{Culbertson: Lightner tossed a rubber into our opponents' laps by an underbid
on this hand. He probably was a little petulant because he could not bid a
five-card suit headed by a nine-spot-one of the toys with which he amuses himself
when not engaged in an important match.\n

{Part-Score: E/W 60 - Culbertson: Fine competitive bidding by both sides,
evoking a total of no less than twenty-three declarations and passes in arriving
at the final contract, developed with this hand. We had a part-score of 60, and
our opponents, by impolitely bursting into our bidding conversation, finally
arrived at a game contract which can be made against any defense. We refrained
from doubling it by the exertion of unusual self-restraint, and decided to
continue our own efforts to make game. We were doubled and set 2 tricks. This
was a fine result when contrasted with permitting our opponents to go game on a
doubled contract.\n

{Jacoby: I consider Lenz's two spade bid one of the prettiest bids of the
entire match. The fact that I doubled Culbertson's one club bid when I was the
last man to bid on the first round convinced him that I had a very strong hand.
To my takeout double Lenz, of course, responded with his better suit first, and
bid one heart. It was obvious to him that if I could not support his heart
suit, I certainly must be strong in the other major suit, as otherwise I would
have passed the one club bid. For this reason he bid two spades on the third
round of the contracting. He knew that I would read perfectly that the suit was
rather weak and that I would not raise it without exceptionally strong
support. We would have made game even if the Queen and Knave of spades had not been
blank in Culbertson's hand.\n

{Jacoby: A game contract would have been reached on this hand if Lightner had
not been unusually timid. He did have a rather poor hand, but he should have
considered that Culbertson could have passed on his second turn to bid and let
the opponents play the hand at one spade. Instead of doing so, Culbertson made
a takeout double. He therefore must have had an exceptionally strong hand.
Lightner had four trumps to the king in the suit bid origjnally by his partner;
he had a stopper in the opponents' suit and he had a doubleton in diamonds,
where his trumps could probably be used to advantage. A three heart bid by him
after the takeout double was therefore in order, and no doubt Culbertson would
have raised it to four hearts.\n

{Gruenther: Lenz's diamond overcall gave Lightner an excellent chance to show
his extremely strong holding. Lightner's three diamond bid promised that he
would take the first diamond trick. In addition, his declaration indicated that
he had good spade support and an excellent allaround hand.After Culbertson had
shown the club suit, Lightner hesitated a long time as he considered the
advisability of bidding a grand slam. However, the expert feels that, in order to
bid a grand slam, the odds should be about three to one in bis favor. Lightner
could not see that he held that large an advantage.\n

{Gruenther: Newspaper reporters covering the match commented on Lightner's
double raise in spades in response to his partner's takeout double as "daring,"
but he considered it as in keeping with the hand on the opposite page. The
count of the hand does not entirely substantiate this view, as his hand contains 8
playing-tricks in support of the spade bid, or, valuing the Queen as 1 trick,
3,5 playing-tricks in support of spades, which justifies a bid of two spades
in support of partner's bid, whether or not north overcalls. However, when the
game contract was defeated by 1 trick, Lightner chuckled and drawled, "Well,
you see, Ely, I told you that was a bum bid." Culbertson's bulletin on this
hand contained only two words: "Down one."\n
