structive aspect when the opening
bidder can foresee that the hand will
play very we'll in his suit, since he now
knows that there are only five trumps
against him. With short-suited hands
all round, these adverse trumps are
more likely to be held 80 than Al
or SO.
When a Fit Has Been Found.
Here again one may venture a fur
ther move when a fit has been found
it is worth while to take slight
risk In exploring further the game pos
sibilities, though that process requires
an additional round of bidding, re-
sulting in a contract for three instead
of two in the event that game appears
after all to be beyond reach of the

After q Minor Suit Opening Bid.
Naturally, if the opening bid was
in minor suit, the second-round raise
by partner does not warrant rebld
by the opening bidder, unless he feels
that three no trumps would prove
good risk. This responsibility devolves
On him, not on the responder. If the
latter had, in addition to his one-over-
one suit and his support for the open
ing bid, also some strength In one or
both of the unbid suits, he would have
been able to bid two no trumpS on

 The playmate said he and Dal- bert were playing on raft and that Dalbert fell off He was so terrified by the accident that he could not shout for help and has been so frightened about the drowning of his chum that he has kept it a secret until now.
 Police are still holding Phillip Ed wards, 19-year old youth, who con- fessed to the staying as a publicity stunt.
