LENZ TEAM IS FAR IN REAR New York, Dec. 24—(UP)—Sidney S. Lenz, 58-year-old Maestro of the bridge tables, sat himself down in his suite at the Waldorf-Astoria today, edged a lean forefinger into his collar and t igged for a minute. then unburdened himself of the following words: “IHere it is,” said Sidney S Lenz "Here it is the night before Christmas, you might say, and where do I stand? I have not got a foot, I hardly, to stand on. And 1 am getting darned mad.” Lenz referred to a little matter i of 14 525 points Ely Culbertson and | various partners have stacked up i around Lenz's ears during 86 rubj hers of their contract bidge match. There are only 54 rubbers to go and, after all 14.525 points is some I thing. Ely Culbertson and his lean | young friend, Theodore A. Lightner i playing the first session of the I match to be held in the Waldorf, j increased their lead by 3,820 poin's last night, over Lenz and his young friend, Oswald Jacoby. There was no hullabballoo occa sioned by transfer of the great con trabt carnival from the Hotel Chat ham to the Waldorf. Culbertson and Lightner showed up in formal dress Lenz, being the new host could erjual that, but Jacoby, a Greenwich villager, came tagging along in a blue shirt. They played eight rubbers. Sid ney Lenz dropped dead off to sleep during the play on one hand. Ely was playing a hand with Lightner as dummy. He teetered .studied scratched his ruse, head and chin finally Lenz's head dropped, ove. ou his shoulder. Culbertson made his play, he tapped Lenz sharply on the shoulder to awaken him. (There ensued a lengthy argument. Lenz insisted that he had a perfect right to go to sleep or i even die—the way Ely was acting. They had just settled the point when it became Ely's turn to lead out of the dummy. He started to ponder again. Lenz promptly slam ]ed his cards, face down, on the table and got out of his chair. "Pardon me Ely,” said Lenz, ‘'but while you’re thinking about this one I think I'll stroll over to a speakeasy and have a drink. Ph be ( back in about 15 minutes, so take your time.” Culbertson, usually flippant, was ' momentarily non plussed. Then he answered: “Go right ahead, Sid. Take one for me. Because there’ll be plenty of time. This play'll be longer than the other one.” o Isreal Bender and wife who left Indianapolis the 12th, arrived at Daytona Beach, Plot Ida on Sunday the 20th making the long trip in eight days. They are located in an apartment there, all set to enjoy 'the winter and send greetings tc j their many friends here.
