with the b-roadcasLing Wednesday
at 800 o'clock OF the first game in
Milton c. Works Annual Bridge by
Radio Series. heard locally through
Station KWWG.
Bridge listeners Will find this Sc
ries even more interesting than
those which have gone before on
account OF a new scheme Of Mr..
Works by which every player who
follows these games can handicap
himself as a first, second, third or
fourth class player. More about
this later.
The experts who participated In
the Bridge game were: Mrs. II. L.
Westervelt, New Haven, Conn
Dealer, South. holding: Spades,
K. 2; Hearts, @. 5, 2; Diamonds, K.

Spokane, Wash, (East), with:
Spades A, 4, 6, 8; Hearts, 8, 3; Dia-
monds, j. 8. z. s; CUBS j. 5. 3.
The only bid Of the Auction was
me No Trump by Mrs. Weason.
West, a call amply justified by her
total Of 10 based on the popular
1921 No Trump count which re-
Quires three suits stopped and a
count Of II for an original No
Trump bid by first Or second hand.
Mr.. Wyman. North. opened the
play by leading the Jack Of Hearts,
he correct No Trump lead from a
suit headed J-10-9 or J-10-S. De-
clarer played Dummy's Trey; South
Played the 5; and Declarer won
with the Ace. Declarer saw the 60
ing would be difficult. but proceed
ed to try to establish the only
eight-card suit in her combined
hands, by leading her 4 Of Spades.
North played the 8. Dummy the
Ace, South the Deuce. Dummy then
led the Trey, bringing out South's
King. Declarer played the 9. thus
creating a fourth-round en,ry in
Dummy, and North dropped the 10.
South returned her partners
Hearts. leading the Queen. Declar-
er ducked with the s; North played
the 4: Dummy the 8. South contin-
ued Hearts with the Deuce; Declar-
er won with the King; North played
the z. thus showing his partner that
he had the remaining Hears, as his
lead must have been from J-i0-9:
To trick six Declarer led the
Queen Of Spades: North followed
with the Jack: Dummy with the @:
and South discarded the Deuce or
Clubs. Declarer continued with the
5 Of Spc u. over aking with Dunn
my's z. North discarded the 6 Of
Clubs and South the Deuce Of Dia-
monds, keeping both her high Dia-
mond and her high Club guarded.
Dummy led the 5 of Diamonds
to trick eight: South paved the
Trey; Declarer the Ace; and North
rose TO the occasion by making a
brilliant exit" play of the Queen
OF Diamonds. He knew that if De-
clarer held the King Of Diamonds.
his Queen would be lost anyhow. If
he did hold up the Queen, and his
partner held the King-i0, she
would not be abe to overtake his
Queen because she would have to
keep her King over Dummy's Jack.
So while North might win the sec
ond Diamond trick BIZ holding his
Queen. and would be able to make
his two good Hearts and his Ace
Of Clubs, he would have a Club
left for the thirteenth trick which
he could reasonably expect would
be won by Declarer, giving her the
old trick and contract. BY playing
