the Columbia team charged with professionalism
has been protested by the University of Pennsyl-
vania swimming team. Neidnger took part In the
swimming championships at the Sportsmens Show
at Madison Square Garden. The charges will be
investigated by the Metropolitan Association of the
Amateur Athletic Union. 1t is believed that the
Executive Committee of the Intercollegiate Athletic
Association s Well
r. r. clarendon and 6. II. Miller issued a letter
yesterday in which they deny that they received
any pecunary benefit from playing football for
Columbia University. Their letter is as follows:
To the Editor of The Tribune.

rumors that we received any pecuniary educa-
tlonal benefit from playing football with Column

THE CABLE CHESS MATCH.

AMERICA Is ENCOURAGING

For the fifth consecutive time the teams repre-
senting the chess players of the United States and
those of the United Kingdom crossed swords yes

cidentaly the handsome silver cup given by Sir
George Newnes Most of the men in both teams
have played before the exception being s w.
Benton. of the strongest players of Philadelphia
and a young Englishman named Ward. who is
promising and brilliant, according to London
ports. The arrangements in the assembly rooms
o Brookly n Academy of Music. where the
American end of the match is being conducted were
about the same In previous matches. the
progress of the games being recorded on ten big
boards suspended from the wall, aYording full
view the audience.
The usual exchange of courtesies started by
the American sending the following dispatch
TO the British team:
Fraternal greetings The hope for victory will
The Brooklyn Chess Club sent the following dis
patch to the British Chess Club in London:
Cordial salutations We have put our foot
forward and hope to keep your cup.
Sir George Newnes this dispatch to the presi-
dent of the Brooklyn Chess Club:
Once more we meet in friendly rivalry. May the
and may the best team win. The members of our
lean cousins and viii do their best to Bring the
cup once more to this side.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Leopold Hoffer, the Amer
lean umpire in London, the following message
to the British representative here:
Greetings. viii you for move? British team
ready.
The drawing resulted in the American team get
ting first move the odd numbered and second on
the even numbered boards, while the Englishmen
had white on numbered and black odd
numbered boards BY singular coincidence it
happened that each player the boards,
ten as numbered has had move and second move
alternately. The Anne rican chess enthusiasts took
1t as good omen that the National champion

they confidently expect him win. So far az the
cable match is concerned in Pillsbury's account
with the willy English champion, the balance has
been on the debit side of the ledger.
Inc american players for the first time displayed
prediction for what are technically termed
open games, which afford a better field for aggres-
siyeness and eventual briiliancy than the close
openings which the majority OF the British players
adopt The consensus of opinion Is that the present
match VIII be as hard fought the preceding ones,

Although, the first days play left Great Britain
IN the lead by the score OF 1i3 to r. the outlook
is nevertheless encouraging for the American play
