Asheville, June 1—Such things as drawing a perfect no-trump bridge hand, while rarer than a hole-in-one, do happen sometimes. It was demonstrated by Miss Aislie Cross, an Asheville visitor, while playing a lively game with friends here.
The player who accomplished the coup has as a partner Valde Wilson, and her opponents were Miss Maude Torrence and “Bud” Fisher.
Miss Cross held the ace, king and queen of spades, hearts and clubs, and the ace, king, queen and pack of diamonds. Her partner held the 10 of spades, the rest of the suit with diamonds, and opened the bidding with three spades. Miss Cross took tre bid at five no-trumps, and, it made be added, made a grand slam.
Miss Cross is a native of Richmond, Va.
Editor’s note: I don’t play bridge so I asked AI if “tre” was the correct term. It said no, it wasn’t. I don’t know what was meant. Maybe someone who plays bridge could explain this to us.
