HARSH PUNISHMENT

It must be admitted that some "punishments" at bridge are decidedly too cruel for the nature of the "crime." For example, ob- serve South"; punishment in this can;

”i: can't do it," he whimpered. "I can't do it even if I try." i

He tried twisting and turning? Oh. how it iiui-ti But the bonef had broken. He didn't know this, because of course a Muskrat doesn't know anything about such mattersi But he did know that something! had happened. He hit at the trsp,l lxshich of course was useless. Inl biting at the wicked steel jawsi holding him to tightly he hit his.- own leg just above the trap andl close to it. Perhaps that dldn't' ihurt any more than the steel jawsi iwcre hurting already.

Pass Pass

This bidding, and of course thg outcome, provided a group of ex- perts with a topic of great interest.

It was generally agreed um: South had a difficult decision over East": five diamonds -- whether to double and take it sure though possibly small penalty; or to bid iive spadrs in the hope of a great- er reward. It was also agreed that in view of North's opening Club bid, in which suit South had three cards, and north's subsequent free raise of spades, South's decision to outbid the diamonds was not il- logical. This left only South's ra- double open to criticism. Surely, however, even though that action was aggressive. no one in South's position could have anticipated such a calamity as followed:

West opened the heart ace, and, on sight of the dummy, shifted to his top club. East took the queen and ace and then led the club deuce, West ruffed for the fourth trick, and the spade ace raised the penalty to 1000 points.

To repeat, South's redouble wu aggressive, but it is only fair to observe that North's hand was sub- stantially less valuable than south had the right to expect. By no

stretch of the imagination could .

South anticipate going down three tricks. even at. the five-level. after his partner had opened the bidding with a club and later freely raised the spade suit. .
