Unfinished.
There was some interest to see Hovey's
play against Griffin. the Canadian crack,
who Tuesday defeated De Garm endia,
the amateur court tennis champion. But
the Canadian was so entirely inca panle
of meeting Hoveys fierce and rapid style
of play that the match was unable to
hold attention for any length of time.
Much the Same thing was true of the Neel-
Clews match. NeePs form was the subject
of much interest and criticism, but he
had so little opportunity to show his best
against competitor not his equal that
it was impossible to form a very accurate
judgment regarding his reported improve
ment since last year.
Matthews, who has been champion of
Canada, was opposed to Malcolm Chace.
While his game was practically unknown,
he was expected to make at least a fair
showing.
Perhaps the best tennis was in the
Fischer-Talmadge match. The two men
We're well matched, though it was hardly
expected that either would he able TO take
three straight sets. In all three, however,
the play ran very close, and each was in
doubt until the final stroke. Fischer won
largely through his accuracy in putting
the ball just where he intended.

sTEINITz DEFEATS TsCHIGoRIN.
Laskcr Also Wins, While PIlIsbur.
Has to Take a Draw.

The thirteenth round of the tonal
chess masters tournament at Hastings,
England, yesterday resulted as follows:
Lasker beat Tinsley in a French defense,
after 81 moves.
WaIbrodt beat Bardeleben in a Ruy Lo-
PEI, after % moves.
Pollock beat Tarrasch in a French de-
Tense, after % moves.
Janowsky beat Marco in a Ruy Lopez,
after 80 moves.
Mason beat Nergani in Ruy Lopez,
Albin beat Schiffers in Sicillan defense,
after is moves.
Steinitz beat Tschgoron in an Evans
gambit, after - moves.
The following games were drawn after
&C. Al and 60 moves, respectively:
Blackburne VS.. Pillsbury Qling's bish Dps
gamDiO; Burn Bird pawn to queen s
four opening); Schiecter VS.. Meses CRuy
lopez.
The game between Teichmann and Guns
burg was adjourned.
The results reached yesterday brought
about 81 complete change in the position
of the leaders. Lasker, by defeating Tins
ley, now occupies the first place, while
Pllsbuy, by drawing with Blackburne,
ranks level with Tschigorin, who was
beaten by Steinitz.
Blackburno opened with Kings Bish-
ops Cannot against Pilisbury, who &C
cepted the same. Both experts treated
with great skill, brilhancy and accuracy.
The consequence was that at no stage of
the contest could supremacy be claimed by
either side Still, the board presented a
very complicated appearance after about
forty moves. Then the position became
more simplifed, owing to a number of eX-
changes, and the players started into the
end game with even chances. The fight
lasted for seventy-six moves, when further
play seemed useless, and draw was
agreed upon.
Tschigorin treated Steinitz to an Evans
Gambit, which was promptly accepted by
the latter. White kept up the attack in
brilliant style, and although black played
very cautiously, his game was not salts
factory, for Tschisorin. by degrees, ac-
cumulated an advantage in position. With
a little care white might easily have won
the game, but he allowed his adversary
to turn the table upon him. and after about
thirty-siX moves the odds We're clearly in
favor nf Steinitz. Tschigorin proceeded for
nine moves and then resigned.
Tinsley, who thought that French de-
Tense would be good in his fight with Las
ker, felt sorely disappointed for he could
not even hold his own in the opening. At
ter I.lsker had once espied the weakness
in Tinsley's position, he proceeded to adj
minister such telling strokes upon his adj
versary's citadel as to make Tinsley sur
render the game after only twenty-seven
moves had been made.
Tarrasch favored the French defense in
his game with Pollock, the latter adopting
the ShoWalter variation, Q-kt t. The doc
tor seemed puzzled at Pollock's ingenious
attack, and greatly compromised his posi-
ton by hasty move. Then Pollock had
matters all his own way, and administered
defeat to his great German rival after
twenty-five moves.

VIEWING THE VALKYRIE.
Hundreds of Ynchtsmcn Going to the
Eric Basin.


RROOKLYN, NY. August 22.-valkyrie
III, in dry DOCK drew hundreds of yachts
men and curious people to the Erie basin
today. The work of tautening the rigging
of the yacht and cleaning her hull pre-
paratory to painting and pot leading, was
going on with all the zest the English tars
had at their command.
The more the experts look at the foreign
craft, the more they like her. Most of
them admit that the challenger promises
to be great boat in light weather." but
when it comes to the specific question of
how she will do in beating, reaching and
running, the sharps differ. There are sew
eral, however, who declare that the vessel
will be flyer in strong winds. too.
1t is held by these latter that If the ship
is able to carry her heavy sails and spars
she will be troublesome customer. There
has been quite lump of lead put IN the

Grabbing her to better carry sail.
The date of the first race for the cup Is
causing considerable remark. Nothing will
be definitely known about 1t until Lord
Dunraven, who left London yesterday, ar
rives here, but it has been suggested that
the original date of September I will be
adhered to. 1t is believed by many yachts
men that the Englishmen are thoroughly
content with the showing their vessel has
already made and will require little time

it is thought, can be arranged in two weeks

Washington Took a Game From
the Clevelands.
RESULT OF TEE PLAYING At NEWPORT
Lasker Leading in the Chess Tour
nament.
STANDING OF THE EXPERTS

When The Stars report of the first base
ball game played yesterday afternoon be-
tween the Senators and Spiders closed, the
visitors were in the lead, the score stand
ing to 2, but as the game progressed the
locals kept up their good stick work and
forged ahead and steadily increased their
lead until they made total of six runs
The Clevelands made their fourth run in
the fourth inning, and did not score again
until the ninth, when things looked doubt
full for the home club. Blake led off with
a hard hit to right field, and Cuppy fol-
lowed suit. placing Blake on third and no
one out. The next batsman hit long fly
to the outfield and Blake came home with
Clevelands fifth run, and just one short
of tying the score.
With two out and man on first, the
spectators were uneasy; but Anderson was
equal to the occasion and struck out Nc
kean, retiring the side and ending the
game with a victory for his club.
There was much free hitting in the early
game, two home runs and four three-bag-
gers being knocked out. The team work
of the home club was noticeable. and
Crooks. Scheibeck and Cartwright each
made neat sacrifice hits. There was some
quick handling of the ball, too, the Sena-
tors making two double plays and the WIS.,
itorS one.
The Second Game.
brief resting period interviewed between
the two games, during which the far right
field bleachers filed up considerably. 1t
was remarkable how large a crowd of spec
tators were on hand when the early game
began, and this number was constantly
being added to during the progress of the
game.
For the second game Young and thinner
were the battery for Cleveland. while Mr.
Schmelz sent Malarkey into the box for
Washington. Although Young had been
knocked out of the box in Tuesdays game
the Senators could not 10 much with his
curves yesterday, and their hits were scat
tered until the ninth inning, when they
made good batting rally, but could not
score enough men to overcome the Zig lead
of the Spiders.
Joyce led in batting, making a horne run,
a triple and a single. Crooks raped out
three singles, and Abbey two. But the
Senators tielded badly in the second game,
making six errors: Joyce, especially. was
unfortunate in his plays and had three
black marks credited to him, his errors be-
ing costly.
O'Day's umpiring was deserving of COM
mendation, although there was some Wig
crous protesting against some of his de-
cisions by Patsy Tebeau. His decisions
We're generally fair and impartial. The
scores of both games were as follows:
