The dealer makes a small slam.
ILLUSTRATIVE HAND NO. 4
Trick 1.—To win the game the king of hearts must be in B’s hand and the lead must be arranged so that Y can lead the jack of hearts toward the ace queen. To make an entry card in Y’s hand, Z throws his king of diamonds on the ace.
Trick 2.—A would like to change the suit, but, undoubtedly, the diamond is his best lead.
ARRANGING THE LEAD
It is the rubber game, score eight to twenty-four against the dealer. Z, the dealer, declares Hearts.
