Mr.. Dale had natural no-trump
distribution. but he felt his hand
was not quite strong enough for
o no-trump opening. He bid one
club, not to be fancy. but to
make his problem Of rebidding
as simple as possible.
Mrs. Keen planned to assist
clubs vigorously. but she could
indicate an even stronger hand
by taking some other action first.
Having no biddable suit outside
of clubs, she also bid a three
carder, choosing diamonds be-
cause that is where her principal
side strength lay.
Mr.. Dale, as planned. was able
to bid again at the one level.
This time there were four cards
in his suit. but it was a pretty
poor suit at that. To an old
timer it would have sounded like
Mr.. Dale surely had 10 or IL
cards in the black suits.
But when Mrs. Keen now
Jumped to three clubs and Mr..
Dale promptly bid three no.
trump, she knew he had a ball
anced type of hand after all and
that he had been merely hiding
his time by his previous bids
until he found out how strong
his partner was.
Mr.. Abel led the six Of hearts
and Mr.. Champion put up the
queen. The hand was in jeop-
drdy at this moment because the
dub f1nesse had to be taken to-
ward Mr.. Champion. If he had
the king Of that suit and returned
q heart. the contract would be
defeated. But. with this partic-
ular distribution of the heart
suit. Mr.. Dale safeguarded the
contract by playing small on the
nrst trick and letting Mr.. Cham
Non win.
The nine of hearts was re-
turned, Mr.. Dale played the jack
and it made no difference what
4Er. Abel did. He had no entry
outside of hearts and his part
1er was now out of the suit. Ac-
tually. he won with the ace and
led a diamond.
Mr.. Dale won and took the
club fineSse, which lost. How
ever, he could control any return
and win the rest.
