Emory) Clement of Baltimore. Mary always pretended that she knew nothing about the play of the dummy when actually she was one of the very best! Her opening spade bid was correct by 1931 standards. It would still be correct today. East's two-heart overcall improved North's hand so Louis Watson, another great player of the early '30s who sat North, cue bid in hearts and then jumped to the spade slam. West opened the jack of diamonds.

Mary won the dummy's king, drew trumps with two leads and played dummy's jack of clubs. There was no harm trying to sneak the king in if East did hold the club ace but West produced that card and continued with the queen of clubs. Mary ruffed, led a heart and finessed dummy's queen after West carefully played the 10. Then she proceeded to run out dummy's trumps. Since she had ruffed a club earlier she was able to discard a heart on dummy's last trump.

By this time West had run out of discards. He had to hold on to the king and jack of hearts and was forced to let a diamond go in order to do this. Mary made the last four tricks with dummy's ace of hearts and her ace, queen and six of diamonds. She smiled at Watson and asked, "Was that a squeeze?" (Newspaper Enterprise Assn.) 12 bidding has been: West North East South Pass 1 Pass You, South, hold: AKJ4 VQ1076 What do you do now? four hearts. This bid shows a balanced hand with four hearts.
