On the second the contract, diamond he realized that, if he discarded the deuce of spades, the declaror would be able to throw him in and force him to lead a heart and, as East had not play- ed apades, he reasoned that ha partner, North, must hold the jack of spades.
South, therefore, let go bis queen of spades. On the seven of diamonds East discarded a spade and South dropped the threa of hearts. The three of clubs next was played. East won with the ace and South completed his nent unblocking play by dropping the king of apades.
There now was no play that' East could make which would al- low him to make his contract, as North was bound to get in with the Jack of spades. Thus, North and South cashed three hearts
What is tho correct bidding on this band? It North and Bouth have the contract in hearts, how, should the hand be played with a club open- ing to produce the greatest number of tricks?
