A BAD HABIT TO HAVE

ONE OF the most costly habi-
tual sins q the average player is
found in his tendency to raise his
partners suit bid when holding
only three cards of the suit, head
ed by a high honor. The canny
campaigner will almost never do
this if he has any other sound bid
available, especially another four
card suit containing No Trump
Stoppers The showing of such a
suit can frequently guide the side
INTO the right contract, perhaps
IN that suit or No Trump, or
Soundly in the partners original
