on the surface we can assume his

on the part of the Washington

the American League race.
If the club should happen,
heaven forbid, to finish some

therefore, it can't be said it didn't

mond fineSSe.
 The declarer planned his play en- tirely on the opening lead by West. Its was highly improbable that West had underled the ace and queen, or ace and jack. Upon that assumption declarer decided to in- sure against a possible losing dia- mond finesse.
 East won the opening lead with the jack. He returned heart. De- clarer won with the ace, and led a low spade, winning in dummy with the queen. Now the king of clubs was led, East played the ace and South ruffed.
 Another trump was led to dunn my, and a third club led. South discarded a diamond, and West won with the queen. West led a dia- mond, but South refused the finesse and won with the ace.
 The remaining diamond Is de. clarer's hand was discarded on the established club. South then lost a heart trick, but fulfilled his con- tract

CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY
 Secretary of the American Bridge League
Avoids Chance of Defeat Declarer Sets up Side Suit for Discard of Loser, Instead of Depending
 on Successful Fnesse

When the education of the bridge player has progressed to the point where he can plan the play of 8 hand so as to retain an alternative line of action, in case of the orig inal plan does not work out, he has taken a long step towards bridge mastery. When he looks around for 8 second chance to gain the trick that is badly needed for the con- tract, he has become 8 good bridge player indeed.
 In today's hand, South appar- ently must lose one club, one heart, and one diamond. With the dia- mond ace-queen combination in the dummy, the obvious method of play is to take the finesse in that suit, and hope that the diamond king lies right.
 South cannot strip his opponents
