Reynolds this i great a burden upon the partner to open the bidding in third or fourth position. Except in the rarest of cases the I partner must not jump gaily to I game or slam in the diamond or cliib suit bid originally. He must allow for the possibility that the bidder may be very weak in the suit named ana nave Ms compensating values elsewhere. It may be remembered that one of these rare cases came up in the match betwen the Culbertsons and the Simses. Mrs.

Sims made an opening bid of 1 with a singleton and Mr. Sims went immediately to Seven Clubs! In this instance. Mr. Sims held eight clubs headed by the three top honors! The Hand Mrs. Culbertson A-KQ6432 8 7 0 10 8 A 101 P.

A bid of 1 C. on such a hand is distinctly unorthodox, as she has a perfectly sound and biddable diamond suit. She probably had in mind a desire to make her husband the declarer and was prepared to give him a raise if he responded in any of the other three suits. She was breathless when he re sponded vith a grand slam In the suit she had originally named. South led the seven of clubs and this gave Mrs.

Sims two chances to make the hand. One chance was to drop the diamond queen in three rounds and discard three hearts from the West hand. The other was to try a finesse for the king of hearts. If South had led a spade instead of a club, knocking East's spade entry out, the heart finesse would have been obligatory. It would have worked, as the cards lay, but it would have given Mrs.

Sims some anxious moments. The actual play was as follows: The first trick was won with the jack of clubs. A small diamond was led and ruffed in dummy. A high trump took out the last remaining trumps and Mrs. Sims returned to hnr hmrl via ics nf tiuriM RhA then led the ace and then the king of diamonds, discarding two hearts from dummy, When the king of diamonds dropped North's queen, East's jack provided a discard of the queen of hearts, and it was unnecessary to try the heart finesse.

Irwin McDowell, for three years But there are certain types iu i and yet of such distribution that the high cards are not bolstered by any distributional advantages. For example, a hand that contains three bare aces: A A A x. Three aces are three quick tricks. mwnincr hiri nH vt r.h can hardly expect to produce more than three tricks in play.

This hand has been a bone of contention among some bidders. Some think it should be bid and some think it should be passed. Among those who favor an opening bid on the holding, there is a difference of opinion as to what the bid should be. Even the school of weak-no-trumpers shy when faced by the three-ace hand that is unsupported by another single honor card. The consensus of opinion among better bidders is that the bare three ace hand should not be opened, dm, mat, tne nana con tains another face card it should bid.

may very well prepare the opening bidder to handle the partner's future action with more safety and keep the bidding from getting too high in the event that a game seems unlikely. Under the aces' system a minor suit of three cards headed by ace or king or any four card minor may be bid. Others use the minor suits for bidding purposes with less restrictions and are not so much concerned with whether or not the suits are headed by an honor.

Under these laws, an officer who falls to be selected for promotion by two successive selection boards, is forced Into involuntary retirement, although physically and otherwise qualified to remain In active duty.
