THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 99 =)y 1931. CULBERTSON LEAD | IS CUT'T0 10105 Scene of Battle Shifts to the Waldorf Tonight, ‘With Lenz as Host. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 23.—Ely Cul- bertson and Theodore A. Lightner move to the Waldorf tonight, 10,705 points ahead, for the second half of a 150- Tubber match botween a team ropre- | senting the Culbertson system of con- | tract bridge and Sidney S. Lenz and | Oswald Jacoby playing the Lenz system. | Second best in the matter of penalties | In the eleventh and final session at the | Chatham, ending carly today, Culbert- | son and Lightner lost 415 points and | five of nine rubbers. The rubber stand- ing of the series became 42 for Cul- bertson's side and 36 for Lenz and Ja- coby, the points being 70,255 and 59,550, respectively. Culbertson and Lightner were penal- ized 2,600 points during the session, compared with 2,200 for their rivals. Ono set of 900 came at once against | Culbertson, another of 600. Lightner | also went down 600 in a lump. In a futile cffort to save the last rubber of the session the side lost 1.250 points in three straight hands. Several times during th> session Culbertson was more than 13.000 points plus. Opponents Fortunate. Lenz remarked that his opponents were fortunate in not being vulnerable when they stepped out. Culbertson congratulated himself that his loss was not greater. He thought his opponents grossly underbid on several oceasions through the faults of their system. As an example, when his side had not scored in rubber 78 and had suffered heavily, it got a game at four hearts although lenz and Jacoby could have had a laydown for four spades. game and rubber. Owing to high cards hold- ings in Lightner's hand the four spades probably would have been doubled Quite a swing was saved right there Here is the hand, No. 473: LENZ (NORTH). 7 5 LIGHTNER (EAST) DEALER. 5—3 KQJ9 CULBERTSON (WEST). 54 H—A 10 7 D—10 8 5 c—Q 8 7 The bidding: East, 1 club; South, .

Culbertson opened with the dfa- | mond seven. Culbertson’s bid of no trump without & heart in his hand and nothing high gave him revenge for a previous psychic | bid by Jacoby, which kept Culbertson’s side in a below-game contract in dia- | monds when game at no trump was easy. ach side during the session had a chance to use its distinctive original two bid, and each resulted in a game contract in a major suit. Culbertson Getting Bored. A;. Culbertson and Lenz slipped past | thePhalf-way mark of their bridge bat- tle Lenz yawned. Culbertson remarked that the whole affair was “getting a little boring.” Lightner looked up from his cards and said: “Well, well.” Jacoby adjusted his necktie to a more com- fortable position on his Adam's apple. When the session was over, and peo- ple began telling Challenger Culbertson what a nice host he had been, he raised the point that he was host to every- body but his opponents, and that, by all the honors in the deck, he would not be guest to his opponents in the new theater of battle. . he asked aptly, “can I tell my opponent to go to the devil if I am his guest?” The experts couldn't answer that one, and so they moved on into Mr. Lenz's quarters to ask what festivitles he planned as introduction to his host half of the match, “Heh?- Festivities?” he said with raised eyebrow there aren't going to be any festivities or any other foolish- ness. We'll sit right down and get to miaving_ with the change in TeFnery T wouldn't be a bit surprised if there would be a change in luck.” Theater Party Assured. ‘Then. back to Mr. Culbertson. When would Mrs. Culbertson go back into the match? The first playing day after New Year day. And how about the pro- posal for a one-night stand in a theater for the sake of the unemployed? He broke down and admitted that, because of the urging of Mrs. David Sarnoffl and Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, the theater performance is practically assured. He planned. he said, to take up the matter of technical arrange- ments—an_electric score and pla; board. a glass cage and a theater—to- day. There would be loud speakers, tos, 50 bridge fans who desire to pay moncy for unemployment relief could hear the bidding and the arguments. He also took up the matter of re- rted rivalry between himself and | enz. “There’s no rivalry between us,” he said, “it’s his system!” Once, last night, he told Lenz: “You are going down with flying col- ors, Sidney, but you are going down!” .

With my sin- gleton in clubs and the king of hearts and considering the club bid by West. it was a practical certainty to my mind that my partner held the ace of hearts, even if he had a minimum bid. Perhaps it would have been better if, after my forcing diamond bid, he had given me a warning and bid three no trump.. as no trump re- sponses to forcing bids indicate a mini- | mum holding. Our optimism cost us the rubber, for after we scored the next game our opponents succeeded in making their second game for the rubber. | Miss Grand Slam. | In the third rubber my partner made a noble effort to stem the tice and his interference was probably the reascn that our opponents contented them- selves with only bidding a small slam, although a grand slam was a laydown The hand: NORTH (LENZ). 5—10853 H—K 5 D4 C—QUJT CULBERTSON EAST (WEST).

A bid in a suit of one more than is neces- sary to overcall is usually an indica- tion of a very strong hand, and Jacoby hoped that his bluff bid might have some restraining influence. West, how- | ever. bid three diamonds and East bid three hearts, the latter being an excel- lent bid as it conveyed the information that he had either a void in the suit bid by Jacoby or the ace. Such a bid in the suit originally bid by the oppo- nents is geneally a slam invitation. Culbertson responded with four dia- monds, being quite sure that his partner would not stop short of a game after his three heart bid, but before going any further he wanted to know if his partner had any diamond support. So, | when East bid five diamonds he went | to six. Seven diamonds were made without a finesse. Mr. Culbertson and Mr. Lightner won_the third rubber on_the following veveveyE SHOP at George & Co.

Why then, with their skill conceded, | cid there exist a_difference of 11,120 points when play began last night? It | 15 my opinion that the greater part of this lead is due to the faults and weak- ness of the intermediate two bid. This bid, hailed a few months ago as a cor- ner stone of a system of bidding. thus far in the match has tended only to aistort _the information exchanged by the partners and to leave each in doubt es to the holding of the other. It has had the further effect of putting the players on the opposite side on guard, so that not a single penalty of worth- while proportions has been collected by Messrs. Lenz and Jacoby. On the other hand, due to the fact that a bid of one in the approach- forcing system covers a wide range of bands with strength from the minimum necessary to open the bidding up to MR. JACOBY (SOUTH) Bidding: East Pas Double Double The accuracy of my partner’s evalua- tion of his cards, which were worzhlcs&[ in assistance of my bid, but deadly when opposed to the enemy. was highly com- mendable.

The player who is defending a game con- tract is in the position of a besieged army, and the defensive plays are equivalent to the sorties sometimes made frem the fortress in an attempt to break down the enveloping move- ment.

Roland H. Hartley Monday in- formed Rev. E. J. Flanagan, who had petitioned the executive for permission o take the youth to his Omaha boys’ home. Herbert was convicted recently of the | first_degree murder of Sheriff John L Wormell of Asotin County, Wash., and sentenced to life in the State peniten- tiary. The sheriff surprised him rob- bing a store in Clarkston, Wash, The Governor criticized Father Flan- agan for the manner in which he en- tered the Niccolls case. “After Herbert's trial was concluded | and the boy delivered to the peniten- tiary,” Gov. Hartley wrote, “you en- | tered the case, seizing the opportunity to direct nation-wide attention to your boys' home, facilitated by the sensa- tional publicity that attended the trial. .- ‘Well Ordered Routine. “Sympathetic people, particularly those far removed from the scene of the crime, were stirred by the subtle misrepresentation and persuaded that this boy was being dealt with inhumane- ly and that a grave injustice had been done. “Let me assure these a well ordered routine fills his days. embracing all ac- tivitles necessary to fully develop him, even excelling the opportunities of many boys on the outside.” The Governor said testimony of qualified experts and a study of the boy's past life convinced him it would be dangerous to release Herbert from | the penitentiary at Walla Walla. Hart- |ley pointed out that if Herbert were | permitted to leave the State. Washing- ton authorities no longer would have | Jjurisdiction over him. Gov. Hartley's decision was no disap- | pointment to the 12-year-cid “lifer,” because he was not aware of Fathor Flanagan's efforts to obtain his free- | dom. | REPLIES TO GOVERNOR. J OMAHA, Nebr.
