because it forced South to
commit himself. If the dia-
monds were going to break 3-3,
Jones wouldn't need the club
finesse; but If the diamonds
were unfavorably split, he
needed the finesse. The trouble
was that South had to decide
for or against the finesse before
he found out about the dia-
monds.
Jones thought about mathe-
mates. The odds were about
2 to / against a 3-3 break in
diamonds, but the odds were
even on the club finesse. Nat
urally enough. Jones decided to
try the club f1nesSe.
Just then Jones looked up
and saw West. a fellow by the
name Of Henry j. People. Henry
was the sort of fellow who paid
his taxes a month ahead of
time and had never chopped
down cherry tree in his whole
life.
Would Henry J. People be
leading the eight of clubs in
the hope Of looking like a man
who didn't have the king of
clubs? Not on your life. If
Henry had the king of clubs he
would lead some other suit
any suit. We all know players
like that.
So Jones decided to heck
with mathematics: he was 60
ing to play People. He went
right up with the ace of clubs
and made his contract when
the diamonds broke favorably.
You can find this story in the
lawbooks if you know where to
look.
