Seattle needs many progressive
business men like Mr.. Beale, who
refuse to wait for an opportunity

of Seattle and the Northwest. We
wish him every success in his var
ious business adventures. We
pronounce him friend in need,

grinned with satisfaction when he
saw the dummy. The poor fellow
didn't realize the horrible fate that
was in store for him. East ruffed

East had ruffed three spades, while
West had ruffed three clubs.
Every reader can easily imagine
the discussion which followed. How
could they have foreseen the dis
aster and how could it have been
avoided?
The first question is easily an
swered. The disaster could not
have been foreseen. Short of peek
ing, there is no way to foretell how
the cards held by the opponents
are distributed, particularly when
they never enter the bidding.
But it could have been avoided.
South might have bid six no-trump
instead of seven hearts. North's
Blackwood responses showed two
aces and king, three sure tricks,
and South's nine sure tricks made
total of IL. South could have
been positive of making six no.
trump, but could not really be sure
Of seven hearts, even If there had
been no cross-ruff.
incidentally. the point of bidding
spades with the South hand eludes
us. We hasten to point out that
we don't recommend the bid, but
merely report what actually took
place.
