BRILLIANT PLAY AT THE
MANHATTAN-PILLsBU NEW
RECORD

Rocamora is the hero OF the day. The game
which this expert played in the third round Of the
masters tournament in the Manhattan Chess Club
recently against Simonson will go down one OF
the finest seen at the Manhattan Chess Club for a
number OF years. Although it cannot be called
brilliant in the of the word. II Is exceed
ingly pretty, and what increases the value OF Il
materially is the fact that he had really superior
position. even before SimonsOn played his move.
P-Q B 3. which at the time considered an
oversight on the part of Black. The position has
since undergone exhaustive analysis at the club.
and II was found that Rocamora would have won
the game anyhow

The reason that the Chinese so in,
tensely dislike anything foreign, says
writer in Leslie's Weekly, is because
among the eastern nations they al
ways felt their own superiority, anC
they have an idea now that anything
not Chinese must necessarily be infer
ior and wrong, This is trait moi
peculiar to the Chinese, for IL is no,
undeveloped in John Bull. The very
anti-foreign feeling, which is encour
aged mostly by the literHti of China
is probably due more TO the fact thai
John Chinaman cannot understand

sun, you don't know as much as he
does of Chinese manners, customs or
language; therefore of course you are
inferior. Our manners and customs
are in so many respects so totally diff

idea of propriety and common decen.
