Mr. Roof next clsked the king of spades, followed by the ace of hearts. Á small heart then was led and won a dummy with the jack. The ace of spades was played and then ten of hearts dia- carded-if a club had been dis- carded the contract would have been defented.
Mr. Ruof now played the king. of hearts from dummy. If South had trumped, Mr. Roof would have over-trumped, picked up the out- sbanding trump, and then led a club, which North would have! been forced to win with the queen. This would have established dummy's jack.
However, South refused· trump and discarded a club, Mr. Roof did the same. The queen of hearts then was led from dummy! and South discarded a spade.
