CONTRACT KEEP UPKEEP DOWN CONSIGNEES' NOTICE. P&O BRITISH-INDIA APCAR AND

BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney The most abused bid in contract bridge is the game demand fore- ing bid. Partnerships are wreck- ed and games are lost by forcing bids made by unthinking partners. Before a bid,

sponsibility that you place, not on- ly on your partner but on yourself. When you make a game demand bid. you insist that your partner keep the bidding open until the final declaration is a game-going | contract. and he must do this if his hand is absolutely trickless.

Unfortunately many players! who make game demand forc- ing bids believe that the reaponai- bility rests entirely with partner.

For example, I have seen players Mar. 7 Mar, 0 Mar. 15 Mar. 20 open with, let us say, two spades. Apr. 3 Their partner responds with two Apr. Apr. 12 no trump, they then bid three Apr. 24 hearts and now partner, who has Apt. 28 May 4 May, been assured by the original fore- aying bid that the bidding would con- Jane

tinue until game is reached, shows Jupe 19 Jus his preference of the two suits named by the original bidder, by bidding three spades.

However, he has plenty of

the unthinking original bidder, feeling that his partner is merely endeavouring to show a prefer ence between the two suits, wil pass and a game contract is lost

You have no right to pass, after once making an original forcing two bid, or a jump shift response, until a game contract is reached. Unless your hand meets the ex- ceptionally strong requirements for foreing bids, play safe and simply make a constructive bid

If partner has anything, he will respond with a constructive bid and you can safely and surely ar- rive at the best spot at which the hand should be played.

Avoid paychics-they ruin part- nerships and lose more points than they gain. The one over une should only be made with a bidd-. able suit. Don't make a psychic! one over one simply to force your. partner. Let him know that he can count on a biddable suit from You.

In all my bridge during 1932. I Baw but two hands that I felt were strong enough to open with an original two bid, and at that I be lieve that my percentage was fair- ly high.

There were two blasts. A fire followed the first, while the Recond explosion blew out the wall and ceiling of the boiler- room, precipitating 160 girls from the upper floor into the raging inferno below.

The casualties are placed at 81 killed, 50 seriously injured, 70 slightly hurt and 10 missing. Many of those injured are in n very critical condition.
