CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney,
Secretary. American Bridge League.
Under the writer's system of contract bidding, you will find very few original suit bids of two.
An original two-bid shows powerhouse hand and demands that partner keep the bidding open unt!!] a game-going declaration is arrived at even though he has a trickless hand; og, the original bidder bids two hearts. You, holding nothing, will respond with two no trump,
Partner then says three dia- monds. You are still required to keep the bidding open. If you can not support diamonds, bid three no trump. If partner then bids four clubs, you will have to either bid four no tramp or support one of the three suits he has named. Of courae, the naming of three sults in a very rare thing, but the ex- ample is given to show you that the bidding must continue until the final declaration is a game- going contract.
Requirements For Forcing Two-bid.
Original two no trump bids are not forcing bids and have been ex- plained in previous articles.
Original two of a suit bids must show & hand so strong that it con- tains five to six quick tricks. But oven this number of quick tricks

"Beneath the rule of man entirely great The pen is mightier than the sword." Since the Great War Britons have changed their attitude towards commerce We have not yet, and it is no longer considered a social handicap to be in trade,
The idea of boosting however, become reconciled to modern advertising methods. anything offends our sporting taste. In games we are taught to look as though we had lost when we have won and vice versa. Study the faces of four Britishers leaving a tennis court on the completion of a-tournament game and you will find the winners.. trying to look miserable while the losers wear a pseudo-grin. Steeped in a tradition of this sort it is difficult to cultivate that aggressive spirit Indicative of good salesmanship. Needs must when the devil drives so let us shed our false modesty Fortunately and tell the world in no uncertain terms how wonderful are our goods.
it is not necessary to boost (vile word) Messrs. C. C. Wakefield & Co. the well known Their Castrol and other, lubricating all-British firm of lubricating oil Manufacturers.
oils have so much to their credit on the highway, the byway, the airway and the fairway that their quality is unassailable. These oils are literally but not metaphorically cheap. Being British they are sold by the Imperial gallon of 9 lbs. while other Companies here sell by the American or wine gallon of approx. 71⁄2 lbs.-a difference of 20%. Castrol gives you the correct quality and quantity. We have the privilege of being the sole Distributors for Messrs. Wakefield in Hong Kong and South China.
