 It was not his own money Lenz offered. Earlier in the evening he said that Culbertson's betting ac- tiyities .irritated him no little. and that he will not wQger a cent on the outcome.
 Lenx and Jacoby realized a net profit of 3,S35 points on the eve ning's play, winning seven of the twelve rubbers. Their lead of b,6bO, does not, by any means. con- stitute an insuperable obstacle for the Cuibertsans since there are 122 rubbers yet to be played. But since the trend has been toward Lenz since the beginning, even Cul- bertson's own supporters were shaking their heads gravely during the session.
 At one point = during the last rubber of the night Lenz and Jacoby were leading by 7,030 points and the Culbertson boys were going around gnawing as their fingernails.
 The. fourth session clarified the problem of time bit. The match was running far behind the sched- ule which calls for eight rubbers a night. They were eight rubbert behind at the start of last nights play, finished their scheduled eight and added four more. To-night'i session, a special meeting called to make up the deficit, should put the contest several rubbers ahead of the schedule.
 The dramatic highlight of last nights session made before play started, when Jacoby. who is 29 and an ex-football player. claAhed with Culbertson and came near punching Eiy's nose.
 Jacoby arrived at the playing room at o'clock scheduled hour for the match to start. Find. Ing the other players missing, he ordered n meal brought up to an adjoining room. Fifteen minutes later the Cuibertsons and Lens drifted in and Culbertsoh promptly began to badger Lenz because ot Jacoby's absence.

 At 7:20 Jacoby walked in. Cui.
