46 Saturday, March JACKPOT: Vic Blake (Great Northern Credit Corpora, tidn) hit the jackpot this week but it didn't last long Vic transferred some money from a branch of the Bank of Montreal in Toronto. He went to pick up the bank draft at the at St. Laurent and Montreal Road. He was in a hurry and knew the teller, and knew the teller knew him. He was to -pick up a draft for $2,500, and it was ready.

They exchanged pleasantries and the cheque was handed to him. He was half way out the door when he bellowed, and froze. He had just noticed there were a couple of extra zeros on the note. He was holding a bank draft for $250,000 Weak-kneed and excited, he went back to the teller. To his surprise she took it all very calmly.

She picked up a telephone and called the branch in Toronto. Apparently at the Toronto end somebody wasn't quite so calm. ''Hold him right there," was the order from that end. But he wasn't going" anyplace, the Ottawa teller expfeined. He had returned the cheque He left a few minutes later with a new draft, with fewer zeros.

CAPITAL CAPERS: Printer Bill Polsky has almost made career of being a wiseguy. But he may be slowing down. In Toronto on business this week, he was checking out of the Regency Hyatt Hotel in a hurry. He had to catch a plane. But when he arrived in the lobby there was a long line-up at the check-out desk.

It was so long he feared he would miss his flight. He asked what was happening, A convention was checking out and it could take half an hour to get out. Minutes later, Polsky stood in the middle of the lobby end announced: "Could I have the attention please of all the people from the convention. Before you check out would you regency Hyatt all go back to the registration floor, to de-register! Thank you." The line-up at the desk grumbled, then moved towards the -elevators. Polsky stepped up to the desk, checked out, and within two minutes was seated on the airport bus.

NORTH A 85o K103 AS KQJt2 WEST EAST 6KQJM6Z Q97S 4 OKI 43 OJ10 7 10 7 5 4 S3 SOUTH ATS AJII2 Q2 A The bidding: North East South West 1 2 A 3 7 Past 4 Past 4 Pan 5 Pass Past Past Pas Opening lead: Nine of a. A preemptive bid often disrupts the smooth flow of the opponents' auction. However, it can also backfire by driving the opponents into a mak-able contract that they might not have reached under their own steam, and by locating key cards for them.

Left to their own devices, it is unlikely that North-South would have gotten beyond four hearts. East's preemptive jump overcall of two spades propelled the auction Into slam, for after North had raised South's suit, the latter felt that he was committed to make another move because of his wealth of controls and the fact that North's hand was not yet limited to a mint-mum. Cue-bids In spades and diamonds resulted in a heart slam that, considering only the North-South cards, was slightly optimistic. West led the nine of spades, taken by declarer's ace. Since the bidding made it more likely that West held length in hearts, South led the Jack in the hope of pinning the nine.

Dummy's king captured West's queen, and the ten of hearts was cashed to see if the suit would divide 3-2. When East showed out, declarer had an unavoidable trump loser, and prospects looked bleak. There was one chance, and declarer went for it. He played four rounds of clubs, discarding two spades from his hand as West was forced to follow. A heart was led to the ace, and West was thrown on lead with his trump winner.

By now, West was stripped of everything but diamonds, and he was forced to concede the contract to declarer. If he led a low diamond, declarer would run it to his queen, cross to. the ace of diamonds and discard his remaining diamond on the fifth club. It would be no better to lead the king of diamondr for declarer would win iu dummy and discard on the club immediately. Note that declarer could not afford to play the fifth dub while West still held trumps.

West would ruff and exit with a trump, and declarer would be stranded with a diamond loser..
