Lively Furry.

lively furry in the meeting. Finally
when Nate B. Spingold Of New York
the incoming president. could be
heard. he explained that the recogni-
ton which the committee had pro-
posed for Mr.. Culbertson was due to
the fact that he had been instru-
mental in bringing about the merger
of the American Bridge League and
the United States Bridge Association
and that without his cooperation one
big league would not have been pos
sible. Mr.. Jacoby gracefully accepted
this explanation, withdrawing his OBJ
lection. and Mr.. Culbertson was elect

a time. however As II the old long
standing feud between Culbertson and
Jscoby was about to be opened again
with possible rupture in the newly
formed national organization.
