probably not more than 10 or II.
The others will be obliged to follow
the proceedings from afar, but their
interest will remain keen.
1t might be more nearly correct
to designate the event as metro
politan tournament instead OF a
national tourney, inasmuch as most
of the participants, as was the case
last year, will be drawn from the
New York and Brooklyn area, where
the players can attend it without
taxing transportation and hotel
facilities. Nevertheless, it is still one
of the two big annual meets Of the
A. c. B. l..
Only minor changes have been made
in the schedule of previous years.
Master points for winners will range
all the way from 10 in the national
amateur teams-of- champion
ship and the Presidents Cup pairs
match to 10 for the master teams
of-four world championship and u
for the master pair world champion
ship with lesser numbers for the
runners-up and the third and fourth
contestants in the major matches
There are no master point reStrlc-
tions on the women's, mems, mixed
team-of- or special games. Par
ticipants in the world championship
master pair event, however, must
have at least 25 master points to
their credit. At least three mem
bers of the masters team-of f-four
game must have 20 master points or
more and the fourth member must
have 10. A Junior master having one
master point will be eligible to play
as a fifth member. Any player who
does not have more than 20 master
points will be eligible to participate
in the Presidents pair event, and
a player with no master points is
also eligible The conditions for the
amateur team-of -four are the same
as for the Presidents pairs. Any
player who has not more than ~
master points may participate, and
a player without any master points is
eligible.

tritt and Samuel KatZ.

With the opening OF the team
games of the Federal Bridge League
in September, the organization will
be starting its 14th year. For these
games a new Interpretation of the
eligibility of a master point player
will be introduced. The rule pro-
vides that team may play only two
master point holders in any game.
Heretofore a player having 10 mas
ter points has been rated as a. mas
ter, but this year the limit has been
raised to 80 points which corre-
spends to the definition of ma
tional master player by the Amer
lean Contract Bridge League. Early
entries are being made to Miss Paris
Keener, secretary of the league.
