Mr. Geo. Mouro claims to have wrested
the honors of a checker championship from
Mr.. McMahon after hard battling, having
beaten him seven sittings in succession. Mr..
Mouro also played Mr.. August and has the
lead on him in sittings and in games. 1t is
understood that Mr. McMahon still has the
lead on Mr.. August, although he has lost
couple of sittings. Checker players say
that it is almost impossible for one player
to win every sitting from another player
who is nearly his match, and because a
party gets one or two sittings is no reason
why it makes him champion. This being
the case, Mr.. August has not downed all the
local amateurs, as he has not beaten Messrs
Mouro, Mcmahon or Mccoy the greatest
humber OF games or sittings, in a stated
number of games played by them.
