In Local Bridge Circles
By Frank B. Lord

Except for the master players
match on July 2. the second hall
of the Big May pair game at the
Shoreham Hotel next Wednesday
will conclude the fixed events of the
Washington Bridge League until the
fall season. There will be, however
the regular play on the first and
third Wednesdays of the summer
months.
The MAY game final promises to
be an exciting and stubbornly fought
contest. At the halfway mark those
two outstanding performers, Al Roth
and o. j. Brotman, are leading by a
margin of a little more than a board
and half. Their score in the first
session was 2221s, Just IL points
ahead of A l. Westrich and H. r.
King with 21o12.
There are also two other pairs yet
to be reckoned with. Mark Lake and
D. c. Elliott and Lewis Tubbs and
James G. Stone. tied for third place
with a score of 20112. In any match
in which they participate, they are
strong contenders up to the last
board and there is an outside chance
that one or the other may break into
the lead. In a game the size of this
a margin of 81 points has been over
come and may be again. although
the betting would be against it.
In the second section. which in
cludes those rated in the. eligible
list with scores below So per cent.
the contest is even closer. The to-
tails, however. are not as large be-
cause there were fewer tables, with
a difference of only three points sep
arating the first and third pairs.
At the top are Capt. j. M Lazard
and Miss Loucelle Maupin, l31; Sec
ond, Mrs. Edward Cotter and Mrs.
Dora Schwartz, 129, and third,
George Kathan and R. H. Higgins,
the president of the league, 1913.
If Washington players accept all
invitations extended to participate
IN nearby tournaments. there will be
opportunity for bridge entertain
ment every week end during the
next two months. While the local
representation at none of them will
be large. each one will be attended
by some player from the Capital.
They are in Baltimore today in
goodly numbers for concluding
games of the Maryland State
Masters Tournament. The Annapo-
lis tournament, July 4, 5 and 6, will
see the largest number of Washing
ton fans at any of the out-of-town
engagements, and special hotel and
travelling arrangements have been
made for them to insure their ac-
commodation and comfort.
The Southern Pennsylvania Tour
nament, an A. C. B. L. event con-
Quoted by the Keystone Bridge As
sociation, is to be held in York,
June 20 to %, and Washington
players have been asked to come.
There will be four major events,
women's pair, mixed pair, an open
pair and team-of-four game.
James H. Lemon is the local mem
her of the Executive Committee,
Mrs. Cloyd F. Waltman and A. M.
Sobel will be joint directors.
Next will come the widely -adver-
tised Pocono Tournament at Shaw
Observation-Disclosures, June 27-29.
There the surroundings are inviting
for series of summer bridge
games.
After that will be the Carvel Hall
tournament at Annapolis, July 4 to
6. and then the popular Hershey
Pa) Tournament, July 1920. The
Gonneaut Lake Park Tournament,

The most unusual thing about It.
Mathisson's hobby is the fact that
he does all of his carving with
points and drills in the end of
dentists triple Joint, cord type, en-
gine arm (the sort of thing the
dentist uses to grind out our teeth
preparatory to filing. He uses no
regular carving tools at all. When
he first started carving coconuts
which the motor is held in the hand,
but found it heated up so in use
that it would not do for his purpose.
Therefore, he bought the triple
joint engine arm and hooked 1t
to an old electric sewingmachine
motor.
The lieutenant has his wood
of his home at 1911 North Buchanan
street, Arlington, Va. There he has
small work bench, on which his
motor is mounted, and a chair made
from barrel.
First and second place winners
in the big model air meet sponsored
by the Capitol Model Aeroneers
were: Glass C, first, William Bar
clay, Arlington; second, Norman

first, William Mitchell, Bethesda;
second, Edward Romer, Washing
ton. Glass A, first, Tom Gollus,
Washington; second, Al Baker, Bal
timore. Rubber power, first, Paul
Black, Silver Spring; second, Rob-
ert Davis, jr., Washington. Mr..
McMorrow made the best time for
the day.
The police estimated 1000 cars
bearing spectators were on the
scene. The Red Cross had a mo-
bile first-aid unit there which took
care of all cut fingers and other
| casualties, including two heat pros
trations.
| More than 100 planes were en-
/ tered by 81 contestants from six
States, the farthest away being
Florida. Out Of 20 planes lost dur
| ing the day, are still missing.

Rickenbacker was donor of one of
the other trophies.

Hobbies and H0bbyists
News of Activities Here and Nearby
By Edmond Henderer.

In 1896 1t. John c. Mathisson was
stationed in Key West, Fla. There
he saw displayed various objects
crudely carved from coconut shells.
Feeling that he could do better, he
set to work to evolve his own tech
nique.
/ The raw material was available
at no greater distance than his own
front yard, and the hardest work
in preparing it was the task of re-
moving the outer husk from the
Coconut.
Most of 1t. MathiSSon's carvings
have been made from the shell of
ripe nuts, which imparts a dark
brown finish to the object. The
greener the nut is when used, the
lighter the shell, and some few of
his carvings, made from green nuts,
have been almost white.
Choosing for the most part sub
jects which easily lent themselves
to manufacture in this medium, the
lieutenant produced large number
of breastpins representing local sub
jects, such as coral reef fish of many
types, pelicans, turtles and sea-
horses. When smoothly finished,
the dark-brown surface of the Coco
nut shell requires no varnish or lac
quer to give it a beautiful polish,
while small strands of light fiber
running through it serve to set it
off and make it just a little different
from ordinary wood carvings.
1t. Mathisson's larger pieces have
been mostly sugar and cream dishes,
each piece being basically one whole
nut. Ornamented with pieces cut
from other nuts, these make nice
sets. Seahorses and pelicans are
particularly suited for use as han
dies on these dishes. The lieutenant
filled the bases and Smoothed the
inner surfaces with plastic wood,
finished with lacquer, so that rather
than being mere ornaments, they
may be put to actual use.
1t. MathiSSon is now stationed in
Washington, and since a supply of
coconuts is no longer available he
has to find another material for
his carving hobby. He has made
a pair of lamps. now in use in his
living room, and is at present en-
gagged in making a footstool to
match them. The completed lamp
bases are made from two small
wooden tubs, purchased in New
England. They are ornamented
with figures carved in relief on their
sides. The designs are copied from
an old map of the world titled
"Holbein's World Map-l532" Be-
ing in the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey, the lieutenant is naturally par
tial to maps and charts He plans
later to copy other portions of Hol-
bein's map on shades to replace the
plain ones now on his lamps,

Besides, he has won any number Of

Two of WaShington's own took

SCOTS Boston terrier, Greyscot Mis-
chief, recently graduated from the
puppy class, accounted for one, and
Mrs. A. S. Monroney's Heather Hill
Peacock, a West Highland whits
terrier, for the other. In addition,
R. w. Lyons bulldog, Lonarch Tug
son, was best in the American bred
dog class.
The National Capital Club Is
showing renewed interest in

place can be arranged. Washington
may have another big show this
year. A special meeting to discuss
both the license and sanction shows
has been called.
