B—18 Winning Contract BY THE FOUR ACES. The Finest Bid. JAY BECKER. the former Philadelphian who has played with the Aces in ® many of their victories, re- cently made what we consider about the finest bid of the year. It was a ticklish situation with both sides vul- nerable and East and West holding & part score. Here is the hand: North, dealer. Both sides vulnerable. East-West 40 on score. ‘The bidding: North.

FLINT, 0 IM, T BOUGHT THE CUTEST STOCKS A% g) TODAY- Now is the time for all good Twiz- elers to dive into the stock market. We provide the wherewithal to have fun figuring out investments. Joe, Jim and Jake bought shares of stock. Their wives, June, Jean and Joan (not respectively) also bought shares. Each paid the same number of dollars per share as the number of shares purchased. Joe paid $11 per share more than Jane did and Jim paid $23 more per share than Jean did, Each husband paid $63 more than his wife. How many shares did each buy and ¥ho was married to whom? South, that player bid three no-trump, but West, afraid that the contract would be made, overcalled with four hearts. At this point Mr. Becker bid five clubs and, following two passes, West staunchly defended at five hearts. Mr. Becker passed, and East returned to five spades, which South doubled. When West passed, Mr. Becker considered the situation. In view of his partner's jump raise in clubs, he knew it was impossible to win a club trick against spades. Hence, all he held defensively was the ace of dia- monds. It, therefore, seemed to him that the opponents would not be down more than one trick and quite pos- sibly might even make their contract. He then considered the other angle. While most players would have either passed the double or bid six clubs, Mr. Becker was sure the latter con- tract was hopeless. However, in no- trump he could count eight club tricks and his ace of diamonds. His part- ner’s three no-trump bid had shown a spade stopper for the tenth trick, and {if, in addition, he held either the ace, or a heart stopper and the king of diamonds, five no-trump could be made. (Remember, West had bid four hearts over three no-trump. Hence, he could not hold a solid suit.) In addition, Mr. Becker was certain his partner would not play the dangerous contract of five no- trump with hearts unstopped. On this reason, all ot which con- sumed no little time, Mr. Becker bid five no-trump, and when West dou- bled, that became the final contract. As Mr. Becker had foreseen, there were exactly 11 tricks to be made, and the score of five-no-trump dou- bled, plus game and rubber which accrued to his side, was well deserved. (Copyright, 1937.)
