Mr. Barnes’ method ® ia to listen carsgully to the bidding and then decide whether his side or the opponents’ hold the bal- ance of power. If, in his judgment, the opponents’ bidding indicates that they are not over-strong, he may then step in and make an apparently wild gambling bid. In these in- stances, however, Mr. Barnes usually exercises excellent judgment, the hand below being a typical example. ‘West, dealer, North-South vulnerable. aQT4 YK352 .6 A4AK943 *J5 4 AKS v963 *Q84 4Q1072 Mr, Barnes, The bidding: West, North 1% Pass(1) Pass 243) Pass 3NT Pass Dbl.(5) Pass Pass Pass(6) 1.

FLINT. ‘HE professor has always said that figures will fool you if you aren't careful, Oh! Boy! ain't it the truth? As & matter of fact, a young friend of the professor's was called into his employer's office the other day and notified that the employer had in- tended giving him a commission on a large sale which he had made, but instead had decided to divide his sal- ary by one-half. The young fellow felt rightfully indignant, knowing that he had done good work, and protested that his salary was only $20 a week anyway and that he couldn't get along on 10. The employer said, *'Oh, there's & misunderstanding.” The young fel- low held a half-dollar in his hand and looked puzzled. He mumbled, “Half a dollar divided by one-half is 25 cents, half a dollar divided by two is 25 cents. Very fuhny—oh, I seel” ‘What did he discover? diamonds, East winning with the king and returning the jack. Mr. Barnes rightly figured that West's opening bid and subsequent double | N had marked him with the ace of diamonds, and he refused to cover, thus blocking the suit. When Mr. Barnes gbtained the lead he boldly led up to the king of hearts, and when that held, spread his hand, claiming his doubled contract. (Copyright, 1937.)
