The bidding:

diamond Heart Spade Double
No trump Dble. Pass Pass
2Diam. Pass Pass Double
All pass
When he said one spade in to-
days deal, he was making q free
bid-for which he did not have
the values. If the diamond bid had
been passed on his right, then, OF
course. he would have been justi-
fed in bidding a spade.
But that would have been mere |
ly for the purpose Of giving part
ner another chance in case she
had a big hand. When Mr.. Meek
overcalled. Miss Brash automati-
cally got another chance to bid and
"keep-open" bid by Mr.. Muzzy
was not only unnecessary. 1t was
highly dangerous.
Mr.. Dale's double of one spade
looks a little odd, but there was
method in the old masters appar-
ent madness. He considered the |
humanics of the situation. His |
partner was Mr.. Meek and when
Mr.. Meek overcalls vulnerable, he
has avery fine hand.
On Mr.. Dale's left vas Miss,
Brash, a known overbidder and
also famous as a rescuer. On his
right was Mr.. MuZzy who needs no
descriftiVe comment
A final consideration was that
the double of one spade would
probably prevent Mr.. Meek from |
bidding any more in the heart suit.
Miss Brash's first try for a bet
ter spot was one no-trump. When
Mr.. Meek doubled that, she took
a shot at two diamonds, which Mr..
Dale doubled. AS you see, the con-
tract was a hopeless one and when
the smoke cleared away Miss
Brash was down 800 points.
To come into the bidding as he
did, Mr.. Muzzy. needed at least
another ace or the equivalent
thereof, In other words he should |
have had a minimum of two high |
card tricks and a five-card suit.
With fairly respectable flt in his
partners diamond suit, he might
have shaded this little. But not
much.
