. MCKINNEY on BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM e. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

The Eastern States team-of -four
match was one of the most inter-
eSting matches in the history Of the
game. The finals were played be-
tween the team of Mrs, A. M.
Sobel, Howard Schenken and Peter
Leventritt of New York, Charles H.
Goren and Sidney Silodor of Phila-
delphia, against Waldemar Won
Zedt-witz, Harry J, Fishbein, Tobias
Stone and Alvin Roth of New York
and Simon Becker of Philadelphia.
At the end OF the first quarter,
Mrs. Sobel's team was behind 240
points. At the halfway mark, her
team had picked up $50 points and
taken the lead by 40 points. Mrs.
Sohel did not play the third quar-
ter, as 1t was her turn to stay out,
and their lead was cut down to the
narrow margin Of 80 points, She
came back in for the final quarter,
during which her team picked up
more than 5000 points, winning the
match by 5000.
Some of those points. however,
came as a donation from Tobias
Stone and Alvin Roth, on the hand
shown today. For the next 10 years,
wherever bridge players meet, they
will argue about this classic. The
of course centers around
Roth;s bid of six clubs.
When Stone bid two hearts and
Roth bid three hearts, they had
evidently agreed on the suit. Stone
then showed his second suit with
the bid Of four clubs. Roth claims
that when he bid five clubs, his
partner knew he was just cue-bid-
ding. Stones bid of five diamonds
was to show the ace of diamonds,
and Roth presumably figured that
his bid OF six clubs would show no
losers in that suit. Many claim that
Stone should not have passed the
bid of six clubs.
Stone went down 600 points at
six clubs. At the other table, Mrs.
Sobel's team bid and made six
hearts. As this calamity happened

They called it the
Pursuit of Happiness p

T~HEY tell you it's over there, where the
l. guard stands on watch So you walk
expectantly over the marble floor, hearing
your footsteps shatter the hush and the quiet
all about you. And then, suddenly, there you
are-peering at it.
And there are the famous signatures John
Hancock. Charles Carroll, of Carrollton.
Samuel Adams. Button Gwinnett.
The words, scrawled on parchment are
hard to read at first. But you know by heart
the opening paragraphs - remember them
from your history book in the sixth grade.
I'VE hold these truths to be self.evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed BY their Creator ,vifh certain an.
aliemable Rights, that among these are Life.
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
You've heard those words, you've seen
them-many times. But somehow, standing
there before that wrinkled parchment, you
become conscious of meanings that used to
be only sounds in the music of the language.
Those men who signed that document
called it "the pursuit of Happiness. The right
that every man was to enjoy in this new
country was the right to pursue happiness. To
roll up his sleeves and 90 after it and struggle
and win it with his own two hands and his wits.
And because the people who first heard
those words understood them-because they
realized that their right was one of pursuit.
they went out with strength and courage and
faith to hew quarries out of Vermont rock
to dig mines in the West Virginia earth, to
build mills along the rivers of North Carolina
Their sons, too, understood - and sucked
oil out of the sand and harnessed the power
in steam and welded one end of the country
to the other with rails of STEEL
Because of that right-and because they
understood 1.-THE people who came to this
country, and their sons, made it the richest,
most powerful most restless nation on earth.
Today, there are those who voice other
words Words not of courage or strength or
faith. Words of despair. We are too wise, too
old, too civilized, they say, to pursue happi.
