FOR LOVERS OF WHIST
Diedrich's Remarks Upon the
Conduct Of Third Hand.
PRINCIPLES GOVERNING THE PLAY
Information Given by Play of Third Best
Unblocking Your Partners suit-Thc
Return--Analysls of Plays,

Tho ono anchor Of reliance for tho new
whist player who has lost his bearings and
Is tossed about by tho contrary winds Of
doctrine Is third hand high.n When
after bad case of rattles, the partner has
come to tho rescue and gained the lead, so
sure is tho now player Of the correctness Of
his play "this time" that with finger on
the card In oagor anticipation Ia very bad
mental habit into which to fall he some.
times unships the anchor just when it docs
the most damage. In tho play of third
hand, as in tho lead, consider deliberately
your forces, rs we'll as the inferencos to be
drawn from the lead of the partner.
Your play will depend first upon the
number of cards in tho suit. Upon an
honor led third hand holding four should
play the third best, and later, when tho
suit is established, return tho fourth best
thereby indicating to tho partner your
strength in his suit.
Tho second condition of tho ploy IL tho
denomination Of tho card led. On an hon.
OF led play low, except when it is desir-
able to lubbock your partners suit Thus
queen led, with no indication that it is q
forced lead, shows that tho jack, ten and
nine are buck of it (see table of American
Leads) Therefore, with AGO, king and
small in third hand, play tho king on tho
partners queen, return the AGO, then lead
the remaining low card, thus establishing
the control and the lead in the hand which
has tho longer suit.
On the lead of n low card play tho high
est card, except when this tops sequence,
when, of course, the low of the sequence is
played.
Finesso with tho ace and queen. Mover
fneSso, however, when second hand has
Indicated weak mess In tho Suit
Tho third consideration is tho dcnomi-
nation Of tho card played by the second
hand. When this is higher than n high
one led, cover it. When thore arc in.
dicntions that your partners load is a
forced one from u short suit or is led to
take advantage of declared weakness in
fourth hand, reserve as far as possible
commanding cards in the suit with which
to cover whatever high cards arc finally
forced from second hand
Whom third hand has no cards in the
suit, play rs though the lowest trump
were the highest of tho suit led, and tho
weak card of another suit, which it is do
sirable to discard, tho lowest Where it
would DO proper to play tho acc if present,
play the low trump, and, where tho low
suit card would have beon proper, the dis
card.
When tho play of third hand high takes
the trick, return the suit if you arc also
strong in it, If not lead back to Indicate
your best suit. When the return is prop
or, If not at first, then later, give back the
card that will bost establish tho suit in
the hand which has most cards In it, Thus
with few cards return high; with four OF
moro, and indications from either tho lead
or tho fall of the cards that tho clearance
of tho suit Gun be effected by your partner
for your benefit, return low.
