ARTICLE No. 27
In; the previous article, a number of
interesting handsweregiven in which
the proper lead was discussed. dere is
another hand, of a similar type, that
has just' been submitted by a corre-
spondent:

reasons it is a hand in -which, the trump
lead is ideal. With the trump opening,
the three heart bid would have been de-
feated'by one trick. With any other
opening, the declarer would have made

Another hand has just beensubmitted
and the writer's opinion has been asked
as to the proper play.

A bid three hearts, Y three spades and

provided only the dummy hand is ex-
posed? Z should vin the first trick with
the king of diamonds and lead the trey
of diamonds, finessing the ten spot. He
should now lead the eight of spades
from dummy and finesse the jack from
his own hand. The purpose of this
finesse is: First to catch the king if it
is only guarded once in B's hand; and
second, to establish a reentry in trumps
in Y's hand, if the king of spades is•tn
A's hand. A, of course, wins the trick
with the king and no matter what he

plays, Z must make three odd. If A
plays the ace of hearts Z's king of
hearts will make. If A Pays a club, Z
should play the ace of clubs in dummy,
take two rounds of trumps, winning the
second round in dummy with the queen.
He should then discard either two clubs
or two hearts on the ace queen of dia-
monds. Flayed' in this way, YZ will
only ^lose one spade trick and three
heart tricks at most. It is an interesting
hand and very instructive because it is
a type that comes up so frequently.h
With this kind of hand, don't lead t
queen of spades toward the king. There
is nothing to:gain and if the king is On
your left as in. this hand, you will lose a
trick. Play it out In that way and see
what happens. -
