Blackwood on Bridge—

Its Not Easy to Say Which

Bid Is Right or

RECENT letter from a correspondent states, “What our club would like to see is a series of columns showing what is the right bid and why, and what is the wrong bid and why, —by each of the four players.” I will be glad to comply, but

first let me make this comment, On some hands you can say, “This bid is right” and “This bid is wrong.”“But not on many. : ® 3 8

BIDDING {8 not entirely a

. matter of mechanics. If it were,

bridge would be a dull game. Strategy, tactics, the varying abilities of the other players and other considerations also influence the choice of bids.

However, there are many basic situations where it can be said, at least, one type of action is better than another, For example, situations where you have to decide whether to bid or pass, and the case where you must decide whether to raise your partner or bid a suit of your own, In a few days I will go into these and similar bidding problems. But before that I want to show you a few hands to illustrate the point that there is no perfection in bidding—even by the most famous players in the game. ” » » TODAY'S HAND is taken from the record of a very important match played some

South had a somewhat questionable opening bid and, as you see, was forced to rebid a four-card suit on the second round as the best of a bad lot of choices. Even though we figure the opening bid as satis-

And the play wasn’t any better than the bidding. No details are given but the record merely states brutally: “NorthSouth down four at five diamonds.”

Toastin’ or roastin’ parties make fall a wonderful season. Toasting marshmallows after an autumn picnic or roasting “hot dogs” as the only hot dish on a hike is real |

4 (fun.

Glenn Miller made some weiner or toastin' forks by bending coat-hanger wire and found that they work just as well as those you buy at the store. He suggests that you plan a picnic, then make one of these for each one of your group. Two or three types are shown above, and all that is| needed to make them is a few coat hangers and some wirecutting pliers. The fork at the left shows a hanger cut lat “X” so that the hook remains as a handle or hook for ‘hanging. The side wires are straightened, then twisted around a block of wood to form a fork as shown. Remove ithe block and sharpen the points with a file. The marsh‘mallow fork is just a straightened coat hanger, while the one on the right has the hook cut off and a new double fork twisted on. |
