In Mount Dora on Friday night Harry Bachus drew a flawless thirteen card diamond hand during a bridge game with Mr. and Mrs. Morse Keys. He bids modestly to six diamonds, earning praise from spectators and showing notable skill in the diamond suit. Mrs. Bachus, a golfer active with the Woman Golfers association in Orlando, is noted for her sport as well.
Mr Bachus tried for a hole in one during regular golf play but the golf gods denied him. He had a 13-diamond hand in his favor, a feat he long sought in official rounds, though only his caddy witnessed a practice hole in prior attempts.
