The members of the Washington
Model Yacht Club have always done
their sailing on the Rejecting Pool
on Sundays and holidays. but one
of the members, Joseph j. Martin,
has to work almost every Sunday
and thus can't participate. He does,
however, have time off during the
week when he would like to sail,
but it's not much fun without
competition.
There may be other people here
who would like to try model yacht
ing, but have never done so because
they work on Sunday. If such is
the case Mr.. Martin would like to
know about it so that arrangements
could be made to do some weekday
sailing. Mr.. Martin lives at 4845
Macarthur boulevard NV, phone
Ordway 0690.
The club is not holding any busi-
ness meetings at present. Any one
wishing to obtain further informa-
tion about its activities, or wanting
to build a model sailing yacht,
should call Mr.. Martin or A. w.
Greely, Emerson 6299, and mention
this column as an introduction New
members are always welcomed and
aid will be given in building new
boats. Sometimes used boats are
available so that newcomers may
start racing while their boat is un-
der construction.
Mr.. Martin may give up yacht
racing if he can't find some one to
sail against on his day off. How
ever, that doesn't mean he is giving
up hobbies. He is becoming inter-
ested in model railroading, particu-
larly of electric interurbans. So if
the yachtsmen lose a member the
railroaders will probably gain one.
And, of course, he might 60 in for

doubled and made enabled him to
make high on the board although

"I passed, West bid one spade,
North passed and East called two
diamonds. On the second round I
again passed, West bid two hearts
and East then went to three no.

II have always been instructed
that when leading blind to a no.
trump contract, to open with the
fourth of my longest and strongest
suit. unless there should be some
special reason why I should not do
so, as for example my partner hav-
ing put in bid. My partner not
having bid and having no suit of
my own to establish. followed the
rule of fourth best from my longest
and strongest suit l laid down
the six of diamonds. The declarer
made four-odd, one over contract.
My partner said she would have
been held to three if 1 had made
the right lead. He made no further
explanation. Now, I am not an
expert and would like to know what
lead I could have made that would
have held the contract to three"
Your proper lead in the circum-
stances described would have been
the 10 of spades. BY leading the dia-
mond which the declarer had orig
inally bid, although you had five Of
the suit, you gave East what is
called a free finesse and that ac-
counted for the extra trick. The
lead of the 10 of spades would have
given your side two spade tricks and
the king Of hearts and the king of
diamonds, four tricks instead of
three. The reason for this lead is
that East had denied support in
spades, and, as you had only two,
spades must have been your part
ner's strongest suit.
This is what would have hap
pened: North would have allowed
East to win with the queen. De-
clarer would then have finessed the
jack of hearts and North's king
would win. North would return a
diamond and when declarer per-
mitted you to win with the king Of
diamonds as she would have been
obliged to do after running her
hearts and clubs. you would have
led the nine of spades and North
would have won two tricks with the
jack and ace of that suit.
