held this year at Chicago during the
week of August 20-25, and that invita-
tions will be issued TO all prominent
players entitled to be classed as candi-
dates for the distinction.
1t is generally believed that r. ]. Mar
shall. the sol> American representative
in the big tournaments abroad, is the
strongest of the American masters, but
there. are many who think his equals
are to be found and that tournament
of the kind proposed will disclose the
fact.
The United States championship has
hitherto been played for in set matches
between two aspirants. but many favor
the plan followed by the British Chess
Federation in holding regular tourna-
ments open to players of the FIRST class
and placing the title at stake at least
once year,

JOCKEY CLUB ERECTS
HANDSOME NEW PLANT
Montreal Jockey Clubs Track Is Sec
ond Only to Belmont in Size, and
Beauty of Natural Surroundings
Are Unsurpassed
Special to The Herald.

cpeclHl TO lie f1eIdlu
MONTREAL, Can, Aug. 11.--EXcep-
tionally fine weather has greatly aided
the contractors who are erecting the
Montreal Jockey clubs new plant.
There has been only one rainy day in
five weeks.
The buildings are going up like
magic. There are ia carpenters on
the job. Work on each one of the
stables was commenced at once and
they are now ready for shingling. The
paddock is finished and the betting
rotunda is ready for the roof
All the cement and brick work on
the club house is finished, and the
frame is being put in place. The big
stand is ready for the steel and the
men are working night and day to have
this delivered on time.
In it's appointments the stand will
be equal to any ever erected. 1t will
be a revelation to Canadians. The
room and dining rooms will be far
better than those in the majority of
hotels.
The track itself is a beauty. In size
it is second only to Belmont park, and
its natural surroundings are unsur-
passed. The backstretch is 1885 feet
from curve to curve, and as level as a
billiard table.
Save possibly Saratoga there is no
track so well supplied with immense
trees. 1t will interest horsemen to
know that the club has decided to have
its own water system, the supply COM
ing from artesian wells.

BOXERS START
TRAINING WORK
HYLAND GOES TO SANTA
MONICA QUARTERS
Thompson viii Devote Large Por-
tlon Of His Time TO Road Work
With View to Being Strong
at the Weight

"Fighting Dick" Hyland, matched to
meet "Cyclone" Thompson on August
2s before the Pacific Athletic club,
took quarters at the Santa Monica bath
house yesterday, where he will train
for his coming match
Thompson also started the training
ball rolling by looping nine miles with
Kid Dalton and Kid Webster, who will
work with him until the day of the
battle. "Cyclone's" ambition is to
make the weight 1873 pounds ringside,
strong and to this end will put in a
large portion of his time at road work
on the byways running out of Arcadia.
According to Manager McClintic,
Hyland has never been known to tread
a backward measure before any of the
wicked set of ringsters with whom he
has mixed during the last few years.
His past battles have developed the
fact that he is a straight out and out
hitter who does not waste many
blows in getting to his man. In his
contest with Young Corbett practical
ly every swing which Hyland started
went true, with the result that Cor
bett was on uneasy street before the
knockout round.
Hyland will have no difficulty in
making the poundage, as he boxes
around 12S pounds. With Thompson it
will be different as he is strictly in
the lightweight class. Cyclone" how
ever anticipates small trouble in at
tanning the limit and should enter the
ring strong.
Manager McCarey yesterday de-
clared that he regarded the match as
one of the best events which he has
carded for a long time, and as the out
come means a whack at the cham
pionship for one of the boys, keen
interest will hover about the result.
Although battles between such ready
ringsters as Hyland and Thompson
have gone the limit, there appears
every indication that some one should
take the count before twenty rounds
have elapsed.

If McGuiean Touched Men in Break

Third Man Will Have Privi-
Ieee in Coming Battle
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
GOLDFIELD, New, Aug. 11.--Nelson
and Cans have made a bet which will
decide whether the referee shall be
allowed to touch the men in the break
away or not.
Cans wager $10O that Referee Nc
Guigan used his hands at least once in
separating the principals in the Nelson
McGovern fight at Philadelphia last
month.
Decision is left with "Tad" Dorgan
of New York
If he declares Cans contention is
right the article allowing the referee
that privilege will prevail in the Cans
Nelson fight. Otherwise the referee may
not use his hands.
The referee will be selected by the
club. The following men have been
nominated by the pri-. ,ipals:
Eddie Graney San Francisco; Jack
Grant, Portland; Tim Hurst, New York;
Jack McGuigan, Philadelphia; George
Siler, Chicago; Eddie Mcbride. Buffalo;
Bat Masterson, New ork; Click Muir
ray. Boston; Abe Pollock, Chicago, and
Jack Welsh, San Francisco.
An automobile party, in which were
Nolan and Nelson, had a narrow es-
cape from serious injury this morning.
AT DiamondfiIld, eight miles from Gold
field, the car, running a mile-a-m minute,
turned q sharp curve and It $50 feet
ahead was a swiftly approaching ma
chine. Nelson's chauffeur ran up a
steep bank and barely escaped turning
over as well as having a collision.

MIQUE FISHER
PAYS HIS FINE
P0RTLANDERS WIN THE FIFTH
GAME OF SERIES
Exciting Contest Goes to the Mud
Hens, Who Wallop Ftzger-
aid for Twelve
Safetles
Portland 2, Fresno 0

Poor old Mique Fisher! Gagged
bound and unhappy, he sat on the bench
during the Portland Fresno game yes
terday afternoon at Chutes park and
counted the hole left in his mazuma,
made by the payment Of the 800 fine
which President Bert imposed for
Miques original and strenuous protest
at the rank decisions of Bull" Perrine
Thursday afternoon.
All day Friday afternoon Mique
sulked on the rear bench of the grand
stand. The strain was too great, how
ever, and yesterday morning the Raisin
Eater coughed up and in the afternoon
returned to the players bench.
There were some raw decisions dur
ing the game and after each one Bert
and Perrne looked over toward the
Fresno bench.
Nothing stirring! Mique had cast a
unanimous vote that too much is
plenty.
And even with his other troubles the
Wepfooters beat him again-and by
the whitewash route-2 to 0.
Luck was the only thing that kept
the score down as low as 1t was, for the
northern men walloped the ball in
every inning but the eighth, and had
the pretty total of twelve hits when
the last out was made.
In the error column Fresno was
charged with a mistake made by
Eagan, who missed a hot grounder
which Lister laid down to him. Port
land made a run on a passed ball, which
not charged as a Fresno error was
every bit as disastrous.
Sweeney tried to work Smiths inter
ference play in the seventh inning,
when McHale ran for second, but for
a wonder Perrine caught him at 1t,
thereby saving Mique another fine, for
when the play was made the big fellow
arose, subsided and then jumped up
again--looking for trouble. Bert also
looked for it, but at the time was safe
behind the wires in the grand stand.
In the second half of the sixth inning
VOTERS poked high one to the center
field fence and with the crowd yelling
for the expected home run streaked
around the bases.
The ball fell on the inside of the
field, however, and bouncing. dropped
on the cross bar at the top of the bar
rier and fell back into the field. Tho
runner made a triple and was robbed
of a score by McCreedie a moment
later when the latter nailed Casey's
long fly to right, and on the throw in
caught VOTERS at the plate.
The throw was the best seen on the
diamond this season as it bounced ten
feet from the plate and jumped into
the catcher's hands, beating the run
ner out foot.
Portland's first run came in the fifth
inning when Moore singled over second
and made the keystone sack on Nc
Leans out. Third was made ON Listers
single to left and the score came on the
passed ball.
In the seventh inning Mclean
doubled to the fence, made third on a
sacrifice and scored on McHale's single
Jack Mccarthy, the umpire, occupied
one of the boxes and grinned widely at
some of Perrine's weird decisions.
The score:

"There will be another competition

'I guess there will be fewer perfect

S. Gorham, when he discussed the prob
able route Of the next Glidden event.
Manufacturers who put in their cars
for the run from Buffalo to Breton
Woods spent much money. Each is sat-
isfied that the tour was successful.
Each has a few improvements, most of
them minor ones, however, in his mind S
eye which the tour suggested to him.
These manufacturers would not per-
NIT the Glidden event to lie dormant
because the trophy remains with the
Buffalo Automobile club under the deed
of gift, and thirteen automobilists who
drove their cars for perfect scores have
an equal interest in the cup, as well as
silver medals, presented by the donor
of the trophy.
ITO make the Glidden a run to
jamestown in time for the exposition
scheduled for that city next season. -
said a prominent A. A. A. official,
would be a happy decision. 1t would
mean that the worlds greatest auto
mobile tour would send a stream of
motorists into the Virginia city the like
of which never was known. Everyone
in New England who owned car and
could get away would be in the caval-
cade from Boston.
Hundreds-maybe it will be thou
sands-will join the procession at New
York, and literally the road from Phil
adelphia to Washington might be filed
with one almost continuous line of au-
tonobiles. The A. A. A. tour, of course,
would be- the main feature from a
pleasure tour standpoint. The Glidden
competition would be a factor in the
tour"

NEW MAXWELL AUTO BUILT
Big Thirty-six Horsepower Won DEM
ing Trophy In GIidden
Tour

The Maxwell -Briscoe Motor COM
pany has produced a new 30-horse-
power, four-cylinder touring car. The
third car built of this type won the
Deming trophy in the Glidden tour.
This is excellent evidence of sound
construction and proper designing. The
idea of the Maxwell-Briscoe Motor
company in entering the car was to
ascertain it's weaknesses. They have
been noted and will be corrected The
principles of construction will not un-

are the thermo siphon system of cool
ing instead of pump, a feature in
troduced in all Maxwell cars and copied
extensively, and brakes in two sets,
each set acting Independently of the
other.
There are no control mechanisms on
the steering wheel. The controlling of
the crank and transmission cases into
one unit makes the motor plant prac-
tically one piece, insuring proper align
menti three-point suspension is en-
ployed; mechanical oiling, and other
Maxwell features of metal bodies
Shaft drive and motor under the hood
are evident.
The motor of this model consists of
four 5x5-inch cylinders cast separately.
The valves are mechanically operated
on opposite sides. The crank shaft is
drop forged. The pistons are gray iron
castings, with three diagonally cut
rings at the top and two oil grooves
at the bottom.
The connecting rods are of cast
steel and are very strong and rigid
The fly wheel spokes are cast in the
form of fan blades; there is also an
