Sidney S. Lenz and Oswald Jacoby held a steady lead in the new contract bidding system battle as they won four of seven rubbers in Session Two. Bly Culbertson trailed, with the New York contest continuing amid keen competition in bridge theory.
In a tense match Culbertson and Jacoby face Lenz and others with bids rising from three spades to six hearts. Lenz secures the small slam with a powerful hand while Jacoby advances to four no trump and four spades before settling on a slam. The article notes a rule change to start sessions at 7 pm on four nights weekly.
Last night the match widened the lead from 1,716 to 2,075 points, a 360 point gain. Culbertson, in his showman manner, staged a dramatic opening and offered a $500 bet against himself and wife Josephine that they would not win, with the press well represented behind the protective screen.
The Church of Christ in China unites 14 denominational groups into a single body.

The union covers global missionary work, spanning vast distances and varied climates from mountains to tropics.
