The dealer wins the odd trick.
ILLUSTRATIVE HAND NO. 32
Trick 1.—B’s play of the jack denies the ace, which must be with the dealer.
Trick 2.—Should A allow the queen of hearts to win this trick, his re-entry card would be taken out before his suit is cleared. He must overtake his partner’s card in order to establish the suit.
Trick 4.—The dealer hopes that the ace of clubs is with B, as this would shut out A’s heart suit.
OVERTAKING BY THE ADVERSARY
It is the second game, score twenty-four to nothing against the dealer. Z, the dealer, makes it “no-trump.”
