CLIN ICS

South declared two hearts. Although
East overcalled with two royals and
was supported once by his partner,
South secured the contract at four
hearts.
West, favoring the showing Of high
card strength rather than length to
his partners declared suit, started off
with the queen of spades. East won
the trick with the king and led his
lowest club to dummy's weakness.
West, winning with the queen over
South's jack, led the four OF diamonds,
hoping thereby to put his partner in
for another lead through South.
Success would have attended his eff
forts had East, upon winning with the
king of diamonds, led another club.
Instead, however, he played one Of his
top spades, as the safest way, in his
estimation. 10 secure the essential
fourth trick to save the game, and in
cidentally to set the opponents con-
tract.
The view East took proved his I'M
doing. the balance of the tricks going
to his opponents, as subsequent play
shows. South, rufiing East's high
spade with the nine, led the ace Of
trumps, taking East's queen and leav-
ing only the six unaccounted for in one
adversary's hand. After playing the
lone queen of diamonds, South led the
seven of trumps, overtaking with the
eight in dummy. The ace of diamonds
was then led, South discarding a los
ing club, followed by another diamond,
which South ruffed with the ten. The
three of trumps then led put North in
with the four, and on the thirteenth
diamond South discarded his other
losing club. With four odd. North and
South made their contract and game
ON the hand.
This hand brings up prominently a
feature in defensive play that has been
matter of contention among the
players for some time, and as yet has
not been definitely settled 70 the sat
isfaction OF all. That is, whether the
partner of the declarer OF suit play
ing defensivelv should show length in
suit or high card strength. On this
question largely hinged the success or
failure Of the side opposing the de-
clarer. II West had led his lowest
spade originally, there would have
been little excuse for East's leading
a second spade after his king of dia
monds had been taken. Vests sup
porting bid was sufficiently informa-
tory to have guided East TO correct
play. Reading his partner for four
spades East would have had no alter
native but TO switch to clubs.
In general, we favor number-showing
when a supporting bid, which in it
self indicates certain strength in the
suit, has been made.
