Of course, the contract can be defeated, double dummy, but let's look over the line of play ns given by Mayer and see if you do not think that it would win against the majority of players.

When the nce of hearts in opened, the declarer ruffs in dummy with The three of spades. Now, instead of trying to return to his hand to ruff the hearts, he leads a stall spade. South will split his honours and play the jack, and it will hold the trick.
