But suppose both are in the East hand—as they are to-day-his pro- blem then comes as to when he should finesse. In other words, be must watch the timing of the hand,

West's opening lead is the king of hearts, which is won in dummy with the nce. The small heart is returned Immediately and ruffed by the declarer with a small club.

two losing tricks are, the spades, In case both king and queen are in the East hand. That is the worst break that he can expect, so he provides for that break by play- ing the hand in the following

manner:

One round of clubs is taken and then a small diamond is led to dummy's queen. A diamond is re- turned and won with the king. The nine of diamonds then is trumped with the jack of clubs,

A small club is returned, declarer winning with the queen. This picks up the outstanding trump.

South then cashes the ace of dia- monds and now has stripped his own hand and dummy's of every- thing but trump and spades. His play, then, is the jack of spades.

If he returns a heart, declarer will discard the losing spade from

his hand and trump in dummy with the ten of clubs, while if a spado is returned, it is right into dummy's tenace.

The play, comprses a strip and end play with proper timing.
