 In view of South's support, North could now count the diamond suit solid for six tricks. Furthermore, South's refusal to pass the hand at two diamonds indicated that he held 0 fair amount of additional trength-probabiy in clubs. North held what appeared to be sure shoppers in both major suits and | expected to run off his nine tricks before the opponents could do any damage. The Play
 That Is what actually happened at most tables. East opened q small spade, which declarer won with the king; declarer then ran off six diamonds and five clubs, thereby making six odd. However, one East player se- lected his opening lead with little more deliberation. From the bid- ding he knew his opponents had a considerable number of tricks in the minor suits and the no trump bid practically marked North with | the king of spades. The lead of 0 | small spade would be just what the declarer wanted, and by tho time East's spades could be established, the contract would be made.
 A spade lead from East's partner would be most desirable and since both minor suits had been bid ad- versely q heart lead seemed like the best chance to put West in the lead.
 A small heart might appear to be a fourth best and would invite re- turn of that suit. so East led the | jack of hearts. Dummy did not cover, but West, holding the ten and nine of hearts, was not to be trapped
 He could read the jack as an ob- vious short suit lead, so he went up with the ace and shifted to the ten of spades. One heart and five spade tricks defeated the dcclarer's contract by two tricks.

 Secretary, American Bridge League No one can deny that a study of opening leads is one of the most interesting phases of contract bridge.
 The conventional fourth best lead against a no trump contract will prove winner in the major ity of casess but at other times 1t is the exact lead the declarer wants and may enable him to make his contract with great ease.
 No player can always tell when to make an irregular lead. It is quite permissible, and often profit able, to depart from the recognized lead conventions. However, that should never be done at random and there should always be a logi- cal reason for the lead selected.
