Opening Lead Assures Slam

By OSWALD JACOBY

THERE is very little excuse for

getting to six spades in the hand shown today, and

this over-ambitious contract should normally be defeated with care. South should be content with a contract of four spades since he has a somewhat stretched two- bid and his partner could not make a positive response.
