; Everyone, practically, know who

: thing that wQl eoene out but very t
few know who the best bnoce players
in the state cf Oregon are. Golf
has its Bobby Jones, tennis its Big
Bill Ttlden. football its Poor Horse
- men. but the greatest of America's
indoor sports has no proclaimed
caampioo.
' Just who the beet bridge players
In the state of Oregon may be Is a
question and one guess is as good
as another. In order to determine
the outstanding bridge plsver m the
state, to put bridge on the map as
an indoor sport, and to stimulate in
: teres in a national tournament
soecetlme in the futue. Oregon is
going to have its first state contract
bridge tournament, sponsored by
Llpman. Wolfe and Co. and The Ore
gon lan. The tournament is open to
everyone, men and women, profes
siona and amateur, to determine the
best bridge players cf this part cf
the country.
The tournament will be held on
the evenings of April 22, 23. 24 and
it has been rumored in La Grande
bndge circles that at least enough
players for two tables have been
playing for the past few weeks, and
have attained a degree of skill, that
even with luck excluded a factor
which La Grande authorities as well
