TUESDAY. JULY /, 1852

It's easy enough to signal when
you have one or more OF the tor
cards in suit your partner has
led. Sometimes, however, it is de-
sirable to signal for continuation
Of a suit when you have only small
cards. Such a situation arose in
today's hand.

Of course, Mr.. Muzzy's club over
call was atrocious, but at least it
told Mr.. Heinsite that Miss Brash
could not possibly hold more than
one club.
Mr.. Muzzy opened the king Of
clubs, the trey went on from dunn
my and Mr. Heinsite played the
deuce. This discouraging card
made Mr.. Muzzy pause even though
Miss Brash had dropped the queen.
After some thought he shifted
to 5his lone heart with the idea
that he might trump heart re-
turn. This would have done him
nos good because he had . sure
trump winner anyway.
In any case, Miss Brash won the
heart, took three top spades, then
led to the ace of diamonds and
returned a diamond. Mr.. Heinsite
took the second diamond and fred
q club. But it was too late.
Miss Brash ruffed and just led
diamonds until Mr.. Muzzy took his
good jack of spades. After that
the rest Of her hand was good.
"Just continue clubs at trick two
and she hasn't got a chance,
Muzzy," said Mr.. Heinsite hastily.
you've told me q thousand
times" complained Mr.. Muzzy bit
terly, that when you play deuce,
you don't want suit continued" :"
It's true that continued club
leads by the defenders would have
shortened Miss Brash's trump hold
ing to the point where she lost
control of the hand.
But I think the blame lies with
Mr. HelnSite. He, too, should have
been able to read easily that Miss
Brash's club was a singleton. From
the looks of the dummy and his
own hand he knew that a shift to
any other suit was not particularly
desirable.
Therefore, even though he held
no high club honor, he should have
encouraged the continuation of the
suit by playing the seven spot.
