TV TEE HEES Congo Stamps Used in Place of Money tin KnoxvHli Htwi-Sanths! today July 7 1 H) Fail F-7 Sheinwold on Bridge Expert Reduces Number of Guesses 5 obtained In Brussels than in Leopoldville CURRENCY WORTHLESS "There are two reasons for thia situation One is that the nearly bankrupt government has learned that it can make little extra money speculating In stamps (or at least some of Its officials have) I So small Issues are the order of the day and the bulk of them is sold to the European dealers at perhaps an increased price as the stamps will be scarce and hard to come by for the ordinary collector Anumber of recent issues have been exhausted the day that they were released and were never add outside of Leopoldville I "The second reason that stamps are hard to get hold of la that so many Europeans are still in Congo trying to hold onto tin modest estate that they accumulated here through the years but they get any of their capital out of the country There is no use in taking out the franc as it is worthless everywhere but here So they sit tight while their families in Europe are often in real need of them have struck upon the idea of sending out stamps They figure that the itampa have an i i a i value In fact we see the curious situation of Congo itampa being of more dependable value than Congo currency! So they send their families stamps and these in turn sell them for good money I was over in Tshim-bulu the other day looking for stamp I learned that the Portuguese trader who is just about the only white man left in town had bought up all hands They were the victims of duplication of diitributinn That is they had the same number of cards in each hand in diamond! and dubs Just suppose North had three small diamonds and the K-J of clubs Hia hand would look ho stronger but South would have a very fine play for four hearta instead of a very poor play Even aa the hand was South was far from dead The opponents failed to take their three dub tricks on the run and South had the chance to organize a throw-in STRIPS HAND South stripped the hand by drawing two rounds of trumps and cashing his second high diamond Then he led a club and dared the opponents to beat him East won the third round of dubs and led the deuce of spades presenting South with a guess Should he play tha ten or the queen of spades from hia hand? Many average players would consider this a problem that calls for much stroking of the chin or puffing at a pipe An expert South knows that there is no guesa at all The ten of spades is the only correct play The important point la that the opponents are not completely out of their minds One of them has the king of spades and will do whatever he can to avoid having to lead away from his king The other opponent does not have the king of spades and will try to lead spades for hia partner if he can safely do so If East had the king of spades he would try to avoid winning the' third round of cluba Moreover West would be trying to win the third club in order to lead a spade through ace But this happen East won the third chib and East had to lead a spade Therefore East does not have the king of spades- only chance ia to play the ten of spades in the hope that East does have the jack -of spades- Aa It happens this play works South traps the king of spades and makes his game and rubber For ShaimaoW'i gaga ttookltf "A Fackaf GuMt to Iridga" ognd canto to Brldg Book Tha Knexvlll Nawt-Santtnal In Mil Grand Control Station Now York 17 By ALFRED SHE1NWOLD Many bridge situations are considered guesses The average player who guesses right just about half of the time shrugs off his unsuccessful guesses with the thought that the element of guesswork adds to the excitement and charm of the game The expert ia alive to excitement and charm but he finds it unnecessary to guess wrong as often as half the time The expert ia right about three times out of four perhaps even more Take the case of leading from x-x in your own hand -toward K-J You must guess whether to play the king or the jack from dummy Many average players rub their china sagely in this situation but always play jack on the theory that they should break even in the long run if they always do the same thing CHECK BIDDING The expert checks the bidding in his mind before he plays from dummy What sort of hand would eaich opponent hold if he had that missing ace? Would an pass then become unlikely? Or would an bid become outlandish? If either opponent might hold the missing ace without doing violence to the bidding he expert considers the timing of the play How quickly and smoothly did the second player follow suit when the low card was led toward K-J? There ia a normal ipeed at which you play a card when you have no Interest in a suit The speed may be slightly different when you have the queen different again if you hold the ace An expert opponent can measure hundredths of a second and tell which kind of speed you are using Or at least a player has to be right far more often than not at tills sort of measurement if he is to be considered an expert by other fine players WORKS IN REVERSE The principle just stated works in reverse as well A player must guess right pretty often to be considered an expert and a player who does succeed in guessing right often enough is entitled to be thought well of It an accident when a player consistently cornea up with the right guess To put it another way he guessing thinking NORTH A 6 4 A 10 7 I AS 62 WEST EAST A K7J A 8 1 5 2 5 4 10 9874 06592 4KJ7 3 4 A 10 SOUTH 4 10 9KQJ9I6 A 4 9 5 4 Wait Nerih Eart Pm 3 Pam All Pim Opening lead OK censure North-South for getting to four hearts with four loaera In the combined ATTENTION!
