Trump Leads.

IODAY'S hand involves the ques-
ton whether or not to play tEumps
when holding long side suit that
must be established. South opened
with two spades on a hand which
seemed reasonably certain to produce
game. When North made a positive
response showing sure trick. South
not unreasonably invited a slam and
North nobly responded with the bid
Of six spades. Then South proceeded
to throw away his small slam.

West won the first trick with the
king Of clubs. After trumping the
second club lead, declareY led two
rounds Of trumps and then played the
ace, king and another heart. trumping
in dummy. Then. since hearts were
not divided. declarer was set one, final
ly conceding heart trick: Now the
vital question arises, should declarer
have played any trumps before estab-
fishing the heart suit, and II 50, how
many rounds?
Obviously, declarer cannot draw all
the trumps: he must run at least one
heart in dummy. If each opponent
holds three hearts, 1t matters not
VIII ether one or two rounds Of trumps
are played, hence we must assume that
one opponent holds four. The question
now arises. should declarer play any
trumps? The answer Is yes. exactly
one round. Why? For safety purposes.
Nothing can be lost by playing one
round Of trumps; there will still be
sufncient number left in dummy.
And If, as was actually the case, the
opponent with only two hearts also
holds no more than one trump. the ace
Of trlmps will remove his only trump
and the two losing hearts can then be
safely ruffed in dummy. Finally, If
the opponent who Is short in hearts
holds more than one trump, the hand
cannot be made.
