Game Made By Conceding A Trick..
By OSWALD JACOBY TODAY'S hands taken from "Vital Tricks," a collection of 62 instructive hands, by the great Boston expert Frank Perkins. West leads the king of diamonds and continues' the sult until South ruffs the third round. How shouldt South then continue in order to make his contract?
A
South should expect to find the king of clubs in the West hand, Hence a finesse would merely allow West to capture the queen or jack of clubs with the king.
Instead of trying a club finesse, South leads a low club towards durny immediately. (It would be about equally good to eash the see of clubs first.)
If West takes the king of clubs, South has no further trouble. Declarer can draw trumps and get to dummy with the king of hearts eventually to discard losing hearts on the queen and jack of clubs.
West can prevent this by re- fusing to take the king of clubs. This limits South to two club tricks,
Now, however, South has no club loser. He can
his minke contract if he can limit the lous in hearts to one trick. This cen be done if each opponent hos three hearts, but South should not rely on such good luck.
The correct play in to concedo a low heart to the enemy ut once. South can win any re- furt, drew Iwo roundy of Trumps with the king and ace,

A bachelor, who

Serenity tops the list. He finda the "bottled lightning" type exhausting. They act jas if they dare not let down for a minute, he explained.
