may make, though it may be strictly
in act lord with principles? Thus will
be destroyed that spirit of co-operation
which is so essential in all partnership
games, and. lacking which, each player
must virtually play his own hand
alone.
One of the prettiest leads for con
veying Information is the lead of ace
at once followed by king. This lead
shows nil more of the suit and the
ability Co ruff the next round. It
therefore directs one's partner to get
in the lend and lead the suit as quickly
as possible, for unless the inferences be
made effective In the early stages, the
declarer may secure the lead and have
one or more rounds of trumps, thus
perhaps destroying the player's ability
to ruff. When a player makes such
lead, having this object In view, his
endeavor should be at once to put his
partner In the lead, and, lacking -any
definite inferences perhaps conveyed by
bids as to what his partner may or may
not hold. It is often a matter of chance
as to whether he accomplisifes this end.
On principle, however, a good suit to
lead is a suit in" which the dummy has
strength, broken strength, as, if it ac
complishes nothing else it at least en
ables one's partner to play after the
strong player and thus gives him the
benefit of position. Such suit, there
fore, barring anything more definite on
the subject, is usually a good one to
lead.
The following hand recently brought
to my attention fully illustrates these
principles, and. shows how if there be
complete co-operation between part
ners, comparatively weak hands can
often be made to serve an effective use.

Thinking it possible, however, the lead
of the 10 may better serve his partner's
hand, he leads the 10 rather than
small card. As it turns out A could
lead nothing better than diamonds.
Dummy plays small and B, per force,
wins 10 with Jack. Had the dummy
king been once or twice guarded only,
Z most likely would have covered the
10, but with the number of diamonds
the dummy holds it seems unnecessary
to sacrifice the king, as it will un
doubtedly' be in command at a later
stage. And so indeed it turns out. but
it is too late to be of benefit to the
side. Whether or not king be played to
the trick the result is the same. B in
any event will take the trick and re
main in control. - . -
Trick 4. B in response to his part
ner's - request leads a club which A
trumps, leading at trick 6, another dia
mond which B wins with queen.
Trick 6. B makes sure of his dia
mond ace and at trick 7 has another
club round. He knows that declarer
as well is now void of clubs, but he
hopes his partner may overtrump him,
which- in reality proves to be the case.
Z puts up the nine of trumps rather
than ace or queen, hoping it will hold
the trick or at least force .the king
which will doubtless be good for a trick
in any event. To his( discomfiture A
wins with jack.
Trick 8. A now leads a spade and Z
wins all the remaining tricks but one,
which B wins with the king of trumps,
hearts.

Trick 1. B, who now is the player
to lead, the highest of his three-card
spade sequence, queen. The dummy
wins with king and at trick 2 leads the
queen of diamonds (trumps) won by
B with ace. As the dummy shows the
command, both of -spades and hearts, B,
realising:-the Importance of his side
making ; their t-tricks early, shifts the
lead and at trick 3 leads his highest
club, hoping his partner may win the
trick. It goes,'-however, -to declarer,
who at trick 4 'has another round of
trumps exhausting the other players
and himself remaining with five. What
ever he leads now is Immaterial. The
dummy holds four commanding -cards
and all he, declarer, has to do is to dis
card his four losing cards on these
tricks and then make his remaining
trumps. A hand of this nature should
convince even the most skeptical of the
great value of the overcall, be it made
in a major or a minor suit, when In
both cases the suit contains five jr
more cards to an honor, and in the
for a no-trump. A singleton ace, it may
be remarked, is a great asset at a
tramp declaration, but often a serious
obstacle at no trump.
