Inc Maryland Masters proved no
happy hunting ground for the
Washington players who trekked to
Baltimore last week end in search
of those elusive master points. In
fact. despite the very generous
awards the Localities take was ex-
actly nil. Baron Waldemar Won
zedtwits and william McKenney
tsecretary of the American Bridge
League copped the cup and Ber-
tram Lebhar and Sam Rossant were
runnersup-all four from New York
City. Lebhar, paired with Sam
Katz, played on the team-of-four
with Oscar Brotman and Alvin
Roth when the local lads brought
home the national championship
from Asbury Park in 1910. Mrs
Amy Behrend and Joe Grinsfelder
of Baltimore led in the first session
and Mac" and the baron in the
second and third.
The best District showing was
made by Mrs. Breckenridge Long,
playing with Boris Mamayoff, who
was third in one of the sessions
Among the Capital players who at
tended the two-day event were Mrs.
Martin Boyle. Mrs. Harold Young,
Mrs. w. S. Athey, Mrs. Breckenridge
Long, Mrs. Gertrude Eberson, DR..
A. J. Steinberg, Louis Newman. Al
vim Roth, Mrs. Irene Surguy, Gene
Herman, Cyrus Austin, J. w. Dor
say. James Stone, Lewis Tubbs,
Louis j. Watson, jr; Wilfred de St.
Aubins and Mrs Charles Kava-
naugh. Mrs. Kavanaugh has been
absent from bridge circles for some
time AS she is one of the best
woman players in the city, we are
very glad indeed to welcome her
back into the duplicating service.
Plans for the Forthcoming An
napolis tournament 60 on apace.
Every day or so something new is
cooking. The grapevine has it that
special Defense stamp award will
be given to the player having the
highest cumulative score for three
events. That should be a very
popular addition to the usual
trophies which are given on a match
point basis. Now, if you happen to
bid few slams land make em)
and double a few vulnerable oppo-
nents land set 'em) you have a
very fine chance of getting your
name in the winners column, even
ii Russell Baldwin match points
you under average.
Last years winners for the wo-
mems pair were Mrs. Edward Behr-
end and Mrs. Allan Rutherford of
Baltimore; for the mems, Gene Her.
man and LIE Roy Thurten of WASH
ington and Cecil Head of Boston;
for the opens, Nathan Agran and
Simon Becker, both of Philadelphia,
and the intercity team of S. Gar
ton Churchill. Silver Spring. Md.
and New York City, Cecel Head,
and Col. Robert J. Gill and Clagett
Bowie of Baltimore.
If you have trophy cabinet and
like to keep it we'll filled, YOU had
better do your durndest at Carvel
Hall, for it will be about the last
tournament to give them. When the
present supply runs out, all ACBL
prizes will be Defense stamps. The
Executive Committee feels that the
metal can be used to much better
advantage in bullet form.
Perne E. Henninger, president of
the Washington Bridge League, and
Col. Robert j. Gill are co-chairmen
OF the Tournament Committee for
the event; Mrs. Marian H. Barre.
