 The following hand combines only Bath coup, but some neat end plays. It was played in the recent Vanderbilt tournament by Miss Helene Scranton, one of New YoYrYkY's women contract stars.
 West opened the king of spades Miss Scranton, in the South, hold ing ace, jack, and nine of spades decided to refuse to win the first trick.
 To refuse to win a trick, when holding the ace-jack, Is shown as the Bath coup. It is made with the hope that the opponent will continue with that suit and 1t then vii be possible to make the ace and jack. while, If the trick is won immediately, the other op- ponent may get in and lead through the deelarers jack. However. West refused to fall into the trap and led tho seven of diamonds. East went up with the queen and South won with the king.
