IN today's, hand South's Jump Response of two no-trump shows a hand with balanced dis- tribution, stoppers in each of the unbld suits, and a count of 13 to 15 points. In this case, South has 14 points, with the correct balanced distribution, but with sure stoppers in only the black Bults.

South's holding in hearts, al- though not a sure stopper, is long i cnough and strong enough to Justify the response of two nas trump. A player cannot always have the Book" requirement for

bid, and a moderate amount of "stretching" is reasonable enough.

Declarer must play the band properly to make his game con- tract against the normal opening lead of the six of hearts. The correct play is to put up dum- my's ace of hearts at the first trlek.

Declarer can then kneck out the ace of diamonds without fear. If Eas has kept the king of hearts, he will have to win the second round of that sult and then surrender the lead back to declarer.

South should spot the correct play because the heart suit is no threat unless West has Ave of them.
