In looking over the candidates
for municipal offices in the ell

does not have a great deal to
choose from, especially in the
school board and city commission
campaigns. All the candidates are
weak from the standpoint Of doing
anything progressive for the Ne

this is. undoubtedly the quietest
campaign in Dayton in many de-
cades. Contrast it with the cam

Goren on Bridge

Two Chances Are Better Than One.
When a great many points are at
stake the best possible chance should
be taken to fulfill the contract even
though it involves going down an
additional trick should the plan fail.
In today's hand, South became de-
clarer at a contract Of six spades
on bidding that meets with our un-
qualified approval. North's response
of two hearts was routine and after
South made a jump rebid. North re-
allied there was a good chance Tor
slam because he himself held the
equal of an opening bid. He, there
fore. took pains to show the ace OF
diamonds, whereupon South re-
turned the compliment in hearts.
North was now content to show his
spade support and South did the
rest. He knew that the ace OF CLUBS
was adversely held, because Nortn
had failed to show it, but with the
lead coming up to him there was no
immediate danger and he hoped TO
be able to develop partners near'
suit for discards.
The ten of clubs was led, taken by
the ace and the four returned. De-
clarer won and trumps were extract
ed. He was now apparently pre-.
sented with a choice Of plays. Ii
west held the king Of diamonds, ne
could flnesse the queen and discard
a heart on the ace. The alternative
was to try to guess who had the
queen of hearts. South decided on
the latter course. He led NUMBER
of trunps with the hope that the
discards would be enlightening, but
the opposition would not furnish
any clues. At length, he played tne
ace of hearts and finessed the ten
In dummy, losing to Easts queen.
Declarer had not chosen the pest
line of play. He placed all his hopes
IN the heart finesse. He should have
Qiven himself two chances instead
Of one. After trumps are out he
should play the two high hearts.
There is a chance that the queen
will fall doubleton. If it does, his
worries are over. If it fails to ap-
pear. he still has remaining the hope
the diamond finesse will succeed.
It is true that declarer incurs the
risk of going down two tricks In
stead of one If East has the king Of
diamonds and the remaining heart
but surely it is worth it. Bear tr
mind that If the only consideration
where the location Of the queen Of
hearts the finesse would be a better
play than the attempt to drop it
but where eight cards of suit art
held and the queen is missing the
play for the finesse is only slightly
superior to the play for the drop 81
that If an additional play suggests
itself it is usually profitable to aban'
don the hnesse. Remember wher
the finesse fails declarer is a vic
tim Of sudden death. If the play fol
the drop fails, declarer still holds
the lead and retains the hope tina
his alternative play may win.
