What? Make a jump bid in a new suit which known as a "jump You will recall, with hands of the 16-19 strength, you strongly encourage your partner to bid a slam, yet you cannot demand the slam, but with these hands of 19 cr more, you can usually make a slam providing it is not a misfit and you have the controls. Here are the hands recently played in a Chillicothe home by a very experienced partnership in a 5- experienced partnership in a 5- Heart contract. You will notice that the combined hands will produce 14 tricks, 6 Hearts, 5 Diamonds, and 3 Spades, but, unfortunately, the enemy was able to cash two Clubs first.

B. West shows the Diamond Ace denying the Club Ace as the aces should be shown according to rank after the trump suit has been established. C. East is disappointed when he his partner does not hare the Club Ace or he signs off in 4 Hearts. D.

West does not give up and decides to show the Spade King or rather the second control in Spades since his partner has shown the first control. E. If East held the Club King, he would now bid 6 Hearts, but he does not, so he again signs off at 5 Hearts. F. West gives up.

He knows his partner cannot control the Club suit or he would have bid 6 Hearts over 4 Spades as all other suits have been discussed. East used very good judgment in not bidding 4 N.T.

contract had West held the King of Clubs instead of the king of Spades that is, as long as West would be the declarer and the Club lead would come to the king. Often it pays to tell your partner all about your hand, the strength as well as your controls, and let him make the decision rather then to nsk him how many aces he has and you try to decide.
