The national championship tour nament of the American Bridge league is divided into two sessions, a summer session, generally held at Asbury Park, N. J., and fall ses- sion. The reason is that there are too many different events to be conducted withi none week. so in- stead of having the tournament run two weeks, half of the summer and the remainder of the fall.
 Midwestern players will be pleased to learn that the fall ses- sion of the tournament will be held in Chicago this year. the weel: of Dec. 2 at the Stevens hotel. The leagues first national tournament was held in Chicago in 1927, re- turning again in 1929. but it has been six years since the Windy City was host to the country's bridge stars.
 < Midwestern players have been unusually successful in winning the national titles when played for in their home territory. However. eastern players are already making plans to attend in large numbers, and as bidding system now are more or less standardized, card playing will determine the winners this year.

Clevelanders who will attend the tournament.
 The Play
 West made a very nice opening of 8 small heart. East put up the ten spot, which forced declarer to win the trick with the ace.
 Now, many players would make the mistake of running the club suit, which would be wrong. Count your tricks - five clubs and two hearts; that is seven. The tricks must be developed. The safest place to develop them is in diamonds.
 Therefore, South's correct play is immediately to lay down the king of diamonds and when West wins and returns the jac ok hearts, de-. clarer must refuse to win this trick. The six of hearts is played next and won with the king by de- clarer.
 The nine of diamonds is played and, if West refuses to win, declar- CT will continue with the deuce of diamonds. Now the only tricks that East and West can make are the queen sof diamonds and the ace of spades.
