Beasley: The chief feature of this hand is that in each room East and West
were allowed to play it in 2 Spades when in each room North and South can get 2
or 3 Spades. I ought to have supported my partner over Culbertson's 2 Spades,
since such a support is never going to be taken seriously unless my partner
has a huge hand. Failure to do so cost us a few points on balance. \n

Beasley: Gottlieb made a negative double of 2 Spades from Morris which Mrs.
Culbertson rather surprisingly left in. Her judgment, however, proved correct,
although they can get more by playing it in 2 Spades owing to the doubling of
the partial score.\n

Beasley: After my Spade bid and Lightner's double, Mathieson endeavoured to
convey the whole strength of his hand with a call that kept the bidding low for
the moment. Culbertson made a bluff No Trump bid, but that should not have
put us off from bidding the game between us.\n
Perhaps Mathieson might have said 3 Spade over Lightner's 2 Spades, but over
his 2 Spades I ought to have kept the bidding alive. somehow after his
previously expressed desire to play it in a game bid when he redoubled.  \n

Beasley: after Mathieson's pass he quite correctly made the encouraging bid
of 2 No Trumps, as there is no other means of showing how strong his pass was.
I did not fancy No Trumps with my singleton Heart, and had a shot at Spades,
which Mathieson raised to four and we easily made it. \n

Culbertson: Mathieson's unsound opening Spade bid, even though no vulnerable,
is swiftly punished. Something in the 2 1/2 trick contention after all. \n
Beasley: This hand was remarkable for some gross overbidding by Mathieson.
Having stretched himself fully in calling a Spade, which I think he must do, he
must leave alone my 2 Hearts bid. Possibly our missing the game on the
previous hand had something to do with his really bad judgment. \n

Beasley: Gottlieb also showed very poor judgment in rebidding his hand, and
in my view contravened all correct principles in re-bidding such a poor Spade
suit, and on his hand they were lucky not to get into a game contract which
would have been as disastrous as ours.\n

Beasley: The peculiar part of this hand is that in both rooms West made ten
tricks in No Trumps having only contracted for one. In my view, the proper
response to 1 Hearts is 2 Hearts although the hand contains no ruffing values of
any description. \n
At any rate, West must make some more encouraging bid than a negative 1 No
Trump as East cannot possibly rebid his hand after that one. It is quite plain
that everything sits very luckily since North cannot even get in if his Spades
are cleared, and it is any odds against making five Heart tricks on the hand. \n

Culbertson: This hand is of peculiar interest in as much as it provides the
first occasion in this match on which a Grand Slam has been successfully bid
and made by our Team with the help of the new Culbertson 4-5 No Trump
convention. From the very minute that I, with a bid of 4 No Trumps, forced the
information from my Partner that he held the remaining 2 Aces, Grand Slam was assured,
and could be bid with the utmost confidence. \n
Beasley: Here is the perfect example of the efficacy of the four-five No
Trump convention. As soon as Culbertson heard his partner's 5 No Trump there was
not one chance in a thousand of missing the grand slam.  \n

{

Culbertson: The English pair were, unfortunately for them, playing the Two
Club system, and being thus unable to employ the 4-5 No Trump convention could
not with certainty guarantee that they had no losing tricks in the combined
hands. \n
Beasley: Domville's 3 No Trump bid was quite reasonable, although many people
have criticised it. He cannot very well guess his partner with both Ace and
King of Spades, and I think the grand slam should have come from Morris on the
very first bid, \n
as even if his partner lacks the Ace of Hearts, there is a good chance of its
being in North's hand and some other suit being opened which would allow East
to get rid of his Hearts on the Clubs. Admittedly, however, the bid would
have been a bit of a gamble\n

from Mrs. Culbertson. If Gottlieb had had one less Diamond and perhaps some
other kind of strength, such as the Queen of Hearts or Spades, he would almost
certainly have left the 1 No Trump bid in, and missed the most simple game
imaginable.\n

{

Beasley: The chief interest in this hand was in the play of the cards, the
bidding being the same in each room except that Culbertson finished up with a
very poor double which must enable the player to place several cards, as in fact
it did. Culbertson opened the Ace of Diamonds and followed with a little one
after his partner's call with the seven. \n
This Mathieson finessed and Lightner then cleared the suit. Mathieson then
led the Queen of Hearts which Culbertson refused, and then played a small Club
up to his Queen which Culbertson took with the King and played a small club
back again. \n
Mathieson won with the Ace and when the Ten fell on his right could more or
less place Culbertson's hand as 4-4-3-2- and all he should have done then was
to play the Heart from the table and let Culbertson win with the King. He then
has to exit with his last Heart and Mathieson should play Ace and another
Spade, when Culbertson is forced to lead the Club which he can win with the eight
and run off the rest.   \n

Beasley: This hand was also chiefly interesting for the play of the cards.
Culbertson made the nastiest lead possible for Mathieson, and Lightner held off
with his Ace of Trumps, but on winning with it on the second trick, failed to
lead a Heart through hoping to remove the Ace of Spades off the table. \n
Mathieson then played out the trumps and played off his Ace of Clubs, finally
putting Culbertson in with the King of Clubs after he had had to make four
discards, which were three Hearts and a Club, and so Mathieson got the Hearts
lead up to him to get his contract. A very well played hand. \n

Culbertson: Although we made 12 tricks on this hand we should not have done
so against an opening lead of a Diamond. We should have then been bound to lose
the Ace of Diamonds and King of Hearts. \n
Beasley: This was an expensive deal for England. Lightner only opened with 3
Hearts when four looks a better bid, and after profound hesitation he passed
his partner's 5 heart. Had he bid six Mathieson said he had already decided he
was going to lead a Diamond as the best hope of clearing a trick, while he
held a certain trump trick. To defeat five, however, the Club looks a better
opening.\n

Culbertson: A very speculative bid of 7 Hearts met with disaster. \n
Beasley: Domville took one of the worst gambles ever seen as he must have
shivered in his shoes at the thought of six. I think Morris might have bid it
differently, since if he goes 4 No Trumps over the 4 Hearts there is no chance of
the bidding stopping for the moment and Domville now knows that there is a
losing Heart about apart from anything else. Six hearts does seem to suggest
either the King or three little ones.  \n

ought to have gone 3 Hearts on the principle that had he not bid I was always
lifting my partner to two. Mathieson might have bid Diamonds over the Spades to
convey both the strength and the two-suited nature of his hand, but over 4
Spades I certainly ought not to have troubled, since I held four of my partner's
suit. I should have made what they call an inferential pass. \n
