Most of the team members attempted to qualify for the championships at Wimbeldon, but only one, Scott, made the first round, where he was promptly defeated. The doubles team of Junta and Freiberg advanced to the second round before being eliminated...

End-of-season weather was spoiling it, even for the pig iron (Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, whip, etc.), the moneymaking rides that most carnies consider the backbone of their show.

His second-round jump, displaying a good spade suit and extra high-card strength, committed the partnership to game, so Sobel could afford to say three hearts (rather than jump to four), permitting inexpensive exploration for slam possibilities. Goren signaled that his spades were rebiddable. Sobel's four clubs showed...
