Two very, very tired and very, very frightened little people were looking for a safe place in which to spend the night. They were little people of the day. afraid to be out at night. just as some little people of the night are afraid to be out during the day. They were Yap Yap the Prairie Dog and Mrs. Yap Yap, homeless Wanderers hurrying somewhere but. not. knowing where.

SLAM CONVENTIONS

Many supposedly fine players think they can do very well with- out such devices. but deals like today's prove that their self-con- fidence is not. always Justified!

since North-South were not using a slam convention. there was rio real obligation for Scruth

to bid over four notrump. Which became merely a strong invita-

Of coursemvitnan be argued with considerable logic that South should have elected to make an-

North, with a maximum of One ace, must. have quite a. hand to give such a vehement slam try! But. in the final analysis. the fault was really the partnership's for not using a conventional four notrvmp bid. Surely, with South opening the bidding, North could immediately see the chance for at least a snail slam. arid it should have been he. not south. who dttermined the final con- tract after learning about South's ace-holding.

Dispensing with a sound four- notrump convention raise- this great. psychological difficulty: , one partner. who has considerable strength in kings and queens. but fears that the artnership lacks er partner. who may be well supplied with the highest-ranking cards. may never- theless take s pessimistic view because of his total lack of "fill- ers.’ That, obviously enough. was the situation in this case.

"Perhaps we will find a place we can crawl into." said Yap Yap. "I'm sure we will," he added. He
