CONVERSATION
STRICTLY
PROHIBITED.

Now a word Is to how the tournament
seems to one who knows nothing about the
game. On each table there is what is called
pair of tumble clockS-two nickel Yankee
clocks nailed to an ornate seeSaw board of
olive wood, one clock being always in the air
and ticking violently while the other is down
almost on its side dead and noiseless. Each
player must make fifteen moves in an hour,
therefore each player has clock which he
tits up and sets going whenever it is his turn
to play. The clocks all tell different time,
but that makes no difference Since the
starting movement of each is recorded and
every play Of every player is also OH record,
it is easy to understand that when thirty
plays have been made by any PLAYER the
time indicated by his clock must be within
two hours of the time at which his turn to
play began. These tumble clocks, therefore,
serve the purpose of stop watches. They are
an English notion. They compel fairness in
play, since they put all players on an equal
ity. If a player could take all the time he
needed he would see much more than player
who had some regard for the time used in a
game.
All is silence Often there is only one man
at table. His opponent has gotten up to
stretch his legs. Perhaps he has gone out for
a walk. Think of a game SO slow as that
Compare it in the mind with a horse race or
a game of baseball Without looking at an
encyclopedia to verify the thought, it seems
to an onlooker that chess must have originated
in China or India. Where there are two play
ers seated over their board the only way spec
ctator has Of knowing which man isplaying is
by looking at the tumble clocks on the table
The one that is ticking is, of course, next to
tine man who is playing. But both men are
leaning back in their chairs, and both are apt
to be pulling their mustaches or biting their
lips. Here and there one sees both players
staring at the board between them, but more
often the only display of interest in the board
is seen in an occasional glance at it by the
man whose clock is ticking.

alt costs $40 day to maintain this tourna-
nent," said the doorleeper to Tho Sun man,
and the play viii last seven weeks. There
are twenty contestants, and each must play
twice with each other one; twice. so that
each player will have the advantage of the
first move against each other player. The
first round Of games occupied three weeks,
beginning with March %. The second round
will last four weeks, in ell probability because,
there is what we call a by day for the play
ing out of all drawn and contested games
These may take several days, of course"
The hall CT the tournament is rectangular
room the length of an ordinary house The
floor is softened with strips of thin carpet,
and the whitewashed walls bear few photo
graphs Of groups of chess players, an oil paint
ing of Paul Morphy ard few stenciled an
nouncements on cardboard. The lower half
of the hall is where the contestants sit, and
they are roped in by means of what pugilists
call ring, made of pine posts, from enc to
another of which runs line of red picture
cord. Five feet apart, in two rows, stand the
tables-plain white pine kitchen tables, each
with 4 huge chess board on it heaped with
cheSsmen. On two sides of each table are
vanished high backed chairs. There is a
space around this roped in inclosure, be-
tween it and the walls, and here the specta-
tors congregate-one or two near the greater
number of players, and a dozen CT a score
huddled together close to the more skillful
players, or the players whose games happen
at the moment to be acutely interesting to
those who arc masters of the subtle game.
There is big card swung overhead in the
inclosure. 1t reads:

When The Sun reporter was present there
was what might be called wild excitement
over game between Taubenhaus, of Paris,
and Baird, of New York. By wild excite
ment is meant pressure of a score of per-
sons against the Enclosure close to the table
of these players. 1t was also expressed in
the tendency of strangers to come up to the
reporter and whisper: big game, ehT' or,
HELL lose a rock, see if he DON'T" or, "He's
got tough job there" Who had the tough
job or who would lose a rock the reporter
will never tell, for all he could see was nat
ty young New Yorker, with big bullying
forehead and a large scarf pin, seated oppo-
site sallow, black haired Hebrew with locks
all tumbled and wearing heavy suit Of loud
patterned wooden clothes. In the period of
the widest excitement the Hebrew from Paris
moved a bishop and threw over the seesaw
board under the clock so as to stop his own
and set his opponents clock going. This
movement was followed by a buzz among
the spectators, but the Hebrew took this OPP
portunity to get up and walk around the hall.

THE men are all right The trouble is
with the style of training, They don't work
hard enough, and they eat too much. The
youngsters won't do the work we did They
are afraid of the hard knocks. They want to
row and run more and not do SO much in the
gymnasium. If they do lot of hard work in
the house they get all muscle bound, and if
they don't do enough out of doors they can't
last. 1 suppose the young fellows will think
