At this point, the defence varied among the different tables, but the best West players nerepted their spade queen and prompty forced dummy by lading another dia mond. Now dummy was reduced to one trump and the club sult still was far fron established
Two or three declarers minile the best possible effort at recovery by leading a low club and finessing to the ten spot on the first round. Hud this finesse held, they would have beru in good shape, since they then could have led a low spade to the len, returned a heart to the aco,, drawn West's Inst trump, and then rattled off the club suit
But, to their individual and rol- lective disgust, West ruffed the club ten and it was all over. A spade return row left these de- elurers with the entire heart suit to handle and no trump in dunmy with which to ruif. One fuming declarer lost three heart tricks, another only two, but in no case were ten tricks made on the hund.
