Jacoby on Bridge and Local Tragedy in West Virginia
The bridge column describes a complex bridge hand where South misplays, allowing Lou Swindle to turn a potential five trick hand into success. Separately a Hagerstown report details a two year old twin crushed by a dump truck driven by his father in Smithburg, with the other twin Randall alive but the child Ronald reacting in time. Another Cumberland incident notes William L. Messersmith injured when his car left U.S. 40 seven miles east of Cumberland, flipping over.
