The following appeared in the Scammon paper dated 4 May 1934: Joe Rice entertained a few of his friends with a nice quiet little stag party last Saturday night, and Sunday morning. The evening and following morning was spent in playing bridge, the boys staying with it until 6:oo Sunday. Rice and his partner, Harry Daily, completely humiliated and annihilated their opponents, Eddie Pryor and Lawrence Fern, who know little or nothing about the game the winners taking twelve of the fourteen games. Fern and Pryor, taken unawares by the superior, uncanny skill displayed by their opponents, got excited and spilled ash trays and grape juice on the floor. Outside of some dirty dishes no other damages was inflicted on the house itself, although one of the boys, a novice at the game was in danger several times when he wasted a trump or went on his partner's king with an ace, or something. Light refreshemnts, salami sandwiches, fig cookies, dry banana cake and coffee, and grape juice, were served daintily by the host, who thought when he fed'em that maybe they would accidentally go home. Bridge is a great game: we love it. --Contributed by L. Culbertson Fern and E. Lenz Pryor. P. S. I'm a good loser, as this news story testifies.--Fern.4
