A BAD PERFORMANCE

West could not be praised for his defense in the following hn.nd'

Southts opening bid was in itself so liwht that he should have been very content to pass over East's three hearts. Then, since North had nready indicated club length, he might well have decided to double three hearts. and North-South could have set that contract at least 500, possibly 700. points.

The bidding:

South !I'eIct North East 1 Q Pass 3 Q '4 Q 3 NT Pius Fun Fun Defending: against the actual

three-notriiimp contract, West open- ed the four of hearts. Du.mmy's queen was played, and East won with the ace and continued with ihe heart jack. South was sure that East had at least a six-card nult, so he trink the seennd heart, trick, then led A dinninnd to the klniz and played a low club from the table with the intention of passing the trick to West. When East fol- lowed suit with the low club. Smith put in his own ten, and West won with the jack.

West. could have struck a valiant defensive blow bv lezidimz back ii diamond, but Mr reasons of his own he preferred the "safer" exit. of 9. club. South promptly ran the club suit. discarding a low spade and the low heart from his own hand. and West made a very bad decision, Apparently, he was gm. pressed by the fact that declarer had discarded a spade and held onto diamonds, or perhaps he had 50m" Nrhtr m5'5lErlOllS reason. but In em event. West held tightly to ill; diamonds and in so doing he had in relinquish two spades.

That was all South needed. It was possible. of course, that East had the spade king, but West's reluctance to shift to spades (after getting in with the club jack) signified possession of the king. and anyway, South couldn't make the hand except by stealing an extra spade trick, So he now led A low spade from the board. The outcome was that South made it trick over contract. - after West's king was knocked out. dummy!
