Presented with very oeep gratitude by the Muscular Dys trophy Association of LAST THANKSGIVING the fellows put on a two-hour show for muscular dystrophy, but instead of asking for pledges by telephone, they told their listen ers to put quarters, dimes, nickels any amount of money in an envelope and hand it to their postman. You know how much cash they received? And come November they'll head another campaign for the same fund. This year their goal is $5,500,000. I THOUGHT that any fellow who, with his partner, could do so much good in such a short time should have a lady visitor while he lay in bed recovering from an illness, so I called on Jerry the other day.

Although he's been very sick, he's still chipper. When I walked in he waved a copy of my column in which I'd referred to him as "Hollywood juvenile delinquent." He yelled, "how can I be a 'juvenile delin quent at 28?" I soothed him with, "it was a loving phrase," then handed him a get-well present one of my choicest hats, a straw number with a gigantic brim trimmed with a bit of fish net and cork Jerry modeled it for me.

m. u. $. p.i. owl When your partner opens the bidding with one of a suit you need 13 to 15 points to jump to no trump.

You can make the same bid of two no trump with only 11 or 12 points if you jmake some other response first. In today's hand, for example. South had a good 12-point hand opposite an opening bid. He wanted to invite a game, but he couldn't quite demand it. Hence he bid his rather mangy heart suit first and made the invitational, (non-jump) bid of two no trump at hi next turn.

North accepted the invitation without hesitation. North had 15 points in high cards and knew that South had 11 or 12. The total was enough to supply a reasonable play for game. North didn't like his singleton spade, of course, but he correctly Judged that game at no trump was nev ertheless more likely than game at a minor luit.
