This type of bid is very useful if the opposi- tion is vulnerable and if their strength is divided between the two hands. South looked again at his heart suit and decided his side should have the bid. North's raise to game is excel- lent as he has two outside aces and a possible club ruff for partner. The club king is led, East overtaking and returning the suit showing a doubleton. West wins the second club and leads his knave at trick three. South, a keen player, recognizes the doubleton in East and sees ° a definite loser in diamonds later on. A ruff on the board would only be overruffed by East at trick three whereas th low diamond rids his hands of a potential loser. The general term for this play is Loser-on- Loser and. this example is a specialized form called the transferred ruff as South is transferring a potential loser to a later ruffing situation. Mrs .Len Ibey welcomed the many guests calling during the afternoon. Mrs. Herb Lif presided at the coffee urn while Mrs.Seppala, Mrs. Hattie Yandon and Mrs.Prinselaar served lunch.
