In the local tourney this week Seaman

This is his first win, but his playing was
better than the score shows as he played
a good game in each instance and only in
the end game was beaten by superior ex-
perience. This Is his first experience In
tourney chess, or even club chess. One
who plays chess at home or around among
acquaiutances. even after attaining a good
degree Of skill. finds many fall in unex-
pectcd places among the habitues of q club
room Messrs. Heydler. Smith, Kaye, War
rem and Tucker are all enjoying their first
tourney experience. Smith. Warren and
Heydler have very good scores and all have
preserved. in almost every instance, safe
games for long time. The powers of en-
durance cut much figure in chess as in
physical contests, and with only equal abil-
ty the most seasoned man must win in a
draWn-0ut contest. The tenth round in
the tourney has been passed; those who
have that number of games in wins and
losses are UP to schedule, the others be-
hind.
Other games have been played as follows:
Woodward against Hodges and Tucker

NDAY BASE BALL.
New York and Cleveland Likely to
Play on That Day Near Home.

The question of Sunday base ball will
again figure prominently at the coming
meeting of the National League. Last sea-
son New York and Pittsburg Joined the
ranks of the Sunday-playing teams. while
Cleveland tried to inaugurate Sunday ball
at home.
During the coming season New York and
Cleveland WIN again play Sunday bah on
tour, and probably at home. the New Yorks
at WeehaWkeu and the Clevelands al a
lakeside resort near that city. The future
of the Pirates in this respect Is doubtful.
President Kerr OF the Pittsburg club former
ly was opposed to Sunday ball. and the
Pirates did not play games on that day
until Mr.. Watkins succeeded Mr.. Kerr az
president Of the club
Now that Mr.. Kerr is in the saddle again
he may scratch Sunday games from the
Pirates schedule. or he may refuse to med
die with Il policy inaugurated by another
president. Boston and Philadelphia remain
the only cities that refuse to be connected
with Sunday ball in any way.

bility that Toronto of the Eastern League
may come in also. and if so. it will take
the place of Columbus, which is the only
member Of the circuit that Is not i'll the
best OF shape for next season. Buifaio's
addition makes the Western League the

Manager Irwin to Put Casey Be-

NOTES OF CHESS CIRCLES

Arthur Irwin. manager of the Washing

This ex-player and all-round base ball man
can always talk interestingly on sporting
matters and especially about the national
game. On this occasion he gave Tim Muir
name quite a string of facts and fancy
which the latter reproduced in the Globe
as given below:
Irwin Is getting together a string of fast
young players for the capital city, and will
pick up two or three from this locality,
among the rest young catcher tried by
Boston. and allowed to go without a fair
trial. Irwin will shake up the old-timers
that Jake Wagner froZe to until he was
forced to give UP the management, in this
case Irwin returning to the National League.
Irwin said that he would doubtless put
Casey behind the bat in 90 and has no
doubt the young man would make a splen-
did showing i'll that capacity, being quick
as cat, accurate and sure, a splendid
thrower and possessed of that capacity of
