Opening-T

By WILLIAM E. McKENNEY

HAD an Interesting letter recently

from two 14-year-old boys who have been playing bridge for three! years They sent me today's hand, which came up in a rabber bridge game.

The bidding shown is the way the boys gave it to me. I do not like North's bid of two no trump. It is my opinion

that two no trump is zeldom the correct bid. In the majority of cases there is a better bid.

North, 11 is true, had a terrifle hand, but he could convey this fact to his partner which would show two diamonds, which would show two controls. Over three diamonds South woud bid three hearts and North four hearts.

South's "four no

trump bid was Blackwood, and North with two nees correctly responded with Ave hearts, then alx hearts, showing two kings.

I do not know what East doubled -on. His double could only locate any missing high cards for the opponents.

West opened the seven of spades to Indicate the top of nothing, but I would have preferred to. open the four of clubs, fourth best of the longest and strongest suit,

Now South could have counter 13 tricks that he could take-three- spades, six hearts, a diamond and three

clubs. But he made the mistake of Anessing the diamond. He should have discarded the queen. Jack and ten of diamonds in dummy on the last three trumps in his own hand.

However, he was only guilty of the same mistake that the average bridge player mades every day. fallure to count tricks.
