In the following analysis, which com

probably good for eleven tricks with
clubs trumps. The clubs should fall to
the ace and king. One spade trick must

THAT PULLING NINTH TRICK.

Eight tricks were now available If South
chose to take them. How TO get the ninth
trick to make game was the point. The
diamonds offered hardly any chance for
tricks outside of the ace and king of the
suit. With spades, however, successful
fnesse meant an additional trick and
game.
So South led the two Of spades, taking
the unsuccessful jack finesse in dummy's
hand. East led the queen of diamonds,
South letting the dummy win with the
ace. 4 low spade was now led from
dummy to South's ace.
Vests hand at this stage of the game
was an open book. Four hearts and three
clubs were marked absolutely in his hand.
In order to reduce Vests heart holding
by forcing discard to only three posi-
bile heart tricks. South put dummy in
with the queen of clubs and North's king
of spades forced heart discard from
Vests hand. Another diamond lead put
South in with the king.
The small card here proved it's worth.
South led the nine of hearts, forcing West
into the lead. West made his thsee re-
manning hearts. but paid the penalty by
having to lead away from his guarded
lack of clubs, thereby giving South the
TWO last tricks with the ace and ten OF
clubs.
Four tricks In hearts were made by
East and West, the declarer going game
by good play.

Score: Love all. first game.
With strong supporting cards the club
suit seemed TO offer better chance foT
game If played at no trump than at
clubs: so one no trump was South S
opening bid. West declared two hearts.
North passed. but South went two no
trump. West increased his heart bid 10
three on the strength Of his honors.
THIS was little steep. but the hand
looked so hopeless against a no trump
that the bid seemed the wisest course.
North rightly concluded that an assist
ing bid at this stage would not indicate
heart strength after pass on the first
round of bidding and accordingly made
il three no trump. East concluded that
with two fairly strong suits his holding
could be used to better advantage in 1e-
tending a no trump make rather than
assisting his partners declaration. 30
passed West realized that his three bid
had been close TO a possible dangerous
double, and. Of course. could not so
any further, SO South played the hand
at three no trumUs.

AN OPPORTUNITY WELL USED.

West led the Jack of diamonds TO the
first trick aud it went TO SOuth's lone
ace.
Because of absence of high cards in
suits players often ignore those suits en-
tirely as worthless in trick taking value.
The fact that ono or two leads will some
times draw the opponents high cards and
promote small cards To major values
seems ignored by many players. Rubbcrs
arc continually lost 10y players Of long cN-
rcrience. who fail TO get the full value
ont of hands because the trick taking
power Of cards below the high hOnors ap-
pears entirely beyond their range OF
vision.
South. however. was not I'm that class
of players. The six remaining diamonds
To him offered chance Of use. After
careful consideration he saw that a use
of his trumps could he made by which the
diamonds might be brought in. Success
depended on a favorable distribution Of
both diamonds and trumps. In this he
was fortunate as the result showed.
At the second trick South led the two
of hearts, which dummy won with the
nine. \ low diamond from dummy was
ruffed with the king of hearts by South.
The eight of hearts followed from South.
being won by the jack in dummy. An
other diamond lead from dummy. the
king falling i'm East's hand, was trumped
by South, clearing the diamond suit.
South trumped this last trick with the
ace The ten Of hearts was now led by
South and the trick was won by the
queen from dummy.
All trumps were now down, leaving a
clear path for the four remaining ola
mcnds in North's hand. Net result. five
diamonds and five trumps; ten tricks and
game AZ a reward for good play with
small cards.
