The Play.

West has only one opening-his fourth best club which in the five pot. The six is played from dun

If East were now to play the queen of clubs and follow with the king, West would have a per- feet right to figure his partner for another club.

The correct play is for East to tell his partner that he holds but two clubs and instead of playing the queen, he should play the king which will hold the trick. He then lends the queen of clubs. This shows out and inform partner that he holds no more clubs. When South, the declarer, plays the four, the careless West player might follow with the three of clubs and it would then be a simple matter for the declarer to go game.

n

The clever play now that West knows that East holds no more clubs is to overtake his partner's queen with the nee of clubs and immediately lead the 10 of clubs before he loses his ace of hearts re- entry. Dummy will discared small heart, East a small spade, and South may as well take the trick with the jack of clubs.
