CONTRACT BRIDGE

Side Honors Worthless Opponent Holding Three Tricks in MY Trump Doubles on Certainty of One . Move +o Snt Contract

You can hardly blame West for thinking that he had South far out on a limb, at a contract of four hearts with a suit obviously of only four cards, when you consider that he held three sure trump tricks, and for the setting tricks had hon. ors in two suits and a partner to rely upon.
 The hearts are quite weak, but South's hand is well distributed for trump play. After North support ed the diamonds, South was sure that he could play the hand at fairly safe contract in that suit, anyway, while if North liked the hearts there was a game in pros pect.
