Have you ever said to yourself, Well. as long as 1 have to lose a trick in this suit, I suppose it doesn't make much difference which opponent l permit to win it? But it does not make lot of difference.
 In today's hand we find that the dcclarer can finesse the dis- mond suit in either direction that is. he can play the jack from his own hand and take the fincsse, or he can go over to the dummy with the ace of hearts > and play the diamond through the ace jack
 South's original bid of one no trump is correct. While the hand is not rich in tenace positions. it docs have two king-queen hold ings. and minor tenace in the diamonds. And. of course, if part ncr should take the no trump out in major suit. South on the next round can support that suit.
 The Play
 West starts the attack with his long spade suit, leading the tight spot, and East plays the ten. South has choice of holding up or winning the first trick.
 His correct play is to win the first trick and then prccent East

ing classes: national masters topen only to winners of major cham pionships), national team-of-four, mems pair, women's pair. mixed team -of-four and open pair.
 First sessions of the tournament will be held at 2 p. m. Monday, August 6, with the final event be- ing played exactly one week later.
 This tournament will tundoub- tedly see the best bridge of the year, and will draw the finest con- tract players in the nation," MT. McKenney said today.
 The tournament executive com mittee is headed by Philip Steiner. and tournament management and scoring will be in the hands of Russell J. Baldwin, tournament director of the American Bridge League.
 Final agreement on one of the most disputed points in the inter national contract bridge world is expected to be reached at the eighth annual national champion ship tournament of the American Bridge League, which opens q weeks sessions August 6 at Ash bury Park, N. J. At this tournament, the leading contract event of the year in the United States, the bng- outstanding dispute about "card-showing" bids is expected to come up for final settlement.
 William E. McKenney, secretary of the American Bridge League, explains the disupte thus:
 American contract players, when bidding powerful hands to slam contract, frequently insert cue bids midway in the contracting to show possession of an. ace in the suit bid.
 The famous Portland Club of England, arbiter of contract for Great Britain, opposes this type of bid as ,unethical. A recent inter- national tournament nearly broke up in d row because the American and English players could not agree about the use of the bid. i Threshing out and settling this point is expected to be one of the major developments at the tourna- ment, at which new champions will be crowned for the major divisions of the American contract bridge world.
 k, Mrs. Joseph J. Davis of Plaza avenue, participated in the tourna- ment last year.
