While problems of this nature may seem very simple io ilio expert mathe-matlelan, they are sometimes very contusing to the average person, the dllfl. culty being to explain the toason for a thinn that la comparatively ohvloua. Kvety one knows that a left hand propeller will throw a motor boat slightly off its eouise to port, but why should it do so? A similar question that gives rig to a Kreat deal of argument is the direction that would le taken by a bullet if fire from tli rear of a train that was moving forward at the same speed as the Initial velocity of Hie bullet, supposing such a thli ik nets posgtbtg.

So matter what does, he must give A two spade -tricks, or let make a trieii with the Jack of diamonds and lead a spade. t'nfortunately there is a much simpler nd lea attractive solution, which ia for to start with either of the red suits, and let make hi two sure tricks In those suits at once. If leada the diamond, wins Willi the king and leads the queen of hearts, following with the trump. the second round of trumps. discards the eight of diamonds and puts A in the lead with the losing heart, forcing him to lead away from the king and len of self in a quandary at the end of hi trans -paoes.

Among the many letters so far reoolved by TitR Bun. there la not one which aaya that the nullo hav been tried and abandoned. It will not require more than an hour's experience with tha now declarations, provided there la at leaat one peraon at the table who know eomethlng of the bidding tactics and play, to convince any peraon that there 1 more fun In the nul-loa than In any other declaration in the game.

It la notorious that although akat has more varlet'ca to It than any other game of card your true akat player would sooner play initios than eat. The Joy of making a iraon win four or fite tricaa mat ne is trying nis ocsi to lose Is something that must he experienced to be believed. While those who liae played knt or boston have an advantage in their knowledge of the way dangerous suits should be managed the tactics and the conventions he has learned In thoae game apply to the single player against two or three opponents The exposed dummy and the necessity of getting rid of dangerous carda In two hands, which mug be played In combination, opena up a new field, which baa Interest of It own. One of the moat common tricks In playing a partnership game against a nullo declaration la In getting the dummy hand skinned down to his long ault aa soon aa you And that you are able to put him Into the lead on that suit. While It la true that thla situation doea not arlae In ever' hand the student of tactics should know how to take foil advantage of it when it dos aiise.

There are times when It 1 the declarer and not the dummy that can be counted dowu for a long ault that la not absolutely safe. The difficulty with the declarer's hand Is to dlecover how many cardp he holds in the other suits and at Juat what atage In the proceedings he ll be at your mercy. When the weak spot at which the adversaries direct their attack Is In the exposed hand the declarer must take steps to piotect his dummy from being stripped of all Its defence so that It cannot get rid of th lead. There are times when thla la practically Inipoealblr. provided th adversaries play their carda well, but It takee a pair of pretty shrewd partner to defeat a sound nullo call.

Here la an example of the manner In which two players who are wide awake to the situation and who know Just what has to be done and how to do It may take advantage of an exposed hand and kill It, In aplte of anything the declarer ean do to protect it I but It roust be observed that the mallet slip In the attack would let the declatation go through io a th king and have th ault don with at once by leading another round, discard-tha ten of heart from hi own hand. On the email heart from dummy, get rid of Use club queen, and A or would have fo win tha reat. This would hav let off with a loss of only one trick on hla contract, but B'a hrwdea In overtaking both the pade and the heart at th critical moments In the play cost Juat three trlcka. When an adveraary la marked with tha mall card of the declarer' or the dum my' long suit, one aomettmea aeea too great an anxiety to keep that player out of the lead. Instead of atopplng to consider what damage he can do with the 1 email card.

It is not an easy matter to trip a dummy down to one suit without losing the lead and at the aame time defeat the contract, and although the play may make a difference of only one trick It la worth aavlng If there la no great danger from the small card that la against the declaration.

If atill holda the spade Jack can lead the queen, bringing down the king, ace and Jack, and leaving in the lead with the nine, which will be high.

Here ia a little problem in trump management which may furnish a useful lea-son to the beginner, a will aa a teat of skill for the expert.

The first ball were mad of leather of untanned biiU'a hide, two round piece forming the end and another for the middle. These piece were softeged. shaped and firmly aewed together, a small hole being left through which the feathers might afterward be Inserted. Before stuffing the leather sphere was turned outalde In ho that the aeams would be on the Inside. The akin was then placed in a cup shape stand the worker all the while having the feather In an apron before him, and the stuffing was done with a ateel rod.

The aperture waa then losed and tha seam aewed and only thla tiny aoam waa left to be seen. T. life of each ball waa very short. After a short time of play the seams would rip and tha feathers would protrude. When tha ball waa uaed on a wet day water would apurt out each time tha ball was atruck.

But before making thi play It I necea-aary to str4i Z'a hand of all the other aulta or he will simply exhaust the diamonds and then throw the lead by playing hearts or apadea. he problem for A and therefore. Is not only to get dummy's hand down to nothing except diamonds but to arrange for A to be In the lead ao that he can play diamond when the proper time come. A started with the Interior heart, the IUIMi ducked It with the six and put on the king.

Now A ha a nice little problem before him. If he takes out dummy's last spade and leaves hltn with the trey or hearts, inakea hla contract If he la not obliged to win the heart trlok when dummy loads th mall one, a need not win mora than on diamond.

A knew from his bid that 7. must have a long spade suit, and as A holds the deuce of that ault himself his gutne is to keep It, although It ia his abort suit, until he can clear hla partner's hand of apadea. If has any high ones. A started with the are and king of clubs, and then led a third round, getting the spade queen from hi partner. Till gave A a chance to coax a spade dlacard from dummy, the discards from Z's hand being of no consequence, ao A led a fourth round or cluba.

upon which dummy Incautiously discarded the apade king, aa A hoped he would, and dropped the nine. discarding the Jack of diamonds. 'Now If the Jack i th highest diamond in the declarer's hand muat hold the ace and queen, so A leada the ten. The ace wins th trick, and then who has begun to aee through his partner's scheme, return the Interior seven of hearts, upon which A puta the aoe. Now th ace and deuce of spade force the declarer Into the lead, compelling him tu win aix atraight trlcka and setting hla contract for 400 point.

There la only one way out of this trap for and that la to keep both of dummy' apade. Whether any player would be likely to do auch a thing la doubtful, although It can be reasoned out that it is the only safe play. Let be ready to win the second round of apadea whenever they are led and then play the eight or hearts, having dlacardad the Jack of hearts on the fourth club and put th ton undtr th ace. and those two tricks are alt that can be made to win. This would have given him five by card doubled, Instead of loalni, 400 point.

There are many altuatloha In which a player who Is led through will be In doubt aa to whether to put on hla high card or to duck the trick and take a chance of not being put In on that ault at all. A six four deuce Is certain to lose every trick If led up to, but If led through It may win two. When the player cannot Infer th dlatributlon of the ault there la usually some other conatderatlon that will direct him, If lie will only atop and think It over.
