Evening star., 1942-09-27
Bv Frank B. Lord,

An enthusiastic group of Govern
ment workers gathered at the
Wardman Park Hotel on Tuesday
night and started the 1942-1943 sea
son of the team-of four series of the
Federal Bridge League. Many Of
the old-time players who were chars
ter members of the league when it
was organized decade ago were not
present owing to the fact mat some
of them are in the armed services
and some of them have been trans
ferred with their bureaus to other
cities. Former President Lewis G.
Tubbs, now an officer In the Navy,
was one OF the absentees. In their
places there was new talent which
gave evidence that the league will
have a successful year.
Many of the foursomes were newly
organized and they were assigned
informally among the three sections
without respect. to their skill and
ability. Hereafter the different di-
visions will be made each week, ac-
cording to the percentage standing
OF the teams established at the pre-
vious weeks meeting.
