MISTAKE BY LENZ ADS CULBERTSON Baron Von Zedtwitz Also Plays Masterfully to Boost Lead to 11,120. By the Associated Press | NEW YORK, December 22.—Heavy gets and a climatic little slam, involv- ing brilliant elmination and end play, | were largely responsible for Ely Culbert- | son’s side being 11,120 points ahead to- | day in its 15v-rubber contract bridge | match with Sidney §. Lenz and Oswald Jacoby. | Culbertson and his partner of a night, | Waldemar von Zediwitz, added 3.025 points to Culbertson's plus, winning four of the six rubbers of the tenth session and making the rubbers stand 38 for Culbertson’s side to 31 for the opposition. The lead exceeds by 4,090 points the largest plus Lenz and Jacoby ever had | in their test of the Lenz system against | Culbertson’s. That plus was 7,030 and | it came after the frst hand of rub- ber 28. Six rubbers short of the half-way mark of the match, Culbeitson, with three different partners, has accumu- Jated a total of 62380 points, as com pared with 51.260 for Lenz and Jacol Never was Culbertson so enthusiastic about the merits of his system. With the exception of two failures to e y | little slam, one of them being queition- able because of a part score, he and the baron, as Von Zedtwitz is known to the bridge world despite his renunciation of the title when he was naturalized, | usually bid all possible. Lenz Makes Mistake. Lenz had little comment to make on | the session except to point out that he had suffered heavily by a mistake of | his own. though saving points_through mistakes of his opponents. (Referring to two failures to contract for slams.) By his_own mistake he meant his first. psychic bid of the match which caused him to be set five doubled and vulnerable and lose 1.800 points.

Waldy Makes Slam. | . oi, Waldv,” broadcast Culbert- gon cnce when the baron failed to raise | him to slam, but there came great | praise when on the last hand of the session Von Zedtwitz added 1.450 points to the score of Culbertson's side in one | lump. A successful little slam when vulner- able and a 700 rubber all at once were due to the baron's skill. It was the! st elimination play of the match and | & master’s touch. | The play was handled so that on the last three tricks Jacoby held only the king and eight spades and the nine of | hearts, Culbertson the ace and seven of spades and the three of hearts, Lenz| the knave and ten of spades and the| five of clubs, the baron the queen and | four of spades and the four of hearts. The baron Jled the four of hearts. Jacoby had to take it. He could do nothing but lead away from his spade king so that Von Zedwitz took a trick with the queen and dummy with the ace. A finesse would have failed be- cause of Lenz's holding of the king and ten. Hard Slam to Play. ‘This was Culbertson's communique: “A hard slam to play.

Our good fortune did not last long. On the next hand we were set one trick and then our opponents won the rubber with'a four-heart contract. After having scored the first game of the second rubber things began to break badly again for us. We cquld have won the rubber in short order by a pure guess on the part of Mr. Jagoby, who had to decide whether to play for a break in trumps or to risk a club ruff by our opponents. He played for the break in trumps and the guess was wrong. One of our subsequent sets which we took to save game turped out decidedly too expensive: we were yulnerable and set five tricks doubled far a loss cf 1.800 points. While 1 have no excusé to offer for this set. it certainly i5 ex- ceptional to be set five tricks at a three diamond contract hclding six to ace jack with partner holding the king of diamonds twice. We finally lost the rubber, the big- ! gest ome of the match to date, which cost us 2580 pofnts. Continued on Defensive. We contipued on the defensive as our opponents outheld us. Our. next sacrifice bid did not turn out too bad- Iy, as we were sei three tricks un- doubled for a loss of 150 points when opponents could have made game. The rand follows: LENZ (NORTH). | Official System Contrast. | Contrasted with the approach princi- | ples of the Culbertson system are the principles of the official system, played by Mr, Lenz and Mr. Jacoby in their | bridge tournament of 150 rubbers with me and my partners. In the official system a suit or no trump bid of one shows a hand of minimum strength. | It may be of as little as two tricks. The | game invitation bid of two shows a hand in which the prospects of game are bright, I partner has some little strength, while the game demand bid of three shows a hand upon which part- ner requires little more than a fervent | hope in order to assure the making of a game. Of course, these principles are in di- | rect conflict with those upon which the | approach-forcing system is based, and | the sugg=stion made by one of the pro- tagonists of the official system that he | would. incorporate the one-over-one system in the official system is practi- | cally tantamount to saying that he will | equip a tandem bicycle with a high- powered engine. Fifth Hand Example. The practical value of the approach | principle and the use of bids of one and | low responses to show strong hands came in the fifth hand of the second | rubber of the night. when. due to the fact that the strength of the combined | hands held by Waldemar von Zettwitz | tand me was concealed, we defeated the ‘contract of three diamonds, undertaken by Mr. Lenz five tricks for a penalty | of 1800 points. the largest swing up 1o | that point in the match.
