ARTICLE No. 20
One of the moat 'difficult points of
auction bridge, as well as one of the
most interesting, is the proper bidding
of a two-suitea hand : tnat is, a hand
that contains two suits of at least live
cards each. It fs the strongest hand that
can be held if played at the best suit of
the combined hands. Such a hand is
considered, on the average, one trick
better than the usual suit bid, and at
least two tricks better than a no-trump
bid. This fact shows the importance of
the proper bidding of such hands, in or
der to arrive at the best bid ol the com'
bined hands. As dealer, or before part
ner has. bid, if your hand is a "two
suiter," try for the opportunity to bid
both suits, provided, of course, they
arc sufficiently strong to warrant an
original or forced bid. As a general rule,
bid the higher valued suit first, provided
it contains sufficient strength to war
rant the bid. 11 not, bid the lower valued
suit, and show the higher valued suit
on second, or subsequent round. In the
same way, always prefer, if possible,
the major suit zo the minor.
The following hands illustrate the
principles just discussed and if you can
figure out' the proper bid in each in
stance, you are doing very well. In each
case, there is no score. If you, as dealer,
held the following hands, what would
' you bid? Compare your analysis with
the one that wilt be given in the next
article.

clubs. Z bid four hearts, A five clubs,
Y doubled, B passed and Z bid five
hearts. A doubled and all passed. A
opened with the ace ofclubs and then
. played the ace of spades which Z
trumped. How should he plan the play
of the hand? Z should play the deuce of
hearts and when A plavs the ten, Z
should stop to consider. There are now
only two hearts unaccounted for, the
king and the jack. If A has both, he is
Douna to mane a trick, no matter what
Z plays. If he has the king and B the
jack, Z will lose a trick by plaving the
ace. ii n nas tne jacK anil 15 the king,
Z will win a trick bv nlavin? the ace.
In other words, the play of the ace of
nearts irom x s nana at trick three is
an absolute guess. Personally the writer
would play the ace although the play
of the queen would not be criticized.
from the hands given, the play of the
ace of hearts at trick three gives YZ

and plan the play so that he can win
the balance of the tricks aeainst the
best defense? - ; )' ' u i
Answer to Problem No. 11
The bidding and B'sdouble practically
locate the remaining spades in B's hand
and Z should plan the play accordingly.
For that reason he should trump Y's
trick with a low spade in his own hand.
He should then lead a spade,- winning
the trick in Y's hand with the queen.
He should then lead the king of hearta
and again trump in his1 own hand. He
should then lead another spade and
win the trick with the ace in Y's hand.
He should then lead a diamond from
Y's hand and trump in his own hand.
He has now led trumps twice and
trumped three times so that he has
left the king and ten of spades. He
should now lead three rounds of clubs,
winning the third round in Y's hand.
For the last two tricks, therefore, h
has the king ten of soades as a tenace
over B's jack and five. It is a fine ex
ample of the so-called "grand coup,"
the trumping of a partner's winning
trick to shorten one's trump holding. In
this problem. Z was forced to trumn his
partner's tricks three times in order tn
make his bid. Play it out for practice.
