THE SUNDAY CALL. 13 0SE FOR (HILDREN — R R T S re— N ) (/[ U8 Q& AR rounds affords a reasomable expeciawiv. of exhausting the adverse hands at once. King—The king is led only from suits exactly of four and is always accomp: nied when 80 led by ace or queen, or both. The king Is followed by the lowest of the head sequence which contalns it. If the suit consists of ace, king and two others, not including the queen, the ace should be the second lead. In trumps the king leads are the same as in plain suits, with the exeception that when the king is accompanied by one honor only the sult is opened with the lowest, or fourth best card. Queen — When led from ace, king. queen or king, queen and others, the queen denotes the presence of the king and five at least In the suit. In the first case more precise information is af- forded by the following: In suits of five exactly, the continuation is with the ace; with more than five, the king is led on the second round. If the queen, being played from king, queen and others, wins, the ace is marked with partner, and the fourth best should be led to enable him to make it and clear the suit. Jack—The jack is led from suit of five or more which embrace the great major or tierce to king. In the first case, with exactly five, the jack Is followed by ace; with six, by king, and with a greater num- ber by queen. The play in trumps is the same as in plain suit. The ten is now led from queen, jack, ten. From all combinations other than those mentioned the fourth best card of the suit is the proper opening, the continuation being regulated by the fall to the first trick. North, cuioe vasuws us e suis remaln with Bast and South. West 0 piaces the king or queen with East, tor South has neither, or he would have played one of them Instead of the ace, and North has not both or he would have led the king. East cannot have both, or he would have played one second hand. East and South cannot tell how many cards North had in the suit, for they canneot place the three or four. Trick 2—South leads the fourth best from ace and four other clubs. From the fact ‘that Sguth does not return his @artner's suir, but leads the three of clubs, the other players infer that he has no more diamonds or that he has fair strength in trumps and considers it ad- visable to play his own sutt, which must be fairly strong. - West observes that East must have three diamonds if South has no more Trick 3.—East has falr strength in dia- monds, North's suit, a good club, singly guarded, in South’s suit, and fair strength in trumps. His partner probably has some strength in the third suit, and quite likely something in clubs. His partner has the king of trumps turned. East leads trumps to protect his strength in the opponent’s suits. Trick {.—West has not four trumps or he would have played the ace at trick three, an echo. North and South observe that East led from four trumps, unless he Is holding up the two. If the two is not held up that is the only trump West has left. Trick 5.—West sees that East must have led trumps on his strength in the other suits giving him credit for something In spades. Fearing that East might be tempted to lead through the club suit up to North’s probable weakness, West leads the king of spades to show his strength before returning the trump. Trick 6.—East has the last trump, the ten. Trick 7.—East must play the nine of spades for his partner's sult, West can hardly refuse the jack finesse. If he falls he will still make the ace, If hig z partner has another spade, the eight or WTEALTHY the seven; but if his partner has not an- CHILD other spade, he may lose the ace, yet In H.-9, 8, 3. that case he will block the adversary In C—A.

A East and West 6, North and South 7. losing finesse would probably lose but Trick 1.—West observes that North has one trick—it may not lose that—the ace led from a four-card suit and that only of clubs. On the other hand a successful finesse will make two tricks and East 5 will then be compelled to use his last trump on a club. East can have at most only one more spade, the elght, and it is only an even chance at the best that he has that. If he has another spade, West can make only one in that suit, when he must lead diamonds; but if he has ne more spades he must lead up to North's diamond suit.
