Historical Note on Probability of All Players receiving Complete Suit at Bridge

According to David Wells in his Curious and Interesting Numbers of $1986$, Martin Gardner has pointed out "forcefully" that claims that all $4$ players have received a complete suit in a deal at Bridge has been made far more often than claims that only $2$ players have done so, even though the latter is far more likely than the former.
