Contract Bridge Rivals Will
Seek to Prove Claims
in 150 Rubbers.
85· the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25.—Two
married couples who were pioneers !
In the development of· contract bridge
end became bitter enemies about it
will start a prolonged game tonight.
Mr. and Mrs. Ely Culbertson are
to play 150 rubbers against Mr. and
Mrs. P. Hal Sims. The bitterness
has passed and now, as described
bv Mrs. Culbertson, they are just
friendly enemies who will test what j
her husband regards as the outstand- !
ing contrasting philosophies of con- I
tract bidding, whether to bid at the j
first opportunity, as he does, or to
wait a bit, as Sims does.
Rivalry Lasts 20 Years.
There has been rivalry of about
20 years' standing between Sims and
Culbertson. Once they were almost
unbeatable at auction, their wives
settling many a quarrel they had as
partners.
Their joint experiments laid the
foundation for contract, but the Cul- j
bertsons jumped in and got much of
the glory at first, Mr. and Mrs. Sims
always have regarded the Culbert
sons as plagiarists.
Whatever merit there was in the
Culbertson system was due to Sims,
in the latter's view, and the 1935
••streamlined" Culbertson model, in j
the words of Dorothy Sims, means
that systems will not be tested by I
1he match, for "Ely has adopted :
everything he can of our system." j
Culbertson insists that no Sims
wrinkles ever have been worth 1
sriopting.
waçer ai Mane.
There is a bet ol an unrevealed
8 mount at issue on the match, which
will take about three weeks, with
afternoon and night sessions after the
first night. Culbertson says defeat
■v ould cost him S 1.000.000 in prestige
in the world of bridge.
Sims has offered to "teach" Cul
bertson during the match. Culbert
son has professed confidence he will
crive Sims back to pinochle and that j
the "worK's greatest card player" will !
emerge triumphant over "the world's
*econd best."
The match will be at Crockford's,
i>, de luxe bridge club founded by Cul
bertson.
