Eagle Checking
Baytown’s only Full Serace Bank, sewing this aiea since 1920.
By Phillip Alder
For the last three days, we have
been looking at ruffing losers in the
dummy. As this play usually generates
an extra trick, it is almost always the
right line. However, there is one no-
table time when it is probably wrong:
when you are trying to establish dum-
my’s long side suit. Then you often
need dummy’s trumps as entries.
This deal illustrates the basic idea.
How would you try to make four
hearts? West leads the club king.
You have nine top tricks: two
spades,, six hearts and one club.
Equally, there are four losers (two dia-
monds and two clubs) staring you in
the face. You cannot ruff any of them
in the dummy, so you must establish a
long spade in the dummy.
There are six spades missing. They
will probably divide 4-2, which means
that you must ruff two spades in your
hand before a long spade is estab-
lished. Therefore, you need three en-
tries in the dummy: two for the ruffs
and one to get back to the dummy to
cash the established winner. What are
those three entries? You have a top
spade, so the other two must be in
trumps: the ace and nine. This means
that you cannot afford to draw more
than one round of trumps.
Here is the safest line: Win the first
(or second) trick with the club ace,
cash the heart king, play off dummy’s
ace-king of spades, and ruff a spade
high in hand to avoid the risk of an
overruff. Play a heart to dummy’s nine,
ruff another spade high, lead a trump
to dummy’s ace, and cash the estab-
lished spade seven. Your 10 tricks are
three spades, six hearts and one club.
ASTROGRAPH
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) DIs-
(U»i|i appointment could start the day off by
depending on someone to come through
Hfirtnday for you who has proven unreliable in the
past. Be discerning in whom you put
stock.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Criticism,
instead of compliments is a sure fire way
to jeopardize a good relationship you
have going. If this person is trying hard to
please you, appreciate his or her effort.
SCORPIO tOoti 244l»v. 22) By consid-
ering the interests,of others over your
own, you will make this day a happy one
for yourself. On the other hand, selfish
motives won’t yield happiness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Avoid
Jumping to conclusions that someone in
authority is going to be against you
before you've even tested the waters. A
good attitude on your part yields coopera-
tion by others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Even if
your response is just, avoid being vindic-
tive at this time. Follow your humane
instincts instead and the day will turn out
in your favor.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Let your
wallet be the deciding factor should you

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you keep look-
ing over the shoulders of those who are
helping you today, they won't be able to
be as effective for you as they could be
when left to their own devices. Show faith
in them.
KIT ’N’ CARLYLE ® by Larry Wright
find yourself in an awkward position
where a stranger can give you a better
deal economically than a friend. -Your pal
will understand.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Although

agreement today, you’ll stay the course.
The choice will prove to be a good one,
when you find out there is a bonus in it
for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although
jtqUr motives jnlght be innocent to you,
this is not a good day to try to slip some-
thing over on an intimate pat. Keep
everythmgabove board. <
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) When nego-
tiating for anything important today, do
more listening than talking. Chances ate
the person with whom you’re bargalhlng
will give you better terms than you have
in mind. ' " ■
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Partnership
arrangements can be very successful
today if each party shares equal autono-
my. Conversely, the team won’t function
as effectively if one person has more
power.
