Mr.. F. NJ. Wright. the chess champion of
the District, was at the Washington Chess
Club rooms the other day for the first time
in two or three months. He met there a
visitor who has played against the strong
players of the club, and generally with
creditable scores. Mr.. Wright won three
games to his opponents one.
A match will undoubtedly be held the
coming winter between Mr.. Wright and one
Of the aspirants for championship honors
There are two or three players in the Dis
trict who are not satisfied that Mr.. Wright
is the superior player. and 1t is proposed
to have match with him for the cham
pionship. The Washington club will hold
tournament this fall, and at its close it
will be determined by match or by mutual
agreement who Is to meet Mr.. Wright Mr..
Hanna has heretofore shown himself
stronger than the other members of the
Washington club, and he may be the play
er agreed upon to play the match.
Mr.. F. b. Walker and Capt. James Hill
played game in the continuous chess tour-
ney the past week. The game was un-
usually interesting throughout, and has q
special interest because the opening is the
same as that played by the Washington
club in one of its games against the Rich

A Close Game Between the Bureau
and Treasury Mines.
The Bureau team defeated the Treasury
Colts for the third time tkis season at Ma
tional Park yesterday, although the Treas
uryites outbatteG the former and both
teams made the same number of errors.
The score was II to 10, and nine of the
twelve Bureau runs came in the first two
innings. Without this lead the money max
ers would not have Won, for the cashiers
settled down and went to making runs on
the credit instead Of the debit side of their
ledger. Clifford pitched for Kellar's Colts,
and did well, keeping the Bureau team
down to eight hits. Winkeman started In
for the latter team. but retired in favor of
Bernard in the third, who struck out five
men and kept the twelve hits made by his
opponents fairly we'll scattered.
The game was loosely played throughout,
and all OF the crack players on both teams
participated in the general order of mis-
plays. Beall, at short for the Treasury
team, put up an excellent game, making
only one error in twelve chances Kellar,
at first. is charged with three yellow hued
items. while Madgan. at second for the
Bureaus. made four of the rankest sort.
Bolway led in the batting, with single,
double and a triple. With good support
