and u want four of the six re-

do they get them, in spite of the best
defense of A and b?
SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS.
The solutions TO the problems pub
lished In lesson No. IA are as follows
In the first declaration the call
should be spades. as there is not sufi-
cient outside strength to justify dia-
monds. In the second hearts are safer
than no trumps
In the play of hand No. 1s the
original leader shows only four cards
in suit. therefore his partner must
have three. The dealers hest play is to
let the first trick come up to his ace
and return the suit. f1nessing the Jack
from dummy. He should then lead a.
small card from dummy and trump it
so as to hold the command of the suit
over the leader. If the trumps are
then led and exhausted the king of
diamonds wins four by cards and the
game. The dealer must be careful to
trump the third round of diamonds.
and not the fourth as the player on
his right might shut him out.
The solution of Problem No. f3 is for
7 to lead trump and then the king
The San Francisco call., 1906-10-25

Personally. I have always answered
this question with another one: Is it
possible to hold dummy down to dec
larations which are sound if the dealer
has not more than trick and half
to help them out?
If the answer to the second question
is no, which it usually is, then the an
swer to the first one must be easy;
as it is folly to pass the make for the
purpose of letting dummy declare on
average expectation when you know he
won't do it.
If dummy will insist on making dec
larations which require more than
trick and half in the dealers hand
to help them out, then it is clearly the
dealers duty to prevent dummy from
taking any such risks when there are
not at least two or three tricks in the
dealers hand.
In other words, when the dealer can
not make an attacking declaration him
self, and has not at least two tricks
In his own hand. he should go spades.
There is a great deal to be said for
both sides of this question of defensive
makes, of course, and many of the de-
tails must be left for a future article
For the present it is sufficient to set
forth the main idea, which is if the
dealer has not at least two tricks in
his hand he should not ask dummy to
declare. If, on the contrary, dummy
is asked to make it, he should be able
to count upon the dealer for at least
two tricks in something or other.
1t is just like the principle of the
system of leading If the ace is led
first it denies the king; if the dealer
makes it spades he denies the average
strength that dummy would have
right to expect if the dealer passed.
With such hands as the following, for
Instance.

The word sequence is used in cards
to signify two or more cards which
are next to each other in value, such
as the A KQ, or the 7S9. Strictly
speaking. a sequence must consist of
not less than three things. but as we
have no word in the English language
which means two things next to each
other in rank, we use the word sequence
when we speak of two cards next in
value. such as the K Q of a suit We
say, for instance, that we do not lead
the king unless we have the card next
lin" sequence with il, the ace or the
queen. This use of the word is correct.
and has led to calling the two cards,

any tricks would depend on both high
