BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

You can see that three no trump contract by North and South would easily be defeated with club open ing. I thought that the defense which must be employed against the four-sapde contract is unusually interesting and yet not really dif- ficult.
 With Vests weak hand, his marked opening is the deuce of diamonds. The tendency on the part of most East players would be to win with the ace, return a diamond for his partner to ruff. hoping to get back in with the ace of trumps and maybe give West another ruff. But the word may be" ism. in a good bridge players vocabulary.
 East should reason that South must have at least five spades, oth- erwise he would be playing the con- tract at three no trump. Therefore, West can have but two spades, so that 1t will be impossible for him to get two ruffs.
 But west might hold the king of hearts, even the ace. If he holds the ace. he won't lose 1t, but the king Of hearts would have to be estab-

THREE SAILFISH IN
ONE WEEK BROUGHT
IN BY UNCLE, NIECE

You have to hand il to the
Barthman- Blaine combination
for bringing in sailfish; yes
terdaY they brought in their
third in a week.
This time Miss Marion
Blaine. of New York. was
the hero of the day. and the
beauty she brought in weigh
ed AZ pounds and measured
6'l0E". A mackerel of 1lh
pounds also fell to her lure.
Col. Barthman brought in
the other two sails last
week. one of them topping
the Casa Marina board for
the biggest of the season.
There's a little story behind
it to show Miss Blaine TO be
a smart gal. She hadn't had
a bite all morning. so thought
she might take a bite of
lunch herself. and was being
subjected to quite a bit of
soothing from her uncle. the
colonel. and the guide. When
lunch was over she suspected
she had a strike. Instead of
telling them and be the sub
ject of further banter if she
should prove wrong. she
quietly went and played the
sail till she had him hooked
and leaping!
The men didn't even sus-
pect there was a sail out
there.
In bringing the specimen
to the boat. the wire leader
twisted around its tail in one
of its leaps--so in it had to
come tail first.
It was quite a victory for
the distaff side. Hats off
TO you. Marion.
