players, and the cards were cut
for choice of seats, but not OF
partners, in the usual manner.
Mr.. Lenz drew the high card
the knave of spadeS-and thus
had the choice Of seats.
Surrounding the table were
three dignitied referees and two
official scorers. A screen had
been thrown across the center of
my drawing room, and behind the
screen stood anxious representa-
tives of the press.
Nervous With First Hand
In an adjoining room a dozen.
telegraph instruments were click
ing, giving the details in con-
nection with the opening of the
game.
I confess 1 felt very nervous
as I picked up my first hand.
AS I have stated earlier, the
hands held by my partner and
me were a deadly monotony of
uninteresting cards, but our in
terest in the game was kept
keenly alive by the magnitude of
the struggle upon which we had
embarked.
It is true that in the first ses-
sion Mr.. Lenz and Mr.. Jacoby
held most of the aces and kings.
but Mr.. Culbertson and I had
most of the luck. That luck was
ours because our adversarieS
failed, at least so I feel, to cash
in on the values they held.

HANDED LAST RUBBER --MRS. CULBERTSON

Mr.. Jacoby overcalled with one
spade, my partner bid two hears
and Mr.. Lenz bid two spades.
I then disclosed not only my
double stopper in spades but the
even distribution of my hand by
bidding two no-trump. This bid
Mr.. Jacoby passed and my part
ner bid three hearts, which, as
later analysis proved, was the best
bid in the hand. The contract
of three hearts was made and
the rubber was over. Mr.. Jacoby
handed us the rubber. I should
have lost five tricks.
When the score was totaled up
I found that our opponents had
scored 1925 points, while our
total was only 1920 margin
for them on the rubber of lO5
points. and a total margin for
the evening of LIS points.
Two Slams Missed
The bidding of our opponents
was not extremely accurate. Two
slams were missed in the bidding,
one of them being hand Nc. 10,
