THERE are certain conventions
i of play that the beginner at
bridge soon learns, such as second
hand low" return your partners
suit" ''cover an honor with an
honor" and so on.
A play equally important is one
which the writer was surprised to
find seldom is mentioned and as
result great many beginners
fail to appreciate its Importance.
The play is this: When you hold
four of your opponents trump, do
not open your short suit, but at
tack with your long suit, in an en-
deavor to force declarer to ruff,
thus setting up a trump trick in
your own hand.
The following hand illustrating
this point was played by Mrs. H.
D. Stahl of Pittsburgh, who has
held two women's national auction
titles and who tied for one national
contract title.
