support her and that her JOB was
about to be conferred upon some
Republican or Democrat, as the case
might be, who had no husbands OF
wives to support her or him.
There was no law on the subject
Precedent and vague ruling made

Just so long as the folks promptly

"N HERE is one situation in the defensive
play that is so frequently mismanaged
II that one is rather astonished the aver
age player does not give it more at
tention, especially the same situation will
be rhisplayed with the same unfortunate result
time after time Whether it is that the play
ers do not realize their mistake, do not
that it is the direct cause of their losses, it is
difficult to say. Perhaps it is both.
This situation arises when it is clear that
by leading a certain suit, going on with
suit already started, the player will establish
sure winners in the dummy. The danger in
such cases is that the dec.arer will be short in
the suit and will be able to get advan ,ageous
discards
Another effect may be to relieve the de-
cIarer's mind about suit allowing him to
unguard honor that he would otherwise
have had to protect. further point is that
the ability to win trick in that particular
suit may give him lead from dummy and an
advantageous finesse in his own hand which
would have been otherwise impossible.
There two situations that require atten-
tion, the management Of the play being slight
~ olhefent IN eacn. Let us suppose the OPEN
ing lead TO be from suit headed by ace and
king. The king wins the first trick but dis
closes four to the queen jack in dummy. To
so WIN the ace is to establish that queen
and jack for sure tricks. If the declarcr can
get in On another suit and lead through the
ace, it cannot be helped; but don't do it for
him. He is your enemy, not your partner, and
yon should not do anything to make things
easier for him.
Another way this situation may come up "a
when Il second round Of your suit, if you fol
low the king with the ace might be trurnpcd,
leaving even the queen good in the dummy.

If this can be done, and the decarer docs

players make the mistake of arguing that as
the queen must make anyway, it is better to
have it out of the way, leaving the leader with
the best cards Of the suit. This is a short
sighted way to look at it, as the following

The next lead is the trump, and the linesse Of
the jack allows Z to lead the ace and drop Tie
