CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Cue bidding that is, the bidding of a suit previously bid by an opponent in order to show control of, or no losers in, that suit-can easily be overdone.

When properly employed it is a valuable asset in contract bidding, | but it should only be mado when you have especially good support In the ault previously bid by your partner and control of a side guft. in other words, you are inviting a slam if your partner has control of the other auit.

To make a cue bid otherwise only directs the opponents how to attack the hand. In other words when you make a cue bid you show utter contempt for anything that the opponents may lead.

von

The following hand, which was given to the writer by that great contract player, Waldemar Zedtwitz. past president of the American Bridge League and donor of the National Masters' Pair Trophy which is played for annual- ly at Asbury Park, N. J., gives an example of correct cue bidding and

also involves a neat pseudo-squeeze on the third trick.

bidding third hand with a bid of ong Apade. East overcalled with two hearts.

South was now in a position to make a nice cue bid-he had plenty of gumport for his partner's suit and had control of the club suit. Bo his propor overcall was thrée. hearts. West doubled to show some high card strength. North showed his diamond control by bidding four diamonds.

South bid five spades to show that something more than the nce of diamonds was needed to make a slam. North, with his ace and king of diamonds, was justifled in going to six spadca.

The Play!

East opened with king of hearts, which was trumped in dummy. A spade was returned, West winning with the nec, East discarding...ă heart. West returned a spade and East faces quite a problem.

He cannot discard a heart or the declarer will set up a good heart on which to discard a losing dia- mond. In face of the diamond suit showing in tummy, It does not look safe to discard a diamond.

The safest play appears to be to drop a club, and this is the play that is fatal to East and West, as the declarer has only to ruff two clubs and he has two more cards with which to squeeze East.

As the hand lies, if East had dis- carded a diamond, it would have been possible to defeat the con tract.
