United Press Stan Correspondent.
 New York, Dec S1.--(UP)--A gentleman mighty near as big as Primo Camera offered to practical iy knock Ely Culbertson's block off last night and Culbertson, af- ter running the same person off the premises, sat down and in- creased his lead over Sidney Lenz --in the Culbertson.Lenz contract bridge match, of course-by 3,900 points.
 The two lead lids which cap the Waldorf-Astoria, where the match Is being played, jiggered and jumped when Ely and Sir Derrick Werhner, a 260-pound person from the British Isles, stood toe to toe and called each other fancy names.
 Sir Derrick, who stopped to get into the press room, was sitting there, a half hour before game time, talking to the boys who write. Then Ely Culbertson, gardenia in place on his lapel entered smil- ing.
 How about that challenge you made to me?" said Sir Derrick, In his best upsing manner.
 So Ely ups to him and he says:
 (Which challenge do you have reference to?"
 The challenge" said Sir Der rick, you made to me about q bridge match last July"
 You" said Ely, as he ups to Duke Derrick, must have your feathers on wrong"
 So Sir Derrick, who Is slated to be next president of the American Bridge league, well--he ups to Ely and he says:
 "You're yellow backsiider. You're q cheap nobody.
 Don't" screamed Ely, "call me yellow. You will get your teeth knocked down your throat. Will somebody please close the door 50 nobody can see me wallop this person 2" (Mr Culbertson appar- ently forgot that this all happened in the press room, with a dozen reporters rapidly scribbling notes on move for move, word for word).
 And so Ely ups and says to Sir Derrick:
 "You are nothing but 500 pounds of English beef. Five hundred pounds of English beef! Do you think I'd dirty my fingers by playing at the same table with you you 500-pounds of English beef your English accent. l don't like you. think you're minor-shark in bridge. Now beat 1t out of here and let me alone"
 We'll, Sir Derrick-bless Is soul stuck along. Sir Derrick was kind of put out. You can imagine the surprise when Ely cut loose again.
 Don't you call me d lair." Ely screamed--Sir Derrick did 1t, pom my word--"you are . nobody and you amount to nothing"
 They doubled and redoubled their fists but nobody was set on the redouble.
 Sir Derrick called Ely a coward and a liar, and Ely threatened to hit Sir Derrick 80 hard his whole family would feel it.

5000 EXHIBITS
 AT THE POULTRY
 SHOW IN BOSTON
Said to Be the Greatest One Ever Staged in America -Th ere Is Everything There
By FRANK MURPHY United Press Stan COrresIlOndcnt)

Boston, Dec 31 (UP)--The birds to blame for that rusty old riddle about (Which Came First. the Hen or the Egg" were on exhibition in I Mechanics building today at the Boston poultry show.
 Daniel Webster won most of the prizes with poultry from his Wren tham farm when the show was in- augurated In tent on Boston Common about 83 years ago, but he'd find focks of competition at the current renewal. The 6,000 ex- hibits are said to make the show the biggest ever staged in America.
 Society. by the way. has develop ed quite n fancy for poultry rais- Ing. Henry P. McKean of Phila- delphia and Beverly is taking most of the honors for white leghorns at the show, and the exhibits of William II. Vanderbilt and Dr Halsey De Wolf. both of New York city and Newport, are among the leaders.
 Leaving the practical aspects of this poultry business to your egg dealer and considering it from the aesthetic viewpoint. the 1892 fash ions in feathered life are extreme ly chic.
 What more striking contrast could the well-dressed woman de- sire, for instance. than that worn by a proud product of Poland, the white-erested Polish black hen--jet black feathers topped by a bushy white hat that looks like chry- santhemum.
 In q monster pool in the center of the exhibition hall are a virtual league of nations of water fowl. the priceless collection of Dr w.. J. Middleton of Acton.
 There are Canadian. Egyptian. Chinese, and native geese; Indian, Chinese. FOrmosan, Chilian, Cuban. Tasma nian. Mexican. and native ducks; cranes from Africa. and two black swans from Australia. It appears that Ireland Is represented, until an attendant explains that the green streak on the neck of q chunky. white duck Is the penalty of rubber-necking against fresh paint, and that the crltter is a domestic Embden.
 Dr Middleton has other interest. Ing exhibits. including two harm- less- looking Mexican road runners, little bigger than pigeons but equipped with sharp beaks that enable them 10 kill rattiesnakes with ease.
 Perhaps the pr0udest birds at the show are three r00sters. SO weli- hammered they don't have to be cooped up. They belond t0 Frank- lin W. Perry Of Lynnneld Centre. wh0e laima he was the first man in the country t0 train . rooster 10 behave himself in public.
 Perry says he put the rooster ln solitary confinement for tive days without food. When released 4 was SO hungry ii ate out of his hands. and In this way he gained its confidence. Tine rest was easy, says Perry, who named two 0f hIs trained rO0Htern Amos n Andy.
