! bid on the hand 1t is true that East
| has a minor tenace in clubs but there
is no other reason for his wanting to
play the hand in anything but spades.
The declaration is automatically
placed in his hand by virtue of his

one no trump he can probably buy
the contract for two spades.
! ~ The wild bid. This sort of
bidding has always intrigued Mr.. Ag
greSsive He feels like a Napoleon of
the bridge table when he jumps to
small slam in a hitherto unmentioned
suit The pallor that invariably over
| spreads his partners faces is Joy to
his heart He refused to take account
of the fact that his partners raise
might be based on two queens-due to
! the fact that his side had 40 points
| toward game.
t3) A perfect example of the sucker
double With the bidding, South can
hardly hope to set the hand more than
one trick She also runs the risk of
redouble
a. What are We playing?" de-
manded Mrs. Aggressive The six
over-two? I redouble. And 1 hope
you don't make it,"
| Mrs. Conservative opened small
| diamond-the most innocuous lead
in her hand This relieved Mr.. Ag-
| gresSive of any guess about the jack
of diamonds. No matter what South
leads. East will make his contract: but
with this diamond lead he has a
chance for grand slam.
He played a small spade to the
board-diScovered the spade situation
and finessed the nine spot in his
| own hand. Five rounds of trumps
drew North's spades. South signaled
for a club lead and chen discarded
diamonds. East now played three
rounds of diamonds. discarding two
clubs from his own hand. South let 60
of a small heart and two clubs, bring
| ing her hand down to the queen-jac
small of hearts. and the ace of clubs.
Returning to his own hand with ace
of hearts, East led his last spade.
/ South was squeezed. If she discarded
a heart East would take the last two
| tricks with the king-ten of hearts in
dummy. If she threw the ace of
clubs it would set up East's king Of
clubs.
