He therefore should pull in 1 raise and bid only 3 Spades. A part score would have been saved. It is interesting that the same psychic bid of 1 Spade was made in Closed Room by Morris and the same error in raising was made by Tabbush. Beasley leads Ace of Diamonds instead of conventional King of Diamonds, probably with a vague hope of fooling opponents.|pg||nt|Such a type of false lead fools partner only. }|pg||nt||pg||

Morris thus made a cheap trick with his Ten. He could then clear the trumps and establish his Diamonds}|pg||nt||pg||

I am not sure whether an original bid from North of 1 Club would not be better than a Club bid. Certainly 4 Spades can be made. It is always best to bid the higher ranking suit when two suits are of equal length and the honour strength is practically the same. }|pg||nt||pg||

A poor double justly punished.|pg||nt|Beasley: It is an old rule in Contract Bridge that a non-game call in a minor suit must not be doubled if it will give the opponents a game unless the double is exceptionally strong. Morris forgot this, apparently, and doubled 4 Clubs The result was 410 points on balance to the Americans.|pg||nt|It is possible that his partner's 2 Club bid over 2 Hearts misled him to some extent. I think, too, that he was unwise in doubling 3 No Trumps, for with the opposition having bid and supported each other in Clubs it was fairly plain that they had an escape bid. Had Morris kept quiet the opposition might have been in serious trouble.

West vulnerable, has no re-bid and East is afraid to force, even though he passed, for fear of finding Partner with Spades and Clubs, in which case it will probably end in disaster.
