Gerber Bid Aids To Slam
By OSWALD JACOBY
THE Gerber convention
named after its inventor, John Gerber of Houston. It is similar to the Blackwood con- vention except that it uses the bid of four clubs to ask for DCE.

Gerber
Take today's North hand. You орет one diamond and your partner responds one heart. If he has two blank aces you have a alarm. If he has no aces you
can only make four hearts.
