PILLsBURy TALKS ABOUT CHESS.
Henry N. Pillsbury Of Brooklyn, N.
", the American chess expert, who is
In London, on his way back to America
from the continent, where he has been
playing. said that he would not challenge
ShowaIter. but that II Snowalter should
challenge him hs.would play, net for the
title of champion, however, but for
money any amount over s1000-anywhere
and any time after the expiration of two
months.
The next chess match by cable between
the representatives OF America and Great
Britain, Pillsbury said, would be much
more interesting than the previous .one,
90 there would be two additional players
on each side. America. he added, would
have to play the pest team that could
possibly be gotten together, In order to
defend the trophy, as England would
make special efforts to win it.
"The time has arrived" Pillsbury
said, "to hold an international chess
tournament in tho United States, exceed
ing in importance anything Of the kind
that has ever been held. In my opinion
. double-end tournament, with 'S Of the
best European players Offering to partici-
psts, the foreign players to receive the
full sum Of their expenses. would be the
best plan. would also suggest that II
Boston and Philadelphia contribute pc
cuniary aid to the scheme, PORTION of
the games OF the tournament be played
In those citjes."
Mr.. Pillsbury will sail for New York
ON the steamer St. Louis on Saturday,
and will taks two months rest at home.
HARrwELL PRAISES YALE TEAM.
The Yale football practice at New Haven
ysstsrd ~ afternoon was characterized by
hard and nsrcs playing on the part Of the
Varsity.
The scrub was unable to cope with
them and failed to hold them for four
downs at any time. Coach Hartwell was
well pleased with the work and told the
men that Il was the first time they had
played good, honest foot bail this year.
Harry Bsscher, the old quarter back
and "Kid" Wallace, assisted HartwelI In
sosching. Captain Murphy himself did
not take part in the practice, and also
gave Rogers and Connor q much needed
rest.
Hinksy 10 also kept in by slight attack
Of tonsilitis. This, however, 10 not
szpseted to be very serious, and It win
probably keep him from playing for only
. short time. Fincke was tried in
Hinkeys' place at fullback, where he
played finely both in purting and run
ming with the ball, making q touchdown
after . magnifcent.run Of go yards.
James J. Corbstt was an interested
spectator, and the ex-pugilist divided the
attention OF the crowd with the foot ball
team.
