The only contract that can be made against per ect defence is six clubs. Mr. P. Hal Sims and hia partner, B. J. Becker, arrived at a contract of six hearts and Mr. Sims made his contract by watch- ing the deucca and treys.
West's bid of one no trump was, of course, psychic, which was quite obvious to Mr. Sims in the North when he doubled. Ills bid of three the two diamonds. hearts

clearly showed his partner that East and West hold few cardı.
The Play
East's opening lead was the seven of spades and dummy's ten forced West's Jack, Mr. Sims win- ning with the ace. He now took three rounds of hearts, winning the third heart in dummy. Mr. Sims next led the three of spades. from dummy and West played the four. The original opening of the seven of spades by East marked West with the eight, and nine of spades, and when West refused to split those cards and carelessly played the four, Mr. Sims was quick to take advantage of this play and took the trick with the six, proving that it pays to keep track of the small cards as well as the uces and kings.
Now, of course, all that Mr. Sims had to lose was a club trick and WAR his contract of six hearts made,
Most of the pairs attempted to play the hand at no trump, duo to the 150 aces. However, by proper defence, six no trump can be de- feated. The only safe contract is six clubs.
