By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Contract
 Bridge League

In following my annual custom and selecting the outstanding bridge players of the United States, found this year a greater welath of ma terial than ever before. The spread of tournament bridge throughout the country and the many Master Point tournaments provided for bridge competition brought many names to the fore and emphasized the fact that bridge has become not only nationally but internationally standardized.
 Inasmuch as the unit of bridge play is a table, I decided this year to select two teams-of- (giving each five members, however, so that proper recognition could be given to those who had proved in the keenest competition their right to places on the All-America teams.
 On my first team I have placed Charles H. Goren of Philadelphia; Oswald Jacoby of Dallas, Tex; Waldemar von ZedtWitz, of New York; B. Jay Becker of New York, and Mrs. Ralph c. Young of Phil adelphia.
 Goren, the outstanding player of 1887, gains unquestioned first place. Within the space of one year, he amassed 179 Master points, which he earned for finishing first in IT Master Point events, two of them outstanding ational champion ships. Goren was member of the championship knockout team-of- four at Asbury Park, N. J., last sum- mer, and at Washington in Decem- Der he won the boarda-match championship. These national vic- tories gave him in 81 of his 179 Master Points, but he earned the remaining 98 in smaller tournaments held in states along the Atlantic seaboard.
 Oswald Jacoby, the second mem Der of the team, has often been chosen heretofore. AS member of the famous Four Ace combination, he is widely known. His record of victories in the year included four national championship events, the National knockout team-of-four at Asbury Park, the Vanderbilt cup in

speaker at joint meeting of the League of Women Voters and the Business and Professional Women's club to be held tomorrow evening. The meeting is scheduled for 8 o'clock at the auditorium of St. Johns parish house and is open to the public.
 Reorganization of State Gov- ernment" will be the topic of the talk to be given by the speaker. Colonel Hewes is a member of the law firm of Hewes, Pettyman and Await in Washington, D. c. He is native of Baltimore, Md, and was educated in Baltimore and Hartford schools and was graduated from Yale university in 1910 and received a cum laude degree from Yale Law school in 1912. He practiced law in Hartford since 1912 and in 1913 be- came assistant secretary of the United States treasury and f:om 1884 to 1J35 served as special as- sistant to Secretary of State Hull. He formed the present law firm in 1886.
 Colonel Hewes has been most ac- tive throughout the state having served on the board of education in Pennington and also as chairman of the board of finance and he or ganized a campaign for town for est which was the first in the state to be dedicated as war memorial. He was in the general assembly in 1915 and served on the state civil service commission and the com- mission to revise the general stat utes of the state. In 1881 he was appointed to the governors staff with the rank of colonel and was personal aide to Governor Cross.
 Colonel Flew es served on a Con- necticut commission to study state liquor control in 1883 and had been a candidate for lieutenant governor on the democratic committee in 1882. He was appointed by Cover nor Cross on the commission on re- organization of state departments in 1883 and for years has been mem- Der of the judicial council. He has also been a member of the state parks and forest commission start ing on September 1, 1887.
 Much local interest is being shown in the talk by Colonel HeWes be- cause of his wide experience in the governmental field. The meeting will be largely attended by mem- bers of both organizations as well as by other residents who are in- terested in the matter of state gov ernment.

New York, and the Grand National open pairs and Grand National eam-of-four of the United States Bridge association in New York. In winning these events, he gained 147 Master Points, 32 less than Goren.
 The third choice for the team would probably rank first if the selection were made on all-time basis, rather than on the record of a single year. Waldemar von zedt- Witz, who won 145 Master Points in 1887, has been recognized ever since the earliest days of contract as one of the worlds master players.
 Becker's choice was the result of his victory in the Masters Indi- vidual, one of the blue ribbon events in the field of tournament bridge. No player has ever twice won this event, in which the player has no set partner, but plays with and against every other competitor dur- ing the event. He was teammate of Von zedtwitz in the Vanderbilt cup, and the rest of his 134 Master Points came from winning state and sectional events.
 The fifth and last choice on my first All-America is Mrs. Ralph c. (Sally) Young of Philadelphia. In placing her on this mythical team, am for the first time inviting g. woman into contracts hall of fame, but her splendid record, including as it did membership on the na- tional championship board-a-match team-o -of-four at Washington (where she played with Goren as a part ner), and at the same time winning earlier the national championship in the women's team-of-four events, merits her selection.
 My other All-America team Is made up of players of equal caliber. In fact, 1t is difficult to do justice to the bridge achievements of the many fine players with list so limited, and in making up this sec- ond team -of-four, I have given rec ognition to the opportunity to com- pete, which is sometimes limited by geographical considerations. The team is made up of Harry J. Fish bein of New York; Theodore A. Lightner of New York: Phil Abram- sohn of Hollywood, Fla; Arthur s. Goldsmith of Cleveland, and Mrs. Robert B. Fuller of New York.

He then led the diamond queen, and remembering East's overcall, he let it ride when East refused to cover. The queen held, and North now led three rounds of hearts, East winning the third with his queen.
 He led his last heart to get out of his hand, and North now led a low spade to dummy's ace, discard cd two spades on the ace and jack of diamonds. and thus lost one heart and one spade. Several play CTS attempted to ruff one spade, or refused to take the diamond finesse. Only one of the eight players played the hand correctly Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

Four hearts is a natural and, one might say, inevitable contract with North's unbalanced hand, even though South has but worthless singleton in the suit. Three no trump is another possible final contract, and this also can be made if proper care is taken at every step in the development of the hand.
 Of course East's overcall is a bad one. but East and West were not vulnerable, and East hoped that little show of non-eXistent strength might slow up the pro- cession. or get his opponents into a contract he might be able to
