By OSWALD JACOBY

HARD LUCK JOE sometimes

gels my sincere sympathy. He manages to pitch a lot of easy hands down the drain, and nobody sheds any tears about those; but he also flubs some really diMcult hands, and then he' gets a sympathetic nod from his filendi.

Take the hand shown today at 'n example, Most average players would miss the point, and even many really good players would land in the red ink. Test yourself by covering up the East-West cards, and see how you would play the land.

West opened the deuce of die- monds, and Joo won with dummy's acc. He immediately. Ied the jack af spades from dummy, and East won with the ace. Kaat continued leading the king of diamonds, and

Joe ruled with the nine of spades.

You will agree with all of Hard

Luck Joe's playst That Just play is the fatal error. It looks quite normal, but South must not ruff that diamond. Look again, and you'll

spot the right play at enen,

South must discard, the jack of heart. This discard costa Chim

nothing, since he is sure to lose the heart trick eventually anyway. The advantage of throwing the trick away now is that when Routh is eventually over-tufted on a diamond, there will Ted through be no more diamonde blm.

East will be unable to regain the lead (because his ars of hearts will no longer be an entry), and South will lose only two trumpe, and the trick that he allowed East to win in diamonds.

When the hand Was actually played, Joe rufted the king 0% camonds with the nine of spades. West over-ruffed with the ten of epades and led a heart to his partner's ace. Now East led another diamond through Joe, and there was no way to prevent West from winning another trump trick,
