which will be held in New York
Feb. % to March 8. The Eastern
open pair event still holds the all

In 1885 this event was won by
Harry B. Raffel and Melville Alex
ander of New York, and the late
Louis H. Watson and myself fin
ished in second place. I recall that
after one hand that Louis played, I
said, "Why didn't you take that
heart trick when they offered it to
you, LOUISE" And he replied, Be
ware Of the Greeks bearing gifts. II

would have lost the contract"
Here is the hand. The first trick
was won by Louis diamond jack
over the nine. He then led clubs,
forcing out the ace on the third
round, on which East discarded the
deuce of spades.
In response to this slight indi-
cation, West shifted to the eight
Of hearts. After some consideration.
Louis played the jack from dummy,
East cleverly played the queen and
after further thought, Louis let him
hold the trick.
East led low heart in the hope
that South had q doubleton ana
