Practical Farmers

oNbANoA ga
There was a sad accident one
day in the heart of the Ozark
Mountains. A farmers mule
kicked his mother-in-law tc
death. A tremendous crowd
turned out for the funeral, but
it was made up almost entirely
of men. The minister comment
ed, "This old lady must have
been mighty popular because Sc
many people will leave their
work to come to her funeral"
They're not here for the
funeral" said the surprised
farmer. They're here to buy
the mule"

Opening lead: Seven Of clubs.
A word Of caution about the
holdup-before you decide to
use it because of weakness in
the suit in which you are even
more vulnerable and to which
the defenders may shift If
given the opportunity.
AS simple as the play seems
(and usually isl. it does have
some complex variations which
we will get to a little later In
this series of columns.
The first question is: When
to use the holdup. It is just as
fatal to use it at the wrong
time as it is to fail to use 1t
when definitely called for.
Here is a good general rule:
Figure how many opposing high
cards you have to knock out
before you can set up enough
tricks for your contract. Your
shoppers in the suit led by the
enemy should be one more than
that figure. Failing in this test,
the holdup should be used.
Today's hand is a good ex-
ample of this principle. When
the dummy went down after
the seven Of clubs opening, Mr..
Masters saw he could not pos
sibly win nine tricks without
getting at least one or two
tricks in the diamond suit.
To accomplish that he had to
knock out two opposing high
cards-the ace and king Of dia-
monds. He had exactly two
shoppers in the suit led, clubs.
Therefore he automatically
used the holdup, permitting Mr..
Abel to win the first trick with
the 10.
He won the club return with
dummy's ace and led a low dia-
mond. It would have done Mr..
Abel no good to play the ace. so
he ducked. Mr.. Champion killed.
the jack with the king and,
realizing it was hopeless to con-
tinue clubs. switched to a heart.
Now Mr.. Masters had plenty Of
time to knock out the ace of
diamonds, setting up two win
ners in that suit. These, with
three spades, two hearts and
two clubs, were enough for the
contract.
Suppose he had won the first
trick with the ace or king of
clubs. In that case Mr.. Abel
could have stepped in with the
ace of diamonds on the first
lead Of that suit and returned
his last club. Even if Mr.. Mas
tiers wanted to concede this
trick, Mr.. Champion could
overtake with the queen of
clubs and fire a third club to
establish the suit while he still
held the king of diamonds for
an entry.
