Fourteen TIMES PHONE HM HE READING" I ME A DING, PA WEDNESDAY MORNING JANUARY; 29, '19 3 0 TIMES PHONE SIM RADIO BRIDGE GAME PLAYED BY EXPERTS Summary and Analysis of 'Last Night's Broadcast By Milton Work, Noted Authority The old saying that "to be a bridge pxnert vou must, know the conven tions and when to break them" was proven true again in the eleventh of Milton C. Work's radio bridge games, broadcast last night from station WRAW, with Mrs. Ella G. Pimm of Montreal, Canada; Mrs. William O.

Ryan of San Antonio, Texas; Shepard G. Barclay of New York, and K. J. Tobln of Chicago, as players. The cards were: Mrs.

Pimm, dealer. South: spades, ace, five, four, three, hearts, four, two; diamonds, ace, six, four; clubs, king, five. Mr, Barclay, West: spades, king, jack, nine, seven, six: hearts, queen, eight, seven; diamonds, nine; clubs, queen, nine, eight, four. Mr. Tobin, North: spades, eight; hearts, ace, king, ten, nine, three; diamonds, seven, Ave, two; clubs, seven, six, three, two.

Mrs. Ryan, East: spades, queen, ten, two; hearts, jack, six, five; diamonds, queen, jack, ten, eight, three; clubs, jack, ten. Mrs. Pimm, South, opened the auction with one no trump, preferring it to her alternative bid of one diamond horjiii.se with five sure tricks in her hand, and only four cards in the diamond suit, the one. diamond bid would not have portrayed the strength of her hand adequately.

Mr. Barclay; West, passed. Mr. Tobin, North, said two hearts i a bid that was neither a rescue nor a warning, but merely an indication to his partner that he held a five card suit and strength, for the no trump. In a case like this, the strength may be either in the suit named, as in this instance, or on the side, or in toui places; ana such h.

uju. urges a rebid of the no trump if the no trumper lacks support for the major suit. The fact that North's hand contained a singleton was also an additional argument in favor of the suit bid. After North's two heart call, Mrs. Ryan, East, passed.

I Bid Held Mrs. Pimm, South, delighted with her partner's heart bid, which took care of her only no trump weakness, went to two no trumps, which, held the bid. TO the first trick Mr. Barclay, West, led the 7 of Spades, the fourth best of his longest and strongest suit. Mr.

Tobin spread his hand for Dummy, and Declarer, Mrs. Pimm, played from it the singleton 8 of Spades. Mrs. Ryan. East, knew from the fourth best lead (using the Rule of Eleven) that there were four Spades higher than the 7 which were mot held by her partner.

She saw three of the four the 8 of Spades in Dummy and the Queen and 10 in her own hand so she knew Declarer had the other. Although it was probable that Declarer's one card higher than the 7 was either the Ace or King, there was a chance that it was the Jack; so, to prevent any possibility of the trick being won with a Jack, Mrs. Ryan played her Queen. Mrs. Pimm, the Declarer, could not tell whether the adverse eight Spades were evenly or unevenly divided be tween he two adverse hands; but she decided to hold up her only stopper in the suit in an endeavor to exhaust East, if that hand had less than four.

So to the first trick Mrs. Pimm played the Trey of Spades. To trick two. Mrs. Ryan.

East, returned the Spades, leading the 10. the higher of her two remaining cards of the suit. Mrs. Pimm played the ivcr. Barclay, West, the Jack; and Dummy discarded the Deuce of TliotMAnlff 'r1 Plays' Jack Mrv Barclay played his jack because he was not certain that his partner had another Spade, although he thought it unlikely that Declarer had held ive original! v.

ah with five Spades in her hand and no Heart, strength, she hardly would have bid an initial No Trump. But to make sure that Spades would be continued, Mr. Barclay thought it best to overtake his partner's 10. To the next trick Mr. Barclay led his 6 of Spades, to show his partner that his ourth best was not his lowest; and that he had at least five originally.

Dummy, North, discarded the 5 of Diamonds; Mrs. Ryan, East, played the Deuce of Spades; and Mrs. Pimm, South, won with the Ace. Now in the lead. Declarer could count seven sure tricks.

The Heart suit seemed to offer the best chance of igiving her the two more tricks she rtseded for game. So to trick four, Mrs. Pimm led the 4 of Hearts, intending to play the 9 from Dummy if West played a small Heart. This lead caused Mr. Barclay.

West, to consider carefully, should he make the natural play of one his small Hearts, he was sure Dummy would finesse, and his partner, doubtless holding the Jack, since Declarer, did not lead it, would win the trick. But Mr. Barclay's own Queen would then Thoy UTX. ikc now USED BUT NOT ABUSED That's why our used cars run like new. All are in excellent condition ready for the road.

So Mr. Barclay departed, from the convention "second hand low" and make the unusual second hand play of his Queen of Hearts, In making this play he also took into consideration the probability, as shown by the bidding, that Declarer had only two Hearts. If she had had only a worthless singleton, she would 'hot have bid the initial No If she had had three Hearts, she would have passed her partner's Heart bid. Hearts Return Declarer could not afford to let Mr. Barclay's Queen win, because' he would then cash his two established Spades and save game; therefore she played Dummy's King of Hearts.

East playeed the 5. It looked to Declarer as if Mr. Barclay had held the Queen Jack and another Heart, and had played the Queen to prevent the finesse which would have established Dummy's Hearts, and also as a false card to. induce Declarer to refuse a finesse on the second round of the suit. So Declarer planned to return to her own hand to lead Hearts again through Mr.

Barclay's hand She led Dummy's Deuce of Clubs, East played the 10, Declarer, South, the Ace (a false card) and West the 4. Declarer then led the Deuce of Hearts, West played the 7, Dummy the 9 and East the Jack; This finesse cost Mrs. Pimm a Heart trick because she was unable to put Dummy in again; but it was a play fully justified by the development of the hand. Any other would have been against the probabilities. To trick seven.

East led the Queen of Diamonds; Declarer played the West the Dummy the 7, East continued Diamonds with the Jack; Declarer played the Act; West the 8 of Hearts; Dummy the Trey of Clubs. West's refusal of a Diamond on this trick showed Declarer that the establishment of a long Diamond in her hand was practically hopeless. the effect of a squeeze play sometimes produces weird results, so Mrs. Pimm, determining to fight on to the end for an extra trick, led the 5 of Spades to trick nine, knowing the result could not prove expensive as West had only two Spades left. West played the 9 of Spades; Dummy the 6 of Clubs: East the 6 of Hearts.

West then took his King of Spades, Dummy discarding the Trey of Hearts, East the Trey of Diamonds, and Declarer the 5 of Clubs. To trick eleven. West led the 8 of Clubs, Dummy played the 7, East the Jack and Declarer won with the King. Declarer won the twelfth trick with the King of Diamonds, and was left with a small Diamond which East won on the last trick with the 10. Declarer's contract was set two tricks, giving adversaries 100 points for the penalty, while North and South scored 40 for Aces.

Mr Work, in commenting orr the hand, approved Mrs. Pimm's No Trump bid and rebid. even though it resulted unfortunately. Also her play of the Hearts was sound and to be commended regardless of the result. Of course the star play of the hand was Mr.

Barclay's Queen of Hearts on the first round of that suit. Mr. Work considered that the Contract bidding of this hand would give the dealer an optional opening: of one No Trump or two diamonds, but in eitner case ne cousuwreu 11 that North and South would arrive at three No Trumps; the play in both, games tho same.
