In bidding for slams, there is usually one bid which might be called slam invitation bid, and which might be defind as follows: "A slam invitation bid Is a bid un- necessary in contracting for game, and hence is made in quest of e slam. These bids may vary in the strength of the invitation conveyed, as mild, intermediate and strong"
 Some of these birds, which in some instances may not be slam invitation. are:
 1. Taking e game contract to Q less than game contract: not always an unnecessary bid.
 South North 1 heart 2 no trump 3 hearts 3 no trump { diamonds
 Here four diamonds is an un- necessary bid, and mild slam in. vitation, based largely on distri- button.
 In this bidding, however:
 South North Pass club 1 diamond 3 no trump { diamonds
 the last bid is perhaps neces- sary bid, based on long weak dia- mond suit and but little outside strength. When in doubt, consider any bid as necessary.
 2. Taking c game contract to a higher game contract, not always an unnecessary bid.
 South one heart, North four hearts. South five diamonds. Here the bid of five diamonds is clearly an unnecessary bid and thus be- comes an intermediate slam invi- tation based largely on distribu-
