 The unusual hand was dealt in a duplicate contract match. South was the dealer. He cannot bid one. as he does not hold two and one half tricks. A two bid Is a forcing bid and is out of the question. A three bid asks partner to go to game with one incard-this is not the type of hand with which an opening bid of three can be made. The only hid left is a preemptive bid of four. An original four bid in a major suit advises partner that with the suit you name as trump you ex- pect to take eight tricks and South holding eight trump and side ace. has the right to figure that he will lose one heart which would give him seven trump tricks and the ace of diamonds.

The signal for at tack was given and Pete put his insurance papers in the family's strong box. Then he mounted the ramparts and no more gallant figure ever pulled a better mount than Pete.
