Opening lead, king of spades.
am little reticent about relating
today's tale. 1t is in certain sense
a sad story, because it shows what a
miscarriage of justice Lady Luck will
sometimes tolerate. Perhaps the
conquest of crime over righteous
living should not be glorified in this
column, but this happens to be a
very true story of a match quite some
time ago between teams of four rep
resenting New York and Boston, re-
spectively, and while it may not be
fair. it is at least fit to print. ~
The bidding shown in the diagram
above was that put up by the Boston
team and I think is not subject to
criticism. There may be some slight
question about the opening two bid,
inasmuch as the hand may have
four losers if played in the minor
suit and may not work out at no.
trump because of the lack of protec-
ton in spades. All in all, I think
that the two bid is good policy be-
cause it will be almost impossible to
describe the enormous power of the
hand In later rounds Gf there are
any If the hand is opened with one
club. South responded with two no.
trump and North raised to three.
Perhaps better tactics would be to
rebid the clubs, affording partner
the opportunity to show heart suit
which he may have been unwilling
to speak about on the first round.
| The king of spades was opened
and there was no point in South's
holding up. Everything appeared to
depend on the club suit. Since this
was the last time declarer was going
to be in his own hand, he had to de-
eide upon the finesse then and there.
There could be no laying down one
high honor first and then finessing
on the second round. We know now
what the winning play would have
been, but East was holding his cards
close to his waiStcoat and declarer
had nothing to rely on but probabili-
ties. He chose the correct percentage
play of flnessing and when the trick
was taken by the queen, the spade
suit was run against him for a
one-trick set.
When the New York team held
this hand. North blew hot and cold.
First, he opened with one club and
when South showed him the courtesy
OF keeping the bidding open with
one no-trump, he committed an
atrocity in the way of a leap to six
no-trump. The opening lead, as be-
/ AoiS, "oo VAC Mig VI SpduGS.
With IL tricks as the objective, the
club suit alone, would not suffice.
The heart f1nesse would have to work
and it would have to be repeated.
In order to permit such play, South
would require another entry and the
only hope was the ten of clubs. Well,
since the only way must be the right
one, South went to it. The heart
flnesse was taken and held. The
ace and king of clubs dropped the
queen. The three high diamonds
were cashed and the suit broke.
South entered his hand with the ten
OF clubs, cashed the lone diamond,
discarding spade from dummy, re-
peated the heart finesse and took all
l3 tricks. 1t just isn't fair.

An oxford accent is considered
by many graduates of that uni
versity to be the perfection of corr
rect English; but unfortunately over
large and densely populated districts
of Great Britain it irritates some
listeners to the point of switching
off. and infuriates others so much
that they smash their wireless sets
because they cannot smash the
OXonian. If he CKing George de-
livered a single broadcast in an OK
ford accent his people would rise up
that very day and proclaim a re-
public.
Also, in the preface to "Pygma-
lion," Shaw declares: THE English
have no respect for their language
and will not teach their children
to speak it. 1t is impossible for an
Englishman to open his mouth with
out making some other Englishman

Big changes are in store for this base when the WAC contingent arrives sometime in the Fall.
 Division Personnel announced that the Nome contingent will be smaller than those stationed at Great Falls, Whitehorse or Fair banks. About 30 Wacs are expect ed. Construction of two barracks, messhall and recreation-supply building, estimated to cost $108,- 900, has been approved.
 Wacs were originally scheduled for Nome last year, but consrtuc- ton problems snafued the plan. The way will be paved for the new contingent by Captain Susan Flaherty, recently appointed Staff WAC Officer as adviser to the Commanding General on WAC affairs.
