his own hand and VS. were divided
5-4-3-1. He also noted that A opened
the six of clubs and that B played the
deuce. If B had held two clubs, he
would have started an echo to show his
partner that he could trump the third
round of clubs so his play of the deuce
indicated a singleton. Z, therefore, fig
ured that the clubs were divided 5-4-3-1.
He holds five spades and his dummy
three so that if A also held singleton,
it must be in spades. Therefore the
spades must be divided 5-4-3-1. His

the dummy also indicated a possibility
that these suits were divided 5-4-3-i.
Z, therefore, decided to play according
!y. At the second trick he led the ace Of
hearts and then a low heart trumping
in dummy. He then led low club
which B trumped. On this trick z
played his ace Of clubs so that he could
fnesse the king jack later. No matter
what B now plays z must make a small
slam. Figure it out. The hand is remark
able in that after the first lead the dis
tribution of all four suits can be so
determined. 1t is also a re-
markable illustration of the Law of
Symmetry. All of the four suits and all
of the four hands have the same dis
tribution, 5-4-3-1. 1t is the first time
that the writer ever has noted such a
unique hand.

ARTICLE No. 4
Copyright 1925 by Hoyle. Jr.

Is it more difficult to play the dummy
hand against two opponents or for the
two opponents to play against the de-
clarer? That question has been the
cause of much discussion but to the
writer there seems only one answer. 1t
is much more difficult for the opponents
of the declarer. The latter can see his
twenty-six cards and should know the
best way of combining them to the best
advantage. He is not in the dark as are
his opponents, for they must guess as
to the others holding and they are just
as apt to guess wrong as right. Also, in
the opening lead, the opponents of the
declarer are at a disadvantage. If part
ner has not bid, what should be the
opening lead2 This is a question that
puzzles the experts at times but the
average player can greatly overcome
this difficulty by the careful study of |
good table Of leads. In playing against |
the declarer, try to convey as much |
Information as possible to your partner
by use of conventional leads and dis
cards. Watch your partners play and
that of the declarer very closely. Try
not only to make every play of your
own convey information to your part
ner, but try also to learn something

A serious automobile accident oc-
Cured on Wednesday morning of
last week at the intersection of the
BrOadkill Beach-Milton road and
the new concrete road from NAPLES
Mill to Drawbridge when two trucks
ran together. The truck of H. D.
Cooke of Lincoln loaded with men
going to work grading the new road
near Overlook, crashed into
truck driven by John Parsons, a
farmer of Broadkill Neck, badly
wrecking both machines and severe
ly cutting the tongue of Mr.. Par
sons young son, who was riding
with him at the time of the acci-
! dent. Mr.. Parsons says that piled
up fodder in field obscured his
view north, from which direction
the Cooke truck was coming, and
failed to see the truck until he was
on the concrete road, too late to
avoid a collision. The same cause
is given by the Cooke truck driver
for not seeing Mr.. Parsons. DR.. w.
r. Douglas was called to treat the
injured boy and reports that a piece |
.of the tongue was completely sever
ed. Aside from a severe bruise on |
the right side of the face the lad es-
capped serious injury. No other oc-
cupants of either truck was hurt.

What is the correct opening lead with

queen of hearts. Any other lead with

The writer has occasionally mentioned
the Law of Symmetry in these articles.
This Law is, in effect, a theory that
there is a symmetrical relation existing
between the distribution of the four

distribution of any one of the four suits
among the four hands. This symmetri-
cal relation is well exemplified by the
distribution of the following hand which
