Weiner opened the jack of hearts and Mrs. Kauder won with the ace, cashed the ace and king of spades, drawing trumps, and entered dummy with the 10 of spades to take the diamond finesse.

last did not cover the queen and declarer let It ride. The ace of elubs was cashed to clear that card for the squeeze on the club king and now a diamond was played to declarer's ace and the spades run. On the last spade West had to let go the king of clubs, setting up South's queen, or throw a heart, making up dummy's fourth heart, to give declarer 13 tricks. Note that had East held the long hearts and the club king, the squeeze would have worked against his hand as well. In the final result only 11 match points separated the first five players to finish in the four-session life master event.

Two Detroit players, H. Sanborn Brown, of Gross Pointe, and Martin Cohn, of Oak Park, topped the field of 168 pairs with 818Vi match points. The runners-up, Francis R. Bcgley and Lou Kelner, both of New York, had 816V match. Robert S.

Mrs. John E. Simon of St Louis, and Mrs. Mary Jane Kauder of Los Angeles, who holds 2071 master points and is called by many "the Helen Sobel of the Pacific Coast," reached seven via an opening two-club force, calling for ace-showing responses.

But the fun of the story is that the pair of women life-masters bid the grand slam against two men life-masters, one of whom was John Simon, Mrs. Simon's husband. Even in a major bridge championship, where the going is notably rough, this Is a pretty bad breaX. Leo Weiner, also of St Louis, was Simon's partner. In order to make the slsm, Mrs.

Xauder had to drop the queen-jack of trumps double-ton, for 11 tricks, find a winning diamond finesse for 12 and a 3-3 heart split or squeeze KERRY DRAKE By Alfred AnejrioiY A LETTER which discusses the question of whether birds can be charmed by players of less than life master rank (fewer than 300 master points), there was a tie for first snakes has come from Mr. M.

MOON'S letter reminds me of the many other reports which have been made of birds being charmed by snakes. The word "charmed" is used in several ways. When used as a verb, it means to drsw toward, to subdue, to control or to enchant. There are animals which "freeze" at the approach Of an enemy. A strong feeling of fear or the hope of escaping notice makes them remain "frozen." WE are not told in the letter which I have quoted whether a nest existed in that tree.

The squeeze play worked tne tree from the west. As I drew near, I heard the bird chirping wildly. "Thinking that some animal might be disturbing the bird's nest, 1 stopped to examine the situation. The tree was only 16 or 20 feet high.

The foliage was not thick, but I saw nothing In the way of an animal. tering approach of the bird. The bird might spy a make and be fearful, but would want to protect the young. In the sense of being "subdued" or "controlled," birds have been charmed on various Occasions. It Is doubtful, however, that the eyes of a snake can draw them close unless their young are in danger.
