that West had opened the bid
ding with a heart and had sup
ported spades.
But this last player realized
that if he bid four spades, the
opponents probably would bid
five diamonds as a sacrifice.
and he was afraid that they
might make the contract.
As a matter If fact, they did
make five diamonds, because
West was not on the Job.
Dummy won the opening
spade lead and the queen Of
clubs was led Declarer let this
ride and East won with the king,
Now East laid down the queen
of hearts, and West very nicely
gave him an encouraging heart,
the e%ight-spot. But of course
East had no more hearts to lead.
He came back with a club,
hoping against hope that his
partner could ruff it.
But North won with the ace,
ruffed a spade in dummy, pick
ed up the trumps. and discarded
two hearts on the good clubs.
Thus he confined his losses to a
club and a heart.
West should have realized that
his partner did not have very
many hearts. He should have
overtaken the queen OF hearts
with the king in order to cash
the ace and make sure of de-
feating the contract with a
second heart trick plus a heart
ruff.
