New York, April 12-Among the women bridge champions, Mss Elinor Murdoch of Birmingham, Ala, retains her top rank in the awards, just made public, of the annual "All-America" rankings, which are selected annually by Golfers Weekly. Not only is she the only woman ill the "big ten," but she also wins the annual award, against all the men players for "the most spectacular event in the years championship play"
 The judges citation says of her achievement during the past sea- son:
 "The most important single event among the IA great national bridge championships is the indi- vidual masters championship con- ducted by the American Bridge League.
 In this nobody is eligible except players who have real champion ship records. Thirty-six of them came together this time under con ditions whereby each had to take turns with every one of the other thirty-five as partners. For the first time in the games history, this championship was won by a woman. Miss Elinor Murdoch, formerly of Birmingham, Alabama, and now of New York. She beat
