Jacoby on Bridge Finesse Play Springs Trap
Oswald Jacoby describes a two table bridge match where one declarer went down in four spades while another faced a clever trap by Dick Freeman. The piece details finesse decisions, card reads, and an East-West mislead that altered the outcome, followed by a local injury report: Harry Ellsworth Beaver of Mt. Airy injured in a car crash at Washington Boulevard and Fort Meade road, admitted to St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore.
