Evening star., 1942-07-19

District duplicate hounds face an
entire week without benefit OF
championship" fights. Final play
of for the Luther Stewart Trophy
of the Federal Bridge League was
concluded last Tuesday evening at
Wardman Park and the Washington
Bridge League wrote flnis to its an
nual masters game the night fol-
lowing at the Shoreham.
In the Federal event, the male
quartet of Schmidt. Whittier, Mullan
and Kosier romped home, two
boards ahead of the WPAs CMr. and
Mrs. Wilfred de st. Aubins, Mrs. B.
Palmer and Lewis Tubbs). The
Lions, who had roared Justify the
first session, changed their spots
and went out like lambs, if I may
be permitted a mixed metaphor. In
fact, DR. C. c. Mcdonnell, captain OF
the team, was heard to say some
thing about lambs to the slaugh-
ter" The rest of the lineup, Mrs.
Jack Bennett, Mrs. Frederick Eber-
son and Charles Lyons were content
to merely comment that 1t was
one of those things" That. by the
way, is what makes bridge interest
ing.
In the masters game the girls
"dood" it again. Mrs. Lester Gibson
and Mrs. Harold Young, who led in
the first session, repeated their per-
Torrance with a grand total of 1854 5
match points. John Kunkle and
Howard Roobach. who had tied for
third in the first game. picked up
18 points and ended the joint ses-
sions with 1854 MPs. Mrs. w. S.
Athey and Leroy Thurtell were
third with $40.
The girls again crashed through
in the convertible section. Mrs. d.
E. Stephan and Mrs. j. A. Long led
the field for the second time with a
gross of 100 MPs; Mrs. John DON
nelly and George Kathen, with top
score for the second session, had
885 and Mrs. Kathryn Fenton and
DR.. JaSny were third with 86.
The Bridge League now reverts to
common garden variety bridge for
the remainder of the summer. Open
duplicates will be held the first and
third Wednesdays of every month as
Is its custom. However, scores will
be off the record. You can win and
you can't lose. In other words, if
you have a duty date nesting coyly
among your souvenirs, here's a good
time to get it out of your system.
Mr.. Golden announces that all will
be forgiven and forgotten and scores
consigned to the wastepaper drive.
The Women's Auxiliary of the
washington Bridge League have
completed arrangements for a two
session master point "On-To-New
York" game to be held on Saturday
afternoon and evening, July IS at
Wardman Park. Paul Golden will

start at exactly 2:15 and 8:15 pm.
The net proceeds of the game will
be divided between the open pair
holding the highest score, who can
60 to the Summer
Nationals and the pair Of members
Of the auxiliary playing together
who can also attend in person.
Should actual top score be won by
the second prize will be
awarded the runners up, no matter
what their status, provided they can
get annual leave, park the family

we are assured will be "the greatest
bridge show ever staged under one
roof"

be unable to get away, their entry
fee for this game on the 25th will
be returned to them-in script. The
master points will be given to the
