. MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE
Memphis Tourney Sure
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
fAmerica's Gard Authority

One tournament that know will
be big success this year is the Cot
ton Belt Tournament to be held at
Memphis, Tenn, March to 8. -Four
Memphis women came to Richmond
in December and carried home the
national women's team : OF = four
championship trophy. They had a
remarkable score in both the first
and second session, and their vic
tory was very popular. I imagine
that many players of the south will
turn out at this tournament to
celebrate their victory.
like the line of play adopted In
today's hand by Mrs. Randolph
Scott, one of the members of this
champion team. On the opening
lead, Mrs. Scott, sitting North, was
faced with the problem of what
suit to develop.
II the defense held two heart
shoppers, developing the suit would
be dangerous, since they might be
able to cash three spades. If West
got in with a heart, she surely
would shift to spades anyhow, so
that if the jack was held by East,
the loss of three spades was in
evitable.
Mrs. Scott decided to take the
bull by the horns and develop the
spades herself. She took the open
ing lead in dummy with the jack
Of diamonds and led a spade.
East won the nine with the jack
and led the deuce of diamonds.
Dummy put on the king In order to
lead the other spade, and now a
duck with the six forced the ace.
