A FORCING OVER-CALL RATHER THAN A DOUBLE 10 09763 054 A872 4 97 AK Q9 18632 KQJ96 54 A QJ 10 8 6 5 3 A KQJ85 9 107 103 A K42 Auction Bidding 1st Rd. 2nd Rd. South West Dbl. Pass North Pass Pass East 2 9 Contract Bidding 1st Rd. 2nd Rd.

3 Rd. South 1. Pass Pass West 3 5 Pass North Pass Pass Pass East 4 6 9 The above deal is an excellent example of the possible defensive value of an original minimum bid. At several of the tables in the Duplicate Contract game in which this deal arose, the South player passed originally, whereupon the bidding in two instances (opponents not bidding) went as follows: West, two Hearts; East, four Hearts; West, five Diamonds; East. five Hearts: West, six Hearts; the West player being encouraged to try for a Small Slam in the absence of any adverse indication of strength.

Spade originally, the bidding At the tables where South bide tween East and West stopped at four Hearts, the bidding going: South, one Spade; West, Double; North, pass; East, two Hearts (reluctantly); South, pass. West, slowed up by the original Spade bid and East's hesitant Heart response, did not carry the bid beyond four Hearts. In no case did West make A forcing over-call of South's one Spade; that is, over-call with three Hearts- -one trick more than necessary to show a seven probable trick hand with strong distributed high card values sufficient to have warranted an original two bid. The difference between a double by West and forcing over-call of a suit is explained in the nature of the obligation impressed upon East to respond. If West double and North pass, East is forced to take regardless of the weakness of his holding, or, in other words, if he leaves such double in, then the inference is that the strength held by East warrants the assumption the doubled contract can be defeated; whereas, if West makes a forcing over-call, the obligation impressed upon East is to assist or to take out unless holding a trickless hand.

Thus, with a weak or worthless hand, East would be forced to bid in response to An informative double but would not be so forced in response to a forcing over-call. Granted that this be understood between partners, it then becomes obvious that it West over-calls South's one Spade with three Hearts and North passes, that a four Heart bid by East shows actual supporting values sufficient, or possibly more than sufficient, to carry West's three Heart bid to a game contract. As this assist by East shows some actual supporting values, it follows that West, with six quick tricks and in all at least nine probable tricks with Hearts or Diamonds the trump, could now safely bid five Diamonds to evidence a desire to reach a Slam contract if possible, and, thus, to ask East for a further bid in either Hearts or Diamonds depending upon which suit he can best support. So bid, East, with the Ace of Spades, four Hearts and a doubleton, should bid five Hearts and possibly six, although such latter bid is by no means sound, although he may infer that West, to make a forcing over-call and thereafter to invite a Slam, should hold strong tops not only in Diamonds and Hearts but in Clubs as well. Thus, while I give the possible bidding as reaching a Small Slam, I do not personally think it should go beyond five odd.

Salient Points of Bidding. Auction: South opens the bidding with one Spade. West doubles; North passes and East responds with two Hearts, concluding the bidding. Contract: The bidding in Contract and the reasons therefore are fully set forth in the preamble. Salient Points of Play, In the play of the hand at Hearts, East in the Declarer, in Auction, and West, the Declarer, in Contract.

In either case a Spade 18 opened. Taking the play of the hand at Contract, in which West is the Declarer, North opens the Six of Spades, The Dummy going down, West wins with the Ace of Spades in Dummy, and, since in order to make his contract, he must find South with the King of Clubs, puts fortune to the test by leading a small Club from Dummy and finessing the Jack, as If South holds three Clubs to the King second finesse may to a have be taken with but one further entry possible in Dummy for purpose. The Jack holding the trick, West next lays down the A-K-Q of Hearts, dropping the outstanding trumps. of next King North wins with the Ace, and West trumping with the Nine of Hearts.

He faces possible imprisonment up to 10 years and a fine. Sachse continued at liberty under bail of $10,000 today awaiting sentence. If his counsel, Carl Pelton, and Clinton McGee ask for time in which to file an appeal, when Sachse appears for sentence, Judge Glenn C.

Gillespie may admit him to bail pending the supreme court decision or he can order him remanded immediately after sentence to the custody of the sheriff if the sentence includes a prison term. Jury Out One Hour. A verdict of guilty was returned by the jury this morning at 11 o'clock, an hour after it had been given the case. Judge Gillespie, in his charge, practically directed a verdict of guilty. Pelton and McGee would make no statement tonight regarding plans for a possible appeal.

Disclosures, which led to Sachse's conviction, followed charges made last December by Harry Mitchell, president of the Citizens' Protective league, that there was "something queer" about the price paid for two acres of land bought by the school board as an addition to the site of the Washington Junior school. A short time later the school board met in secret session to obtain data with which to answer Mitchell. Sachse was summoned and admitted having bought the land for $17,000 six months before it was sold to the school board for $32,500. Claimed He Resold Land. He said that soon after buying it he had sold it to Paul Kramer, Detroit architect, for $30,000.

When the school board decided to purchase the land Kamper demanded $32.500, he reported. Following its investigation, school board members said that Sachse might have "used poor judgment, but that the deal was entirely legal." Prosecutor Norman C. Orr began an independent inqury in the course of which Kamper denied having bought the land. A grand Jury investigation followed and Sachse WAS indicted on recommendation of Judge Frank Li, Doty. Sachse, who years old, ha.g lived in Pontiac for more than 25 years and served as president of the People's State bank from 1925 to 1927.

Before that he WAS in the mercantile business. He has been active in church work and civic affairs. Through real estate operahe has amassed a fortune regarded as one of the largest in the city.
