3 MCKINNEY oN BRIDGE

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

The Vanderbilt Cup national knockout team-of -four champion ship was won this year by the team explained by Harold s. Vanderbilt. His teammates were Waldemar von Zedtwitz, Edward Hymes. Jr, Charles Lochridge and Robert Me- Pherran. Last year this team was eliminated in the senli-finals, and there was quite an argument over decision involving McPherran. Just to prove that bridge arguments are not serious. McPherran played again on the Vanderbilt team this year. This is the second time that MT. Vanderbilt has won his own trophy.
 Today's hand was played in one of the matches. The correct play of the diamond combination is to lead the queen and take the finesse, and when 1t loses. take the second diamond finesse. When played this way. however, the contract was de- feated.
