The present Indications are that Mr..
Walker will have an easy victory in his
match with Mr.. 'Tharp for the District
championship. Mr.. Tharp won the first
game, but Mr.. Walker has won the four
following games in succession. Mr.. Tharp,
however, is full of resources, and he may
strike winning gait yet.
Below is the score of the game played in
the spring tournament of the Washington
Chess Club between Messrs. Walter G.
Odell and w. A. Gwyer. jr. The game is
singular, in that up to blacks sixth move
the position is almost identical with po-
sition in the Tharp-Walker game. pub
lished in The Star week ago. To take
the KIT. with b. on his sixth move would
not be good play for black in this game
yet in the other game the move was made
with advantage. Mr.. Odell played an ag-
gressive game. and developed strong at
tack on the queens side, which was sure
to result to his advantage. His opponent
did not appear to realize the full danger CT

SPRING CHESS TOURNEY.


Sone Surprises Were Expertenced IN
the Htfth4 Round.
The fifth round in the spring tourna-
ment Of the Washington Chess Club was
one of surprises. for 1t saw the club cham
pion. Capt. Patrffk O'Farreil, lower his
colors ia Mr.. ]. P. Campbell and Mr.. f.
p. Ham suffer defeat at the hands Of
Mr.. Will H. Lyons. Capt oFarrell made
a hard struggle AID succumbed only after
ninety-six moves had been made Mr.
Campbell is showing unexpected strength
against the strongest players in the pres
ent tournament. He had the advantage of
Mr.. Hanna all through their game, but
overlooked mate In three moves and al
lowed his opponent to get a draw.
Mr.. Hanna played a French defense
against Mr. Lyons and played compare.
lively even game for thirty-eight moves,
though Mr.. Lyons had been the aggressor
when Mr.. Henna overlooked a series Of
two checks. which cos him rook He
resigned after fifty moves had been made.
One popularity was that Mr.. Lyons clock
had run twenty-tight minutes during the
game and Mr. Hanna's clock one hour and
forty-ffve minutes. Mr.. Lyons score is one
of the best, but he plays most of his games
so rapidly that it would be remarkable
If he did not lose games thereby.
Mr.. Gwyer made a bad start in the tour
ney, but he continues to improve his posi-
ton. On Wednesday night he defeated Mr..
Tibbetts. The latter. however added a
victory to his score by defeating Capt.
O'Farrell in a game adjourned from the
previous week.
Mr.. Odell played with his customary skill
and won a game from Mr. Crofts, who in
turn scored victory from Mr.. Adair. Mr.
Adair has not yet shown the strength he
possesses Thomas and Odell drew their
game.
Mr.. Thomas continues in the lead, but he

Speed of Street Cars.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
If the local authorities are unable or I'M
willing to enforce the police regulation
limiting the speed of street cars, the Dis
trict Commissioners should rescind the reg
ulation. The Metropolitan Railroad Com
pahy is daily offender on all Of it's lines.
While it is great convenience to be rap
idly whirled to ones destination, no one
can conscientiously desire rate of speed
which sooner or later is sure to bring death
or injury to some person or animal. Con-
tributory negligence on the part of the VIC
tim will not excuse homicide, nor will
1t palliate plain violation of the police
regulations. If the attorney for the Dis
trict of Columbia will have a policeman in
citizens clothes placed on the cars he can
make case any day.
In consideration of it's valuable franchise
the Metropolitan Railroad Company ought
to be willing to give the best and safest
service; and in this connection it is hoped
that Congress Will authorize and direct the
extension OF the 9th Street line out Sher-
man avenue as soon as possible. The Sher-
man avenue route is preferred by the ma
1ority of citizens but all agree that the
Columbia Heights railroad problem should
be solved in some way without further de-
lay. THOMAS w. GILMER
