By W. E. McKenney..

Secretary, American 'Bridge League.

In our two previous articles we explained how the writer's system of contract bidding handles the overcalling of opponents' bid when holding two and one-half or three and one-half quick tricks. When holding one and one-half or two quick tricks or a biddable, suit, ginal bid with this sult; c.g. South, the dealer, bids one heart, you sit- ting in the West, overcall with one spade. You immediately Inform partner that your hand does not contain two and one-half quick

His Lordship pointed out that Mr. Fitzroy was accusing the in Crown of conducting the case that particular way but he (hir Lordship) directed them to be so read and it was entirely his doing.

If partner had not bid and the opponent were to bid a suit bid and you overcalled with the same suit, you would simply be showing one and one-half to two quick tricks and would inform partner that you really held a biddable guit in the suit named; opponent bida one spade and you bid two spades. If you held two and one- half or three and one-half quiet tricks you would bid a no trump or would double, but you may just hold a biddable spade suit and one and one-half quick tricks, there- fore you should bid two spades in- forming partner that you hold a biddable spade suit and one and une-half to two quick tricks. This hid is used due to the fact that many players are now employing psychic hits.

Overcalling Opponent's Bid With A Jump Shift Rid.

Mr. Fitzroy then asked the jurars to banish his statement from their minds and, continuing his address, submitted that the Crown had failed to prove the case against the two prisoners beyond all

reasonable doubt.

The case was adjourned.
