Dogmeat continued event, O.K., but not in a $20,000 event. Then we beat a professional tourna- ment director and his millionaire part- ner and thereby removed their last chance to qualify, and we followed up this acci- dent by knocking out another pair who had been on the edge_ of elimination. That made three miracles in a row and brought us into our last match needing one more miracle to qualify for the knockout finals and a chance for the money. ?╟úWho?╟╓re we playing??╟Ñ I asked. ?╟úI don?╟╓t know,- Ray said, ?╟úbut I un- derstand it?╟╓s another pair that needs to win this last match to qualify.?╟Ñ A few minutes later our opponents sauntered over to the table. They turned out to be Henry Baer, Dallas attorney and Life Master, and James Jacoby, son of Oswald and himself a bridge column- ist and international competitor. They had just lost to Jacoby Sr. and Curt Smith, and now they were desperate. A director came over and said we were go- ing to play in the ?╟úfishbowl,?╟Ñ the public arena where dozens of kibitzers can look on. We were famous! The public was clamoring to see Cave and me! ?╟ ?╟ Everybody?╟╓s interested in this match,?╟Ñ the director added coldly. ?╟úIt?╟╓s the Ja- coby team?╟╓s last chance to qualify.?╟Ñ ?╟úIt?╟╓s our last chance, too,?╟Ñ I said huffily. ?╟úAmazing,?╟Ñ the director said, with- out intonation. We were allowed to remain at the same table, away from the fishbowl, after I explained that kibitzers made me ner- vous. Ray also voted against the fishbowl on the grounds that he might faint. This satisfied the directors. Alfred Sheinwold, the boss of the whole tournament, came over to make sure that everything was in order for this crucial match between the Jacoby-Baer team and the Cinderella entry of so-and-so and so-and-so. A woman embraced young Jacoby and said, ?╟úI wish you luck.?╟Ñ ?╟úWish him luck??╟Ñ Cave grunted. ?╟úHow could he have any more luck than to be playing against us??╟Ñ s ?╟úYes, but you guys are just horsing around,?╟Ñ Jacoby said in mock serious- ness. ?╟úThis is my business. You are threatening my livelihood.?╟Ñ: ?╟úSome threat!?╟Ñ I said. continued Among the world?╟╓s top 12 Scotches there is a King...King George IY This very Scotch spreads its royal cheer around the world at a prestige price?╟÷$7.28 in London.
