correct opening from an ace-quecn-jack
suit that has no reentry. u unlocked by
giving up the king and returning the
four. 80 that all six clubs made. leaving
with his contract, the odd trick.
VS. excuse for refusing to take his
partner out was that he had no trumper
himself. But such is not the case. VS.
hand is royal. and never n no trumper
unless his partner denied the royals and
Indicated strength IN another suit. The
stronger the dummy that Is to be laid
on the table the stronger the reason for
calling two royals over rs no trumps.
OF course IT Is a little siam at royals
II II leads anything but club. II he
starts with the diamonds wins with
the ace and leads four rounds OF trumps,
and then plays the diamond 40 as to get
club discard ON the third round OF that
suit. He gets another club discard on
the fourth round OF hearts. so that one
club Is all that A and - can get out Of
II at the end.
Even If A should he rash enough to call
three clubs after Y has taken z out with
two royals all he could save would be-
one trick, by getting n club led NJ the
start before Y got any discards with a
game hand and u would never leave
him in with the club.
From the present system Of declaring
that n major suit takeout when tho gee
ond hand passes must always be more
or less ambiguous, as 80 may be either
weak takeput or a strong one. But
when one comes TO the minor suits there
Is no such ambiguity. provided the third
hand thoroughly understands the conven-
tons that govern the situation. Tnfor-
tunately this IL just where the average
player IL very weak.
II "a considered grant bap1if.an
u have to win an extra trick TO go game
with a major suit a. compared to no
trumps. but to win eleven tricks out OF
thirteen with minor suit for the trump
is quite an undertaking. and as White
head remarks In the notes to his Con
NentiOns." hands that are easily good for
five by cards usually just miss a slam By
careless play.
n the dealer bids no trump and the
second hand passes. any minor suit take
out by the third hand must he a declara-
ton OF weakness otherwise 1t 4. un-
sound, II tho average player would only
carry this convention carefully tucked
away in his memory 1t would save him
good mlny rubbers in the course OF
season.
To take the partner out OF no
trumper with an established suit OF clubs
or diamonds simply because OF its
strength j. merely asking the dealer 10
work hard for eleven tricks when nine
should b. enough. As no trumpers are
usually declared on three suits protected
IT should he obvious that II the third
hand has everything In the fourth suit
that IL exactly what the partner wants
for his no irumper. Here is a good oX-
ample Of the mistake made by so many
pl ycrs when they hold strong minor
