CONTRACT BRIDGE It has been difficult to choose among several interesting hands from the last session of the Bridge Club. Time one se- lected was bid to slam four times and to game at the other four tables. Six of the contracts were in no trump. Strangely, none of the declarers made the slam though correct play will bring it hone. Souttm dealer, East and West Vulnerable.

The club suit being needed in order to win twelve tricks, the problem re- solves itself into establishing dubs with the loss of only one trick. Obviously the suit must be led front the West hand, and played in one of two ways. The king may he played on the first trick, counting on North bottling the ace and the suit breaking two-two. The alternative is to finesse the nine first and return to the 'West hand for the second lead. The odds in favour of the latter plan in comparison with the first are exactly two to one. Eight declarers in better-than-aver- age bridge company all couldn't be that weak on bridge pereeMages. The two who played in. hearts may have suffer- ed an opening club lead and tuff. Pro- bably most of time others used up two of the three entries to the West hant before touching the dub suit, and then foetid themselves marooned on the is land Oiled East. Playing first and planning too late is a chronic bridge trouble. glitgl PIG STARTE R Cuts Feeding Costs—. Assures Bigger Profits Keep little pigs husky and growing by starting them on .
