New York, March 19.-The internal
tional chess match between Great Brit
ain and the United States. begun yes
terday, was won by the Britishers by
51k to Az games. Last year the Amer
leans were. defeated by British oppo-
nents by exactly the same figures, while
the first match played two years ago,
the Americans were victorious by AZ to
81 games. Following are the details
of the play on all the boards:
Pillsbury played queens gambit
against Blackburn, who declined TO ac-
cept the gambit pawn. Later on Pills
bury managed to establish a passed
pawn on the kings fight, which seemed
to be a great advantage. However, the
advantage seemed not strong enough to
win, although Pillsbury sacrificed his
pawn TO get an attack, and he was I'm
ally obliged to accept a draw
Showalter against Burn also played
a queens gambit, declined. and was
mastery throughout. His brilliant sac
rifice was a piece of work which gave
the Kentuckian the victory.
The BoStonian. Barry, selected a
queens gambit, opening against Caro-,
Although it looked az a time as if the
latter had the better position, Barry,
by a very ingenious and clever move,
brought about the defeat of his cele-
brated adversary. A very interesting
game was played on the fourth board
between Atkins and Hymes. The New
Jersey champion selected a French de-
Tense and gave Atkins an opportunity
to make a brilliant sacrifice of piece.
Then, however, Hymes came UP TO the
occasion by most wonderful defensive
tactics and secured draw
Not too much praise can be be-
cfp HODGES who conducted a
Ruy Lopez against Bellingham. The
Staten Islander excelled both in ag-
gressive and defensive movements. and
by sheer hard work he administered de-
feat 10 his rival.
Deinar was out of form in his con-
test. His French defense against the
Scottish champion. Mills, was weakly
played The latter secured the eX-
change, and left Delmar in hopeless
position, when he resigned.
A lOng-drawn out game resulted be-
tween Baird and Locock. This was an
even contest throughout. From the
beginning to the end neither side was
able to claim any distinctive adyant-
age at any stage of the game. and so
a draw was the only legitimate result.
Young, who conducted a French de-
Tense against jackson and Robinson,
who played a queens pawn, opening
against Jacobs and Galbroath, who had
TO contend with queen pawn OPEN
ing of Trenchard. were outmatched.
They were beaten on their merits, and
the least said about it the better

interest. and the result was greeted
with the heartiest cheers. Sir George
Newres. president of the British Chess
club, said:
1T was a most delightful match, and
/ passed OF without a hitch of any
kind. Just as might be expected be-
tween such sooTtsmanlike o0onents-
The next time | will give a cup twice
the ~,-e."
Though the match is considered won,
the games between PiilsbuIy and Black
hurn. aid LocOck and Bair attracted
the greatest attention. Blackburn said:
n ne last ten hours of my game have
been p draw of course. Pilisbury sac
rificed his game in the interest of the
match. Had the matter gone 10 LASER,
, he cord not have decided except IN
favor of a draw"
Other experts are of the opinion that
had the game been finished. Pillsbury
would have won. The Locock-Baird
game was considered draw, with Lo-
cock in the best position The attend
ance at the close exceeded that of yes
terday's play. The match paid for it
