CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

When holding a strong six-card sult and a good four-card suit, how should those two sults bo' shown in the bidding in the con- structive one over one system?

Tho answer is simple-always mako a constructive bid whorover you have any additional values to show. The re-bidding of your own suit is not exactly termed as a sign-off bid, but simply shows additional length in that suit, while the bidding of another suit quickly gives partner a pleture of your hand,

Que more thing I want to warn you about-don't let honoura inflų- ence your bidding. It is fine, it you And that you have game in two suits, to play the hand at thờ suit in which there are honours; but in the course of the bidding, until you are sure of this fact, you must absolutely disregard those honours.

Most players with the South hand will bid two or three spades.; if you bid two spades, remember it is possible for your partner to pass. If you bid three spades, he will immediately decide that if not you have a side suit it is strong enough to bid. Therefore, If it is later proven that, that is the suit at which the hand shouldi be played, he will fail to support it.
