OFFICIAL SYSTEM
WINS WITH TWO BID
Shepard Barclays Play Pre-.
vented Slam Contract
by Opponents.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 5.-An inter-
mediate two bid, which prevented a
slam contract by opponents and result
ed in a game for his side in the East
ern bridge championships, is regarded
by Shepard Barclay as proving the
merit of a feature of the official
system
Mr. Barclay, a member of the Ad-
visory Council, which devised the sys-
TEN, contributed to it the intermediate
original bid of two, made with less
strength than the forcing two or other
systems 1t means that the original
bidder promises to rebid at least once
if partner can make any response on
the first round.
The following hand was played by
Mr.. Barclay with Mrs. Norman N. New
man as partner:

Barclay bid two spades, his partner
raised him TO three, and he went on to
a game contract, which was made cas-
lily, the defending side taking only three
tricks with aces.
Both sides were vulnerable and West
was afraid to overcaQ two spades with
three hearts.
When the same cards were played at
most other tables the bidding went:
South, one spade; West, two hearts;
North, pass; East, two spades, showing
control of the first spade lead; South,
pass; West, three hearts; North, pass; !;
East, four clubs; South. pass: West,
four diamonds; North, pass East, six
hearts.
A grand slam at hearts is easy by
means of discards on the clubs.
If the intermediate two bid by South
had been overcalled by West with three
hearts, North and South eventually
would have made a sacrifice bid of six
spades, which would be set two doubled
and save points for North and South.
An original bid of only one spade by
South would make North think that a
sacrifice slam in spades would involve
too heavy penalty.
Evening star., 1932-03-06

pass South two diamonds. West two
hearts. North three spades, East four
hearts South six diamonds, the con-
tract
The only trick taken by the opposition
was the ace of hearts, although success
with the spade flnesse was necessary
for the slam.
Mr. Ienz believes that his 1-2-3 sys-
tenn brought about a contract which
methods based on honor trick Palua-
tion would not have reached. The key
to the bidding was Liggett's offer oi
three shades over Vests two hearts
Such a bid to Lenz was forcing, indl-
eating slam possibilities. His own hand
with its length in diamonds and single
ton heart ace of clubs and support for
partners spades, became enormously
powerful after Liggetts forcing BID
Certain that Iiggett had at least slS
spades and some strength in other suit
Lenz bid the slam in diamonds !eaV-
ing it to Liggett to bid six SPACES II he
wished.
Sees Big Advantage.
Under methods of making a forcing
take-out with three or more nohoI
tricks. Mr.. Lenz believes the north hano
would not have overcalled Vests two
hearts with more spades than necessary
and thus would have failed to snow
South's great strength. The North ano
South hands total only flVe honol
tricks plus under strict honor valuation
whereas seven or more honor tricks are
required to indicate hands Of two part
nerS are in the slam zone.
