It is true that by taking both tinesses. the heart and the spade. South had I mathematical change or 8-1 lin his favor. but it he had given more thought to the bidding. he might have discovered.the line of play which was about 997; sure:

West. who had anown the A-K ot clubs. had passed originally, and had passed again over one diamond. Titus. although he might have the spade queen, he was certainly not apt to have the king ot heartsl In any event south was in a position to do some checking-up. and to in- crease his chances substantially. The logical plan was to lead I trump t.o dummy and run tne club jack. With East falling to produce the club queen. that card use would be marked with West. and now South could be sure that the heart kin: was olislde. so the com- mon-sense move was to cash the heart are and lead the heart queen. East, thrown in. would eio lher have to lead a spade to dum- mys lenace. or. by returning a heart or club, give South R rut!- and-discard.
