South's Mid-Bid Causes Over-Bid

By OSWALD JACOBY

ODAY'S hand came to my piecemeal. In a letter from hana Chicago I got the North only and a question about the bid of three clubs. "Was this good bid?"

In the same mull there was another letter from Chicago, enclosing the South hand only. "Should South bid four no-trump after North bids three clubs followed by four heart:7"

It didn't take much detective woTK o my part to discover that the two hands belonged together esprelally since both letters came in exactly the same sort of envelope. And of course 11's much easier to hid a hand wisely when you can see both hands of the partnership.
