With this afternoon s 30 deals to go, they havea 23.-pointlead on the field of 40 experts from ail over the world. Top on a board in the final is 19. The contestis an excenentone every paix'wQl haveplayed a three-board set against every other pair by the end of today's session. In the Ladies Pairs, the top two paiirs exchangedpositions from the second to the third session. Betty Ann Kennedy and Carol Sanders, who were Venice Cup winners in both 19N and 1976, moved to the front, tak ng a 16 I/2-poilnt lead over Axnex'kcansJudi Hadin and Kathie Wei The conditions of contest ior the ladies event are the same as fox the Open Pairs Throughout the quahog rounds the Brazilian pair of Gabriel Chagas and Pedro Paulo Assumpcao was up there with the leadexs all the way, ending the six sessions in first place. They had a bad first session.in the fiLnal, and although they have fought their way back to the 'middle of the standings, they are effectively out of the race for the title. But Brazil isn't out of the race not by a long shot I The other Brazilian pair, Marcelo Branco and Gabino Cintra, also had their.third straight good session, and as. a result they are the only pair within less than 50 poi@s of the front-running Canadians. Branco and Cintra, who were members of Brazil's world champion Team Glyxnpiad squad at Monte Carlo in 1976, have a 35 l/2-point lead on the third-place pair of Hoger Bates and John Mohan, the top U. S. pair. In the Ladies Paixs, three other twosomes have a reasonable chance of overtaking the leaders. Mari.sa O'Andrea and Luciana Capodannoof Italy were one board behind Hadin-Wei, and right on their heels were Americans Jacqui Mitchell and Gail Moss as well as France' s Claude Blououit and Elizabeth Delox, The defending champions in the Open Pairs, Bob Hamman and Bobby Wolff, were standing ;., eighth, but they were more than four boaxds behind the leaders an almost impossible margin to overcome in one session.. Hixi Markus, defending Women's Pairs champion and two-time winner of the event, apparently will not win this time she and partner ¹kki Gardener of Great Britain are almost 200 points off the leaders' pace. 0 4' OPEN PAIHS Standings aftex 3rd final session pairs ranked 21-40..
