The most colourful player, was M.. S. "Red" Reilly, who still runs 11 bridg: club In Chicago. One of "Red's greatest pssels was his abil- ty to play fast. I asked him once if he was not nirald of dropping a trick....... or two when he played so fast, and he replied. "There is only one of me and tivo of any opponents. They will. make twice as many mistakes as I will."
Today's hand came up in Reilly's club. South was not worried about his contract of three hearts doubled,. but you will be shocked to learn thaj he took only five tricks.
He ruffed, the opening diamond lead, then cashed the ace, ding, queen and jack of hearts. Over- looking the fact that East had never played a heart, South led the ace of spades. Reilly (West) trumped it, "and laid down seven diamond tricks..
Grinning from ear to ear, Rellly said, "Four-odd was ico cold. All declarer had to do was to, let me cash the first three diamonds, then ruff the fourth diamond in dummy, pick up my trumps and cash the rest for four-odd."
