to be effective should the ace be with
North
With the expectation of finding only
losing cards in clubs and in hearts, ex-
cept the ace, with North there would be
no valid excuse for West not leading a
heart Though the first lead would be
won in dummy. enough tricks would be
forthcoming to set the contract and save
the game
The location OF one card is often the
means of hurting down an adversary and
where there Is entire trust and confidence
between teammates good reasoning will
quickly grasp a slip by an adversary to
change the play for the partnership ad-
vantage.
The following hand was recently played
in a match at the Knickerbocker Whist
Club, and while South is rated as a good
player, his lapse was seized upon by a
clever thinker, who plays every hand to
his utmost.
The hand is also especially illustrative
of the placing OF cards based upon sound
bid by teammates.

criticism directed at a player for nom
success upon a declaration of this sort
comes from players who fail TO grasp the
idea that the score Is an influencing factor
in a bidding decision. SUCH players as
partners should be relieved of any re-
sponsibility in directing the destiny Of a
hand, and only strength bids fitted to any
state Of score should be offered for their
appreciation
West decided that his hand was not
strong enough for the usual two-no-trump

was not without hope, however, that his
partner might name a suit whereby the

action, challenging questions OF proper
motives of play.
He was not mistaken in his estimate of
the opponents course at the opening, but
what followed took him by surprise. West
led the Jack OF spades and South, without
thinking seriously OF the consequence, let
It hold. switch TO low diamond was
the result, as West was assured that his
partner had neithe" the ace nor the queen
of spades. With East winning the dia-
mond trick and leading his remaining
spade through South, the spade establish
ment became an easy matter.
The final result showed only Eve tricks
for North and South, four below their
contract.
The play OF this hand furnishes an apt
illustration Of partnership confidence and
of readiness to take advantage OF any
slip of the opponents.
Despite his inability to fathom any mo-
tive that should actuate any opponent
holdup, West felt positive that both ace
and queen of spades were with South

though accompanied by one or more small
cards, the duty to show its location would
not have been allowed to pass by. De-
ductions from the bidding decidedly ia
vored the location OF the ace of diamonds
in East's hand, rather than In South's.
Inferring also that if South held more
than one diamond, though the bidding
hardly favored it, set-up diamond suit
in dummy would later result independent
of any early action on his part. He had no
hesitancy therefore of leading away from
his queen twice guarded TO throw the
lead TO his partner.
Action similar TO south's at the arst
trick occurs every day at the auction
table Fancied security in belief of op-
posing action will lead players TO vacil-
iating course. without any real purpose

look very inviting. After some hesita-
ton he decided that II would be more
advantageous TO his interest TO allow the
declarer TO take the initiative in further
play and lead back trump.
This, of course. was fatal to further
trick taking against the declarer two
clubs in dummy giving North dlscards OF
both his losing hearts.
Five odd gave North and South one
trick above their contract and added con-
siderable to their honor score.
Aside from the fact that with any
thing approaching proper bidding on
Easts part and proper playing by the de-
clarer, the queen of spades was marked
In Easts hand and should have suggested
a way cut of difficulties when West was
forced in with the top trump, an interest
ing phase of play oftentimes occurring but
little studied is presented at the fourth
trick
Ar aversion against leading away from
one tenace up to another Is we'll known.
To avoid making such a lead and incur
ring a possible sacrifice of a trick many
offences are committed that sound juds-
ment would avoid
In this instance, il little thought had
been given TO the bidding and the prob
able division of cards tenace position
would have been ignored and the con-
tract set.
From Vests position at the stated trick
four or possibly five trumps were marked
i'm North's hand. The remaining cards
were hearts and clubs. II was fair to as
sumo that I'm the absence of the ace OF
hearts North had an honor in clubs TO
justify his bid. His length in clubs was
dependent in a measure upon his holding
in trumps. but at least two were in his
hand or a trump lead would not have been
made Either by club or trump lead
from West allowing North to take the
initiative in clubs in the latter case, q
