BRIDGE EXPERTS
COMMENTS BY THE CULBERTSONS CHARACTERISTICS OF MEN AND WOMEN Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright PARIS, September 11. (Received September 12, at 10.45 a.m.) “ Women bridge players are quarrelsome and do not concentrate,” declared Mr Ely Culbertson in an interview. He added that women lacked men’s capacity for seriousness about abstractions. “ They are not serious about anything except love. Nineteen out of twenty of the world’s foremost bridge players are men.” Mrs Culbertson stated that men were bad losers, which was fatal in bridge. “ You rarely hear women complaining like men about their cards or their partners. The colossal conceit of men is responsible for most of their faults. They will not admit that anything is wrong with their game.”
