CHESS AND CHECKERS.

The Rice gambit tournament at the Man
haitian Chess Club begun early in June
just prior to the departure for Europe OF
Isaac l.. Rice, the originator Of the at
tack, was brought to close last week
Three prizes were awarded as follows: Ju-
Illus Finn, $50; DR.. Hermann Keidanz. $50
and Bruno Siegheim, $50. The remaining
prize fund Of 500 was divided among all
competitors In proportion to games won
by each.
Mr.. Rice has for a number Of years
claimed a sound game for white by sacri.
ficing the knight at the eighth move, consu
tuting what is known as the Rice gambit
Various attempts have been made from
time to time to show the futility of this
opening, but SO far Mr.. Rice has met al
play with sufficiently good reply to en-
title the game to serious consideration.
The chief result of the Manhattan tour
nament was to show that the defense had
a powerful weapon in 10. ...P-B6 and by
means of this move, barring a few In
stances, Black scored at the rate of two
games to one, the final score being "a for
Black, II for White and drawn.
AS this gambit has not as yet been
proven failure for White, yet Its weakness
has undoubtedly been established DR.. E.
Lasker and NJ. 1. Tschigorin have been in
vited to contest series of six games to
further test the Rice gambit at Ostend, Bel
GUM. The following game between Hal
perm and Keidanz illustrates the futility of
attempting to vary from the normal play
of 10. .P-B6 by an exchange of pawns.

REMARKABLE GOLF.
DR.. Lee Harlan Covers Chevy Chase
In SO, Six Under Bogey.

The remarkable exhibition of golf given
by DR.. Lee Harlan at Chevy Chase the first
part Of the week. in foursome match.
has been the talk of the day among the en-
thusiastic followers of the great Scotch
game. DR.. Harlan has been conceded the
premier place among local golfers on ac-
count of his steady play, but even his clos
est friends were surprised at the wonder
ful advance he has made in his game this
summer. The fact that he made the morn
ing round of the Chevy Chase course in 76,
which Is one over DOGGY. was in itself out
or the ordinary, the doctors best play
heretofore has been late in the day but to
go over the course in Co. as he did in the
afternoon. was nothing less than wonder
full.
During the past four years the best play
ers OF the country have taken part in the
Journeys at Chevy Chase. and every one
considered himself lucky If he got down in
the seventies, as work of that sort gener-
ally landed prize. For that reason the
card handed in by DIR. Harlan calling for
sixty-nine strokes has created talk all over
the eastern golf country.
The exhibition came out In a foursome
match between DR.. Harlan and Alex. Brit
ton as partners against DIR. William NJ
Gray and Mr.. George c. Lafferty.
In speaking of DR.. Harban's play one
OF the members Of the party who did
not wish his name mentioned said:
Since l have been playing golf 1t has
been my pleasing experience to witness thu,
play of Ffndlay Douglas. Travis and the
English champion. Vardon when every
one of this trio was at his best Compar-
ing their play with DR.. Harbans. l can
say that the Columbia man simply out
classed them in the afternoon game
Such driving rarely comes to a player
at one time as that done by Dr. Harlan
In going over the course twice don't tn nix
he pulled or sliced the ball more than three
times. and in each instance not enough to
mar his winning play. The same applies
to the doctors approach shots. a part OF
the game in which he is strongest and on
the green. where heretofore he has met
with the greatest number of reverses he
was steady as the proverbial clock In
putting there Is always a large element of
luck. but from the doctors play it appeared
as though he knew of every blade Of grass
on the greens and went down with an ac-
curacy that was simply astounding There
were no rims or Jumps the ball going
in clean and sure
The previous best score for the course
was made by Ball. the professional Of the
Washington Golf Club whose total was 70.
When Vardon played the course his best
score for eighteen holes was 70. which was
regarded at that time, three years ago. al
very remarkable performance
Not only did DR.. Harlan beat all pre-
vious records for eighteen holes, but his
total for thirty holes, 145, stands with
out parallel. The best previous score for
thirty-six holes was 1872 which was made
by vardon. the worlds champion.
The scores by holes are as follows:
