NEW YORK, December 9.—The sec-| ond session of the Culbertson-Lenz con- tract bridge match, ending at midnight | 3 slam was bid and made last night, was marked by far more &c- curate bidding and play than charac- terized our rather chort session of Monday evening Our opponents laid down @ withering barrage of aces, kings and queens and stormed our tremches with far greater effect than in the first session. We had stronger forces to counter- | attack than we held on the previous ses- | sion, so that the secend skirmish in the battle of the century ended with | only a slight margin of 360 points’ ad- vantage in favor of our opponents. Last night's plus, therefore, brings Mr. Lenz and Mr. Jacoby up to & 2,075-point ad- vantage. The seven rubbers played proved to be & most interesting bridge game. The result was largely determined by the first slam bid and made. Mr. Lenz opened the bidding on this hand with his forcing three bid.

Then Lenz made his little slam and followed it with a suc- gessful game bid. He said that after the first game of the rubber the Gulbert- sons held three hands on which they could have won the game and the rub- ber, but sacrifice bidding by Lenz and Jacoby saved the rubber and, all things gonsidered, made a difference of some 2,000 points, Less Discussion by Kibitzers.

Mr. Lenz took the trick in dummy and led the knave of diamonds. When it was not covered by the queen, as he had hoped, he took the trick with the ace and then led the nine spot for his first finesse. When it won, the hend was a lay down for six odd.

Ely Culbertson was sitting in the West position and was the . 1 was sitting North, Mrs. Culbertson East and with a forcing bid three diamonds. North apd South, of course, passed each time. Ely's response to the three dia- mond bid was a three no trump, with which he wanted to indicate to his| partner that he had a minimum bid as far as quick tricks were cuncemcd.‘ The partner was not satisfled with this game contract and made & strong slam invitation by bidding four mo trumps, but Biy declined to do any more bid- | ding with his hand, and he was quite | |right in doing so even though he did | succeed in making siam, because the | missing diamonds were equally divided | between the two opponents’ hand. Culbertsons Open With Win. ‘The first rubber was won by the Cul- | bertsons by 985 points and we won the‘ second rubber by a score of 455 points. We all seemed to have settled down to business, as the bidding and play Was | certainly superior to yesterday's exhibi- | ond rubber for us, The hand North—Spades, ace, queen, 8: hearts, 7: diamonds, ace, clubs, King, queen, 1 East—Spades, ; hearts, ace, queen, 9. 6, 4; dlamonds, 9, 5; clubs, jack, 9, 8, 6.

This | hand is a pérfect example for a two | bid in accordance with the requirements of the “1—2—3" official system. It holds almost four quick tricks and over seven probable tricks. West and East passed during the entire action. Jacoby made a positive response, holdinz ome and half quick tricks, normal trump sup- port and some plus values, and bid two no-trump. It was ne for him to make & jump bid as in accordance with the official system he could be sure that I would rebid my hand at least once if given a chance. Diamond Bid Safer. I raised the bid to three no-trump, although I believe now that a three dizmond bid would have been safer. It would then have been up to Jacoby to decide whether the hand should be played at diamonds or no trumps. In any case, three no-trump was the final bid and Culbertson, sitting West, led his fourth highest heart, which was the three. East, Mrs. Culbertson, played the ace and returned the six of hearts and to Jacoby's great satisfaction his Jack held the trick. Mrs. Culbertson was perfectly right in piaying the six of hearts, as she wanted io convey to her partner the approxi- mate length of her heart suit, but Ely misinterpreted the play. He had no possible Te-entry and therefore was holding off his king of hearts. He hoped that East would take one of the next tricks and play once more through the hearts he thought Jacoby was hold- ing. Of course, after the jack of hearts trick, Jacoby ran off his diamond and club suits, which, with the ace of spades, gave him four no-trump and the second game of the second rubber. Surprised at Criticism. play there were many whispe outspoken wonderings whether 1 would repeat some of the ‘“mistakes” made last night in our match with the Cul- bertsons. I was surprised at some of the criticisms in the newspapers, for I felt quite satisfied with our lead of 1,715 points. 1 was told in some newspapers by a number of quasi experts as well as by my adversaries, Mr. and Mrs. Culbert- son, how badly my partner and I played yesterday. I took this much to heart and immediately began to look over the records of hands to find out how it had happened that we should have lost thousands of points on them. One of the claims was that we had made three slams, and had not bid one of them, It was true that our side scored three stams, but one of them was made possible by the misplays of our opponents only. This happened on the following hand: North—Spades, 8, 3; hearts, queen, 10, 8, 3, 2; diamonds, king, queen, §; clubs, king, 8, 7. South—Spades, king, 10, 8, king, jack, jack, 10, 6, East—Spades, queen, 2; hearts, ace, 7, 6, 5, diamonds, ace, 9. & 3; clubs, ace, 9, 2 ‘West—Spades, ace, hearts, 9; diamonds, clubs, queen, 5, 4. Opponents Held Honors. My partner and I played the east- west hands and succeeded in making six diamonds. It is hardly worth while to analyze the hand. Every average player will be able to see that even five dia- monds eannot be made against perfeet defense.

P, Photo. 11 out of the 20 honors in the above hand and we had only 9. Another hand on which we made a slam required a number of successful finesses. Every sult had to break, and no good player will risk a sure game on such & speculative bid. I do plead guilty for not having bid the third slam. Ely Culbertson claims great credit for | having bid spades over our six club bid on another hand and going down 1,000 points. As it happened we could have made seven clubs on that hand. Nei- ther my partner nor I had any inten- tion. of bidding it, and it certainly was not a hand on which a grand slam should have been bid. There has been no bidding system developed as yet to make the bidding of many grand slams A very small percentage of grand slams made can be bid, and I have no doubt that even Ely with his beloved approach-forcing system will agree to . We were not vulnerable on this hand, and a not-vulnerable slam is worth 900 to 1,000 points. Ely’s sac- rifice, therefore, was not such a good investment after all. 2 Speaking of all the "mistakes” we | made, let us mention what happened to one slam hand our opponents held. The hand was: North: ace, jack, 9, 3; hearts, , 3, clubs, —Spades, king; diamonds, 10, 8, 7, t—Spades, 8, 6, 5, 2; hearts, jack, 10, 5; diamonds, ace, king, 9, 5; clubs, ace, 4.

After some very lively bidding, during which the opponents had full opportunity to exchange information as | to holdings, ‘they ended up with a five diamond bid. - Pive hearts or six clubs could have been made easily, but the Culbertsons preferred the diamond suit and the contract was set four tricks. I do claim a little credit on that hand as I refused to double l.;"!pne of holding five dlamonds my- I realized even if they did not that they had a sure game at hearts, and I did not want to drive them into that contract.
