SENSATIONAL Squirt

Thursday =,

NEW York, Jan. 8.-tP)-A sensa-
tional squirt in the home stretch by
Sidney s. LEM and Commander Win
field Liggett, Jr., left Ely Culbertson's
side only 8.770 points ahead Friday In
the contract bridge match. 1t will
end Friday night with the playing of
the last six of $50 rubbers.
BY the largest gain of any session
by either side-5,40 points-Lenz and
Liggett reduced Culbertson's plus last
night to the lowest figure 1t has been
since before Christmas. Culbertson
and a new partner Of one night. How
ard Schenken, a New York importer,
won only one of seven rubbers and
netted only so points In that. They
failed to score in two rubbers.
The rubber standing Of the series
became "a for Culbertson and 70 for
LEM, the points 1920 for Culbert-
son and l09, 470 for LEM.
There remained no doubt with neu-
trail experts that Culbertson would
collect his long-end bets Friday night,
yet his opponents in the world of con-
tract will find much room to doubt
the value of the long match as test
Of rival bidding systems.
Out of the match will emerge the
genial commander as great pinch
hitter. For Al rubbers in which Lig-
gett has played in place Of Oswald
Jacoby, who had dispute with LEM,
the plus of Lenz's side Is SOTO points,
making it virtually as impossible for
Liggett to have deficit as for LEM
to win the match.
Mrs. CAllbertson will be opposite her
husband at the card table again FRI
day night. For the 81 rubbers in
which she has taken part the plus of
Culbertson's side is only 155 points.
Before last nights session gilbert
son praised Schenken for precision
in bidding and play and said his
fault, II any, was his excessive sound
ness. Comment on hands dictated by
Culbertson during the session indi-
Gated he believed misplay by Schen-
ken was responsible once for Liggett
winning game and rubber and also
that Schenken's bids could have been
better.
LEM and Liggett had q far better
run of hands and might have gained
more points by a few doubles. Gull

sets, vulnerable and non vulnerable,
