The last trump was now led.
West could not discard a club since then
Mr. Bowie would simply lead a low club to the King and finesse for East's Queen. Accordingly West dropped the Ace of diamonds. Mr. Bowie now let the eight of spades go from dummy and East in turn was squeezed since he had either to throw the last-high diamond or unguard the Queen of clubs.

V. C. Bond, who spoiled many of Recreio's most determined attacks, was the outstanding player for Club. Benwell saved several hard drives.
J. Gosano and J. Gonsalves, at back for Recreio, combined well to check Club's many determined raids in the ́first half, while the two wing-halves, R. Marques and A. Alves, were also

W. A. Reed, in the pivotal position was very impressive. He distributed well and kept B. T. Gosand, the Recreio centre-forward, well in check.
