 America's Card Authority

While attending the Southeastern in Florida this year, took the time out to play in one of the events myself. I paired up with one of my national tournament directors, A. M. Sobel, and our teammates were Colonel Robert J. Gill, president of the American Contract Bridge League, and Clagett Bowie both of Baltimore. I'm still talking about Bowie's play on this hand.
 At our table the opponents went to six spades and, of course, the lead of the diamond ace held them to six. At Bowie.S tables, he held the East cards, Colonel Gill the West hand, and the bidding above is that used. Bowie'S bid of two diamonds is just a cue bid, informing his partner that he has big hand.
 When South bid three diamonds and Colonel Gill bid three spades, Gill showed 6 very good spade suit. Bowie's jump to five spades was normal, however South came in now with his bid of six clubs hoping that he would get doubled at six clubs and then he could bid six diamonds and get doubled for 6 good sacrifice. Now this is where the quick think ing came in.
 When West and North passed, Bowie decided that he and his part ner could probably take il or i2 tricks against this hand and thus defeat the contract ct leAst 1000
