thousands Of impoverished Irish im-l

think 1t may be accepted as 3
truth that person without teeth
cannot bite. Had South applied this
thought to the play Of his three-no-
trump contract he would have
brought it safely home.
The bidding may engage our at
tention for a moment. East's call
of one spade is somewhat below the
normal requirements for an opening
bid, but is in accord with modern
practice, which permits the opening
in third position with about .
trick less than would be re-
quired in other positions at the table,
provided a reasonably good suit Is
held.
South had choice. The orthodox
procedure Is to double, but he rea-
soned that, no matter what suit his
partner bid, he was going to bid two
no-trump, so he might as well do so
at once, trusting that partner would
interpret this as a normal two-no-
trump bid with double stopper In
spades. Actually the South hand Is
one point short Of standard two
no-trump bid, which requires "a
points. North had just about enough
to permit the raise to three no
trump.
The ten of spades was opened
(most modern players prefer to open
the deuce under these circum-
stances) and East's queen was per-
mitteed to hold. A low spade was
continued and the jack won.
Dummy was entered with the queen
of diamonds and the club finesse
tried. since the opening bid had
apparently marked the king of clubs
with East. When the finesse failed,
q spade continuation cleared the
suit and the ace Of hearts provided
East with entry to cash the setting
trick In spades.
South had played carelessly In
taking for granted that East held
the king of clubs. IF he had, 50
much the better, he would have 1t
a minute or two later. The king
of clubs was no menace, no matter
who had it, since it could not give
East an entry for his spades. East's
only tooth was the ace OF hearts,
II that were yanked he couldn't bite
declarer. The first play by South
should therefore have been the king
of hearts. If 1t held, he could then
cross to dummy for the purpose OF
taking the club finesse and nine
tricks would be assured, whether or
not the fnesse succeeded. II East
\ wins the ace Of hearts and clears
the spade, the club finesse can be
taken with complete peace Of mind.
since II 1t loses West win have no
spade to return, or, II by chance he
has one, there is only one more spade
trick out against the declarer.
In other words, the king OF clubs
was not the card to worry about;
the ace OF hearts was.
Tomorrow's Problem.
