South was in error in not inviting a
slam by bidding four no-trump over
East's four-spade bid Her response,
under the Blackwood system, would
have been five hearts, showing two
aces, one of which must have been
the ace of clubs, which would have
taken care of South's singleton jack
of that suit. If she had not held
the ace of clubs, her bid would have
been five diamonds. Following her
five-heart bid, if East, not being
vulnerable but having three losing
tricks, had called five spades for a
sacrifice, there should have been no
hesitation on the part of South in
bidding seven no-trump. North, by
her raise to four hearts, had shown
three of that suit, and by her bid
of five hearts would have told him
that she held two aces. There could
thus be no doubt of South's grand
slam in no-trump, with his fit in
partners suit of diamonds.
OF the nine tables in the section
where the hand was played, only one
South bid a slam, and that was in
hearts, which was, of course, made.
Others stopped either at five or six
hearts. One East got the bid for
six spades doubled, and was set two
tricks for loss of only 800 against
a loss Of 1,720 on a seven no-trump
bid by North and South.
Mrs. Campbell was correct in her
criticism of the bidding. It should
have been harsh instead of mild.
The hand was perfect for grand
slam bid.
The Army foursome again forged
