Trick /. While there may be some long suit

to risk having his ace sour.
Long.Buiters do not believe in forcing partner
unless they are strong in trumps themselves,

difference whether he opens spades or d.a-
monds. for the ace of spades is the only trick in
plain suits that they can make.

afraid to lead Il small spade, even though Us dis.
II he does, he may lose a trick ia puts up the

There were q great many such hands In. the

several being capable of variations as large as
five or six. 1t required very careful playing TO
get all there was in them. and the steady play
ers came very near doing 1t.
U PROBLEMS.
turned upon the question of what suit A was
leading, ,trumps for and what he held in that
suit. The best answer received Is from C. ii.
F.. Toronto, and is as follows:
'Y should play king of clubs. for the follow
ing reasons: A has not A z j. therefore Y's 10
. 2 will stop the suit II A has A q. A must have
the ace. as no would not lead trumps to defend
win; and Y will probably secure the only trick
to be made in the suit II is short in clubs,
which seems probable. AS z has the last two
trumps. and spades must be his suit II he has
anything, Y can lead the spade queen after
making the best diamond"
In this answer. c.. II. F. gives exactly what
happened In the actual play. which came up in
Knickerbockor Whist Club on Feb. 8. The play
was as follows, heart 3 turned by Il:

Trick 4. Tho return of tho three marks Y
Will two more 81 ades, so both adversaries must
be out Of the suit, and IL would be very bad pol
icy for u to continue 1t. Some injudicious
players would rush off to trumps. but with the
club suit probably oil against him. and his own
weakness in diamonds, Y very properly rcfrains
from taking unnecessary risks and leads the
supporting diamond.
Trick D. Is naturally goes to trumps to save
his own diamonds and his partners clubs. With
the whole spade suit against him; 1t would be
course. would. have saved just three tricks.
Trick Z. II knows he must lose a trick in dia-
monds IL he keeps the five. so he may as we'll get
rid Of II now and give his partner a chance on
the clubs.
Here is the same hand played on common
sense principles, which shows a clear gain Of six
tricks: Only one or two pairs made 80 many, al
though several opened the hand with the club
queen, BIS failure to lead trumps being account
able for the loss of three tricks:
