(David Bruce Burnstone, Merwin D, Maier. Oswald by, . Howard Schenken. world's ‘leading team-of- four, inventors of the system that has aten every other system in existence.) Deception in Dummy Play Nearly al! good players agree that deception, when it takes the form of fancy or psychic bids, does not pay. Experience has shown them that while a psychic will often fool the opponents, the partner will be equally misled. In the play of the dummy, however, it is up to the de- clarer to try every legitimate means at his disposal to deceive his oppo- nents. Deception sometimes con- sists of making a bluff of strength in a suit where none exists. At other times it is wisest to conceal your strength. For example: Both sides vulnerable.

A spade was played to dummy’s queen and the suit returned, South playing the king and West winning it with the ace. At this point it was completely obvious to West that South held the spade jack and thus had nine tricks in plain sight. There was only one possibility left—West played the club ace and then continued the suit and the defense ran off enough club tricks to set the contract. South had played the hand with perfect naivete. He should have won the first trick with dummy’s heart ace, led a spade and played the jack from his hand. This would have left West in some doubt as to who held the kings of both spades and hearts. True, West might still have guessed correctly and shifted to the club, but the situation would not have been quite so obvious, and, after all, it is human to err. * % kX Yesterday Oswald Jacoby was your partner and you held: AK xxX VK xx OK x x SXXX The bidding: Maier You Burnstone Jacoby 2NT Pass 3a Pass 3NT Pass 54 Pass 6NT () Answer—Your correct bid is to pass.

BURGESS. Bobby Coon was strolling along the bank of the Laughing Brook. He was trying to decide whether to go fishing or not. He dearly loves to fish, does Bobby Coon, and he some- times goes fishing when he ought to be attending to other things. Now while Bobby Coon loves to fish, he isn’t like Billy Mink or Little Joe Otter, who spend half their time in the water and catch fish by swim- ming faster than the fish can. Bob- by has a long coat, and he isn't any too fond of getting it wet. He catches fish from the shore. There isn’t anything much quicker than Bobby’s little black paw when he sees a fish within reach. But if Bobby Coon doesn’t like to g0 in swimming he does like to play in and around the water, and so this bright, beautiful morning, as he BO How COME TONY EPINOZA LOOKS $0 BAD, STEVE T T KNow THE LEGS AIN‘T THERE ANY MORE, BUT T THOUGHT, THAT ‘NEW SHORTSTOPS P>\ SPEED WOLLD COVER.

Bobby sat down on the bank to study how he could get his heart’s desire, for 1t seemed to him now that he wanted that shiny thing moresthan anything else in the world. Presently he noticed an old log, half in the water and half on the shore. Bobby’s eyes bright- ened. “If I get out on the end of b Very cautiously he crawled out on the old log. It wasn’t a very big log and it was smooth and very, very slippery. As he got out toward the end of it it began to sink lower and lower in the water. Bebby's feet were wet, but he didn’t mind that. He was right over that shiny thing now.

Up on the bank, Peter Rabbit and Jimmy Skunk and Unc’ Billy Pos- sum shouted and danced and threw up their hats! They had come along just in time to see Bobby Coon crawl out on the old log.

Be- sides, he didn’t know which of the three little scamps on the bank to blame, and he didn’t want to quare rel with all three. So presently he joined in the laugh, too. And then, being in all over, there was nothing to prevent getting that bright, shiny thing.
