A score OF bridge clubs. exist in Omaha,
a few that play duplicate bridge and a few
auction bridge but only one team bridge"
club. The last is one of the most interest
ing and exciting OF any Of the bridge
games Duplicate whist boards are used
and In the local club there are eight mem
bers or two tables Of players First the
eight boards are played, each player re-
tanning the same partner and also playing
against the same opponents the entire at
ternoon. After playing the eight boards
the players change tables and play the
boards which the other quartet of players
has just finished.
Each PLAYER keeps his own score but as
the partners. OF course, have the same
record for the afternoons play, comparison
is easily made and all errors in tanying
caught. This comparison is made after
each game.
Keen judgment in making the trump, in
doubling and in the first lead are emphat-
icany important In the players Of /this
game. The game differs from duplicate
bridge In that none Of the boards is played
twice by the same four players. The boards
are used only that the players at each table
may test their skill at those tried by tire
other table
The game was brought 10 Omaha by Mrs
William Hin Clarke and Mrs. Daniel Baum
jr The members OF the club include:
Mrs. William sim Clarke, Mrs. Daniel
Baum, jr., Mrs. William j. Burgess Mrs
