contract Bridge

By Josephine Culbertson Q tttmtioogoiooectuououoamc-nan; THE DOUBLE SQUEEZE

A correspondent. writes that he and his friends would like a simple for as simple as possiblel) explana- tion of a double squeeze play. We are glad to oblige -- as follows:

South reaches a contract of three notrump, with no Upposing bidding. Bell! suppose he is playing duplic- ate. so that whatever overtricks he can make will carry special im- portance.

West. (lth the simple aim or not losing a kick on his opening lead. selects the diamond nine. East takes his ace and leads back a diamond. How should South pro- ceed? Remember, he wants to make not only his contract. but as many iiicks as he can.

Certainly. South must iinesse spades sooner or later -- so Why not immediately? He leads to du- my'.s jack. When that card wins, the iinese is not established -- East might be holding off with the king -- but Sl')lll.h will soon find out the truth. Meanwhile. lie is in dummy. so he might. as well test .the club situation. He leads a club in the jack, and that holds. Now llC repeats his finesse in spades, and when East plays the ten on the queen. South knows that the king was i-rally in Wests hand.

Perhaps East was Liaise-Cardin;

, when hr dropped the spade icn --

maybe the suit will break 3-3. South lays down the ace, but East discards a heart. Well, perhaps the clubs will split 3-3. South cashcs the ace and king, but now

Should South simply collect "lie ilianioiid and hcart tricks and er... ll a day? No! With West forced to hold a high spade, and East, a high club. South has a sure doubic V-queczc. He simply cashes the dia- monds. and watches closely. When he lziys down the last diamond, West must kccp his spade. and so nan kccp only two lioarts. There- upon, South throws off clummy.s 9-padc. Now it is East's iurn. Ho nuist hold the high club aiifllilst South's low mic -- so East too must ielinquish one of his three remain- ing hcz-iris. South lays down the heart king. lends the heart six In the arc. and claims the iwclflh .,;ck with the lowly but perfectly mod fnii: hearts.

doesn't like owls. About the only one in the Grecii Forest and all the Green Meadows that lie is really zifriiid of a Hooty the Great llorncd Owl, biggest iii the family. Hooty is lord of Skunks. but it imlt the i-iglit kind of fondness. Anyway, Jinuny and his friends think it isn't. llooty likcs them for dinner when he is hungry. He doesn't hositziic to catch one when llC can. He has nu sense of smell. Anyway it Seems that way.

Just at this time of year Jimmy wasn't wanted around home. At least he felt that he wasn't. It was too crowded for his comfort. He doesn't like to be crowded. After all, cight children the same age, and growing. do take a lot of room. So Jintmy Skunk had taken to nanderinz about. sleeping in any hole or other dark place he might be near rtt daylight. Sometimes he even stayed up after daylight. Sometimes he came out in the late afternoon just before the Black Shadows arrived. He had nothing special on his mind but filling of his stomach when he was hungry.

Jimmy had spent the day sleep-

ing in an old house of Johnny ihuck's not far from the edge of the Old Piistiirc. He had awakened early. in fact it. was only the mid die of the afternoon. He poked his head ouisidc the door. Should he go out, or should he 2.0 hack and have anotiicr nap? lie was of two minds. One of them said. ”Go on out." The other said, "lt is too early, wait. until dark." Bob White settled it. He was sitting on a fence post at the edge of the Old Pasture. He was whistling. "Bob. Bob White it was a clicr-rfiil sound. Jimmy cocked a black car to listen. It reminded him of something. but just what it was lie didn't know He just had a fccliiig tEi.'it it was soiiieihiii-g he should rcmenibcr.
