Gdce
~ "a ~ All pass
Actually this danger is often
an illusion. There are many
contracts which can be made by
the simple expedient Of CASH
ing all Of the trumps.
! am not referring to the
cashing Of all trumps for the
purpose of executing a squeeze
or with the hope that an OPP
ponent will make an error in
diScarding. The situation
mean is the one illustrated in
today's deal-getting an exact
count on the defenders hands.
The ace and king Of spades
won the first two tricks as Mr..
Meek muttered something about
Miss Brash's optimistic bidding.
He likes his contracts to be lay
downs.
At trick three another spade
was led. Mrs. Keen ruffed and
Mr.. Meek overruffed. A trump
lead followed and Mr.. Abel took
the ace and returned a trump,
dummy's queen winning. A
third trump lead to the king
picked up Mr.. Abel's last one.
Mrs. Keen discarded two small
clubs on the last two trump
leads.
At this point Mr.. Meek had
one trump left and he held on
to 1t grimly. He tried to break
the diamond suit but on the third
round Mr.. Abel showed out. dis
carding a spade.
Now the king Of clubs was
cashed and a low club led to-
ward the ace-jack. Mrs. Keen
played the six on the king.
then followed with the eight
spot.
Mr.. Meek had counted the
hand as well as he could. He
knew Mrs. Keen had started
with exactly two spades. two
hearts and four diamonds
Therefore. she originally had 1--WE
clubs. After her play of the
eight. she had one left. But
was 1t the queen or not? There
was no way to tell. Mr.. Meek
messed the Jack and down he
went.
See what would have happened
II ne had cashed his last heart
before trying the diamonds. On
That card he would have dis
