We find the safe is true in the responding bid. Tho original bidder makes a suit bld of one. With a strong hand and normal support, partner is given two choices-be may jump to three of the original suit, forcing the ori- ginal bidder to bid either three no trump or four of a suit, or he may elect to become the declarer if the hand is to be played at no trump by jumping to two trump.

*

·

no

In either the original, bids or responding bids, about the same atrength is required, but the bid- ding is so manipulated. that the play of the no trump is thrown into the proper hand.

In yesterday's article 1 ex. plained the original forcing mult bids of two. Your attention was enlled to the fact that this bid in made with the type of hand that can become the dummy, especial- ly at a no trump contract. There is still another original foreing suit bid in the one over one sys- tem, and that is the game demand suit bid of three.

An original suit bid of three ia made with a hand containing a long, solid trump suit. The hand should not contain aver tree Ins- ing tricks.

It shows a hand that wants to be the declarer and not the dum my. It further shows the type of hand that has no desire to play the hand at no trump. It ansures game, even though partner's hand is tricklews.

As a three bid is made with n hand containing a long, solid trump suit and generally a strong Ride

suit, the original” bidder is not seeking information as to whether or not partner's hand contains any trump strength. The most important thing he desires to know is whether or not part- ner's hand containg an ace. There- fore, without an ace, regardless of the rest of the strength in the hand, partner must respond with three no trump, thereby denying the bolding of an ace.

握

When holding an nee, partner must respond with that suit, re- gardless of its length or strength, When holding two aces, one of which is the ace of rump, bid. four in the original bidder's "suit. When holding two acos, neither of which is the ace of trump, bid the highest ranking ace.

To illustrate how necessary this information is, we will take the following hand-Spades A. K. Q J 10 9x, Hearts KQ J 10 9, Dia- monds x, Clubs none. This would be an ideal three bid.

If partner were now to respond with three no trump, you would know, that he held no ace and that the slam could not be made. If he bid four clubs, even though he held an ace, you would still know thai the slam was not pro- bable, as the nee of diamonds and the age of hearts are both out against you.

Pre-emptive hids of four ur five of a sult are made primarily to shut out the opponents. They are made with a hand containing a long suit and little or no defen- sive strength. The original bid- der must realize that not only ja he shutting out his opponents, but partner as well, and there- fore the bid invlles no response from partner.

For half an hour the men ransack- ed the house and finally departed with a variety of clothes and jewellery and all the money they could find in the house.
