Culbertson: East has a good response to West's vulnerable double. The
inference conveyed by the double is that West holds the Spade suit. After West's
strong bidding East contracts of course for game. \n
Beasley: After the double of 1 Hearts by Culbertson, I think I should have
made it more difficult for them by bidding 2 Hearts. a bid which could not be
misread by my partner. Had I done so they might never have reached 4 Spades. \n

{

Culbertson: A good interference bid by Mrs. Culbertson should not have
prevented Morris from going to game after his partner's free bid of 2 spades.\n
Beasley: Morris, after doubling a Heart, was most unusually backward. He
seemed to forget altogether that his partner volunteered a bid on his own, and
under the circumstances Tabbush was technically right in not going the fourth
Spade, since it was quite conceivable that his partner had only three. I think he
might have chanced it, but the blame must rest with Morris. \n

Culbertson: West's bold bid and subsequent raise to game are justified by the
result. \n
Beasley: Domville seems to have enough strength to open the bidding, but
unless he bids comic there is very little he can do, as one No Trump vulnerable
would be off the map. He passed and the Americans bid up to 3 No Trumps, which
could have been broken if at trick three Domville had led a Diamond instead of
the King of Spades, when I should have had to pass the subsequent Heart bid. \n

call. A double by West (non-vu!) is a better bid than 1 Spade and would

correct.\n

Culbertson: A close question between 3 No Trumps and 4 Hearts and the latter

seems an unwarrantable gamble to let the hand be played in No Trumps when
Hearts have been supported, but it did not cost him anything.\n

Beasley: Domville opened with a light but correct bid of 1 Spades, but after
Culbertson's 1 Spade I should have bid 3 Hearts, on the principle that had
Culbertson not bid I was always going to bid 2 Hearts. Whether Domville could
ever have bid the fourth is a matter for speculation, but there is no doubt that
I should have bid the three if only to prevent Lightner showing Spades. \n

Culbertson: Mrs. Culbertson also only bid 2 Hearts which allowed Morris and
Tabbush to play the hand in 3 Spades which Tabbush was unlucky to miss. \n
Beasley: Much the same point arises as on the previous hand. Domvilles
overbid of 1 Hearts I knew must be equivalent to an opening original bid since he
was vulnerable, and again I think I should have supported him to 3 Hearts over
Culbertson's 1 Spades. It was very difficult for him to rebid, though with his
peculiar distribution he might perhaps have chanced a third, since my
vulnerable lift is bound to be a fairly good one, and might easily be void of Clubs.  \n

Culbertson: Over Lightner's 2 Spade bid Domville should have bid 3 Hearts.
With a distribution of this type, he is not risking his neck and the hand is
little use in defense. He has no guarantee that the bidding will be dropped if he
passes. If the opponents have a game bid they will make it en tous cas. The
hand is full of promise on his partner's support.\n
Beasley: Mrs. Culbertson also supported her partner to only 2 Hearts but
Gottlieb rebid his hand with the obvious successful result. \n

Beasley: Morris made the much brighter bid of 2 No Trumps on the second

Beasley: This deal rather fully illustrates the different attitude to bidding
problems adopted by two different personalities. Culbertson never supported
his partner's Spades, presumably on his absence of ruffing values, and they
played it in 3 No Trumps, where Morris and Tabbush in the other room played it in
the equally correct contract of 4 Spades. Neither went wrong. \n

{

Culbertson: Mr. Tabbush playing a contract of 4 Spades managed to make an
extra trick by a very fine piece of squeeze play. At tricks 9 and 10 he led the
ace of Spades followed by the 9 of Spades, and Mr. Gottlieb, sitting South, was
forced to let go either his guard in Clubs or throw his master.\n
