stop to think that South had
really shown quite a strong hand
by his action in passing the dou-
bic and then making a most posi-
tive kind OF bid when he called No
Trumps later This should have
shown North that he had some re-

next bid would have been based on
the surplus in the South.
That 2-No Trumps was really q
very smart deductive bid. South

had enough heart strength to stop
that suit securely. and he also
reckoned his clubs practically solid

It appears that North was used

Many more treat a bid then as

ton Is. Of course. a redouble,

on an opening bid. With a hand
