CONTRACT BRIDGE
DRASTIC NEW RULE ' PENALTY FOR DELAYED BIDS. LONDON, May 31. Owing to players’ dilatoriness in bidding—an Austrian took 15 minutes to decide—the director of the International Contract Bridge match at Grosvenor House was forced to make a new rule. That was that if a player took more than five minutes to bid* his side , would be penalised 300 points. The admonition so upset the Austrians that they lost their match against England by the record margin % of 2520 points. ■
