Some such organizations do contribute a part of their profits for tax deduction purposes but that is different. It is a personal thing with players of more than 4,000 ACBL franchised clubs, some of which stage three charity games a year with 90 per cent of entry fees being earmarked for specifically named beneficiaries.

BRIDGE COLUMNISTS took the measure of Chicago's top experts, Al Weiss and Arthur Glatt, on Championship Bridge over WFLA, last Sunday afternoon. Victors were Albert Morehead, New York Times, and Florence Osborne, New York Herald-Tribune, with a margin of 980 points. Each side missed a slam. In the first hand Glatt opened with a club holding 17 points.

Weiss, with 7 spades to a queen, responded with one spade which Morehead over-called with a precarious two-heart bid. Holding four hearts to the queen, Glatt doubled for penalty and Weiss unwisely let the double stand to pick up a mere 300 points when slam in spades was a certainty, good for 430 below the line, 500 abov and $250 cash bonus. The last hand was also good for a spade small slam and probably would have been bid earlier in the contest but as' game would give them victory Mrs. Osborne took the bid in hand rather than chance the two in the bush. As the series continues.

Charles Goren, syndicated bridge writer for The Times, becomes more at home on the screen and his analyses are more pointed. He gets closer to his viewers and his pronouncements carry more weight, even when players sometimes cross him up.

"We are not tied down to strict rotation," he said, "but it has worked out that way so far." LAST YEAR the men's team tournament was held at Ten Pin Lanes while the singles and doubles were held simultaneously at Sunshine. The city tournament is a money tournament but it is also a handicap meet.

To enter all events costs a kegler $14, broken down into $4 each for singles, doubles and team events and the extra $2 for the all-events. The prize money is returned 100 per cent on a basis of one in seven entries. All money prizes except one scratch winner is in the handicap division.
