West deals and finds that ne cannot
bid because his tive-card suit does not
contain three sure tricks and his hand
does not have two quick tricks. He
passes and North and East pass also.
South as fourth hand realizes that he
should not make an original bid with
out an especially strong hand-one
that gives promise of going game
but he has three suits protected ana
four and half quick tricks. AS the
probable tricks are obtained by dou-
bling the quick trick values this would
make nine probable tricks or game, so
he bids one no trump after which all
pass.
Senior leads the fourth best Of his
long suit, the seven of clubs. Dummy
is spread on the table, and decarer
looks over the two hands to estimate
the number of probable tricks and lay
out campaign for the play.
The application of the rule Of eleven
shows him that junior holds two clubs
above the seven, and that If senior has
five clubs junior must hold three. One
of juniors must be an honor because
If senior held King Queen, Jack he
would have led the King. The dia-
mond finesse, if taken, must be made
towards senior. If it loses and senior
has five clubs he will make four of
them, which with the diamond trick
will prevent game. Declarer has four
sure tricks in spades, one in diamonds
and one in clubs, and can get three in
hearts even if that fnesse towards
junior fails provided junior has at that
time no club to lead. Therefore de-
clarer decides not to try the diamond
finesse but to hold up his Ace of clubs
until the third round and then finesse
In this way he proceeds promptly and
plays as follows:

Religion Bows to Hunting :

When the news comes to a church
full of Farce islanders that whales
have been sighted man. woman and
child drop everything and run. The
islanders depend very largely on the
whales for their winter supply of
meat fat and oil.
The Farce islanders are a very re-
ligious race and so a messenger goes
to the church, opens the door quietly
and whispers "Grindabund" to the
nearest man. He, in turn, whispers
to his neighbor and tiptoes softly
from the church, and so the message
is passed on to all who are to take
part In the drive.
Generally, the pastor shortens the
service and often goes, too, but when
the sacrament is being administered
no message is sent to the church. No
man would leave the Lords table to
Join In a grind. Should he dare to do
so, no blessing would follow him or
his.-The Forum.
