The NORWAY DERBY
The Great Ski Tournament at Hol-
menkollen.
ATTENDED BY MANY FOREIGNERS
GjOlme Took the Lead at Jumping
Clearing an Even 81
Feet.

u
Over $1,000 persons witnessed the great
ski tournament at b Holmenkallen, near
Christiania, beginning last Monday, and
among the thousands were many foreign
ers, Swedes, Britons and Americans, who
attended solely to witness this great
event, which has come to be known as
the Norwegian Derby
Gjolme, a new star in the ski sport,
made the longest leap Or jump, clearing
29h meters, or about ninety-seven feet,
in grand style. 1t does not break the
records made by the famous Hemme-
stVedts, but almost any one will concede
that a leap across Washington avenue,
for instance, entities the performer to a
prize. ~ ~.
The prize for the fiat or distance race
was won by Paul Braathen Of Eidsvold
club, who also won in 1901 and 1900. What
the route or distance was is not known,
but last year the course was a cross
country run of between fifteen and sew
enteenj kilometers, something over ten
miles. Jorgen B. Schive, Hjalmer Smith,
Of Verdande; Olaf Tandberg, Of Frigg, and
Axel Refstad, winners last year, are not
mentioned in the dispatches.
The kings cup was awarded to Bjoa-
land, and the ladies' cup to Amundsen,
both new stars. The kings cup is awarded
to the one making the most graceful ap-
pearance in the long jumps.
These do not represent all the prizes
awarded by any means, as there are sec
Ond and third prizes in the chief events
and a number Of special prizes. 49,.
The contest at Holmenkallen this week
overshadows last years tournament COM
pletely. Last year upwards Of 100 Eng
lishmen went to Christiania for no other
purpose than to witness the great ma
tional sporting event of Norway, and
there were doubtless as many, if not more,
visitors from England this year.

COMMENT. -
Trick 2-West cannot afford to play the ten
on the eight led, as the lead may be from
the top. His play Is correct, as he holds
four trumps and must make the ten any
way.
Trick 5-West plays correctly again, al
though the spade lead would have saved two
tricks. The club lead is the correct play,
as South has probably but one more club,
East the f1nesse over North; it is apparently
the only hope of making the hand.
Trick 6-North here makes the play for
which the hand is published His heart suit
has been led once and he now has the mas
ter card, but his deuce, five and seven do not
look very large, and one of them must GER
tainly lose. If he leads the king and follows
with the small one, the suit will probably
clear, but the adversaries will then surely
force out the last remaining re-entry before
the trumps are exhausted, and the hand is
then dead. By his lead Of the losing card
the suit will be just as surely established
and North will have his king for re-entry
as South almost certainly has three OF the
suit. North does not expect that South will
win the trick, but, as he has shown plenty Of
forced on the clubs, and if the spades are led
they will probably be led to him, which will
giveeh him the best possible chance to win the
trick.
Trick s-East discards the heart queen to
warn West.
Trick 9--West leads the spades here for,
after East's discard, it Is apparent to every
one that the only chance for tricks left to
East and West Is in the spade suit.

From the City Tourney.

The following Interesting game, ending in a
suf-mate, was played in the present Mime
apolis Championship tourney, last Saturday,
between c. c. Peterson and j. w. Clark. The
opening was commonplace, developing into a
Guioco Piano position. In the middle game,
MIR. Peterson, playing white, had the better
of the position finally winning pawn and
then rock. He was venturesome, however, in
leaving his king at the mercy of his oppo-
nent's queen checks. On the forty-fourth
move he was compelled to sacrifice rock in
the vain attempt to relieve the pressure.
Had he sacrificed the queen instead, by QxP
CHI, his rock and passed pawns might have
won out against the adverse queen, as subse-
quent trial OF several variations along that
line appears to show. The, rock sacrifice,
however, hardly helped matters. Finally, on
the forty-sixth move, black plays @ to Kt3 CHI,
and white is compelled to play QxQ CHI, which
in turn forces PxQ mate-a very interesting
ending. .'rEp5#f;

article commenting on the frequent attempts
at underplay, made almost Invariably by the
lead through declared strength This week
we publish a pretty play which occurred at
one of the congress matches about two years
ago. The idea is not new, but is, seldom used
by players who know It's value. as they are
usually willing to take in their sure tricks
and let the other fellow take the chances
However there are almost always sure to be
times when an underplay in your own suit is
not only justitiable but absolutely, necessary
In the play which is published below, North
must have three rounds of his hearts before
there is any hope of the small cards getting
good. To be sure, he can easily establish the
suit if he leads the master card which he
holds at the time of making the underplay,
but If he does the probabilities are that the
opponents will promptly force out his one re-
manning card of re-entry and his hearts might
as we'll never have become established. Of
course, North is taking chances on losing, but
the chances for losing more than one trick
are very small indeed. and but one or two
possible combinations could make the play
lose at all. 20. ~--'' -.'-. =.
