South and West passed. Mrs. Sims in the North bid one heart. East doubled, and South bid two hoarta. West passed: Mrs. Simas. passed. East bid two no trumps. Wost carried the contract to three, The Play
Now, after Mrg, Sims has open- ed the bidding with a heart and East has gone to game in no trumps, South definitely knows not to open a heart. Mrs. Sims, who has no high hearts and whose paychic heart bid was assisted by her partner, realizes that her best defence when she gets in will be to lead a heart.
So when South made a short suit opening and led the five of diamonds, Mrs. Sims won with the king and returned the nine of hearts. The declarer finessed the queen. South wor with the king. and returned the heart, knocking out East's ace,
Now, before the declarer can go home, he must establish a club.
