has to cash the ace of hearts
and be satisfied with IL tricks.
It's too dangerous to try for
a 18th trick and run the risk
of winning only 9 or 10.
In tournament South can
not afford to be the only fish
in the room who makes only
II tricks. Likewise, he cannot
afford to win only 9 or 10
tricks when IL tricks are cold
from the start.
Free Ride
The solution to problems of
this kind is to look for the
free ride. That is, look for a
way to try for the extra trick
without risking any of the
tricks that everybody else is
sure to win.
In this case the free ride play
is to let East win the first trick
with the queen Of spades.
Almost surely, East will return
another spade. Now you can
finesse the jack in the attempt
to get a twelfth trick. II the
finesse loses, you can still take
your IL sure risks; if it wins,
you have your extra trick with
out risk.
This isn't a perfect solution,
since East may have Q-10-x of
spades. In that case, your 18th
trick comes from winning the
first trick with the ace of
spades and later finessing the
nine. But it's a good practical
compromise play.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

@. The words you respell
for pronunciation are very
good and it is simple to read
the correct pronunciation. +
wonder If you have a book on
words with your method of re-
spelling for pronunciation? 4
have always had trouble with
the symbols used in the die
tionary because I am never sure
Of myself. Your method is
positively foolproof. Thank
you.-Mrs. N. D'Amico, Pater-
son, N. J.
A. Thank you, dear lady.
Those words of praise for my
system for showing pronuncia-
tions without confusing signs
or symbols are gratifying in
deed. A dictionary of words
respelled in this fashion does
exist but it is, alas, no longer
on sale. However, if you check
your local public library they
will almost certainly have a
copy of Words: The New Die
tionary," for which served as
managing editor. It contains
some 10000 words and difini-
tions-with pronunciations in
the simple system used in this
column.
Most American dictionaries
today show pronunciations by
variations Of the original "dia-
critical marks" used by Noah
Webster. Over the years, many
efforts have been made to re-
duce the number of such Spe-
cial symbols and one diction-
ary (the new Funk & Wag-
nallS) now uses only % Of
these long marks, short marks,
inverted letters and other pro
nunciation" marks.
No dictionary editor-and I
count dozens Of them among
my friendS-regards any of
these systems as foolproof. The
only completely successful sys-
tenn is the International Pho
netic Alphabet and that is so
complex that only specially
trained phoneticians can use it.
The chief claim I make for my
system is that it is as accurate
as the generally used Web
Sterian systems - and inf
nitely easier for the ordinary
person to understand.
In recent years the World
Book Encyclopedia" and certain
high-School text books includ-
ing some published by Har-
court, Brace & World, have
adopted systems similar to the
one I developed for Words:
The New Dictionary. But
schoolteachers generally seem
to feel that there is some caba-
listic magic in the old dia-
critical marks-even though
not one teacher in a thousand
can understand them without
referring to the key at the bot
tom of the dictionary page. So
the day Of pronunciation en-
lightenment seems still far
distant.
