BRIDGE TOURNAMENT
CULBERTSONS VICTORIOUS. LONG-CONTINUED BATTLE. New York, Jan. 6. In the world-famous bridge tournament, which has now ended, Mr. and Mrs. Ely Culbertson were the 1 winners by several thousands of points from Sidney Lenz and his partner. It is very questionable, however, whether anybody’s particular system won out. In fact, all the indications point to quite a continued battle between Culbertson and Lenz.
About the only principle vindicated is that a player cannot beat the way in which good or bad cards run. No system can effectively overcome a great preponderance of aces and kings. Several outside experts believe that Mi's. Culbertson accomplished the most brilliant individual play, and the strange part of that is that she. learned her game from Lenz. The public became rather tired during the last 50 rubbers, though the players continued to obtain amazing publicity.
