The Play.

West opened the king of hearts, For Miss Murdock to win the first triek with dummy's nee 'would be fatal, for he must utilize that entry to complete elimination of the heart suit. Therefore she passed up the first trick, but won the second when West continued with the queen of hearts.

She then returned dummy's last heart at once, ruffing with the jack of spades to avoid a possibility of An over-ruff by West. She then led the ace and king of spades, followed by a small club which West wisely refused to win.

This interfered with Miss Mur- doch's plan to eliminate the club suit from both dummy's and her own hand, for after winning with the king of clubs dummy had only one remaining spade entry and that would be required later for the diamond finesse. However, Miss Murdoch could still demand, assistance from her opponents.

She led A small club from dummy, and of course West won with the ace. He had only dia- monda and clubs remaining and since a diamond lead would cost a trick, he had to return a club, thereby completing the elimina tion of that suit from dummy,

Miss Murdoch trumped and led a small spade to dummy's queen. She returned a small diamond, Anessing the nino and Weat was in the lead with the queen.
