He will work for hours to get the

right point.
So his hobbies present a nice
paradox. A continental, often
homesick for his native land and
depressed by the hustle of America
but with q mania for speed. A
sensitive man who defied his prac-
teal family to follow his art-but
who loves everything mechanical.
In his history, too, contrast
ab0unds. AS the son Of a uccess
full business man In Budapest, he
knew ease and the promise OF a
secure future. After the break With
his family and while he struggled
to establish himself In the theater,
he knew days when he lodged the
landlord and spent his last pengo
for chocolate bars to sustain him
while he worked as a super In the
Budapest Actors Academy. The
war taught him physical and mental

him luxury and fame.

six rubbers to be played at the final ses-
| sion tonight. At that time I shall turn
| again, as always do in times OF storm
and stress, to my favorite partner, my
wife.
My partner last night was Howard
| Schenken, a member of the CavendiSh
| Club, a recent recruit to the bridge
world team and one of the brilliant
younger generation of players, in the
next to the final session of my l50-
rubber match with LenZ to test COM
| paratively the approach-forcing and the
official systems of contract bidding.
Two-Bid Dangerous.
AS the match nears its close 1t is in
| teresting to observe the manner in
which the issues which caused it to be
| played have been demonstrated at the
card table. Apart from the merits of
the approach forcing system have al
| ways contended that the so-called op-
| tional two-bid, the corner stone OF all
varieties of the official system, was un-
| necessary when it worked and danger
| GUS when it did not. AS great strength
| is required for a response to this ar
tificial bid, which is apparently de-
signed to bolster up ones own courage,
as is required to respond to suit bid
OF one in the approach-forcing system.
All good players concede that with
the use of the opening two-bid on these
intermediate hands, the opponents are
politely warned not to commit suicide.
AT the same time, the exchange Of in
formation between the partners at low
range of the bidding has been pre-
vented. Why not, then, bid one and
let nature take its course?
There have been numerous examples
throughout the match of this bids in
efficiency. There have been none
wherein its value was shown. The rea-
son that such methods cannot work, no
matter how great the exponents of
them may be, is that they are un-
sound basically.
Expert bridge players everywhere long
ago learned the lesson that the ideal
bid is the suit bid of one and that the
early stages of bidding should be kept
low until the partnership can deter
!! mine what the object of the bidding on
that particular hand should be
whether part-score, game or slam. To
reach the best eventual contract, both
partners should know as much as pos
sible about the holdings Of the other.
Cards Favor Opponents.
Before last nights session Lenz and
his partners had used this bid AZ times.
This contrasts with the times in
which We used our opening forcing bid
of two in a suit and the total of Is
times in which we have opened with
bid of more than one The high cards
THAT is, the honor tricks-have
slightly favored our opponents. Distrt-
button has also been in their favor.
Our commanding lead, which makes
the play of the rubbers tonight mere
formality, is largely due to the wrong
methods of bidding used by our OPP
ponents, as exemplified by the bid of
two in a suit on hands Of intermediate
strength.
The first hand Of the evening re-
suited in a game contract of four hearts
for us. In the play Of the hand I
made six, but six could never be bid as
our opponents had all four kings and
Liggett had four trumps to the K, 10.
The hand and bidding were:
| East dealer.
