Contract Bridge

By Josephine Culbertson el c TWO FLAWS

The first thing wrong in today's deal was North-South's contract; the second flaw was in the. pla

Southdesler. Both sides vulncr. '_. ‘I I653 Qliqiossz gas: §KJ85 gqosa 2 N Qqior: 0104 w E ‘K7 0868 S @765 SQ! g/iios QAKS QJS QAKJIOS ‘ihebidding: South West North East I‘ Pass 1Q Pa," 3N1‘ Pass Pass Pass

South could not be greatly blamed for jumping straight to three no- trump over North's one-diamond response, because the honor-tricks and potential winners in the South hand made game at notrump 100K pretty attractive.

It is extremely doubtful, however, that North should have been sat- isfied with three notrump as the final contract. True, he was ready: to‘ lay down more than he had guaranteed in his

he might have considered the possibility thnt a better contrnrz would be in the diamond suit it- self. A fine player (which South was) does not. often jump in noi- rump without at least two cards (usually including an honor) in partner's suit: therefore, Norm had no reason to fear that South

would turn up with s worthless.

singleton in diamonds. Actually. n diamond slam would have been r. sound venture. even though North might have lost two tricks as inc cards lay.

West opened his fourth-highest spade against three notrump and it did South no good to hold up the ace. Having taken that card on the third round, he crushed the club rice hilt then led a diamond (lirectly to the ace and tried the club finesse. West won and rnn the spade suit.

A better line of play at this in- icrior contract was to cash both top clubs. on the fair chance that the queen ivould fall. Actually, it would have fallen: but if this break did not develop South could still fall back on the diamond s-iit. The attempt to drop the club qunen rravn him two chances for the con- tract.

“I'm glad he ate every one of them." declared Mrs. Peter.

"I think if he likes to live “LN

way that's his business. I dorﬂt want to. But what are you so excited about? He has done it

;ei'ery year since we have known fhim, so why shouldn't he this year? His going to bed is no news. If ht- had decided not to go to bed that would be news,” retorted little Mrs. Peter.

"He told ms something that. is news. something you don't know and I didn't know until he told ime." declared Peter.

"Do tell." said Mrs. Peter with- .out interest.

, "Mr. and Mrs. Blaeksnake have- ?n't had any children this year, not one!" cried Peter.

.\irs. Peter did prick up her eals then. “How does he know?" she demanded. It was plain that she had doubts about the matter.

"I-Ic ate them." said Peter.

"Who ate whom?" cried Peter.

Peter chudrled at the expression on Mrs. Peter's face. ‘Striped Chip- munk." said he. "Ho didn't exactly Pat Mrs. Blacksnske babies but he did ent her eggs, all of them. and that amounts to the some thing. You knew. of course, that Mrs. Blacksnuke lays eggs." -

Mrs. Peter said she knew that and Peter continued. “This year she hid them under a flat stone by the old wall where Striped Chipmunk Ill/BS. He saw her leav- ing the place and when she was out of sight he peeked under the stone and found the eggs. He ate all'ot them. S0 there are no young Blncksnukes in this neighborhood this fnll. But Mrs. Blncksnake doesn't know it, so I suppose there is no need to feel sorry for her. Still I do think Striped Chipmunk might have left one or two eggs to hatch. Don't you?"

"No. I don't I'm glad he ste every one o! them." declared Mrs. Peter.

She spoke so postlveiy that Peter looked at her in a surprise. "What does it matter to you?" he asked mildly.

"It means for every egg he ate iI will have one less worry in the future." declared Mrs. Peter. Then she added, "But you wouldn't know anything about that. never having anything to do with our babies when they are litt.ie and helpless. You've never fought a big Blacksnake to save your babies. I have. If you ask me it is a good thing that striped Chipmunk rite all those eggs. There could be sucn a thing as too many oif the Snake ‘folk for the good of a lot of other ifolks. 'I‘here would be. if all the ir-ggs hatched aha all the baby ‘Snakes grew up. I guws old Mother lNrituro knew what she was about. when she gave Striped Chipmunk a taste for eggs."

"He ate the eggs of birds too when he finds them." said Peter.

"What of it? Birds can lay more eggs and a lot of them do accord- ing to what I have heard. Black- SIlLIkIES cnt eggs and young birds too. So I am glad there will not be n lot. more of them around here next year. Enough is enough. Too many is too much," declared Mrs. Peter.

"I suppose there could be too many Rabbits," said Peter thought- fully.

"Who says so?" snapped Mrs. Peter. Perhaps she knew that Peter “'11-! Tlilht. There could be and there has been at times in some places.
