Then it would have been North who became , and with the Lead going up to the North hand Tipiere would have been extremely smooth sailing West opened his fourth High est Spade. Dummy s Queen was played and East without tiie Flicker of an eyelash played thesis spot South immediately led and passed the Diamond Jack losing to West s Queen. West now continued with Spades an South was squarely on the spot should he play Dummy s ten or. King South knew very Well that West an expert would give him this same guess if he had the Ace of Spades so after fruitless cogitation South put up the Spade King. When East Smoth ered that card with the Ace and returned a Spade West Raa enough tricks to defeat the contract there is no denying that South had a difficult guess in the Spade suit on West s second Lead but this guess would not have come up if South had handled the Diamond suit properly. It was quite Correct to Lead the Diamond Jack from Dummy to coax East to Coyer if he could but when the Diamond Queen did not appear South should have gone right in with the Ace and the Laid Down the Diamond King. This would constitute a safety play it would to least insure that West could not get in with the Singleton or double ton Queen of West had three or More diamonds to the Queen there was nothing South could do about it South did not have to worry about East getting in with the Diamond Queen since that defender could not set up.
