There was sharp contrast In the opposing sides. Culbertson and his wife, Josephine, were attired in evening clothes. Sims wore a baggy business suit, and his wife a tweed walking suit. The first score of the mntch went to the Slmsea when Culbertson was set one on a two-heart bid on the opening hand.
