Roths deft endgame saves national bridge bid
Oswald Jacoby recalls Alvin Roth’s reading of the cards in a key endgame from last year’s national championship as West’s hand shape allows Roth to force the contract. Roth deduces West holds five clubs and four diamonds and, by finessing, drops the singleton king of diamonds to secure an overtrick. In other news, New York Central Railroad reports a six month loss of 6.7 million in 1954 with June net income of 385,500 on revenues of 63.4 million.
