Young Mrs. J. E. Young. IT IS universally acknowledged by good players that the rebid one suit followed by the bidding of a second suit indicates at least six cards in the first and only four in the second one.

Dependable use of this convention uncovers many safe trump suits of six cards in one hand and in the other, and it even can point sometimes to no trump as the safest spot.

At two tables of a duplicate tournament there were North-South pairs which varied widely in bidding acumen. At the first of these, North bid a spade, South two clubs, North two diamonds, South two no trump, North three spades and South three no trump.

North knew just enough bridge now to reflect upon his sins. He realized he should have bid the spades twice before the diamonds and that he had indicated his major suit to five cards, only, whereas he actually held six. He was in a bad spot. Not knowing whether to leave it at three no trump or try four spades, he made the wrong guess. As a consequence.

he was doubled in four spades by East and was set two tricks for a loss of 500 points.

On the first trump lead from the dummy at four hearts, what is East's best play in an effort to fool declarer into losing two trump tricks? At the other table, Mr. and Mrs.

Leslie G. Weldon of New York did more precise bidding. When her husband answered her one spade with two clubs, she called two spades and he then bid three clubs. Now her three diamonds made it perfectly clear to him that she had six spades and four diamonds. He thereupon called three hearts, letting her know that he had a sixfour in his hand and putting the choice up to her.

Had it happened that her spade suit was still a card longer than six, or in other words a seven -card suit, she could have gone on to four spades if her hand looked better that way. She got the inference of the three heart bid very clearly and so bid three no trump without any guesswork whatsoever. The contract was made easily against the lead of the (25, ADVERTISEMENT Best Cough Remedy You Ever Used Is Home-made Double-quick Relief. Saves Money. Easily Mixed.
