CULBERTS0NT TO HAVE
TWO NEW PARTNERS
IN BRIDGE CONTEST
Baron Won ZedtWitz and Harold
Vanderbilt to Join in
Big Games

New York, Dec. 2l.-(P)-Having
overtaken the opposition with 10 as
partner and then acquired lead with
Teddie, Ely Culbertson will team up
with 'Waldy when his 150-rubber
match Of contract bridge with Sidney
s. Lenz and Oswald Jacoby is resum-
ed Monday night. Later he expects to
have Harold as partner.
Baron Waldemar Won Zedtwitz will
play Monday night instead Of Theo-
dore A. Lightner. who has been Cul-
bertson'S partner since Mrs. Culbert-
son withdrew in order to do her
Christmas shopping. The Baron was
scheduled to play some of the match
from the first arrangements. He Is
going away on vacation Tuesday,
hence his substitution for Lightner.
Lightner will be back in the game
Tuesday night to continue until the
holidays are over. Then Mrs. Cul-
bertson will return to play at least ~
rubbers. She is supposed to compete
for one half the match. She has play
ed In 48 rubbers.
Vanderbilt To Play
Culbertson has Harold 8. Wander
bilt, his wealthy amateur friend, in
mind for the last stages of the match.
Vanderbilt, the originator Of contract,
devised bidding methods when the
game was young which differ from
Culbertson's, but will play the Gull
bertson system. He is regarded by
Culbertson as without superior as q
player.
The Baron. son of an Austrian faith
er and an American mother, Is ma
turalized American citizen. He has
renounced his inherited title of the
Holy Roman Empire, but bridge play
ers all call him 1.-The Baron" TO Gull
bertson he is "Waldy." He usually has
played. with Mrs. Culbertson in COM
petition.
Culbertson's team will be 1918
points plus when hand 373, the first of
rubber "a, is dealt Monday night. The
total points are 54.845 and 46,930. Cul-
bertson and partner have won "a rub
bers compared with 20 for the opposi-
ton.
No expert regards the lead as at all
decisive. It might be overcome In one
session. It was largely accumulated
in Is rubbers. Lenz and Jacoby think
it Is based principally on favorable
cards and expect turn shortly.
Change Match Scene
There will be sessions Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday nights and
Saturday afternoon. Beginning with
Wednesday. the scene Of the match
will be changed from Culbertson's
apartment in the Hotel Chatham to
quarters at the Waldorf-Astoria with
Lenz as host until the contest is over.
The last session Friday night saw
a reform in Jacoby's tactics. He
plunged less on deliberate sets and
offered no more psychic bids, which
had been getting him into trouble. All
the players concentrated largely on
bidding enough and no more when
they had good cards.

THREE MEN HELD IN
THEFT OF TURKEYS
FROM moving TRAIN
Tom Brown, Douglas Rinkert,
and Hugh Caya Alleged to
Have Confessed
OTHER ARRESTS EXPECTED
Accused of Stealing 4,3o0
Pounds Of Dressed Birds
Last Monday Night

Three men were in Bismarck jailS
Monday charged with burglary and
grand larceny in connection with the
theft Of 1900 pounds of dressed tut :
keys from a railroad car last Mon
day night. All have confessed. ac-
cording to police.
They are Tom Brown, a transient,
charged with third-degree burglary,
and Douglas Rinkert and Hugh Caya,
local men, charged with grand
larceny.
Authorities indicated that other ar
rests of men implicated In the case
would be made in the next "a hours.
Chief of Police G. ]. Martineson
said Monday noon that Brown had
confessed to secreting himself in a
refrigerator car and rolling out Is
barrels of turkeys onto the right OF
way a few miles east of Bismarck
Authorities say that the man broke
a seal to get into the car and had
pushed the containers out Of the door
while the train was in motion.
Transported by Truck
Caya and Rinkert are charged with
helping Brown break up the barrels
and transport the turkeys q half mile
to U. s. Highway No. 10 where Rim
kert's truck was parked.
The theft of the birds was diSc0v-
cred by Moorhead trainmen who no.
ticed that the seal of the freight cal
had been tampered with.
Martineson uncovered the first clue
as to the identity Of the perpetratol
of the crime after he had arrested
Brown on q charge Of drunkenness
His suspicious were aroused when he
found more than $50 In the mans
pockets, Martineson got confession
from the suspect, he said.
Sheriff's officers found the stolen
birds mixed up with shipment bill
ed to an eastern market soon after the
robbery was discovered.
The theft was accomplished under
the cover of darkness with members
of the train crew having no intima-
ton that anything was wrong.
Value Near $1,50O
Authorities would make no state
ment as to how the thieves managed
to sell the turkeys, valued wholesale
at nearly $500.
Police said that there were mitigat-
ing circumstances in the case against
Rinkert, who is believed to have re-
ceived only $40 dollars as his share OF
the loot. They said that Rinkert, a
truck driver, consented to enter into
the scheme believing that he was to
transport a consignment OF liquor
cached east of the city. It was not
until he reached the scene OF the rob-
berry that he learned that the turkeys
had been stolen, they said.
Brown has previous criminal rec
ord, having served term IN the Nortn
Dakota penitentiary for carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Caya, who is 36 years old, has lived
In Bismarck for many years.
Say Brown Instigator
Authorities said that Brown was
the instigator of the robbery and that
he had planned the details for several
days before the crime was commltteo'
They believe that he made arrange
ments for the disposal of the birds be-
fore attempting to steal them
The case has been surrounded by
secrecy for several days with author
tiles reluctant to make facts public be-
fore arrests had been made.
The turkeys were the property OF
the Armour company and were con-
signed to the Boston market.
