switch to minor suit, in which five b. cards
is very doubtful.
So we'll is this advantage understood BY
some good players that they will take long
chances as fourth hand on driving the dealer
out Of his no-trumper by calling suits in which
they really have not legitimate ask, cspc-
cially if it is major suit. There is always
the risk that the player who asks the lead may
be left to play the hand, but there is always
the consolation that even if he is set he does
not lose the game or rubber.
Speaking Of this risk, it is very seldom that
a fourth hand ask that could be penallzed for
anything worth while is left in. If the
trumpcr and his partner not very strong
the loss on the ask may not be moro than
trick or two, with honors to deduct II the
suit asked for happens to be the dealers weak
est spot he usually will double and get bid
out of his partner.
One important point In connection with
these fourth hand asks is that they should
not be supported by the partner unless he is
unusually strong, which can seldom, in the
nature of things, be the ca~e. The bid is not
made with any idea Of gclng game, but only
Of saving game. The moment the notrumper
is dropped the chief object of the ask, to get
a lead, no longer exists. as that lead was
wanted against no-trumper.
One of the principal things for the partner
to remember is that the suit which he is asked
to lead is not solid suit, but is always one
with enough holes in it to make it quite pos
sible that the dealer will return to no trumps.
The usual fourth hand asks are such suits
as five to the king jack, or ace-jack, or king
queen-ten The re-entry must be an ace or
king-queen suit, as guarded kings are WORTH
less if led through.
1t is manifestly mistake, although one
very frequently made, for the fourth hand to
ask the lead Of suit which the dealer cannot

The fundamental idea Of asking for lead

The general rule for a fourth hand ask Is
to have a suit Of five cards or more, which
Will be established in lead If your part
acr has any honor, or if you can get a fanesse
over possible honor in the dummy. This suit
being established, you must have sure trick
somewhere else to bring it into play. Then
the four tricks in your suit, added to the re-
entry, are just enough to save the game.
This all presupposes that the dealer is going
to back his no-trumper. If he does not do so
he must shift to a suit or wait for his partner
to do so, and no matter what suit he picks he
has to make ten tricks, instead OF nine, to go

either major suit is sound, regardless of the
rest OF the hand. That it is sound in the
minor suit with trickless hand has long been
recognized, because it increases the trck-tak-
ing power Of the cards. Therefore the
must be true Of a ma or suit.
Queston-Is it ever advisable to give up
the control of the adversares' suit in a no.
trumpcr until it has been led at least twice?
M. c. L.
Answer-1hat depends on whether you are
afraid of that suit not. In many cases it
is advisable TO exhaust the leaders, partner,
as he is the one who will probably get in
later, but not always In many hands you
can run game before losing the lead. and in
such cases the suit you arc giving them tricks
in may have to be discarded to protect some
thing else. All hodng-up plays depend on
the situation in other suits.
Question--1s it good policy to continue
suit which the dealers side can trump
n. N. p
Answer1f it forces the declarer's own
hand, and he has no set-up suit, it may be
good policy to weaken his trumps. 1t is also
often good play to let dummy trump. in pref
crence to opening another suit to disadvan-
tage, especially if the decarer can give dunn
my the ruff himself if you do not.

notice served on him to drop his no-trumpcr
and pick out something safer.
A curious example of this mistake came up
at one Of the duplicate matches at the Knickcr-
booker Whist Club some four years ago. See
illustration in first column.
Most Of the tables bid no-trump on rs
cards, although one or two of the believers in
ma ior suits called spades. At every table but
one, at which the dealer started with no-trump,
called the diamonds when it got round to
him. The dealer doubled and got spade bid
from Y. the higher ranking suit; or bid the
spades himself. This goes game, two diamonds
and tic ace of clubs being the only losers.
Al ore table Wilbur G.. Whitehead the au-
thor Of "Auction Bridge Standards" held BIS
