CONTRACT KEEP UPKEEP DOWN
BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
After a player has once passed, The practically, loses his right to" force. It is an acknowledged fact that the best place to put in a psy-| chic bid is third band.
After a player makes a weak third hand bid and his partner, the original bidder, who had pre- viously passed, makes a one over one force, the third band bidder is not forced to respond. As a matter of fact, he should pass. The danger comes in making any. kind of a re-bid. It is by your re-bid that partner has a right to figure your hand as a strong one. An example of a third hand bid with one over one force .follow- |ing is given here.

The Bidding
South, the denler, does not have the required strength to make an original bid and should pass. West passes. North is third hand- he has two quick tricks, but no biddable suit. While not a particularly good hand, it must not be passed third hand. The question is what to open the bidding with. Personally I pre fer to open with one club, and if. my
partner responds with either major, I will pass.
When this hand was played the North player decided to open with a psychic diamond bid, reasoning that if his partner overcalled with either major he would pass, Thurs., 23rd March midnight.while if partner bid two dia
monds he would try two trump: If the opponents were to play the hand, a diamond open- on the part of his partner world not hurt the hand..

Let us go back to the original third hand bid of one club. East, who has a club overcall himself, would pas the bid. South has fair hand-if his partner has a good hand, there is a possible. chance of going some place on the hand, but if partner has simply made a protective third hand bid, there is certainly no hope on the band.
The best way to gather for mation is to put in a one over one force, therefore South overcalled with one spade, and while North he must remember that he has holds more than normal support,"
opened with a weak hand, To support spades now, or to make any kind of a re-bid would inform his partner that he held a good hand and that there were hopes of going somewhere on the hund.
This is not true with North's cards. He has a hand that, un- der most systems, would be passed third hand-uow he has a chance to make a good part score alone. His proper sign-off de- and should leave well enough
claration is a pass,
The Play.
The heart was opened by West, which was won in dummy with the ace. The ace of diamonds was cashed and then the jack of clubs led. East covered, South winning with the ace. A diamond was ruffed and the ten of clubs returned, East winning with the king. East cashed his queen of hearts. If he now returned a club for partner to ruff, the de- clarer will make three odd, as he will discard his losing heart. If East returns the five of spades the declarer will have to go up with the ace so as to be able to ruff u diamond, but will be held to two odd on the hand.
