Mr. Halpin then showed the ace of hearts by a bid of four hearts, South bid five spades and Mr. Halpin went to seven.
The Play.
· East's opening lead
was the king of hearts which Mr. Halpin the North won with the ace. He immediately saw that he muali get a break in clubs or diamonds in order to get a heart discard, so, he decided to try for the club suit and led the ace and king of clubs followed by small club, ruffing the third club in dummy.
East discarded a heart.
When he found that he had a bad break in clubs. Mr. Halpin could not try to establish the dia- mond suit with a ruff, as that would bring him to three trump in each hand, so he was forced to depend upon a squeeze.
He led the eight of spades from dummy and won in his owni hand with the nine. He led an- other club, trumping in dummy with the ace of spades. The jack of spades was returned from dummy and won by Mr. Halpin with the king.
