EASILY FOOLED-
To-day's hand provided some in- teresting fireworks in a recent Dupli- catę game at the Cavendish Club in New York City. At every single table South played the hand at some num- ber of spades, but the contracts varied from four to six. In several instances five spades doubled was made, and at one table South actually bid and made a Small Slam although his opponents held three Aces. A little deception helped.

into thinking that his partner held the Queen. While we claim that East was very naïve, it succeeded. the trick with the club Ace and re- turned a club. Of course South then. won all the rest of the tricks.
The heart return should have been completely obvious, for if Declarer had held the Ace, he would simply have run off dummy's drawn trumps and heart suit. In other words, just plain. common sense should have told East that 'if South had held the Ace of to not have had hearts, he would

Sure enough, West opened a diamond, but South experienced a sinking' feeling as he gazed at the Ace-less dummy.
