Mr.. Abel became intrigued
with the idea. In today's deal
he used the bid himself. but Mr..
Heinsite, holding only one Of
the three top spade honors.
signed OF at six spades.
Mr.. Dale opened the jack Of
diamonds and the ace won. Now
Mr.. Abel promptly laid down the
ace of spades. He paled as Mr..
Dale showed out, discarding
small heart. Later he lost two
spade tricks to Mr.. Champion
for a minus score on his big
hand.
He overlooked the simple
safety play with this trump hold
ing, that Of leading a small spade
toward dummy and just cover
ing whatever spade Mr.. Dale
played. Thus If Mr.. Dale held
all four outstanding spades and
played the five on the first lead,
dummy's nine would win. Or, if
Mr.. Dale put up an honor, dunn
my's king would capture 1t. the
nine would drive out his honor
and Mr.. Abel'S ace and 10 would
pick up his two small ones.
AS the cards actually were, Mr..
Dale would show out and dunn
my's king would win. On the
return Of the nine. Mr.. Cham
pion could cover or not as he
chose, but he could never win
more than one trump trick.
In other words, the lead Of a
small spade first would abso-
lutely guarantee no more than
one spade loser no matter how
the trump suit was divided.
Normally Mr.. Abel would have
made this safety play. He knows
about it and has made it be-
fore. But in this rubber. his
mind was engrossed in the anal
ysis Mr.. Heinsite had been
making after every hand and
particularly in the long and un-
requested harangue concerning
the grand slam force.
How much better OF MIR. Helm
site would be if he forgot about
making lectures on obscure bids
and plays which come up only
once in a blue moon.
