majority OF the remaining tables,
At this particular table North az
once read at least one more spade
than hearts, SO he bid 3-Spsdes,
expecting partner to hold not few
err than five spades. Just as South
was to bid, suddenly she remem.
bered her partners preference for
short suits to be bid first. Her
lone club and her AK Of diamonds
decided her to bid 4-Spades which
she Gid, ending the auction at a
call reached at no other table.
I do not know just how play
went, but South made one trick
over her contract, giving her an
unquestioned top score on the
hand. 1t just happened that the
hand always could make one trick
more at spades than at hearts,
with normal play all around.
Those who played game at
hearts reported that perfect de-
Tense held the declarer down to
