players representing the United States and
the United Kingdom broke even in the
sixth international match by cable The
Englishmen scored two games and kept
the lead until this evening, when victories
by Newman and Pillsbury offset their ad-
vantage. Two games were agreed upon as
drawn, so when the twelfth hour. London
time approached there were still four
games going, which by the rule should
have been submitted to the referee for ad-
Judlcation. BY mutual consent, however
two more games called a draw and
each side was awarded one game. This
compromise met with general approval and
was considered very fair. The play was
full of surprises. At times il looked as il
the Americans would win hands down, and
then again If the British would simply
walk in.
Following are the results in order of the
tables, the first named player of each pair
being the American: Pilsbury defeated
