You seldom see seven rounds of
bidding in any bridge hand, but
here j n that produced % out
of 81 match points for the new
world Masters pair champions,
Harry Fishbein and Morrie Ellis.
Fishbein's opening bid of two
spades was a game-demand bid.
Elis's three-club bid showed the
ace of clubs, three diamonds and
showed Fishbein's second suit, and
now Ellis showed his real suit with
a bid OF three hearts. Three spades
indicated that Fishbein's hand
was strictly a two-suiter, and the
bid OF three no trump told Fish.
bein there was no fit in either of
the suits he mentioned.
Then Fishbein demanded that
the hand be played at a suit with
the bid of four diamonds. Still
denying a fit, but showing addi-
tlonal strength in the hand, Ellis
responded with four hearts.
The ~four-spade bid stated that
Fishbein could stand at least five
diamonds. Four no trump by Ellis
was a very fine bid, as it was made
to show some additional strength
in clubs.
Five spades was another de-
mand by Fishbein that the hand
be played at a suit, but Ellis made
one more attempt for a slam in no
trump. Fishbein responded with
six diamonds and Ellis won top
score on the board for his partner

AUTO MAKERS SEE
THIRD BEST YEAR
4,650,0O0 1941 Passenger Cars
And Trucks To Be
Built
BY A j. W1LKIE

AsSOcldLed AutOmOt1Ve Editor
DETROIT, Sept. 14-Wil the
motorcar industry produce 1850, 900
passenger cars and trucks during
the 1941 model year?
At this moment the answer is
largely one of guess work, but this
writer believes the year ahead is
destined to be the third largest in
production in the history Of the
motorcar and that war orders will
not interfere with the normal peace
time activities of the industry.
Further than that, he believes that
1912 model motorcars will be. Put
into production on schedule at this
time next year. -
In the light Of the uncertainty
ahead of all industry the latter
statement probably is a little more
venturesome than that regarding
the 1941 model output. However, the
men who make motcrcars already
have Some preliminary work done
on the 1912 model, despite the fact
they are just putting the 1941 car
on sale. .
They r carrying on this pre-
liminary work on a normal basis and
within a few months will have made
final decisions on many phases Of
the 1912 models. Every manufactur.
er has pointed out that only a small
part of the existing production equip.
ment can be adopted to any use
other than that of automobile, pro.
duction.
Most of this equipment is new,
representing an investment Of sew
eral hundred millions of dollars and
it must be kept in use If the car
makers are to recover their invest
ment. =
