tors in the contract bridge match
will strive In the concluding sessions
this week to get the most pf their
carets, aitnougn victory lor ay tau-
bertson's side is a foregone conclu-
sion, In the opinion of heUtrnl ett-
perts. , v V- 1
There will be material for argu -
ment for the vanquished if Sidney
S. Lena nnd his new partner, Com -
mander Winfield Liggett Jr., are able
to reduce the deficit of Lena's side
to below what is was when Oswald
.Tnrohv. rPRiirnpri nn ina' .nnrimr in
a dismite over biddine and Dlav."I
With 30 rubbers left of .the 150
rubber scries Culbertson'!) side is
20.220 points ahead. Of that lead
10,840 points were accumulated white
Jacoby was Lena's partner and 3380
points while fhe commander sat op
posite Lens. Jacoby has played 103
rubbers and Liggett i7. .,. ; .
Culbertson expressed the Opinion
today that with a fair break 4n cards
his lead would be Increased rather
than reduced in the final session.,
tonight, tomorrow night and Thurs
day and Friday nights. ,
.Ho estimated " that Jacoby had
been worth at least 10,000 points to
to Lenz. That Is. if Jacoby had not
been playing, Culbertson would have
1C.000 more pluB. Culbertson would
have been glad to have had Jacoby
as a partner if Lens had not chosen
him.
Tlio lady in the case has something
at stake in this week's play. In the
73 rubbers In which Mrs. Culbertson
has been her husband's partner the
plus of. --the Culbertson's side has
been 3540. Only two rubbers are
necessary for her. to complete , the
portion of the match which the con
tract, stipulates- she -must play, half
of it. But she intends to play
throughout tonight's - rubbers and
the final session Friday night in the
hope of making the lead acquired
while she is at the table as large as
possible. . . -
Culbertson, who has had three
partners already, will have two more
next week. Michael Gottlieb will
be opposite him tomorrow night and
Howard Schenken Thursday night.
There will be no play Wednesday
night. Each of those partners will
desire to make as good a showing
as possible.
