If he says three spades, mark
him as a mechanical player. If
he says four spades, do the same.
If he asks, Who is my partner?"
then he is probably as good as
you think he is.
If Miss Brash had been sitting
across the table from him, Mr..
Dale would have rebid three
spades. If a player as extremely
aggressive as Miss Brash chose
to pass, the odds against a game
were overwhelming.
With Mrs. Keen as partner,
he would have tried to gauge
how good the defense might be.
Against the best defenders he
would bid three spades. Against
Mr.. Muzzy and Mr.. New he
swould bid four.
But an expert on bridge "hu-
Gmanics" would have no doubt as
ito the proper action with Mr..
Meek as a partner. Without
question, Mr.. Meek would have
Everything his single raise prom-
Used and probably a little more.
The rebid was four spades auto
smatically.
/ Mrs. Keen opened the jack of
shearts and Mr.. Dale won in his
,oWn hand. At trick two he led
% spade to the king-the stand
sard safety play to protect against
sthe possibility of all four out
standing spades being in Mr..
sAbel's hand.
A small spade was returned
ito the ace. clearing the suit.
Now. Mr.. Dale saw that he was
,all right if Mr.. Abel held the ace
fof diamonds. But on the excel
lent theory that two chances are
sbetter than one, he didn't count
ION that.
He entered dummy with the
ace of hearts and led back a
small club. When Mr.. Abel
played low, he put in the ten.
Mrs. Keen won with the queen
and made her best return, the
nine of clubs. When the club
suit broke 3-3, Mr.. Dale got rid
of diamond on dummy's fourth
club. Thus he lost only two dia-
mondS and a club.
