Lenz Does Not Consider 8,980 Points Much of a Victory. BY SIDNEY 8. LENZ. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 12.—A short time ago I won in an evening’s play at contract bridge 12,800 points. I have heard of more than twice that number of points being won in & single session of play. I would say, therefore, that the loss of 8,980 points in 20 sesslons of play consisting of 150 rubbers could hardly be construed as decisively proving that one bidding system was perfect and the other was & flop. When the location of & single card can easily mean a dif- ference of 2,000 points or more, the “old devil” distribution can cempletely wreck systems, high honors and correct play. The only way for a fair test is to play in duplicate, where & team of four plavers have equal opportunity to show thelir skill both on offense and defense. Mr. Culbertson states that he chal- lenged me to & duplicate match, but to his great regret I preferred to accept the pair match, where luck would enter largely into the game. As an actual fact, I accepted his challenge to the duplicate match and then he made the impossible conditions that he must be permitted to have the selection of my team as well as his own. It is well known that a team of four is only as | strong as its weakest member, so I would have been very foolish to play such conditions. In the pair match that we played his restrictions as to my partners allowed me freer scope, on comparatively small num- | ber of players being barred. | Amused by Rival's Claims. The endeavors of Culbertson to prove | that every loss I sustained was entirely | due to my system, while his system was | responsible for his gains, is rather | amusing, when it was not pitiful. To quote from & Culbertson syndicated | article: | “A fortunate result for us was re- corded on hand 239, in which, due to the official system opening bid of two no trumps, our opponents played & hand for a game, which, using approach methods, could easily have been bid for a slam, which was made laid down.” | On this deal only 11 tricks could | have been made, unless the low card | of a worthless four-card suit was estab- | lished by playing the ace, king and low | card from the three-card suit in the| corresponding hand. Possibly & dozen times Culbertson pointed out that he was fortunate in making slams that he could not bid, because they depended uplntn & finesse or the lucky break of a suit. Quoting again from the same article: “I blame myself for our failure to reach a slam on the third hand of rubber 42. My partner, after Mr. Ja- coby passed, opened with a bid of one | spade. Mr, Lenz passed and I, with a part-score of 40, made the bid of two | hearts. Every one passed and I made | six hearts, although both king of clubs | and king of hearts were unfavorably situated. I think I could bid this hand better another time.” Early Hand Recalled. A casual Culbertson summary tends to show that his system can do no wrong, while the official system must be at least 100 per cent wrong, but, never- theless, I will continue to play it and glory in the handicap J am allowing the other fellows. Just a word should be said anent one of the early hands I played and made a bad mess of: Mrs. CULBERTSON. 8—10 72 H—J 108765 D. —J C—AJ2 JACOBY. West. North. Pass 2 Diamonds Pass 3 NoTrump Pass 4 NoTrump Pass Pass Pass After my partner had bid four no trumps, Culbertson went into a partial | trance for several minutes and I was a bit frightened that he had died. | The hesitation could have been a psychic attempt to keep me out of a slam bid or merely consideration of a spade sacrificial declaration. Culbertson Made Similar Error. However, when the dummy went down the slam in diamonds was at once apparent, and I was sorry that my part- ner had not given me one support in | that suit. I played the hand like a | poor drib, under the impression that the | declaration was really diamonds, and | was defeated two tricks before I dis- covered my error. There Was no excuse | for my mistake and I am not attempt- | ing the slightest justification, but I was rather surprised in Culbertson stating, as he did the following day, that I had | bid and played the deal badly and say- ing nothing of my mental lapse, which, of course, he knew. I have received | dozens of letters from readers of Cul- bertson's newspaper articles asking me to explain how I could have played a | hand so terribly. | Curiously enough, Culbertson made a | precisely similar error on hand 119 and | was so fussed that he twice led out of | the wrong hand during ehe play of the deal. I hardly felt it would be playing cricket to speak of it during the match, but now that it is over I think it is of interest that I knew after the play of the first trick of Ely’s misapprehension as to the declaration he was playing He was defeated on the deal only be- cause he had forgotten what suit he was playing and would have had a sim- ple game hand if played at the correct declaration. 1 will be glad to explain this interesting deal in tomorrow’s East.

It is & clear case of atavastic throwback to my early days of bridge in the Caucasus, where I subconsciously played- what is now called the official system. And there is no consolation in the fact that my op- ponents allowed me to be set four tricks undoubled, but then perhaps from the fact that never before in the match had I raised on three little trumps I owed my escape from & penalty twice as great. The following hand is another fair illustration of how I ran amuck and was spurred on by a very long suit—a temptation which requires years of practice to resist completely. East-West, vulnerable.

Culbertson Contemplates Some of Atrocities He Committed. BY ELY CULBERTSON. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 12—Nothing pleases me more than to write about my Atroclous bids and plays. The squalls (uncontrollable) of conceit are at the root of my troubles in life, in bidding and in play, and a contempla- tion of some of the atrocities commit- ted by me in the contract tournament with Sidney S. Lenz gives me back a feeling of healthy humility that I, and perhaps others, need 50 much. Take, for instance, the following hand, where I ran amuck, spurred on by three tiny spades of my partner’s bi East-West, vulnerable.
