realise that this band Was overbid," admits a Lynn, Me., correspondent, "but that doesn't bother us, as much as the play of the cards,
"West opened the nine of hearts, dummy mat up the jack, and East made The rather peculiar but bril- lant play of refusing to cover with his king. Declarer led a low trump to his ing and returned a trump to duning's nee, discovering that West was out of trumps.
"Declarer concluded int he de- finitely needed a trump finesse and that he would have to hope for a - break in hearts. He therefore returned trump from dummy, finessed the ten of spades, and drew Furt's last trump. He then entered dummy with the nce of clubs to lett a heart. East played the ten. and Bouth successfully finessed the queen,
"Siner the hearts did not break, however, South had to lure a heart and three d'amonds for a one-trick vrt.
Could declarer make this con• tract by any different line of play?"
I agree with my correspondent that the hand was overbid. How- ever, drelarer should have made his contract.
After winning the first trick with dutamy Jack of hearts, it was to take the corrce for declarer
