The explanation of this differ made three. ence is that in bidding One Spade, although the high card strength may be no more than for a No Trump, the trump suit may be long and the consequent trick making value of the hand greater than in an evenly distri buted No Trump pattern hand.

It is exceedingly dangerous, therefore, to leave in a sult double unless the hand contains length and strength in the Trump suit itself.

The difference between these two doubles is well illustrated by two hands which occurred in the final of the Tearn of Four Tourn- ament of the British Bridge League Gold Cup. I quote the hands from memory as I have no record, but the material high card and distribution are accur ately given.

North-South were playing the strong Club with a negative Dia- mond response. North left in South's double the first round, and I think even then it was ris- ky and that a No Trump bid would have been sounder.

But when East redoubled and South and West both passed North must now bid No Trumps, It is too near a thing as he can only rely on two tricks, in his hand and not more than four from his partner.
