Mr. Able spent all his time in
today's deal worrying about how-
to play the club suit. Of course, he
was under a strain, playing with
Mr. Champion who had been yell-
ing at him all during the rubber.
In any case, he did not give him-
self every chance for his contract.
Mr. Dale opened the four of
hearts and Mr. Masters' king was
permitted to hold. The jack of
hearts was returned and Mr. Abel
had to win it.
He led a low club toward the
dummy and Mr. Dale played the
10. Dummy's ace won and Mr. Abel
went into the library. Was that 10
a singleton or had Mr. Dale start-
ed with the queen and 10 alone?
There wa3 another very real pos-
sibility.
Mr. Dale may have started with
the 10 and a low club. He would
play the 10 from that holding, hop-
ing to talk Mr. Abel out of finess-
ing the jack on the second club
lead.
Mr. Abel finally decided to play
Mr. Masters for the queen of clubs.
He led back the eight from the
board and let it ride. Mr. Dale
won and rattled off enough heart
tricks to defeat the contract.
Mr. Champion shook his head an-
grily. "Abel," he said, "you seem
to have lost track of the basic fact,
that there are four 3uits in the
deck."
"It was just a guess about the
queen of clubs," replied Mr. Abel
defensively.
"I am not asking you to drop
lone queens," Mr. Champion con-
tinued. "I am merely asking you
to play the hand right. Maybe you
would have gone down playing it
right, but at least you would have
given yourself an extra chance.'"
Mr. Abel was flustered now and
still didn't see the point.
"Here's what I mean," went on
Mr. Champion. "You thought only
about the club suit. But what a-
bout spades? If the spade finesse
is successful, you can win four
spade tricks—enough for nine
tricks in all.
"Well "why not play the ace and
king of clubs first? If the queen
drops, your problem ii solved. If
it doesn't, then go after, spades.
Two chances instead of one seems
like good sense to me."
