In Local Bridge Circles
By Frank B. Lord.

The members Of the team, Of
Washington bridge players who went
to Lynchburg last week to. partici-
pate In the city tournament there
had an unfortunate experiences that
sent them home with a feeling OF
disappointment over an incident for
which they were in no way at fault.
It caused them, however, to lose a
major trophy to which they be-
lieved they were rightfully entitled.
The fourson1e comprised Capt. and
Mrs. Richmond Skinner, Mrs. Cath
crime Cotter and Mrs. Frederick
Eberson. They were rolling along
successfully during the first u
boards of the "a Of the opening
round Of the team game. They hHd
won II Of them. and divided the
18th, which was an unusual accom-
plishn1ent, and 1t looked as If they
had the prize cinched. Then it was
discovered that there had been,
throughout the play that far, a mis-
take in the movement OF teams.
If continued 1t would cause some
of the pairs to play certain boards
twice, which would give them an
unfair advantage and affect the
score.
When the error was revealed there
was a long discussion as to what
should be done to correct 1t. De-
cision was finally reached to throw
out all the boards that had been
played and start the game over
again. This meant the loss of 111a
boards to the Washington team, and
as there was only sufficient time re-
manning to play 18 boards, instead
of "a, Capt. SINNERS team was
unable to recover In the end, how
ever. they finished second. but
Raleigh IN. c. team won the
match.
In the women's pair game the
Washington players Jared better.
First place was won by Mrs. Kitty
Boyle and Mrs. Eberson, while Mrs.
Skinner and Mrs. Carter were sec
ond. In the mixed pair contest Capt.
and Mrs. Skinner we're third and
Mrs. Cotter and Mrs. Boyle were
seventh.
The Government team has lost its
position at the head of the list OF
players in the season series of the
Federal Bridge League. The Army
team has nosed them out, at least
temporarily, by a margin OF .003 of a

with $4,000 worth of jewelry.

her singing voice, an aura of crystal and

beauty adorned with

William A. Pinkerton
was at that auction on

of keeping his eye
open. But when the
auction closed he went
to Lillian Russelps hotel

She came down at
