North had is High card Points sufficient to make a slam try Over a one no Trump opening. With a balanced hand he had the ingredients for a quantitative raise beyond game to four no Trump. Holding a four card major however he attempted to probe for a suit tract first by bidding two clubs. When South showed his Spade suit North s rebid of three diamonds became a slam try it had been his desire merely to reach Fame he could have proceeded without further ado to four Spades. South bid three hearts showing his second major and North s jump to four Spades now confirmed the fit altho a bid of three might have been adequate Inas much As he has already made one Forward move and several of his Points consisted of Queens and jacks. Sooth s values were All top drawer and be could hardly be restrained from proceed ing to six Spades. Observe that if bad the King of hearts or even the Jack the slam would be a Strong favorite to make. West opened the three of clubs which was covered in turn by the ten Jack and King. The Ace of Spades was cashed followed by a Small Spade to the Queen. When East showed out discarding a heart prospects dimmed considerably for there was an apparent heart loser As Well As the to mention locating the Queen of diamonds. Declarer could play three rounds of clubs to discard a Diamond and then attempt to Ruff out the Queen but this might not succeed if one potent held four diamonds to the there was still the matter of the heart King. Altro it was a distinct Long shot South finally resolved to guess the location of the Diamond Honor strip out the and ultimately throw West in to Lead a heart. The closed hand was reentered with the King of diamonds and a Small Diamond was re turned to the ten. When this held the first hurdle was surmounted. A Spade to the King left Only the Jack standing and another Dia mond brought Forth the Queen which was covered by the Ace. The Ace and Queen of clubs stripped out that suit and South discarded a heart As both opponents followed. The Long Diamond was led. South threw another heart and West disposed of his remain ing club since be was not anxious to obtain the Lead. A Trump was led putting West in with the Jack and inasmuch As he was Down to the King Deuce of hearts he returned his Small card. South had to guess which Honor to play his opponent for and he did net have much to go on. He finally decided that if West held the Jack of hearts he might have been less reluctant to Trump the fourth Diamond to play the heart a trick earlier. While this line of reasoning is hardly conclusive it did influence South to put up the Queen of hearts from Dummy and thereby land his Only the one Spade trick. History today1 leap year massacre had romantic aftermath by Bob Bowman even though leap year happens1 Only every fourth year there is no Lack of history for feb. 29, in fact one of the events was so important that historian j. L. Rutledge in Century of conflict says that it spelled the doom of French Power in North America. The incident was a French Indian attack on mass., feb. 29, 1704. It was ordered by governor Vaudreuil and was led by Hertel de Rouville son of Francois Hertel who had Mas sacred the residents of Salmont Falls Maine some years previously. De Rouville was accompanied by four of his Brothers 50 French soldiers and 200 Abenaki indians who had been converted to christianity at the Mission at Caughnawaga. This Force made its Way from Montreal to Deerfield 300 Miles in bitter Winter weather. The men walked on Snow shoes and dragged their supplies sleds. The attack was made just before Dawn feb. 29 and Deerfield was burned to the ground in a few hours. Forty eight people were killed and 111 men women and children were taken As prison ers and made to walk to Montreal. Stragglers were killed along the Way. One of them was the wife of Rev. John Williams. She had Given birth to a child just a week before the massacre. Yet the indians also showed great kindness to some of the captives. One of them hauled the Williams four year old son on a sled. Another in Dian carried the Williams seven year old Daugh Ter on his Back and took her to the Caughnawaga Mission when they arrived. Years later they were married and Eunice was Happy to continue her life with the indians although she visited her family at Deerfield. But Deerfield and other Canadian raids on the British settlers led to the French being driven from North America 60 years later.
