"
With the war over, the American
Contract Bridge League has re
turned to it's original child well
fare activity, the fight against
cancer in children.
Recently Mrs. Fred Hirsch of
New York sent in a check for
$10O from the National Nah Jong
League, for the Children's Cancer
Fund.
Mrs! Hirsch is becoming inter-
ested in duplicate bridge and COM
peted for the first time not long
ago at the Adirondack Tourna-
ment. Her husband, who was her
partner, gave her full credit for
today's hand, and think you will
agree that she deserves it.
Mrs. Hirsch (East) won the
opening heart lead in dummy with
the king. Now most players made
the mistake of leading a diamond
to their own hand in order to take
the spade finesse; but South ruffea
the ace of diamonds and led an
other heart, which North ruffed.
A diamond came back and South
got in another ruff.
Mrs Hirsch saw that if she could
avoid losing nor than n spade
ana one heart trick, she could
make her contract.
At trick two she led dummy's
ace of spades, followed by another
spade. South won this with the
king and tried to cash the king of
clubs; but Mrs Hirsch ruffed,
picked up the trumps and spread
the hand for the balance of the
tricks, making six-odd.
