CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

The result Of the match for the A. w L.
trophy between Minneapolis and Cincin-
natl. which was to take place at Minneap-
oils Saturday night has not yet been learn
ed. though 1t was generally conceded that
Minneapolis would win against all western
teams. Judge Bum, who is the whist au-
thority of the Whist Journal on all doubt
fu! questions, Is recognized as one Of the
strongest players in the country, and his
services can be depended on by his club on
all occasions. while Briggs. also of Mime
apolis. Is the hero of many championship
matches, his play at all times being Of tour
nsment order, not posing for brilliancy, but
satisfied to get all cut of hand that Is
possible. Montgomery, too, stands very
high as a player, his adaptability to the
game of others making him desirable
player on a team. Hemphill, although a
yoLrg player, Is one of the shrewdest,
marked with great card sense and is quick
t. take an advantage Of any opening offer
ed by the adverSaries. Bronson has al
wsys been known as a steady trick winner.
a close reader Of the cards, knowing the
last five cards in every hand, never given
to Exiting" ard always turns up with the
right card to stop an enemy's long suit.
This team in their present form will hold
the trophy against all corners, possibly with
the exception of three eastern teams.
