Pass Pass Dbl. All pass
He opened the bidding with
four spades today to make it
difficult for his opponents to find
their best spot. He was happy
to hear Mrs. FuSty branch out
with a bid in his five-card Sec
ondary suit and happier still
when Mr.. Abel doubled it.
He won the first trick with
the ace Of spades. If he had led
another spade at trick two Mr.
Abel could have ruffed and run
of four heart tricks. Later Mrs,
FuSty would have had to lose a
trick to the 10 Of diamonds for
Q humping five-trick set.
But Mr.. Dale did not lead a
second spade and the reason was
hat Mrs. Fusty promptly dropped
the king at trick one. Mr.. Dale
fell for this piece Of deception,
figured the king was a singleton
and shifted to the deuce of clubs.
The pattern of play continued
Its crazy course when Mrs.
FuSty played a small club from
dummy and ruffed in her hand.
She then started leading her top
diamonds and Mr.. Dale could
see what was coming. He would
be thrown in with the fifth lead
Of diamonds and would have
nothing left but spades.
He would undoubtedly be per-
mitted to win with the queen of
spades, but would then have to
put dummy in with the jack.
Since the two top clubs were still
there. Mrs. Fusty would get three
fast discardS.
Mr.. Dale was determined to
avoid being put In that position.
He was willing to give up his
sure trump winner so that even
tually Mrs. FuSty would have
to lead hearts to Mr.. Abel. Ac-
cordingly he played his top dia-
monds first. After four leads he
had the deuce left.
Mrs. Fusty picked up the
deuce with a fifth diamond lead.
Now, to Mr.. Dale's CONSERVATION,
she calmly laid the deuce Of
spades on the table and he was
end-played after all. He could
do no better than win with
the queen and return a spade
to dummy's jack.
On the trump leads Mr.. Abel
had been forced to make four
diScards. Since he was so proud
Of his hearts and so sure that
there was no way for Mrs. Fusty
to reach the dummy, he had
thrown away clubs. Mrs. Fusty
had discarded four hearts and
a small club from the board.
Therefore, when Mr.. Dale gall
lantly gave dummy the lead with
the jack Of spades, there were
enough good cards there to pro-
vide diScards for all four of the
hearts from the closed hand.
Mr.. Dale had been unwilling
to accept a mere one-trick set
earlier in the hand. Now he
found himself in the position of
not setting the contract at all.
