Solution to Pre- ylOus Contract Problem

WAS back In Cleveland for the holidays and ran across my old friend. Phil Leon. It has been my great pleasure to present to my readers, from time to time. some of Leon's phenomenal hands. and naturally my first question was, Phil. have you good one in your pocket?"
 At the time, he was feeling little gloomy. as he had just lost the Greater Cleveland Champion ship by a fraction of a point. He did say that he had played an in. tercstlng hand between the two sessions. In a rubber game.
 He said, My partner and I ar rived at sveen bid and here's how l made it." By the way, the bidding as given here is the way believe 1t should be bid by those using the one over one.
 The Play
 The six of diamonds was opened small diamond was played from dummy. East played the ten. and Leon, sitting In the South. won the trick with the king. He hen led a small heart and won in dum- my with the jack. Two more rounds of hearts were taken. West dis. carding a spade, dummy dla- mond.
 Leon then led spade and won

in dummy with the ace. The ace of diamo onds was cashed and then the king of spades. A small spade was returned. East discarding Il diamond, Leon ruffing with the six of hearts.
 This brings the hand down to five cards. Leon's next play was the ace of hearts. West let go of club, and so did dummy. Esat discarded the jack of diamonds.
 Now the triple squeeze card was played. the eight of hearts. West had to hold the queen fo spades, otherwise dummy's seven would be good; so he discarded a club. The seven of spades was discarded from dummy. tst
 East now found himself squeezed. He couldn't let go tbe queen of diamonds. otherwise declarer's eight spot would be good. So, when he discarded club, Leon won the last three tricks. playing the king of cubs and then small one to dummy's two good clubs. thereby making hls grand slam. Copyright, 1895. NEA Service. Inc.
