NOHTB AMEHICANS LEAD 1V ITH ONE SESSION TG GO

Thx"ee consistently good sessions have kept Eric KokiSh and Petex' Nagy<, young stax's fx'oxnMontreal~ CalLBda~ in the lead throughout the fGNI of the Open Pairs. With this afternoon s 30deals to go, they have a 23.-point lead on the field of 40 experts from ail over the world. Top ona board in the final is 19. The contest is an excenentone every paix' wQl have played athree-board set against every other pair by the end of today's session.

In the Ladies Pairs, the top two paiirs exchanged positions from the second to the thirdsession. Betty Ann Kennedy and Carol Sanders, who were Venice Cup winners in both 19Nand 1976, moved to the front, tak ng a 16 I/2-poilnt lead over Axnex'kcans Judi Hadin and KathieWei The conditions of contest ior the ladies event are the same as fox the Open Pairs

Throughout the quahog rounds the Brazilian pair of Gabriel Chagas and Pedro PauloAssumpcao was up there with the leadex s all the way, ending the six sessions in first place.They had a bad first session. in the fiLnal, and although they have fought their way back to the'middle of the standings, they are effectively out of the race for the title.

But Brazil isn't out of the race not by a long shot I The other Brazilian pair, MarceloBranco and Gabino Cintra, also had their.third straight good session, and as. a result they arethe only pair within less than 50 poi@s of the front-running Canadians. Branco and Cintra, whowere members of Brazil's world champion Team Glyxnpiad squad at Monte Carlo in 1976, havea 35 l/2-point lead on the third-place pair of Hoger Bates and John Mohan, the top U. S. pair.

In the Ladies Paixs, three other twosomes have a reasonable chance of overtaking theleaders. Mari.sa O'Andrea and Luciana Capodanno of Italy were one board behind Hadin-Wei,and right on their heels were Americans Jacqui Mitchell and Gail Moss as well as France' sClaude Blououit and Elizabeth Delox,

The defending champions in the Open Pairs, Bob Hamman and Bobby Wolff, were standing;., eighth, but they were more than four boaxds behind the leaders an almost impossible margin

to overcome in one session.. Hixi Markus, defending Women's Pairs champion and two-timewinner of the event, apparently will not win this time she and partner ¹kki Gardener ofGreat Britain are almost 200 points off the leaders' pace.

West's stxange-looking 2Cbid was a weaktwo-bid in one of the majoxs. East, not interestediin garne, bid 2V~ in case that waa Van Gppen's suit,It wasn' t, so Van Gppen bid 24. That broughtMulder to life he jumped to garne, And that' swhenthe Canadians cameinto the bidding. 4 NT by Kokish was a general takeout,and Nagy

naturallybid hia club suit. This was douMed, but Kokish went to diamonds, indicatingtoPeter that he had a good diamondsuit and a good tolerancefor hearts. So Peter bid R, whichwas promptly doubled,

As soon as dummy wentdom Nagysawtwothings fixst,,the save could easiily pxovetobe a phantom and second,maybetheK' contract wouldmake. He ruffed the 4K opening lead,then tried the %, which was allowed to hold. Nagy couldn'tafford any more heart leads for thetime being, ao he switched to diamonds, leadinglow to the 9, which held. The OQ went to theace, and back came a slide that was ruffed m duxnmy, The momerrt of truth had arrived Nagyhad io guess the club position correctly.

If the king waewith East, then 4t wouldmakeand à would be a goodsave, But if Van.Oppenhad the 4K, then it was imperative to make the right play. Nagy decidedthe king was third withWest, so he led the queen, coveredby the king and ace, Then came the 4J, dropping thedoubleton10, Now Petex" drove out the VA and claimed for 18 points out of 19.

That hand carne from Nagy, who visited the Daily Bulletin office with great. excitementafter discovering he and Eric still were out in front. And who should wandexby about 15 minuteslater but Carol Van Gppen.

BOOK BIDS AREN'T AI WAYS BESTBook bids don't always bring home the matchpoints. Tnat was the good news and the

bad news for Canadians Ted Horning and John Stevens of Toronto in the first final session.When they played Eddie Kantar and Billy Kisenberg the Americans bid a slam in notrumpwhen they had a 6-3 heart fit. When the hea,ris broke two-two, Kantax and Eisenberg had abig score because of that extra 10 points for the first trick at notrump, So when Horning andStevens got to Board 14, they decided to see if the same style would work fox them,Dlr:East 4 KQ J73 EA ST SOUTH WEST NORTHVul:None VAQ J4 Pass Pass Pa 88 14
