CONTRACT KEEP UPKEEP DOWN QUEEN'S
BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
It must be remembered that in the constructive one
over ene
system of contract bidding there are many forcing bids employed nat used in other systems.
For example, the dealer opens with one heart and partner jumps to three hearts. This is a forcing: bid, asking partner either to go to three no trump or to bid for game in hearts.
Ajump from one heart to four hearta ik not a sign-off bid-it clearly states that the assisting hand believes that at least five odd can be made and with addi- tional strength in the original

bidder's hand, he is inviting a slam.
If the original bidder opens with one heart and his partner jumps to two no trump, this also is a forcing bid.
However, there are times when it becomes necessary to deviate from any rule in contract bridge to obtain the best result, and if a player will stop and think before making a mechanical book hid, he will find the game much more in- teresting.
Here is a
hand in which the pair playing it not only failed to arrive at a grand slam, but failed to bid for the small glam.
The Bidding
South, the dealer, opened the passed. The North and South pair contracting with one heart, West were using the constructive one- over one system of bidding.
After, South's bid of one heart. North had a perfect picture of the hand. Where are the three high

Peking, Mar. 22. According to messages received' from Kashgar, the latest phase of the Sinkiang rebellion is that the rebels occupied Aksu, to the South- West of Urumchi.

card tricks necessary for an open./ ing bid in this system?
First of all, he knew that his partner must hold the ace and king of hearts in order to give him two tricks there. He could' hold the king of clubs and the king of spades to give the three tricks, or the king and queen of spades.
The worst possible break that he could find would be to have his partner hold just the king and queen and a small spade and two clubs and two diamanda, but even then he would have a change for the club finesse to make the grand slam.
If North were to jump to four hearts, as he did when this hand was played, it is true that this is a slam invitation, but don't you realize that partner with a mini- mum holding would now pass? As North's hand contains all the high card tricks there would be noth- ing for South to do but pasa.
The better bid is either to force in another suft or, to make a re- sponse of three hearts, Person. ally I believe that three hearts is the better response.
Before making a forcing bid stop to consider whether your bid ing additional information. In is conveying information or seek-
this ense North was seeking addi- tional information. If he had bid four hearts he would be giving information and that would be wrong with this type of hand.
