CONTRACT
BRIDGE
BY EASLEY BLACKWOOD

When you find yourself in an
impossible contract, standard,
middle of the-road dummy play
is no good. For example, if Mrs.
Fusty had taken routine flnesse
in diamonds in today's hand, I'M
queStionably Mr.. Abel would
have won with the king for the
setting trick.

In these situations magma
ton and ingenuity take prece-
dence over normal" play. Mrs
Keen led the deuce of spades
against the six-heart contract.
When Mrs. Fusty saw the dummy
she realized that she could not
take IL tricks unless she could
find some way to trap a defender
into making an error.
She had never known Mr.. Abel
to make an unsound opening bid
and for a sound opening here
he had to have both minor suit
kings. Therefore, illnesses in
= those suits appeared hopeless.
! Mr.. Abel won the first trick
with the ace of spades and re-
turned trump. Mrs. Fusty won
with the ace in her hand, then
led a small trump to the 10 in
dummy.
Next she pulled the ace of
diamonds from the board and
promptly followed suit with the
jack from her hand. Then came
dummy's trey of diamonds and
1t was Mr.. AbelS play.
He heSitated. Was Mrs. FuSty
trying to get him to go up with
the king so that she could ruff,
setting up dummy'S queen for a
club discard? He thought a long
time and finally decided to play
low.
Mrs. Fusty calmly won with
the 10 of diamonds. OF course
she was not out of the woods
yet. She still had a diamond
loser, but she set out to win the
rest of the tricks as follows: She
caShed the king of spades, dis
carding club from dummy. She
RULED her last spade and then
ran the rest of her trumps.
Her last two cards we're the
nine of diamonds and club.
Dummy had the ace and queen
Of clubs. 1t was Mr.. Abel's play
to the 18th trick, holding the
king of diamonds and the king
and jack of clubs. If he dropped
the jack of clubs, Mrs. Fusty
could go up with dummy's ace
and drop the king. So he parted
with the diamond, whereupon
Mrs. Fusty produced the nine
of diamonds, making the third
trick she had won in that suit.
The ace of clubs took the last
trick.

Horse Race looms For July 4tEs

Two local horsemen who have provided the only horSeracing in these parts for several years, will again compete this year, as side attraction on the 4th of July.
 However, there will be a slight change this year. Little Jake Foley's horse Duty will seek to nose out John Gibbons famed Joe, the sugar-eating horse that has led the parade for many years.
 This is a challenge match. Jake Foley, Sr., has sought to win this grudge race for many year, and claims his extra weight had noth- ing to do with the results. This year, he says, he is willing to ride four people on his horse, as han dicap, in order to make the race a little more even.
 Gibbons, on the other hand, says he will probably climb Pillar Mountain first in order to give Foley's entry a chance.
 The winning stake of an unSpeci- fled amount, will go to the 4th of July Fund. Side-bets are another matter.
