Defense Hos Big Part z
In Success of Teom

Analyze the play in the last
World Series and you will find that
at least two games-the close ones
were won defensively, around
second base. The same truth holds
Tor the shambles of 1888, when the
Yankees stepped on the Cubs. It's
dlsheartening to see a well-hit ball
turned into machinelike play at
first, with pink ribbon around it,
II some sucker happens to be on
base already.
The answer, then, is to arrange
for a slight accident to occur to
Gordon and Crosetti. At least, I
thought that was the answer. But
my scouts inform me that Crosetti
and Gordon would straightaway be
replaced by Rizzuto and Priddy
from Kansas City.
Just as good as the others, chief
Just as good my scouts assure me
So that looks like blind alley
Maybe we'd better concentrate on
Dickey, after all. If Joe Cronin

suddenly shows up missing? Nc

. McKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
 Americas Card Authority

Informatory bidding-the show ing of all possible suits-is a nec- essary part of contract bridge, but sometimes it informs the opponents two well how to put up the killing defense.
 Here is an interesting hand taken from the Northern California women's pair championship. which was won by Mrs. Alice Carroll and Mrs. Esther Layman of San Francis co.
 The entire hand is based on the deductions to be made from the bidding. When North overcalled Vests spade bid with two clubs, she was marked for at least four clubs. SouthS support of the club suit gave West reason to believe that South also held four clubs, or three with one or two high honors, which might mean that North held five clubs. West realized that she would be able to geS in twice with her ace-queen of hearts.
 The bidding further indicated that neither North nor South held more than four hearts. which would give East three trumps. If West could make use of her partners third trump. she thought the con- tract would be defeated.
 West therefore opened the seven of clubs. DeclareE won in dummy
