NEW YORK, March 25. (AP) Mr.
itnd Mrs. P. Hal 8lm are off to
flying start in their long-awaltd
battle? of aces and kings with Mr.
and Mrs. Ely Culbertson.
The rotund Sims nnd his versatile
wife, Dorothy, emerged from the
opening clash of opposing contract
bririfie systems with a margin of
2200 points, which they gained in
winning three of the four rubbers
played last night. The match em
braces 160 rubbers and la expected
to last throe weeks.
Mirny Kibitzers.
More thnn 60 bridge notables and
experts gathered around a roped-ofl
area in the green room at Culbert
aon'i da luxe Crockford'a club to
see the start or the bridge epic,
which Culbertson saya will cost him
a 1,000.000 in prestige If he lose.
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. But nftrr both sides
became vulnerable, Mrs. Culbertson
bid and made three no trump, diving
the first rubber to the Culbertaons.
It was the only hand she played
all evening.
Bid By Systems.
With the score 800 against them,
Mr. and Mrs. Sims took the next
three rubbers by scores of 880, 010
nnd lft 00.
Bidding wae according to the sys
tems advocated by the opposing
players, with most of the hands
being of ordinary strength. In the
fourth rubber, Slma bid and made
the only slam of the evening.
A tabulation of the 17 hands
played showed that between them
Mr, and Mrs. Sims held 42 aces and
SB kings, while the Culbertsons held
9fl ares and 83 kings.
'Our opponents played splendidly,
but held too many acea against us,"
Culbertson snld at the end of the
lrat session.
It la Culbertson'a theory thnt in
1000 hands the variation in card
luck is not more than per cent,
a theory he hopes to demonstrate
In the present match.
