Beasley: This was an interesting deal, and it is questionable whether West
should not have called 2 No Trumps over the 1 Spade. But if North refrains from
opening his partner's suit, as he might very well do on a 2 No Trump bid, then
West cannot make game. \n

Culbertson: An opening of Club 2 is better.\n
Beasley:  Lightner's 3 No Trump bid was a rather speculative but highly
successful affair. If one was going to speculate on the hand 4 Spades would seem
the better chance, and as a matter of fact that, too, can be made. \n

Beasley: My 1 No Trump bid was perhaps rather misleading, having fairly
adequate Spade support and a fair suit of Diamonds beside, especially since 2
Diamonds makes it always more difficult for the opposition. However, it seems as if
Domville had some kind of a rebid on such a strong hand, in which case they
will probably get to 4 Spades, which is just makeable as the cards lie, though
the hand plays very luckily. \n

Culbertson: Lightner should bid 6 Spades. It is remarkable that in Closed
Room their opponents did not have even an inkling of the possible Slam.\n
Beasley: Culbertson made a shaded forcing bid of 2 Spade, shaded only in so
far as he lacked the specified 3 quick-tricks, for in playing strength the hand
is immense. But from the moment he had made it he seemed afraid of it, and in
spite of some exceedingly bright bidding by Lightner, they failed to bid a
lay down little slam. \n

Culbertson: A dangerous and probably useless vulnerable psychic 1 No Trump by
Culbertson.\n
Beasley: Domville kept the bidding low on the first round, knowing he would
hear some more on a 1 Spade bid, but I am afraid I failed to show the value of
my hand in my bid of 2 Hearts (it was too good for just a minimum rebid of the
suit) and we also failed to reach the slam.\n

{

Beasley: North and. South apparently missed an easy game in Spades, but the
bidding ot it is not an easy matter. Perhaps Morris might have stretched a
point and. said. 2 Spades on his powerful distribution, but he might quite easily
have ran into a nightmare ot a non-fitter since he only had a singleton of his
partner's suit.\n
The only other solution is that Tabbush should volunteer rather a light 2
Spades bid, or perhaps a rebid of Hearts, but with both sides vulnerable any bid
in his position is extremely difficult.  \n

Culbertson: Lightner should bid 4 Hearts. He knows first that West must have
strong Clubs to venture a bid of 3 No Trumps vulnerable after East's sign-off
bid of 3 Clubs. Besides, on the bidding, West is obviously strong enough to
bid 5 Clubs, if Hearts are not satisfactory.\n
Beasley: Culbertson elected to open with 1 Spades. but had he chosen the
other course, which was to open with 1 Clubs, the Americans might have arrived at
the 5 Clubs contract, which was, of course, undefeatable. \n

Beasley: Domville opened with the better bid of 1 Clubs and later in the
bidding made a pass that was almost one of those "forcing" passes we read about
but seldom see. The Americans made the sacrifice bid, however, and there was
nothing left to do but double them. \n

M. SChwab's Trophy.)\n
Beasley: Lightner opened the bidding 3rd in hand with a bold vulnerable 1
Spades, and the 4 Spades contract is obviously unbeatable. He was, in a way,
lucky to find his partner with such a strong pass and one that fitted so well. \n

Beasley: I passed on this hand-and I doubt if anyone will challenge this. It
is a question of what one fancies for the moment-and the Americans were
allowed to make a partial score of 2 Hearts, which in this match counted double
