HOT SPRINGS. Va, Oct. %.
The Middle Atlantic PGA
members move to the big
course-Cascades-for the Sec
ond and final round of their
championship today and the
big guy - Charley Bassler is
out in front with a par II at
the halfway point.
The first round was moved
to the Homestead course this
year because Cascades is so long
and tough for some of the older
fellows and shorter hitters. But
Homestead's 6,040 yards proved
tough yesterday on a raw day
of light showers. The par II
Cascades course measures 6,732
yards.
BaSsler, who has a one-stroke
lead over Steve Tobash OF Fort

day with his big-hitting proves

Maryland Open more times

Bassler's path could be a bit
easier today because he is three
strokes ahead of Woodmont's

In most cases the old &C

opening lead: Ten OF hearts.
West opened the 10 of
hearts, and dummy's queen
lost to the ace. Back came a
low heart and South had the
chance to discard. South dis
carded the three of diamonds,
winning the trick with dunn
my's king Of hearts. He then
returned a low diamond from
dummy, losing the queen to
Vests ace.
West returned a heart and
South ruffed, drew trumps,
cashed the king of diamonds,
and managed to set up dunn
my's 10 of diamonds. He was
able to discard two clubs on
the king and 10 of diamonds,
but still had to lose two clubs.
Down one.
South's error occurred at the
second trick. when he dis
carded a diamond. It was then
too early to know what to
throw. The correct play is to
ruff the second heart, draw
two rounds of trumps, and lead
the three of diamonds toward
dummy. If West plays low,
dummy wins with the king of
diamonds. Then declarer can
cash the king of hearts in
order to get rid of the queen
of diamonds. No diamond
trick will be lost, and South
loses only one heart and two
clubs.
If West tries to escape his
fate by stepping UP with the
ace Of diamonds he fares no
better. South will be able to
win three diamond tricks, dis
carding two clubs on the king
and 10. and will throw a third
club on dummy's king of
hearts. Only one club trick is
lost, and South makes his con-
tract. 3.

Answer: -Four hearts. This

make four hearts the chances
are very good that the oppo-
