engineer carefully measured
the exact dosage. Then and

This was the second hand Of

play involving the king of clubs.
Again today the club suit was
the key, to the contract.
Mr.. Heinsite led the ten of
hearts and dummy's queen won.
AT trick two Mr.. Dale led a small
club from the board and it looked
like he had gotten the favorable
break he had hoped for when
Mrs. Fusty promptly played the
king. Actually he had gotten the
worst possible break" because
Mrs. Fusty's play was the only
one to beat the contract.
After winning with the ace of
clubs, Mr.. Dale led small club
toward the jack and Mr.. Helm
site won with the queen. Now
1t was up to the spade finesse
and when that lost, the hand was
down one.
Sadly, Mr.. Dale contemplated
what could have happened if
Mrs. Fusty had not gone UP with
the king of clubs at trick two.
He could have won with the ace
and cashed all of his red suit
winners.
A club lead then would have.
put Mrs. Fusty in, and her forced
spade return would have elm
mated the loser in that suit and
made the contract.
Mrs. Fusty's unlocking play
ut trick two was particularly re-
markable because she saw the
need for 1t so early in the hand.
before anybody knew very much
about the layout Of the cards.
