One Heavenly wonder" comes
after anotherl Only two days
divide the total eclipse Of the
sun and the nearest approach
of the planet Mars.
The approach Of Mars on the
second of July is to be the closest
for Is years. Two years from
now we shall have an even
closer view of the famous planet.
Perhaps you wonder why the
distance of Mars changes. Here
is part of the answer: Both the
earth and Mars follow elliptical
pathways around the sun, in
stead of making circles.
Another part Of the answer
has to do with the periods Of the
two planets. The earth makes q
trip around the sun in 365 "
days. Mars takes 687 days Of
the same length to make Q
longer journey than ours.

OF course the answer Is that
the subject Of cue bidding has
been sadly neglected in bridge
sliterature. For this reason, and
also because cue bids are as
Stunning an increasingly impor-
liant role in the bidding struc-
ture, would like to discuss them
in this and following columns.
a AS I have pointed out many
times, the Blackwood slam con-
vention Is not appropriate for
all big hands. It should be used
when the only information you
need to decide about bidding a
ISLAM is the number Of aces
your partner holds. Sometimes
you need to know more than
sthat-as in today's deal.
y When Mr.. Masters spade bid
was jump-raised by his partner.
he Immediately started think
Sing about q slam. If he now bid
-FOUR no-trump and learned that
Shis partner held one ace, he
still would not be able to bid six
because of his two little dia-
smondS.
That is, Mr.. Champion could
have a good Jump raise without
holding either ace or king OF
diamonds. Also he could have q
hand containing just one ace.
which would make six spades a
laydown.
Mr.. Masters wanted more ex-
act information than merely
the number of aces held by his
partner. He therefore bid four
clubs-a cue bid showing first
round control of clubs (the ace
or a void. Since spades had
been decided on as trumps. this
coud not possibly be construed
as showing real club suit. You
can't play a contract at two
suits.
Mr.. Champion co-operated by
bidding four diamonds, showing
first-round control Of that suit.
Mr.. Masters four-heart call was
another cue bid. Mr.. Champion
then bid I'VE clubs and, since this
was the second cue bid in the
same suit. it showed second
round control (the king or q
singleton).
This last bid rounded out the
picture well enough for Mr.. Mas
tiers to put the hand in a slam.
He won the opening diamond
lead with dummy's ace. Now he
laid down the ace Of spades, the
correct play with this trump
holding to avoid the loss Of two
trump tricks. After this 1t was
easy sailing for twelve tricks.
