But North got into the action and South became Declarer at four Spades doubled. Sitting East and West were Brian Glubok and Edgar Kaplan of new York. West led the four of Spades. East Rose with the Ace and returned the suit and Declarer played the King from hand letting the second Spade ride to the eight would have saved a trick. A club was conceded to East and the nine of Trumps removed Dummy a last Ruffer while Locking Declarer in hand. As a result South could score no More than his five Trump tricks yielding a penalty of 1,400 Points. Another Declarer to play in four Spades doubled was Jerry Clerkin of North Vernon ind. He received a heart Lead and made full use of that gift and subsequent Slipshod defense. Dummy a Jack was inserted and East a King ruffed away. The nine of clubs was won by East who shifted to a Low Trump to Declarer a King. A club Ruff served As an entry to Dummy to Cash two High hearts Declarer discarding two diamonds from hand. Declarer came to hand with a heart Ruff ruffed a second club with the tables last Trump then led the three of hearts.
