Today's Contract Problem

the American Bridge League con- venes in Chicago No. 30, some of the eastern experts, who study @ play for half an hour, are going to be dazzled when Red" plays an entire hand in 30 seconds.
 Reilly is Q great practical psy- chologist. and the way in which he reads the holdings of both partner and opponents alike often Is nothing short of amazing.
 In today's hand, the manner in which he reached a grand slam is not laid down in any book. It was just sheer genius. The hand, of course. is a spread. but there are few, even experts, who would reach the grand slam contract.
 'When the other fellows kept biding diamonds and spades. and especially when West bid five diamonds" Reilly explained, "I knew my partner did not have a diamond trick. and as he opened the bidding, and raised my clubs, the only cards he could have were the ace and king of clubs and the king of hearts. Why wouldn't bid seven?"
 Why. indeed?

than IL budding thespians for

are Milton Freedman. Ruth
