A S OUR readers know, the Four
~ Aces, with Sherman Stearns
~ as the fifth member, were sue
\ cessful in wining the Wander
bilt Cup tournament last month. This
triumph-our third in four years of
Vanderbilt Cup competition and third
in succession this year-established
two new records. First, no other team
has won the Vanderbilt Cup more
than once; second, no other team since
1881 has won even two national
tournaments in row.
The tournament is another great
triumph for the -Four Aces system,
particularly when it Is considered that
every player on the 16 teams that
qualified for the Knockout rounds,
with the exception of Harold S.
Vanderbilt, played the Four Aces
system. While Mr. Vanderbilt's sys-
tenn is still, of course, based on his
own club convention, nevertheless, he
uses the same natural slam bidding
methods that we do.
Our path to the finals was an easy
one, since all our early round matches
were won by tremendous margins and
were never in doubt. Our final-round
opponents, Mr. Vanderbilt. Baron
Waldemar Won Zedtwitz, Theodore A.
Lightner, B. Jay Becker and Charles
Lochridge, reached the semi finals with
equal ease, but had really tough
semi final match and were almost
eliminated. In fact, at the halfway
mark they trailed by $500 points, but
by daring play were able to overcome
this lead and win by 100 points.
The final 72-board match was an
other "humdinger." It was played in
two 36-board sessions, with compare
sons after each nine. In the first days
play neither team could gain any
advantage, and when we knocked of
for the night, we trailed by 60 points.
a very small but nevertheless worrying
margin. The next day. however, we
started to click q little better. The
first nine boards left us 500 points
ahead, the second nine 1900. the
third 1000. Then, when it came to
the last nine boards, our opponents,
realizing that desperate measures were
necessary, started to Shoot" with
the result that we doubled our margin
and finally won by 1000 points.
As has been the case for the last
several years, our final match, while
marked with keen rivalry, was ex-
tremely friendly. A. IN example of

this feeling, we must first point out
that since 1888, when the Four Aces
system and team started, Baron Won
Zedtwitz had been our principal rival
in tournament competition. Neverthe-
less, the baron collaborated with us
in making up the Four Aces system
and writing our book, and has fire.
quently played with some Of us in
those tournaments in which our team
did not enter as a whole.
We have always felt the greatest
admiration for the bridge ability of
Sherman Stearns. who played as the
fifth member of our team in the
Vanderbilt this year. However, until
that tournament we never realized
how really good he was. Mr.. Stearns
wanted to win, and certainly con-
tributed his full share to our victory.
The following hand is an example
OF his brilliant bidding.
