CHESS GAME CLOSE
Americans Have the Best Of Days
Play.

London, April 3.-The crowd of specta-
tors swelled during the exening to one
OF the largest ever gathered at an inter
national chess match, and broke up at a
late hour with the evident fear that
England had lost the match. The Lon
doners had counted on Atkins winning
his game. but, pressed for time at the
adjournment. he moved hastily and lost.
This defeat. Pills5ury's draw and Trench
ards resignation left the Americans with
the best Of the days play. while Balm
gam. whose game is nearest completion.
is hard pressed, though the English ex-
perts say that he has a fighting chance
to win.
When play was called tonight the score
stood ~ points TO L in favor Of the
Americans, while the outlook on the re-
naming boards was a rather cheerful
one. The only positive advantage the
Britishers were abs to gain was on the
fifth board. where the surrender OF
Hymes to Ballingham is only a question
Of time. There is only one more board
where the American player IS in diff
Culties and that is on board nine where
Sewell has been striving against a sIlpe-
rior position which his adversary. Gun
ston, was able 10 establish. ON the other
hand. Helms. Barry and Dolmar have
the preferable games, while Hedges and
Mills probably will put another draw to
their credit Shortly before adjournment
Newman's game against Mitchell became
slightly inferior II may be safely said
that the Britishers viii hardly be able to
overcome the lead which the Americans
assumde on the first day Of the match.
