By H. ALLBN SMITH

NEW YORK, Dec. 1«. (UP)—
The Culbertson - Lenz contract
bridge match, currently occupying
widespread attention, is developing
Into a neck-and-neck affair.
further than that, all squabbles
between the players are simmering
down to S'definite basis, with each
side filing intermittent claims that
the others are not using the bid-
ding systems they touted before the
thing got started.
The contest degenerated Into a
game of thetflr-totter last night, and
i’lnally wound up with the Culbert-
sons, El yand Jo, leading by 410
points. This is practically nothing
to write home about as far as
bridge scores go. Man and wife
gained just 425 points during the
evening's eight rubbers, Sidney
Lenz and Oswald Jacoby having
started the session with a 15-poliA.
advantage. They play again Thurs-
day night.
One of the peculiar things about
the last two or three sessions is the
conduct of the press contingent.
Most of the boys speak right up
and say that It’s all a racket—that
the whole«cont4st is a phoney, stag-
ed for the sole purpose of boosting
sales of books written by the Messrs
£fen2 and Culbertson.
" Having unleashed these sneers
and sentiments, these same cal-
loused individuals gallop down the
Corrid&r, tip-toe into the battle
room and apply their eye to the
screen crack4 with all the fervor
of 1926 whist champions.
When the specimen hands are
brought out in mimeograph form,
they lay the cards out on the tables
and replay the hands. They argue
and fuss and carry on like a con-
vention of diplomats at The Hague.
Last night's sesion was devoid of
most of the fummadiddles which
characterized previous sessions. K6r
once, since the mafch got started,
Culbertson managed to sit down
without starting an argument. HeJ
didn’t even ask his stock question!
“Have you gentlemen changed ovev
to the Culbertson system yet?”

Athletics’ Victory
Due to Amazing
Earned Run Average
CHICAGO, Dec. 16—(JJP) —
The real reason why Philadelphia
Athletics won the 1931 American
League pennant, revealed in offi-
cial records announced today, was
the amazing earned run average of
the club’s pitchers.
The Athletic’s entire staff al-
lowed but 3.47 earned runs per
game, an excellent record for any
pitcher—to say nothing of a com-
plete pitching staff.
Among the Athletic’s hurlors,
Robert M. Grove is entitled to
ranking among the greatest pitch-
ers of all time. Official pitching
averages reveal that:
Grove, with a record of 31 vic-
tories and 4 defeats, made the fin-
est record of any Southpaw in
American League history.
Grove’s winning percentage of
.886 was the highest in the majors
since 1900. .
Grove was the first pitcher to
win 30 games since Jim Bagby,

NEW YORK, Dec. 16 (UP)—
Tommy Loughran, the Philly
Phantom, who never lets his op-
ponents know what his right or his
left hand is going to do next, will
continue his series of instructions
to brash young men in Madison
Square Garden Friday night.
These lessons to the uninitiated
are very Irksome to the talented
Tommy who would prefer to meet
a man over whom a victory would
mean something. But Tommy, for
some reason (his left hand may
have something ±Q.do with It) is
studiously dodged by the better
heavyweights. And being unable
to play a saxaphone, croon, knit
ties, or vulcanize tires, Tommy is
forced to give boxing lessons In
order to keep In good with the
men at the bank.
Some of his pupils have been
Max Baer, Dick Daniels, Ernie
Schaaf and Victorio Campolo. Fri-
day night’s pupil will be King Lev-
insky of Chicago, who Is back for
a second treatment. This writer
has tried hard to figure out just
cause for a returnn meeting be-
tween these two, so far with no
success, unless you count the facfe
that in their earlier meeting
J oughran half-slipped to the floor
during one round.
King Insists upon all that Is holy
that Loughran went sprav.uig af-
ter taking a right on the jaw.
-------o—------
stunt for Mesrs Lenz and Culbert-
son. Maybe so, but I overheard
Culbertson turn down a fellow last
night who offered $10,000 for the
"cracking” privileges.
After he had been turned down
I asked him how he expected to
make $10,000 or more out of the
“cracking’ 'concession.
“Listen buddy,” he said,
make my $10,000 back in
weeks. See all those folks
there waiting to get In for a peek?
Well, I’d charge ’em. I’d charge
’em ten cents if they peeked with
one eye, tw«nt»joents if they used
both eyes, and those that used both
eyes and had glasses would have to
pay a quarter.
“Then, when the tournament was
over I’d move my cracks out to the
Yankee Stadium and use ’em during
the baseball season.
There was some talk of a mutiny
in the press room last night. It
seems the reporters are sick and
tired of Mister Culbertson’s habit
of serving nothing but chicken a la
king at the midnight supper, and
are determined to put a stop to 11.
“I like chicken a la king alright,”
one reporter told me, “but this but-
ines of eating it every night In the
week is getting me down. I’m afraid
that any moment I might begin
sprouting feathers, and you know
what that would mean. It would
mean I’d be made poultry editor,
and hell, there ain’t no future In
covering chicken shows.”

CHICAGO, Dec. 16—(UP) —
A week ago today the
Cubs traded Hack Wilson to the
St. Louis Cardinals for Burleigh
Grimes in a surprising
transaction which has
some conclusions from scattered
sectors even more startling than
the trade itself.
The main echo of the trade
from such widely-separated points
as New York and Los Angeles is:
The Cardinals got all the better
the deal, and that the Cubs got a
belligerent pitcher who has designs
on Manager Rogers Hornsby’s
managerial job.
Only 154 games from April
down the stretch to September will
tell whether Sam Breadon and
Bthnch Rickey outsmarted Wil-
liam Veek and Rogers Hornsby,
but just to keep the records
straight it should be told just what
thef acts were behind this deal.
The Cubs had an unruly out-
fielder who drew a salary of $37,-
500, broke training rules and rob-
bed a potential pennant contend-
er of the punch it had every rea-
son to expect after a batting aver-
age of .356’ in 1930.
For the best interests of the
Cubs, they had to sacrifice Wil-
son whatever they could get for
him. In the early stages of the
dickering for Wilson the offers
weren’t much.
Unexpectedly the Cardinals said
they might take Wilson. When
Hornsby learned the player St.
Louis wished to dispose of was
Burleigh Grimes, the trade was as
gcod as made as far as the Cubs’
manager was concerned. He read-
ily agreed to toss in Bud Teach-
cut, young Southpaw, when he
learned that Breadon regards!
^eachout as a good prospect.
The Cubs wanted Grimes be-
cause they want to win the 1932
penpant, and Hornsby believes
Grimes will help them do it.
Grimes is made to order for Horns-
by’s 1932 plans. One reason why
Hornsby wanted Grimes was be-
cause Burleigh beat the Cabs 5
times without a defeat last sea-
son, and in the past five years be
has won 25 games from the Cubs
while losing 5.
As for the well-circulated but
groundless rumor that Hornsby
and Grimes do not mix, arg un-
friendly and unlikely to have dis-
cordant arguments, it can be best
settled by the fact that the veteran
pitcher was at his best whfen
Hornsby managed the New Yoik
Giants, in the absence of Jho.i J.
McGraw, who was ill during the
latter part of 1927. It was Grimes’
pitching during the stretch that
kept the Giants in the pennant
fight.
By HENRY McLEMOJRE
United Press “Crack” Reporter
NE WYORK, Dec. 16. (UP) —
You too can become a “crack” re-
porter in one night, just as I did.
All you’ve got to do is get as-
signed to cover the mighty battle
of the spades, diamonds, doubles
nnd redoubles between teh Messrs
Ely Culbertson and Sidney Lenz,
and you’ll become a “crack” re-
porter or none at all.
For all the reporting that is done
must be done through a crack, or
for the sake of reportorlal accur-
acy, five cracks. These cracks are
in tho big leather screen which
separates the players from
common herd. Behind each
these cracks is a chair.
In each of these chairs is a re-
porter or a kibitzer, following the
course cf play. Outside the door
that opens on to the playing room
is a line • folks half a block long,
waiting to be chopped off five at a
time and sent in to take a crack
at the tournament, so to speak.
Frankly, the view Is not all it’s
cracked up to be. All I could see
through the one assigned to me was
Mr. Lenz’s ankles. Now folks,
ankles are all right as ankles go,
but after 15 minutes a fellow would
get tired of Garbo’s ankles even.
The fact that Mister Lenz doesn’t
wear garters and allows his socks
to fly at half mast, didn’t make my
scenery any more attractive.
But nevertheless, there is a tre-
mendous demand for tho cracks.
It’s got so bad now that the offi-
cials have been forced to adopt
measures to restrict the crowds.
Before you can gain a crack now,
you’ve got to know somebody, or
at least know somebody who knows
somebody, you know, just- like
getting in Joo’s place.
There has been much talk of this
whole tournament being nothing
more than a sordid commercial af-
fair, A publicity and money-making
