Beaver Valley championship, re- quired careful planning by the de- clarer, for he was obliged to start | the play at the second trick. The only declarer who succeed
 ed in making four spades on this
 hand was George c. Mcclure, who. with II. J. Henderson, won the
 Beaver Valley championship. The Bidding.
 South and West passed and MT
 Mcclure, in the North, opened
 with one spade. His hand did not quite Justify that bid in first or second position, but in the one
 over one system third hand may
 open with a hand of very mod-
 East passed dnd MT Henderson, in the South, bid three spades.
 This was Q game demand force
 and commanded the partner to bid either fourspades or three no trump, whichever contract seemed
 best. MT Mcclure re-bid to four spades, which became the final
 contract.
 The Play
 East opened with the king of hearts, which appeared to be the only logical lead from his hand, and of course the declarer won
 with tho ace. An anlysis of the hand showed one sure club loser,
 and the possibility of losing one spade and two diamonds. Most declarers proceeded in the hope that at least one of the pos
 sIble illnesses would be right, and
 thereby the success of the contract
 would be assured.
 Mir Mcclure was more cautious,
 and decided to plan against all | possible emergencies. At the sec ond trick he prepared for an elimination play in case he should fn dthe king of spades wrong, and | 1t should be absolutely necessary to confine his diamond losers to one trick.
 Accordingly, he led the king of clubs at trick two, which West won with the ace and returned q heart. Mrq Mcclure ruffed in dummy with the four of spades. and returned the five, going up with theace of spades when West showed void of that suit. He next returned club to dummy's queen and, Jed back a small club, which was ruffed in his own hand.
 He led his last heart, rubng In dummy with the eight of spades. and returned the last club. which hewas careful to ruff in his own hand with the ten of spades. East's play is now immaterial. but as t | happened he declined to over-ruff and discarded q small diamond. l MT Mcclure led the ten of dia- monds from his hand and West
 won with tho queen, but found himself in hopeless position. To
 return heart would enable the
 declarer to ruff in one hand and
 discard losing diamond from the lother. while to lead diamond
