CuIbertson, Gossip Weary,
Denies He Will Wed

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Dec. ely Cul-
bertson, the contract bridge author
ity, is weary of the gossips who are
always having me ready to marry
some one"
"Once 1t was 65-year-old Italian
duchess" he complained today. I'm
getting very tired of that sugges-
ton.
Others have had me ready to
marry dashing debutantes and even
q movie actress. But I'm married
only to the queen of spades"
Mr.. Culbertson, who came here
for meeting of the American Con-
tract Bridge, Leagues Rules Com
mittee, said he hoped to remarry
his divorced wife, Josephine, "in a
few years." They separated a year
ago, but remain bridge and busi-
ness partners"
I'm one of those solitary beasts"
remarked the man whose name is
bylaw in bridge. II have to be
alone. Unfortunately. I can't do as
much social mixing as she Desires
Culbertson plans only few minor
variations in his bidding system for
1899, but said the proposed new scor-
ing rules would -necessitate major
revisions for 1910.
He held brief reunion last night
with Mrs. Culbertson, who is among
the open team-of-four competitors
in the current national tourna-
ment. Mr.. Culbertson, who is not
competing, sails in January for a
7-month world tour, during which
he hopes to write his autobiography.

For Minor Suits Is

Another Proposal Asks
Sub-SIum Bonus for
Successful 5 Bid
~ the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 1.-Two drastic
shuffles were recommended today
for the present contract bridge scor-
ing system.
The parlor and tournament games
National Laws Commission proposed
for 1910 presentations:
l. Make a game contract in all
suits at the four-level, except no.
trump declarations, which would
remain at three, and
2. Create a sub-slam bonus for
the five-level, with the present
small and grand slams remaining
unchanged.
Present rules, which have not been
revised since 1885, require a bid of
five for game contract in clubs
and diamonds, the so-called minor
suits" and only four in the so-called
major SUITS" hearts and spades.
Slam bonuses now are awarded at
only the six or seven-or small
and grand-slam-le levels.
Conflict May Result.
The proposed changes were an
hounced in conjunction with the
American Contract Bridge Leagues s
current national tournament Should
the Whist Club of New York, with
Harold S. Vanderbilt its leading
figure, refuse the new suggestions,
a conflict might result. The pres
ent league controls tournament play
and the Whist Club has a tradi-
tional interest in general rules.
"The game needs speeding up,"
commented Oswald Jacoby, gen.
orally termed the games No.
player. Making game in a minor
suit at the four-level will increase
the number of game-going hands
and should simplify and speed up
the game"
Robert McPherran of Philadel-
phia, another tournament player,
declared, That's good idea"

Clevelanders, Norman Resch, How

Charles Kortan became members OF
the company. Two more men, Ed
die Bergman and Jim Kinsella
were added in 1885, and in 1887,
Ben Dickhaus and Herman Botz
were employed as service men.
Thus in 1887 the company boasts a
staff of eight men. All of the men
were introduced to the guests Of
the company on John Deere Day.
Representatives of the John Deere

work.

On January oath the pictures
were shown at Melrose to over 700

day, February IL

There's an old pirate song that
Justify declares "15 men on dead
mans chest" but they won't beat
any louder tattoo than the ten men
that will romp on the basketball
courts in District 22's sub-district
and district elimination matches
early in March.
Coach J. N. Toftness, whose boys
are already looming as a possible
dark horse in the tournament race,
is as happy as a lark-if any coach
can be that happy over a single
item.
This week Principal e. w. Olson
received a bulletin from H. N. Pc
terson, secretary Of District % COM
mittee, who stated that the commit
tee will permit the use Of 10 men in
the tournaments this year, instead
Of the usual eight. The upshot Of
the decision is summed in this state
ment from the bulletin: The COM
mittee's decision is in line with the
recent thought and development
due to the change in the rules elm
mating the center jump. speeding
the game, and placing strain on the
boys"
While great clamor has gone up
all over the state for an extension
of the tournament squad from the
regular 8 to 10, there is no indica-
ton as yet that other districts have
followed suit.
"It'll help us out, believe, more
than any other one team In the dis
trict," Coach Toftness said this
week. All season long he has used
ten men and more in each game,
and cutting his playing squad to 8
men for the tournament would have
meant remapping his whole plan of
attack, he pointed out. Commenting
generally on the move Of the dis
trict, schoolmen here expressed the
belief that the 10-man squad should
be adopted In a sweeping state
