Hobbies and Lobbyists
News of Activities Here and Nearby
By Edmond Hsslsrsr.

All local hobby groups have felt
the effect OF the war in one way or
another. Loss OF active members
has usually been the first blow. The
National Aquarium Society has had
to find a new meeting place because
OF the expansion of Government
ofaces. and now the Metropolitan
Society OF Model Engineers is forced
to seek new quarters.
or course the NJ. S. M. E is glad
to do anything that will in any way
aid our war effort, but this Is par
ticularly severe blow because II
necessitates tearing down and re-
moving the clubs extensive model
railroad layouts.
The M. 8. NJ. E. has had its head
quarters in room $50, Union Station.
Uncle Sam is taking over all possible
space in the station for dormitories
for soldiers in town on leave. The
old Y. M. C. A, gym on the fourth
floor. along with room 356. will be
converted for this purpose.
The model railroad club has oc-
cupied this room for about two
years. Benchwork for the lsyouts
had long been completed and sum-
cient track for some operation was
in place. The HO layout was nearer
completion than the o gauge one
and the small gauge members were
pushing work at a good rate. In
spite of the loss OF members to the
Army the club was about holding its
own in this respect as new members
were constantly joining. Seven Wis
itors were present at the April busi-
ness meeting, five interested in HO
gauge and two in o gauge.
Since no suitable location is known
at present, 1t Is planned to dispose
of the material until q site for the
layouts can be found. Business
will be held at the homes
of the members. and q schedule OF
such has been set up covering the
next six months. To keep the men,
bers from becoming rusty on con-
maintenance and opera
ton, weekly meetings will be held
at the various homes where the lay
outs of the individual members will
benefit from the attention of many
hands.
In fact, 1t is entirely possible that
the club may gain more than it
loses in this change. A case In point
is that Of the National Aquarium
Society. Starting almost q year ago
the N. A. S. inaugurated q plan of
monthly business meetings
at the homes of the members, in
addition to the regular meetings at
the Commerce Building. This visit
ing among the members produced

In Local Bridge Circles
BY Frank b. Lord

Shepard Barclay, the authority
on authorities" has performed his
annual stunt of selecting the 10
American top-notch contract players
for the season of 1912 which
local devotees of the game always
watch for with keen interest. He
has awarded the laurel wreath for
the year to Mrs. AL Sobel. wife Of
one of the tournament directors of
the American Contract Bridge
League, and those who are in the
know concede that he has made no
mistake.
In reaching his decision Mr.. Bar
clay followed a definite formula. He
took into consideration the out
standing players In IL national
tournament events. They were all
championship matches-the masters
games the open games. the women's
games, the mems games and the
mixed games.
Where the winners were found to
be tied In these matches as was the
case In two instances in making up
the ratings, Mr.. Barclay went down
the list of non-national events
where master points were awarded
by the A. G. B. L., to ascertain
which OF the contestants had gained
the greatest number of these. The
result showed Mrs. Sobel in the lead
Of all others. She won two matches
and was second in another.
The same record was made by
Sidney Silodor and Mrs. Ralph C.
Young. both of Philadelphia. In
master points of the non-national
matches. however, she accumulated
162 as against 127 for Mr.. Silodor
and l2l for Mrs. Young. This made
the rating Mrs. Sobel, first; Mr.
Silodor, second, and Mrs. Young.
third.
Others OF the top 10 In order were
Simon Rossani, Merwin D. Maier,
Howard Schenken, Lee Hazen, John
r. Crawford, Waldemar Won zedt-
witz, A. Mitchell Barnes of Atlanta
and Sherman Stearns. The last two
were in an unbroken tie for tenth
place. The tie for fifth and sixth
places between the late Jimmy"
Maier and Howard Schenken was
determined by the lit master points
won by the former against 113
gained by Mr.. Schenken. Each had
one win and two seconds. Mr.. Maier
died last February.
Mrs. Sobel has frequently played
in Washington and is we'll known
here. She is the second woman TO
win Mr.. Barclays classification
award. Two years ago he gave first
honors to Mrs Ralph C. Young,
who is now placed third in the
handicspper's list. S. G.. Churchill
was the only Washingtonian ac-
corded mention by Mr.. Barclay in
the list Of non-winners who earned
second place in the national sham-
pionship games.
The past 10 days have been
strenuous ones for the professional
bridge players First, there were
the masters individual champion
ship matches, which ran through
five sessions In New York, and as
soon as they were concluded the
Vanderbilt Cup classic, a team
elimination game, was started
In the masters individual there
were 50 picked players. The match
was so arranged that each partici-
pant played with every other one,
once as partner and twice as OPP
ponent. In the end the victory went
to Harry j. Fishbein, who in the
concluding session succeeded In
overcoming the lead of three women
who were his nearest rivals. Mrs. Al
Sobei, Mrs. Ralph C. Young and
Mrs. Olive Peterson. each one OF
whom was ahead Of him at different

NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest
In Washington and Vicinity
By X. X. TaynfoH,

General exodus for the Virginia
shows started this morning. Ths
Roanoke show will draw those cir

technique. The Alexandria show
viii start at 10 am. next Saturday
and the PikeSyille show Is scheduled
for Sunday.
The uses OF dogs are many and
varied. A story is told OF the circus
press agent who was finding the
competition offered by the theaters
and movie houses OF his small town
stands too much for even his pow
ers OF persuasion in the community
editorial Offices. But being a press
agent, he found a way. First he
registered at the best hotel OF
the circus next stand Then he
inserted paid advertisement in
the towns best newspaper to the
effect that he would pay $50 for
any dogs brought to him at the
next morning. They we're needed.
he said, to use as food for the circus
Indians.
At 8 the next morning, the hotel
manager called him to say there
were several people in the lobby
with dogs for him. He said he
would be right down. At $50, the
hotel manager called him to say
dogs for him In the lobby. He
said he would be right down. AT .
o'clock. the hotel manager called
him and said the lobby was full OF
dogs and people and IL he didn't
come down and get rid OF them
pronto. he would call the cops. He
said he was on his way, but before
leaving his room he telephoned the
S. p. C. A. and told them the lobby
of this Swank hotel was fun of
crazy people trying to sell him dogs
to kill and feed to the Indians He
and the S. P. c. A. representative
reached the lobby at the same time.

The Vanderbilt Cup event was. n
knockout championship match in
which half of the competing teams
were eliminated at each session
until only two remained and those
then played for mastery. The vim
ming foresome will not be an
nounced until tomorrow.
Several teams that have made
bridge history In this event In past
years did not participate for va
rious reasons. The members OF some
Of them are in the military service.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's own team did not
compete. He has announced his
retirement from tournament bridge,
but will continue his interest in the
game. He has joined the Bridge
Emeritus group OF which such old
timers as Ely Culbertson, Hal Sims
and Sidney Linz are members.
These past masters rest on the
honors they have won and the repu-

and no longer take an active part
in the fixed events.
Bridge players generally regret
Mr.. Vanderbilt's retirement. He has
been largely responsible for the
great popularity contract has en-
joyed during the past 10 or IL years.
He was an early advocate OF the
change from auction to contract and
is accredited with the introduction
of the scoring system. Scores In
auction were represented by small
numerals. Mr.. Vanderbilt argued
that people like big figures and he
accordingly advanced a table OF
scores which includes greatly in
creased values for tricks in all suits.

well as large penalty scores for
failure to make contract.
