Chris and Norma turned a corner

the time they had reached the
apartment building the rain was
coming rapidly. Safe in the shelter
OF the entrance the girls waited and

There was no more said that eve

rainfall continued several hours

the heat wave seemed definitely

TT was two weeks later TO the day.
The long hospital corridors
smelled unpleasantly Of disinfect-

No n was in sight but from rooms
beyond there came hints OF muffled
activity.
Chris stood in the doorway OF a
waiting room. looking down the
hall. She was pale and her hands
were gripped together. Her lips
were a tight red line that wavered
unsteadily. Chris eyes. eager. fear
full. sought the end Of the corridor.
No one appeared.
She turned to the young woman
az the desk. Are you sure you'll

Won't they let me see her now?

Culbertson was not following the

that system.
Culbertson revealed Thursday
night that he has a total of $7,700
on himself and his wife to win the
match OF this sum, $4,000 was
wagered against Lenzs $1,000 at the
start, the winnings to go to charity.
Culbertson has bet S1,500 to ia

received Thursday telegram from
a man in San Francisco stating that
$500 is on the way east, and an
other man from Newark, N. j., came
in with 500 to bet on LEM and ia
CODY. Culbertson posted checks for
$1,000 and 5000 to cover these bets.
During Thursday evenings play
he was overheard trying to urge
Lenz to put up $4,000 against his
own $4,000 on the outcome. LEM

LEM LEAD IN
BRIDGE SLICED
BY CULBERTSON
Ely Knocks Foes Margin
Down to 1875 Points in
Thrilling Game.
BY ii. ALLEN SMITH
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE post
mortem boys passed up sleep and
even breakfast today to null and
fuss over the results Of Thursday
nights session in the Culberson-
Lenz contract bridge battle-a ses-
sion replete with quibbling, quar-
reling, and the plain garden variety
of back-talk.
II It's possible for a half dozen
rubbers of bridge to be thrilling,
then Thursday nights affair was
precisely that through six hours Of
play, until Ely Culbertson, on the
last hand of the final rubber, made
the company's eyes pop out with
the most spectacular hand of the
match.
Sidney LEM and Oswald Jacoby,
practitioners of the official, or
1913 system of bidding, had been
plugging along, holding their lead
over Ely and Josephine Culbertson.
Then, like a bolt out of the blue,
Ely bid spades, with only four
trumps to the nine, for game and
two over-tricks, slashing 720 points
off the Lenz lead and capturing the
evenings honors for himself and
wife by the lean margin of 260
points. Lenz and Jacoby now stand
1875 points ahead.
Coup None Had Expected
Capers were cut on the tenth
floor of the Hotel Chatham after
that sixteenth rubber was COM
pleted. 1t was a coup no one had
expected.
The squabbling, chiefly between
LEM and Culbertson, had its origin
in Lenz's protest that Culbertson
was delaying the game.
He's not been on time any one
of the three session." LEM said.
Talk about Jimmy Walker. This
fellows got him beat"
Since $50 rubbers have to be
played in order to determine which
team plays the better system, an
extra session has been ordered for
Saturday night at 7. They will
play again Monday and Tuesday.

clared of Culbertson, speaking to
referee, for ten minutes without
moving-acting like he was studying,
when it's plain there's only one play
he can make"

repartee, promptly offered to let his

Managua, Nicaragua, Jan 2-UP) "A patrol of 50 United States mar ines today hunted group cf bandits who attacker q small marine patrol from ambush, killing eight men and woGnding two with heavy rifle fire.
 The wounded men, Private Mack Hutcherson of Shreveport, La, and Private Frank Austin Jackson, Of Lawrenceville, Ga, were expected to recover. The dead and wounded were brought here in trucks. Bandit casualties were reportedly eleven killed and four wounded.
 The eight marines killed were:
 Sergeant Arthur M. Palrang, next of kin. father Arthur Palrang, Fort Lyon, Colo.

 The bandits were said to have been commanded by Miguel Ortiz, a chief of the rebel leader Augustine Sapdi- ThoV 1ffaolSn fhn m rinng u bi a the patrol was repairing telephone lines two miles south of Achaupa, in the department of Nueva Segov!a. The marines were commanded by Sergeant Arthur M. Palrang, of Fort Lyon. Col.
 The bandits, hidden in bushes, opened a heavy fire in front of the patrol, followed by barrages from the right flank and the rear. Rifles and automatic rifles took the life of one marine in the first volley. His comrades hastily dismounted from their mules and began a battle that lasted for two hours.
 Private Hutcherson was ordered to return to Ocotal for aid. He was wounded from ambush and crawled into a cornfeld. Authorities received first news of the attack from na- tives.
 Private Jackson was the last man in the party left alive. He was wounded in the shoulder and hid in bush until relief party arrived.
 While natives were telling the story of the attack at marine camp. one of the mules of the ambushed party strayed into the camp, without a rider. Lieut. Tavern left imme- diately with 25 men from Ocotal, and retdrned with the information that eight men were dead and two seri- ously wounded.

Government Seeks Details

Washington, Jan 2-OUP)-Addi- tional details of the new Nicaraguan outbreak. which caused the death of eight United States marines, were sough by government officials to- day.
 First word of the attack came late yesterday in advices to the navy de- partment from the commanding off, cer of the second marine brigade. It was assumed pending further details that a marine detachment had been ambushed by so-called bandits or ir- regulars among Nicaraguan natives.
 At the state department it was said no recent reports of new major political upheavals in Nicarauga had been received. United States inter- vention there dates from 1927 and Augusta Sandino, rebel leader, had warred against the Americans as

 The section in which the marines have been operating is mostly jungle, the tangled underbrush making pro- gress difficult and ambushes hard to detect.

Scovill Outing
 at Rockville Varied Program of Events Will Be Carried Out
 To-day

Several hundred employees of the Scovill Manufacturing Company gathered at Rockville today for their annual get-together party. A var jed program of events, starting at 10:3O o'clock, had been arranged by the committee. The final number of the days chief event of attraction at least for the spectators will be the bathing beauty contest at o'clock.
 In connection with the beauty number of the day Chairman Russell Hickman was confronted yesterday afternoon with a rather unusual problem. He had invited the girl employees of the company to enter the contest. Apparently forgetful of the fact that fame, fortune. a motion picture or vaudeville contract await ed the contestant selected as Miss Scovill, there was no big rush of candidates. In fact, to be very of-- ficial and truthful the modesty Of the girls of the big Scovill Family was such that nary one volun- teered to compete. Did this little thing worry Mir Hickman. Not much. If local talent was not available then professionals would be invited. for there had to be contest. Through the agency or a New York office 10 charming young ladies of classic contours will be present for the event. Spe- cial police arrangements have been made.
 Dancing. concert. baby show, Broadway acts of vaudeville and inn promptu events promised to provide plenty of amusement for members of the big family.
