hearts. West did not make the
 mistake of doubling and thereby
 disclosing where all of the high
 cards were located.
 The Play
 West opened the king of dia-
 monds, followed by the queen of
 diamonds and then the ace, which South trumped with the six of hearts.
 Three rounds of trump were
 taken by the declarer, winch picked up East's trump. West sig
 naled in spades, thereby locating the king of spades for MT Nix, the declarer.
 Declarer then played his ace of
 hearts and West dropped the ten of spades. The queen of hearts was then played and West was
 careful not to discard his small club, but to play his jack of clubs, attempting to unblock the hand so that he could not be thrown in the lead.
 MT Nix had the West hand counted perfectly and West real ized that he would try to throw
 him in with a club and make him lead the good spade so was prepar- ing to unblock. However, MT Nix
 defeated this play by cashing his ace of clubs and then leading the deuce of clubs. When West played the queen, dummy's king won the trick.
 MT Nix had losing diamond
 in the dummy and losing club in his hand. Also, if he takes the
 spade finesse, that will lose. Here
 is where he decided to put his
 losing cards to work for him. He led the eight of diamonds from dummy, knowing that West
 had the nine, and discarded his
 losing club. This forced West to
 win the trick with the nine and
 he was forced to lead into MT Nix's ace and queen of spades.
 By making his losing cards work for him, MT Nix made his con. tract of four odd. l (Copyright 1888 NEA Service Incl

Until recently practically all of the good bridge players you heard of were from New York or Cleve- land, but today you find good con- tract players wherever you go. There is a young fellow down in Atlanta, Ga, by the name of Ed Nix who has made good record for himself at the Atlanta Bridge Club there, and We can expect to hear q great deal about him in the future.
 He brought to my attention the following interesting hand, and remarked: Here is a hand where you make a losing card work for you"

But now the declarer is con fronted with a difficult problem, since the club finesse will lose. He cashes the ace of spades and leads three rounds of diamonds, West
 dropping spade and a club, East discarding a spade.
 The drop of the club by West practically marks East with three clubs to the queen.
 If the third diamond is won in dummy with the king, the next play will be the pack of spades from dummy. and East, to defeat the contract, must throw away his ace of hearts. If he drops the eight of hearts, the declarer will throw him in with the ace and force him to lead into dummy's ace and jack way to play the hand.
 However, if the declarer wished to make 8 daring play, he would have won the third diamond in his own hand. and then led the five of hearts, which West would win with the jack.
 West then would return the ten of clubs. which should be won in dummy with the ace, and now the jack of spades is played and East is squessed. If he drops the ace good, while if he drops the nine of hearts, declarer's ten will be of clubs, declarer will lead a small club from dummy, take it with the king, and win the last trick with the jack of clubs in dummy.

Due to the fact that an original no trump bid is made only with an especially fine hand, any response by partner is considered forcing for one. round. Even if North had responded with two no trump. South would be forced to bid again. Therefore, when North went to three no trump, his bid became a mild slam try.
 South then showed the heart suit and with that information North could go safely to aslam, as he had all the filters in the other suits.
 The Play.
 The opneing lead by West was the five Of spades. South, the de- clarer, won in dummy with the king, dropping the queen from his own hand. He then played the nine of hearts and East refused to win, declarer putting up the queen.
 He led the nine of diamonds and won in dummy with the jack. Hc returned the deuce of hearts and again Eaht refused to win, declarer winning with the king.

I always have liked P. H. sims remark about any original no trump bid in the Sims system. He says, "An opening bid of one no trump is the gold standard of the system"
 don't care if my partner wishes to use a psychic in any position on an original bid, so long as he does it with a suit bid; but the better players today insist that when you open with an original bid o fone no trump you must have the hand to back it up.
