THE HASTINGS TOURNAMENT.
Fine Chess Masters Down Near the
Foot.

It Is remarkable to see how the finest
chess masters Of years ago-like Mason.
Blackburne Bird, Burn and Gunsberg-are
now away down in the column, in the
Hastings. Eng, tournament, Gunsberg be-
ing fourth from the foot. In tournaments
not many years ago he came out either at
the head or very near it. The only excep-
ton to this is the veteran Tschigorin, who
ties with Lasker for first place. Young
men a few years ago unknown-for ex-
ample, Lasker, Pillsbury and Walbrodt-are
at or near the head. Not one Of the three
is yet twenty-five years old.
Pillsbury is originally from Boston, but
now halls from Brooklyn, and the Brooklyn
Chess Club is very proud of him. Pollock
recently lived in Baltimore. but is original
ly from England. Mason is an American
by birth, but an Englishman by adoption.
Bird, Blackburne, Tinsley and Burn are
also English. Backburne Is the most mar
vicious biindfold player in the world. Bird
is an old-tmer, having played in Murphys
time, thirty-tiVe years ago Both he and
Blackbur visited Baltimore in 1859.
Burn formerly lived in Liverpool, but has
spent the last couple years in Chicago.
Tschigorin is from st. Petersburg, Russia;
he lost a great match to SteinitZ, played
in Havana a few years ago.
Only Two Old-Timers Near the Top.
These two are the only old-timers who
present tourney.
Lasker, the Berlin player,is too well known
to need mention. From obscurity few
years ago he sprang into worldwide fame
by winning the championship of the world
from Stenitz, who had held It rom before
the time that Lasler was even born. In
their encounters in this tourney Lasker,
Pillsbury and Pollock all WoI against
StenitZ.
Dr. Tarrasch has disappointed the public
by his score. Two years ago he Won a
tourney in Nuremberg, among a dozen play
ers, without the loss OF a single game.
Gunsberg is Hungarian by birth, but has
lived in England many years. Formerly
he was as strong as rscniSorin and almost
equaled Steinitz Now he Is near the last
Among the twenty-five players he is the
greatest disappointment of all.
Walbrodt is a mare youth, but is near the
top notch, although he has only been play
ing few years. He is from Berlin Schlec-
ter, Mieses, Albin and Merco are all Wen
nese, though Albin seems to have become a
New Yorker by adoption. Schlecter has
| only won two games, but has drawn the
| sixteen he has played.
| Bardeleben is from Leipzig Janow ski
| from Paris and Nergani from Italy. Schif-
| fers is a Russian and a compare lively IN
| known man, who is doing excellently.
| Each contestant plays one game against
| each of his twenty-9ae opponents. There

Bn&e Ball Notes.

Two games with Chicago today.
Arson makes no kicks nowadays.
He looked reproachfully at Keefe once or
twice when strikes were called.
Keefe gave Washington all the close
base decisions and some that were not
so close.
However, that is better than the other
way-giving them to the visitors.
Maui showed himself to be stiff in right
field. An active fielder would have Sc
cured several hits that went over into his
territory for nome runs.
Al also hurt his arm by throw, al
though he threw underhand
Mercer showed himself sulky several
times and was so fagrantly disrespectful
Of Keefe that the latter had to warn him.
been stopped by better shortstop than
Schebeck
Boyd took care of second in first-rate
style.
selbach lifted the ball over the fence
and accomplished home limp-it wasn't
run. He was quite lame.
The visitors showed themselves expert
at bunting. They know how to push run
ners around. Our men don't. When they
can't hit the ball hard they fail down.
Hassamer received an ovation yesterday.
He wants some of the money Washington
received from Louisville for him.
Boston made only four hits yesterday
off Hawley, but defeated Pittsburg, who
made eight.
Look at the game Sullivan has been put
ting up for Philadelphia, four hits and
seven chances accepted.
The Louisville management has been Of
fered $500 for the permanent release Of
Collins, and 1t was refused.
Manager Selee of Boston has received
an offer to manage the New York club
for three years, and is very much inclined
TO accept the same. He says he Is very
much hampered by the economy of the
directors, and is often obliged to make
moves simply to curtail expenses. the re-
lease Of Collins being one Of the things
In evidence.
Doyle of the Departmental league has
been to the bat six times during the sec
ond SERIES but has not made hit. This
would give him average. and for this
reason his percentage was omitted yes

was perfect and the old track in remark
ably good condition for fast time, every
heat winner of the day making a new rec

Ell Rami, a four-year-old that has won
many races in the Grand Circuit this sea-

2:30 trotters and he would probably have
won in straight heats but for an ugly acci-
dent in the third round. when he fell in
heap. throwing his driver, Fred. Howard,
violently to the ground and injuring him
badly. Burlingame, driven by John Dick

the track until stepped Dickerson was
thrown out, but escaped unhurt. Isaac

down in the wreck, but got off with Sc

The others went on in the race, and, with
Ell Rami out of it, Prince Purdy won clev-
erly. The judges decided that Ell RAM was
distanced, but they permitted the others
to start again. Prince Purdy won the next
two heats in handsome style, taking a reg
ord of 2.15 IA.
Moonstone was a rather easy winner of
the 2.10, for which Paul started strong

The A. p. A.

A year ago we were the only man in
the United States that had the cour-
age to openly attack the A. P. A. We
did not belong to any church, but we
saw that mighty aud overwhelming
torrent Of intolerance had been let
loose by the Plutocracy, Gts founder
is a railroad attorney at Clinton,
lowa), for the purpose Of distracting
the public attention from the wrongs
which threatened to enslave them.
We boldly challenged their ablest
advocate, Prof. Walter Sims, to series
of debates throughout the West.
We are glad to note that we must
have converted Prof. Sims. He il now
making speeches reiterating the very
arguments we used against his organi-
cation year ago. He spoke on the
4th inst. in Minneapolis. He said:
The American Protective Association is
somewhat different. 1t has chosen
different line of action. and that line of
action is opposition to religious organiza-
ton in this country. and is based upon the
principle that that religious organizat ton
had, issued through it's head in Italy-the
pope-an encyclical letter; that that ency-
clical letter declared that the Roman Cath
olics of this country were going to take
possession of the country in the name
of the pope, and rule the country. They
were to take possession l believe, on the
4th day of September during the Worlds
Fair. This encyclical letter was carried in
the various patriotic papers, carried in
some for nearly two years. In looking up.
making researches, and so forth. to discover
whether this letter was right, I found the
letter originated from the office of the
head of the order, the supreme president
of the order, who knew more about the
origination of this letter than did ever the
pope any Roman Catholic; that it was
designed to incite the Protestant people
to believe that Professionalism in this coun-
try was in danger. Hence the order had
very great influx of members for some
years
II Prof. Sims is honest in his CONVEX
sion, and we think he is, he deserves
credit. No man should pursue the
wrong road a step further than the
point where he discovers it is the
wrong road.
We are firmly devoted to the public
schools and universal education, but
we are equally opposed to intolerance,
Dot only because it is wrong in itself,
but because it is the old game of des-
potism, to set the people by the ears
about religion, and render them in
capable of self-government or self
defence. We did not make the
fight against the A. P. A. on theolog-
ical, but on statesman-like grounds.
We have never catered to religious
bfgotry or race prejudice. We would
stand up again to defend Protestant or
Catholic against persecution, even if
we knew that the Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway Company would once
more unite the Catholics of Dakota
county to drive us out of public life,
in order that its robberies might con-
tinue unchecked.
