Stealing a Trick

In some detective stories the
handsome society" burglar let's his
intended victim know just when and
of what he will be robbed. We have
not met enough burglars to say
whether that chivalrous practice Is
followed in real nfe-but we can say
pretty positively that it's ruinous to
bridge burglary. Examine South's
well-planned robbery in the hand

West opened a low spade and
East's queen forced out South's king.
Declarer could count as sure tricks
two spades, two diamonds and either
four or five clubs-depending on
whether or not the finesse worked.
The temptation was strong to lead
the ten of clubs and find out at once
but South thought for a moment
and saw the danger in time.
If the club f1nesse lost, East would
surely return a spade. 1t would
then be useless to lead heart in an
attempt to steal the ninth trick in
that suit. The opponents would SIM
ply hop right up with the ace of
hearts and run enough spades to
defeat the contract.
The proper time to attempt the
steal was before the opponents knew
what was going on; so South led
low heart Immediately after win
ming the first spade trick. West
ducked, hoping to make two or more
heart tricks later on. And when
dummy's queen of hearts held the
trick, South was practically home.
He returned to his hand with dia-
mond to take the club f1nesse. That
lost to East, but no defense could
now stop South from winning nine
tricks.

ported by refugees arriving at the
Swedish frontier and the British
naval commander in the Narvik
zone warned Norwegians to leave
that port because it would be at
tackled without delay in an effort
to blast out the German forces
there.
The British commander broadcast
from TromSoe, north of Narvik
where 1t appeared the Allies had
landed additional troops for opera
tions against the Germans hemmed
in at the iron ore port. Refugees
reached the frontier said that there
had been considerable fighting
north of Narvik, at Oesvattn and
that the Germans had been driven
back.
The newspaper Norbotten Kurien
of Luleaa reported without con-
firmation that 600 German soldiers
already had crossed the Swedish
frontier and been interned after
fighting in the Narvik region.
In the Trondheim zone, the
British troops were reported in a
telephone dispatch from Roeros to
be moving in considerable numbers
toward Trondheim to attack from
the south while other British and
Norwegian troops, operating out of
Namsos, attacked from the north.
Roeros is on the Trondheim Oslo
railroad, 70 miles southeast of
Trondheim. Apparently, the small
Norwegian garrison had held out
since the start of the German in
vasion in the rock based fortress
of Hegre, 25 miles east of Trond-
helm.
1t was indicated that the Ger
man drive already had been slowed
and that one Norwegian force was
holding Raendsfjord, at the south
ern end of the Raendsfjord or lake
only Is miles north of Oslo.
Swedish press reports from the
frontier were that Norwegian and
British troops had taken Hamar,
on Lake Miosen, As miles northeast
of Raendsfjord.
Well informed British quarters
expressed doubt that these reports
were true. But it seemed certain
that British force had made its
way down the Gudbrandsal valley
from Andalsnes. on the North Sea
coast, by the Molde- e-Andalsnes-Lil-
lehammer- Hamar-Oslo railroad and
stood today squarely in the Ger
mans path.
The main British Norwegian force
was reported to be in the Lilleham-
iner region, 80 miles north of Hamar
in the Gudbrandsal valley.
