very tough luck.
Horace NJ. Byrnes, Of Harris
burg, Pa. has developed a change
in the convention whereby d
Clubs becomes the asking bid in
stead of mo Trrmps. In reply.
4-Diamords shows no aces. 4
Hearts one. 4-Spades two, 4-No
Trumps three and 5-Clubs four.
The 4-Club bidder asks about
kings by using 4-No Trumps over
lower responses. 5-No Trumps
over those which are too high for
4-No Trumps. BY this method, the
hand shown would be signed off
at 4-Spades. A call of 4-Clubs
would ask about aces, response of
4-Hearts would show one, and
4-Spades would be the final call.
It would be made in spite Of the
opponents crazy distribution.
Tomorrow we will present the
very latest way of extending the
idea presented by Mr.. Byrnes, in
what we consider the best con-.
vention of the kind yet devised.
