The opening lead was the
king Of diamonds, q low card
was played from the board. and
Mr.. Heinsite went into q huddle.
A mental review Of his own
hand and the dummy convinced
him that Mr.. Abel could not
possibly have an entry into
clubs or spades. Mr.. Muzzy
had to have the ace Of spades
and the king-queen Of clubs for
his opening bid.
The only chance for Mr.. Abel
to get in to run his diamonds
lay In the heart suit. II he held
the queen Of hearts there would
be no problem. But if he held
something like three to the 10,
1t was necessary for Mr.. Helm
site to move his ace and king
out of the way at once.
Accordingly he dropped the
king Of hearts at trick one. Mr..
Abel then led the 10 Of dia-
monds. dummy's ace won. and
MFR. Heinsite bravely discarded
the ace Of hearts.
Mr.. Muzzy now saw nine
tricks If the spade finesse
worked. He cashed three clubs
and Mr.. Abel discared q dia-
mond on the third round Of
the suit. Mr.. Muzzy laid doWn
the ace Of spades, then the
six. Here Mr.. Abel had to
make another discard. He had
to keep all three Of his hearts
to stop that suit so he dropped
another diamond.
Muttering about his bad luck,
