The king Of hearts was the opening
lead and declarer made seven-odd.
Some comment on the hand and
the bid suggested that II South had
bid two diamonds, game demand
bid, instead of five. he could have
reached a small slam, which he
would have made with an extra
trick, provided a spade had not been
the opening lead, and that would
also have been doubled. That pre-
supposes that his partner In the
North would have been able to show
his ace Of clubs. Many slams are
made that are not bid, as every
player knows. Had South called two
diamonds, West with his strong
holding, which prompted him to
double five diamonds, would have
known at once that the opening
was not in accordance with any
conventional opening two bid, for
which five and one-half high honor
tricks are necessary, Because he
himself must have had four such
tricks, with long hearts. He would
have bid four or five hearts and
that would have precluded North
from showing his clubs at so high
a level. He would have thought that
somebody was "spoofing" and East
and West would have been allowed
to make their contract. South had
practically no defense against a
heart bid for the first diamond lead
would doubtless have been trumped
and If East held the queen of clubs
West could have come through
South's king of that suit and South's
hand would have been worthless.
The judgment, therefore, stands
that South's pre-emptive five-dia-
mond bid was the best call.
In the first OF the National Press
Clubs series of duplicate games the
