Unlucky swing for six spades in mixed play
In a six spades contract North South held 10 trumps and nine high card points. West opened diamonds, but many players faced misdefended hearts. Jacoby notes a swing play with a king in diamonds that yielded a favorable top score, while a fire at Taylor's Riding Stable disrupted Frederick activity, as crews fought a barn fire on the Shookstown road. A tropical storm named Janice was declared a few days earlier, the season's 10th disturbance off Cuba, with the system tracking westward.
