CONDUCTING a bridge match in which the opponents were 6,000 miles away sounds
incredible, but the Culbertsons engaged in just such a game. Using two official
“dummies” who made the plays called for by the players located at Buenos Aires
Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson engaged in the International Contract Bridge match
although they were in New York.
At Buenos Aires an announcer named the plays made by the South American players.
The “dummies” at New York followed these just as though they were opposing the
Culbertsons, themselves. At the other end “dummies” representing the Culbertsons
made the plays announced over the air.
