LENZ. JACOBY 1 PUSH LEAD TO 5.560 POINTS Culbertsons Go Down Again in Bridge ‘Battle of Century.’ BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Stsff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Ely Culbertson's two-demand, approachs' stem of bidding in contract bridge Is getting the tar knocked out of it, if the Culbertson-Lenz match, which goes into its fifth session tonight, is a criterion. Sidney S. Lenz and Oswald Jacoby, playing their new official system, laid down a barrage of aces and kings in Friday night's session which came near overwhelming the Culbertsons. When time was called at the end of the twenty-eighth rubber, Lenz and Jacoby, leading the approachforcers by 5,650 points, were as happy as a pair of Boy Scouts who had just .succeeded in making fire by rubbing sticks together. Ely Refuses to Bet Lenz was so tickled, in fact, that j he pulled out a check for $250, given, him by a friend, and offered it to Culbertson at that worthy’s highly advertised odds of two to one. Culbertson, who informed the press three days ago that he has $25,000 to wager at those odds on his ability to win, turned the bet down. Lenz and Jacoby realized a net profit of 3,835 points on the evening's play, winning seven of the twelve rubbers. Their lead of 5,650, does not, by any means, constitute an insuperable obstacle for the Culbertsons, since there are 122 rubbers yet to be played. The dramatic highlight of Friday night's session came before play started, when Jacoby, who is 29 and an ex-football player, clashed with Culbertson and came near punching Ely's nose. So He Ordered Dinner Jacoby arrived at the playing room at 7 o'clock—scheduled hour for the match to start. Finding the other players missing, he ordered a meal sent up to an adjoining room. Fifteen minutes later the Culbertsons and Lenz drifted in and Cul- | bertson promptly began to badger j Lenz because of Jacoby’s absence. Culbertson has been accused of chronic tardiness throughout the ; match, so he ‘‘rubbed it in.” At| 7:20 Jacoby walked in. Culbertson turned his sarcasm full blast on the six-foot Jacoby. Jacoby took it j good-naturedly. ‘1 was eating dinner,” he eaid.j ' But I wasn't eating when it was | time to start. You weren't here.” It's Nice Publicity ‘‘Now wait a minute,” snapped Ely. ‘‘You were eating. Don’t • stand there and tell me a lie like ; that.” Jacoby scowled, walked over to j Culbertson. “No more of that stuff,” he growled. “Don’t call me a liar again or there might be trouble.” Culbertson smiled, somewhat sweetly, and appeared to be undisturbed. Jacoby turned around and walked to the table. Swell for publicity purposes! Eh? j BANK OFFICIAL DIES Fred E. Mustard Victim of Pneu- i monia at Anderson.

On request, sent with stamped, addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s "Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Friday’s Times: The Dix Family of Publishers— Three generations of the Dix family of Wooster, 0., now are engaged actively in newspaper publication. E. C. Dix, 58, publishes the Wooster, 0., Record, assisted by his father, Albert Dix, who is 86. A. V. Dix, age 30, is the publisher of the Ravenna, 0., Record, so it appears inevitable that A. V. Dix Jr., his 2-year-old son, will be at a copy desk within a few years. And it is most curious to note that there is exactly twenty-eight years between each of the four generations.

SANTA CLAUS’SMILE FIFTEEN FEET WIDE Jovial Face on Pettis Store Beams on Holiday Throngs. A gigantic face of that jovial individual, Santa Claus, decorating the front of the Petis Dry Goods Company store, is being seen daily by thousands of downtown Christmas shoppers. Forty feet in height, with a smile fifteen feet wide, the image represents the head of a figure which would be as tall as a thirty-story building. A wreath, sixty feet in diameter, circles the collosal head. An idea of the magnitude of the jolly face is given in the fact that 1,600 feet of wiring, 477 electric light bulbs, 31,000 feet of lumber, 172 pounds of paint, 61 pounds of nails and 60 pounds of wire went into its construction. A force of more than twenty men worked nearly thirty days to complete the fact, and its erection on the front of the building required one week. Store Bandit Gets s6l ANDERSON, Ind., Dec. 12.—An unmasked bandit obtained s6l in a holdup of an Atlantic and Pacific grocery while an accomplice stood guard outside. H. E. Timmons, store manager, said the bandit shoved a revolver against his ribs and looted a cash drawer while he stood helpless. A clerk arranging a vegetable display on the sidewalk in front of the store did not know of the robbery until the bandit ran from the store.

S. WHEAT TO OE CHOKED OFF DY BRITISH ACT

Empire Quota and Tariff to Affect Foreign Trade Seriously.

By Vailed Press LONDON. Dec. 12.—Details of the government's plan to offer the dominions a guaranteed w-heat quota, the initial move toward economic unity of the British empire, were being formulated today. With parliament adjourned until Feb. 2, the wheat plan became the chief interest of political quarters. Britain's imports of w'heat in 1930 were 5,200.000 tons, of which 57 per cent was foreign wheat and 43 per cent came from the empire. The main distribution of foreign w-heat was: From the United States. 1.050,000 tons; from Russia, 900,000 tons; from Argentina, 750,000 tons. American imports dropped 50 per cent during the first ten months of 1931, due partly to the farm board holding wheat off the market, while Argentine imports increased 40 per cent and Russian wheat imports soared 400 per cent during the last two years. Britain bought 159.000 tons of United States flour during 1930. J. H. Thomas, secretary for the dominions, told the house of commons the quota would be based on , world prices and not on a fixed ! price. The eventual quotas are expected to be: Home-grown wheat, 15 per cent; empire w-heat, 55 per cent, and foreign w-heat, 30 per cent. It is believed that the quota will be accompanied by a tariff on flour, doubling the adverse effect on the United States.

He's ‘Regusted’ By United Press COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo., Dec. 12.—Amos 'n’ Andy's run-in with the law and their radio depiction of the "third degree," has drawn the ire of Hugh D, Harper, Colorado Springs police chief, and president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. "No up-to-date officer ever uses the methods exemplified in your radio program." Harper wired the famous radio pair. And besides being outmoded, the performance is causing “misleading and totally false impressions to be implanted in the minds of the people everywhere.” the chief asserted in his protest telegram. Harper thinks the incident Is liable to hinder and handicap law- enforcement officers throughout the nation. Asa matter of fact, he said, he's “regusted.”
