635,013,559,600-TO-1 SHOT WINS—The odds against it were
about 635,013,559,600 to 1, say the experts, but a perfect bridge
a hand was dealt at St. John, N. B., recently. William E. Mc-
9 Kenney, national authority and NEA Service bridge editor,
declared that in his 20 years’ association with the game, he
had never before known a perfect hand verified, as was this
one, by several witnesses. Pictured above are the hands and
the foursome that played them. Left to right are Mrs. J.
Reginald Freeman, Mrs. Joseph A. Gray, Mrs. Carl A. Rob-
bins, and Mrs. James T. Turnbull. Mrs. Freeman, the dealer,
opened with a grand slam in clubs. Mrs. Gray bid a grand
slam in hearts. Mrs. Robbins ended it all with a seven-spade
bid, she and her partner collecting 1860 points. Mrs. Turn-
e bull held 13 diamonds, but didn't get a chance to bid. The
prize—a pair of nylons.
