West was the dealer and bid one no.
trump which everybody passed and the
hand was set two tricks for a loss of
500 points, as East and West were vul-
nerable.
Lightner, holding the East hand
naturally would have liked yery much
to deny the no-trump bid with a two
diamond bid, because he had q single
ton In CLUBS and no re-entries, but in
the long run 1t would be a losing bid
on hand such as his.
West, of course, having a fairly
strong hand. might not stop at two
diamonds and might return to no.
trump or raise the diamonds, thereby
increasing the loss. AS it happened,
Two diamonds could have been made on
thls hand, but no more. Denials on
weak hands when vulnerable should be
avoided, In spite Of the result on this
one hand.

extremely fine, as game cannot be made
in no trump, although the temptation
to play the hand in no trump is ex-
tremely strong.
Jacoby's two-club bid was, of course,
an effort to have us reach final dec
laration of three no trump and hope
that his long diamond suit would fur
nish the setting tricks. which it would.

After passes by West and myself,
Lightner opened the bidding with one
heart, which Jacoby overcalled with
two spades. West went to three hearts,
bid three spades, East bid four dia-

West returned to the heart suit.
East now bid four spades to show

contract. The hand was lay-doWn for

Jacoby was the dealer and bid one
spade which was overcalled by West
with two clubs. I bid two diamonds
and East went to three clubs. Jacoby
now bid four clubs. Bidding opponents
suit usually indicates void in that
suit or the ace. In either case, it is
an absolute forcing bid and we would
not be Supposed~ to stop short Of game.
Jacoby had loser in clubs. but he
was afraid to bid three or four dia-
monds as in that event I might stop
short of game and he could not rebid
his spade suit as it was too weak; there
fore, he saw no other way of forcing
me to bid for game except by bidding
the suit originally bid by opponents.
AS it happened, I had weak hand
and would not rebid it without this bril-
liant BID by my partner, so I bid four
diamonds which he took to five.
Makes Play Easily.
I made them easily We won the
third rubber with a slam, lost the next
two without ever having chance, AID
also lost the sixth after having been
able to put up a little more resistance.
