marked the king and jack Of

if the correct play would be to
cash the ace of spades and lead
toward the queen. But then, if
the opponents cash two heart
tricks, the contract would be de-
feated. If Slattery cashed the
king and queen Of clubs, dis
carding one of his hearts, he
would be locked in dummy.
He timed the play by going
over to the king of diamonds,
cashing the king and queen of
clubs and discarding heart,
leading a small spade to the ace
and discarding the fourth club
on the good jack of diamonds.
When he led a small spade to-
ward the queen, West could win
with the king; but even though
he put his partner in with the
king Of hearts, and the jack Of
clubs was returned, Slattery
