Malowan bid one no trump on the
South cards, Liggett in the North two,
Malowan three, and West led the queen
of hearts, on which East put the king
to unlock. Malowan let that trick go.
also the second, fearing that East's lead
OF the might be a false card and he
took the third with his ace. In addi-
ton to this, he could count two sure
tricks in spades, two in diamonds and one
in clubs, for total of six Three more
were needed, and they could be got only
in clubs, If at ALL
Surveying his situation, Malowan saw
that he could afford to lose trick to
the king of clubs if East had it, for the
latter could not then return a heart to
the danger hand. Thus, if the king was
with East, three extra tricks were sure
whether he f1nessed or not. There was
also the bare possibility that the king
might be singleton in the West hand,
in which event he would be defeated I'M
less he dropped the king with an ace
lead So, with everything to gain and
nothing to lose by the play, he led his
ace OF clubs. The result is obvious He
took one more trick than his contract.
This play made a tremendous gain for
his pair. At every other table the hand
was bid the same and the finesse was
tried, declarer being set two tricks in
each case. At one of those tables Philip
Hal Sims, in the West position, doubled
the contract and defeated it two tricks
for loss Of 600 points, whereas the ace
lead OF clubs would have enabled the
opponents to score 1,010 points-a diff
ference Of 1910 points from the play of
enc card.

Contract Systems.

How much high card strength Is re-
quired for minimum bid in a reg
ular goulaSh, and how many trumps do
you need to consider them normal sup
port for partners suit bid?
On both of these matters. leading
authorities take extremely divergent
views. Because Of the freakish distribu-
ton Of cards in goulash deals, with each
hand generally made up of extremely
long suits and void or short suits, the
mathematics applying to sound bids in
a normal deal cannot be obeyed. This
bizarre condition causes some authori-
ties to frown upon original bids with
minimum high card strength and insist
that more high card strength Is neces-
Sary to open the bidding in a goulash
deal Some Of those who ask only two
high card tricks in a regular deal insist
on at least a half a trick more in a
goulash. Others reverse this, saying that
high cards are less important in a
goulaSh because most Of the tricks are
taken by Institutional values instead of
high cards; some of the regular two and
a half trick showers reduce this amount
to two in goulash deal.
The same variance is found in regard
to minimum support of partners trump
suit. Some experts argue that in
goulaSh deal the original bidders suit
is likely to be longer than in a regular
deal and therefore not as many trumps
are needed for safe support; some who
ordinarily require four little trumps or
else three to the ace, king or queen, will
reduce these holdings by one card.
Others take the stand that the hostile
trumps are likely to be punched In the

A DOUBLE or redouble when it is
partners turn to declare. When
this occurs, the opponents may consult
before declaring further, and may take
their choice Of three alternatives: /.
To call the bid made before the offense
the final bid. 2. To call the. doubled or
redoubled bid the final bid 3. To de-
mand a new deal.

form of preference fo- some
one kind Of play as opposed
to others. When this occurs the player
is comparable to a carpenter who pre-
fers particular tool in his kit and keeps
looking for opportunities to use it to the
exclusion of everything else His fin
ished product can hardly clash with that
of the man who knows the right way to
use all Of the tools, also the right time
and place.
We have all seen the player who in
variably runs his trumps at the outset,
also the one who always tries for a ruff
in dummy before he lu.4S his trumps, if
there is any earthly way to do So Those
prescriptions are ideally adapted to some
cases, but when followed blindly, it is only
mere luck as to whether they fit or not.
The sane player diagnoses the situation
with all of his available methods of pro-
cedure in mind and selects the one that
seems best to 1T the particular problem
ut hand
Of all the habits, probably none is
more widespread than that of the in
veterate finesser. Let him see possible
finesse in his hand and he will go for it,
justifying his failures with the platitude,
well, a finesse may gain you a trick,
but it can never lose one." If that were
true, the corner store would probably sell
bridge-playing machines on which you
could set the dial at 'afineSSe" and SIM
ply turn crank to grind out the tricks.
illnesses may be the very worst thing in
some hands, and the player who studies
his problem keenly will avoid them
whenever there is any way to do 30
and still attain his goal
One Of the finest examples of refusing
TO finesse that has appeared in some
time occurred In the recent Atlantic
Coast contract championship at Attain
tic City, the beneiciaries Of it being
Walter Malowan and Comdr. Winfield
Liggett, jr., who won the title Here is

They In0ol0e PRE- erences for Certain Plays.

This hand illustrates what is known
in expert circles as the grand coup" 1t
is frequently referred to as the prettieSt
Of all postgraduate" plays. The OPP
portunitieS to make it are rare, but It II
seldom difficult one to detect and per-
form when the proper circumstances for
it exist
In this case the circumstances are
in the two offensive hands, five are held
by the adverSaries. When the left hand
foe fails to follow suit on the second
trick, it discloses the fact that the right
hand one originally held four of them,
including the jack. The second trick
leaves him with the jack and little one
as guard to it, Thus he appears sure
to take trump trick, for there are no
more trumps in dummy to lead through
him and enable declarer to catch his
Jack with the queen.
The jack can be caught however, II
declarer can cause the lead to come from
dummy on the next to last trick, with
himself holding the queen and 10 over
the cards of the opponent, who then will
have to play before him. The problem.
dummy on the next to last trick. This
cannot be done if declarer has only
trumps in his hand for his last three
cards. So he must get rid of some Of
his trumps earlier.
To the fourth trick he leads his little
diamond and takes it with the ace Next
a diamond lead by dummy is trumped
with the deuce. A heart puts dummy IN
again for another diamond lead, trumped
by the six. A second heart gives dummy
another diamond lead to be ruffed by
the eight. The third heart trick gives
dummy the lead again, and he caShes
q high diamond, then leads the crucial
card, on which the opponent has nothing
to play but one Of his trumps. II he
plays the jack, declarer nails it with the
queen; If his smaller one, declarer wins
with the 10 and drops the jack on his
final trick.
The trumping Of perfectly good cards
to cut down the number Of trumps in the
other hand is the hallmark of the grand
coup. When this trumping is done once,
the play is called single grand coup,
when twice double grand coup, when
three times triple grand coup, a. in
this case. It is well always to consider
the chance Of making this play when
ever the opponent at the left proves
short Of trumps and the right hand one
has trump which can be killed only if
declarer gets last whack at it.

hand Of one Of the opponents, and that
therefore partner of suit bidder should
have more trumps in goulash hand
than in regular hand; some who ordi-
narily consider three little trumpS or
two to the ace or king as enough are in
sistent upon at least one more as sup
port in goulash.
AS between these extreme views, a
player must take his choice, but it is well
to have an understanding with partner
about them so that the side will not
come to grief for lack of agreement.
In passing goulash, how can partners
regulate their second and third passes
profitably when it happens that they
unfortunately exchanged cards of the
same suit or suits on the first pass?

Bridge Mtimacies.

JULIAN RICE, member Of an illustrious
bridge family, brother of Dorothy
Rice Sims, has been noted for years as
a crossword puzzle constructor, has held
two national amateur billiard champion
ships and now is a skilled instructor in
contract and auction to various kinds of
groups in and around New York City He
Is one OF those who like to be called
upon to prove their statements. One of
his favorite assertions is that contract
Is more definite test of skill than
auction. While playing with two skilled
players and one less adept recently, the
weaker one questioned his contention.
So he kept track of the high cards held.
In the next rubber, the side of the
weaker player held Sc aces to % by the
stronger and 4S kings against Al, yet was
beaten by $500 points. In auction, he
maintained, the weaker side would have
been certain to win with that pre-
ponderance Of cards.
