East winning with the ace. East led
back the jack to establish the suit, hav-
ing the next two high cards in
sequence. Dummy upon winning led a
spade, which put South in with the
lone king. With queen and small clubs
in dummy, the balance of the tricks
went, Of course, to North and South,
and gave them small slam on the

As to be seen had East switched to

allay suspicion that "freak" was in

whom the hand was exhibited were
unanimous in agreement that a heart
at the second trick was the only play
consistent with good auction.
South's action in concealing his club
holdings, which, for all he knew, nigh,
have given him game, was purely spec
ulative, and any success attained did
not necessarily indicate good auction
judgment.
The same subject is continued in the
following hand, recently played at q
local club, in which the same specu.
lative element is clearly marked:
