McKENNEY Seorgtary, American Bridge League Don't carelessly play any card in your hand. Try to make every card, convey a message to your partner. When you have a high card and you! think it advisable for your partner to know this, echo with a high card. Don't get into the habit of false- carding without anything behind it. There are times, however, when a; clever false-card will win a hand for, you by a big swing. A clever false-| card move was made in today’s hand| by Fred Ohrt of Buffalo, playing in| the recent Buffalo city championship] tournament.

Pass Pass 49 Pass 6 the first round and his natural re-, |sponse is no trump. However, as soon | as South showed a five-card heart) suit, North's strength now was suf- ficient to take the strain off the hand by jumping to four. Today’s Contract Problem South opened the contract- ing with one club, North bid hearts, South bid diamonds, and they finally arrived at a seven diamond — contract Should East double, holding the following hand? 4KQI3 9Q107 o51052 aK7 Solution in next issue. 6 The Play West cashed the king of diamonds, | which held, Mr. Ohrt, in the East,) Playing the encouraging nine spot.) West, therefore, continued with the) ace of diamonds and then the jack} of diamonds, which Mr. Ohrt wonj with the queen. He returned a small spade and South, the declarer, won the trick j with the ace. He already had lost | three clubs and knew that, if the ; Spade suit broke, he would not have |to take the club finesse. His only hope was not to lose a trump trick. Therefore, he played the ace of hearts. The careless East player would} Play the ten of hearts, and South naturally would continue with the king of hearts and pick up the out- {standing trump. But Mr. Ohrt real- ized that the declarer was up against a tough guess, and so he false-carded and played his queen. This made it look as though West. held four hearts to the ten spot ori- ginally. Therefore, the declarer play- ed a small heart, West played the six, and you cannot blame the declarer for finessing the nine, tryipg to make his contract. Of course, Mr. Ohrt won the trick with the ten of hearts, thus defeat- ing the de@arer’s contract one trick. (Copyright, 1934, NEA Service, Inc.) Deportation Order Issued for ‘Prince’ Vermilion, S.
