(TKIRD OR FoURTH-HAND)

The minimum requirements for an opening four or tive-card suit bid of one, when in position of third or fourth hand, vary from the requirements of dealer or sec ond hand. The strength of the hand, both as to high-card tricks and probable tricks, must be great CT. with the added proviso that when fourth hand bids with a minimum there must be some length or strength in both major suits.
 The minimum specifications are:
 i. Three high-card tricks; 2. Five probable tricks; 3. Strength in at least two suits :
 4. No very short and weak
 major.
 The Choice of Two Suits
 1. When two biddable suits are distributed 5-4 or 6-4, the longer suit should be bid first, irrespective or whether it is a major or a minor and irrespective of the high tricks in the two suits. EXAMPLE,: Holding
 HEARTS-A-K-8-6 and DIA-
 MONDS-Q-J-7-5-4
 Bid the diamond suit first.
 Some players make an exception to this rule and will bid solid four-card major suit in preference to a weak-five-card minor.
 2. When two biddable suits are of equal length, bid the higher ranking suit first, provided it IS headed by at least a Queen-Jack. EXAMPLE,:
 SPADES-Q-J-9-7-6; HEARTS
 Ak K-S-6-4
 Bid the spade first
 3. When holding two biddable suits, one of five cards and one of six cards, bid the higher ranking suit first. EXAMPLE,:
 SPADES = A-Q-J-7-5; DIA-
 MONDS-A-K
 Bid the spade first. ohlui-NAL DID UT oNE NO
 TRUMP
 Certain hands are of a type known as no trump distribution. Such hand patterns, for instance, which are distributed, as to suits, in the proportion of 4-3-3-3; 4-4-3-2; 5-3-3-2. In great many cases such hands play better at ,1t fA a.In ;z. trump and, provided they have the necessary safeguards, the Advisory Council believes that an initial bid of one no-trtump should be pre- ferred to many weak four-card suit bids and, sometimes, even a five card Minor Suit Bid.
 A bid of no-trump in these in- stances. gives a far better picture. in the hand.
 The safeguards necessary in making an original bid of one mo- should be carefully noted as fol- lows:
 (a) The hand should contain no singleton or worthless doubleton (occasionaly the bid may be made with a singleton ace). At times there will be an exception to the doubleton rule, as in this example,:
 SPADES-A-4-3-2; HEARTS
 -A-K-x; DIAMONDS-A-4-3-2
 CLUBS-x-x
 (b) The hand should contain no good major suit bid.
 (c) The hand must have stop pers" in at least three suits.
 Counting the ace as 4: King as 8: Queen as 2; Jack as 1 and two los as 1, in making an original one
