Mrs. Black doubled the spade bid instead Of
calling two hearts, as occurred at most tables.
North tried to shut out response by Mr..
Boscovitz by bidding two diamonds. The
latter, with his spade and club holdings, made
a canny pass, seeing his opponents ON their
way to a mess of trouble. South with his
diamond void had to shift to two hearts, which
Mrs. Black doubled with avidity. When North
sidled into two spades to show preference Mr..
Boscowitz came out of his ambush and dis
closed the nefarious nature of his first pass by
making business double.
Mrs. Black able to deduce from the double
that her partner almost surely had either the
ace or queen in the club suit, the only suit
not bid by the opponents, made the we'll
conceived though unusual lead of the king, on
which East signaled with the seven. South
ducked with the FIVE in the hope of taking
two club tricks, even If the king was from the
king queen, as appeared to be the case. The
leading of clubs, to produce third round void,
proved later to be worth 400 points to Mrs.
Blacks side.
She promptly led her other club the queen
dropping under the ace, and declarer's lead
of the heart king put her back in the lead
again with that ace. Now her heart three
enabled Mr.. Boscowitz to ruff, and he returned
a third club to be taken by her lowly trump
singleton, the trick which never could have
been made if she had not opened with club.
The heart six was ruffed and over-rtiffed by
Mr.. Boscowitz. diamond ruff put declarer
back in the lead making only his second trick,
and he couldn't get any more except two spade
tricks and heart. This produced a total
of only five tricks for him. and he was down
three, the adversaries scoring welcome 1900
points. ''r

Il Bigger Thrill

In some respects the biggest thrill of bridge
comes from the great string of 13 cards of a
suit. In others there is more fun in such
deal as this:
Evening star., 1932-04-17
Sbringtime e

The Spring with all its sunshine
And its buds 50 green and young,
OF which all poets warble
And thousand songs are sung.
Recalls to us our childhood
And the tender years of youth
When all the world seemed wondrous
In our cropping for the truth;
It ought to make us kindly
At the failings youngsters show
When making bad mistakes of things
They've had no chance to know;
AS buds of Spring, they'll all grow up,
And so this thought we borrow
The kids who start to learn today
VIII be the stars tomorrow.
- IDDING is nothing more nor less than
an effort to predict what the play will
x be. Every system, at either auction or
contract bridge, is for the purpose of
helping side forecast the number of
tricks which can be made at one dec
laration or another 1t is patent that perfect
bidding is wasted if the bidder cannot then
furnish the correct play. Conversely the per-
son who does not well understand the play can
not very dependably prophesy what it is going
to be.
Rules for bidding under any system are an
important guide in estimating situation But
when the circumstances are a bit complex,
with several players making bids doubles and
what-not during its process, the very fine
player will make differences which enable him
TO know within certain limits Just how the
hand will play with one side or the other as
declarer. The really fine art of bidding, the
wies Of the expert, are then revealed as at
other time
Consequently, if we hear of somebody being
super-excelent bidder but poor player we
can know it Is not So For nobody except a
good player can ever accurately foresee the
play and thus be a fine bidder. Peculiarly, the
absolute antithesis of this is not true for many
a person who plays the cards beautifully has
never mastered fine bidding; the lack in their
cases is usually MISUNDERSTANDING to
visualize in advance, though they can proceed
most cunningly and with the soundest of de-
ductions to guide them after the bidding is
closed.
So many bridge players have given hard
study to bidding in the last year or SO that it
is high time somebody counseled them to study
the play more. Doing so will enable them to
make larger number of the contracts that
they bid and to defeat more Of their oppo-
nents' contracts. In addition, it will even i'm
prove their bidding.
