weak, his partner has bid and re- bld spades and has shown a second suit. Therefore, South is justified in taking the contract to four. In the face of East's bid, and holding four spades to the queen, fack, ten, West hardly can be blamed for doubling the contract,

However, it was the double that gave the situation away and allow- ed Mr. Brown to make his contract.

The Play

The king of diamonds was opened and followed by another diamond. which Brown, in the North, trump- ed. A small heart was played and East went in with the ace. He re- turned another diamond and again Brown trumped.

Declarer now played the jack of hearts and won In dummy with the king. A small trump was played from dummy and West played the queen.

North won the trick with the king. He now led the king of clubs and then a small club, winning In dummy with the queen. At this point, the remaining cards were as follows:

Declarer, now, let the nine of din- monds from dummy and trumped In his own hand with the reven of spades. He re-entered dummy with the ten of clubs,

The losing heart now was led and West was helpless. If he trumped with an honour, Brown would discard the ace of clubs and win the last two tricks with the nco and nine of spades.

However, if West trumped low, Brown then would win two trump tricks and his contrnet would be made.
