SEV

EVERAL times a year I rezeive from bridge players letters throughout the country telling me about a perfect hand that was dealt. The mathematical odds are so great, against a perfect hand that I am forced to pay little or no attention to such letters.

at t

However,

card party given recently by the Long Island brunch Mall Association of the Railway auxiliary in Flushing, N. Y. Sidney Sherman, a Jackson Heights, N. Y., lawyer,

denit the perfect bridge hund.

Sherman sat South. Arthur M. Moore,-of-Whitestone, N. Y. was North, and Mrs Moore was East.. Henry Braun, of Hollis, N. Y., was Weat. The hand is shown the way there were 11 it was dealt, and number of witnesses who sinte that the deal was authentic.

The four players had been using only one deck of cards. They decid ed that they should have two decks. a new decks was given to Mr and Shermon. He shuffled it, the cards were cut, and this was the result.

It is not too fantastic to see how n new deck could be dealt into the! perfect bridge hand. Suppose that the top 20 cards are 13 spades and 13 clubs, and the bottom 20 or the 20 red cards. If the dealer could divide the deck exactly in half and riffle them perfectly once, he would place a red card between each black card.

divide them Now if he could exactly in half again and once more give them a perfect riffie, he would find that every fourth card was a spade and each of the other suits would be divided in the same way. Therefore, each player would get. 13

of

a suit. This is true of course even

if the cards are cut. All that the cut would do would be to change the one who gets the position of the spade suit, ete,

Mr Sherman realised this and for a half hour afterwards, he tried to repeat what he had doar, but he

out could not come

with another

perfect hand,

Suppose you take a new deck, divide and riffle them as I outlined above, and see it you can deal a perfect hand. However, I am sure that your friends will lay you heavy odds against your accomplishing this almost impossible feat.
