TOURNEY TO OPEN SOON

The Departmental Chess League will
shortly begin its winters tournament, and
the annual meeting of the league will be
held at the rooms Of the Washington Chess
Club next Wednesday evening at O'Clock,
when the election Of officers will be held.
The prospects for a successful chess sea-
son are bright. and it is expected that the
league will be represented by a team from
nearly every executive department in this
city. 1t is purposed to add several new
features in the shape of an individual
championship tournament and a special
handicap tournament. A large number of
new chess players have signified their in
tention of joining the league which will
make 1t one of the largest organizations of
Its kind In this country. The past season
was highly successful one, and the league
matches aroused more enthusiasm in chess
In this city than has been shown for a
number of years.
large number Of government empioyes
are in sympathy with the movement which
was started last winter for the organiza-
ton OF a department club, where chess,
whist and checkers might be INDUCED in,
and this matter will be discussed at the
meeting next Wednesday evening.

DAVE GIDEON DROPS
$125,O0O IN RACING

NEW YORK, September 29.-What
chance has the ordinary racegoer got for
bis money when an insider acknowledges
he is $125 600 behind the game on the year?
This question was asked over and over
again in the club house at Gravesend by
men who had heard Dave Gideon smilingly
admit that he had dropped $125O00 since
the beginning of racing at Aqueduct last
spring.
YES" said Gideon to friend to whom
he was relating his woes. cit Is true that I
am behind about $125, 900 on the season. AS
matter of fact. don't believe have had
more than half dozen winning days this
year.
AT the last Sheepshead meeting I had
just one winning day. On the opening
day quit $500 to the good. but after that
didn't seem to be able to land on a win
ner. Every day It was the same old story.
I didn't lose a great DEAL It's true. y
heaviest loss for any one day was $500,
and the total might have footed up $4,000
or $4,000.
and that has been the case with me all
the year. / have had my usual sources Of
information, but every time l have put a
bet down something has gone wrong. If 1
get out with less than $15o.O0O to the bad
on the year 1 will consider myself lucky"
III Gideon can't beat the races it's time
for me to stop trying said a man who
had listened to the conversation. Il don t
believe there Is a man in America who has
better sources of Information or who is a
better Judge. He knows every owner.
trainer and jockey on the track. owns race
horses himself. and knows everything that
happens in the ring.
with all this advantage he confesses the
game is too hard for him, 80 I guess it's
up to me to look for an easier game"
Gideons experience has been duplicated
by nearly every other plunger on the track.
1t has been a disastrous year for all Of
them.

PENNSYLVANIA, 80; Lehigh, g.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, September %
The foot ball season here was opened to-
day under the new ruieszwith a game be-
tween Pennsylvania and Lehigh, which the
former won by a score of 30 to 6. Penn
sylvania easily outplayed their opponents,
and but for tumble in attempting quar-
ter back kick would have kept their goal
line uncrossed. The single touchdown of
the visitors was made when Trout. the Le-
high end. scooped up the ball as Hartley
fumbled 1t for Pennsylvania, and with a
clear field dashed eighty-five yards for the
touchdown, from which the goal was
kicked. The new rules were not much in
evidence as far as novel plays were con-
cerned. Both teams made frequent use Of
the quarterback kick, and both tried the
forward pass. The Pennsylvania team was
weakened by tn eabsence of Capt. Greene.
Tackle Draper and Guard Ze;gler. ali of
whom were kept out of the game because
of conditions.

Delicious Summer Drinks in Cuba.


From Leslie's Weekly.
Cafes are found everywhere In Havana.
as they are In Paris. and while the tables
are not on the sidewalk. as in the latter
place. the cafes all open to the street. the
sides of the buildings literally rolling up
like curtains or folding like screens. The
counters in these refreshment places are
piled high with fresh fruit Of every de-
scription, and also green cocoanuts. Many
drinks are made with the native fruits like
the guauabana or sour sop, and the anona
or sweet SOP and the sopotas or star
apples These fruits are also made into
ice creams, which are very good and quite
unlike anything in the ice variety in Amer
lea Lemonade in Cuba is invariably fla
yored with cinnamon. and the addition Is
a pleasing one to the average taste. Tama-
rind paste dissolved in water Is also new
to Americans, although the paste can be
purchased In any grocer's IN. America One
of the most popular drinks in Cuba is one
called panaI, which Is made from a mix
ture of sugar and white of egg dried In
rolls about six inches long. The panal or
rolls, which are quite brittle and as white
as snow, are served with glass OF Ice
water or water favored with tamarlnd or
cinnamon. These egg rolls are made In
large quantities. and they are stacked up
on the counters Ike the fruit.

CHANCE WILL NOT
DEPEND UPON VETERANS

CHICAGO. ILL.,. September 29.-Manager
Chance of the Chicago Cubs says that he
is not going to repeat the mistake made by
McGraw this year Of depending entirely on
his veterans to win the pennant for him
again next year. The Chicago manager
intends to ~obviate. as far as possible, the
difficulties encountered by the Giants this
year by having a supply Of good men to
take the places of any of the stars who
meet with accident or sickness. President
Murphy says that base ball is like a bust
ness in which the manager who makes the
best investments wins out
you can never tell what is going to hap
pen in base ball." said President Murphy
land we have already invested about
$4,000 In new talent for next year Acct
dents and the unexpected must be provided
against in base ball. and for that reason
the management of the Chicago club
deems it good policy to invest some of it's
surplus profits in promising youngsters

HARD TO DEFEAT TECH.
Experience With New Rules at Mary
land Agricultural College.

The Maryland Agricultural College foot
ball eleven had about as large as job as 1t
cared 10 tackle in the opening game OF the
season played on the campus at College
Park yesterday afternoon, when 1t man
aged to defeat Technical High School Of
this city by . to 0. Each team relied upon
an entirely different scheme Of play. the
visitors punting the ball at every oppor-
tunity while the agriculturists kept hitting
the line. Thrawl, Technical High Schools
fullback. did some fine punting, In fact,
about equal to any ever seen on the college
grounds.
Capt. Cooper. playing left halfback for
the farmers did about all the playing done
by his team, and was constantly in the play.
Practically every time he was given the
ball IT was advanced but the new rule
requiring a gain of ten yards instead Of
five proved a serious drawback to NJ. A.
C.'S style of play.
The visitors kicked off. Byrd advancing
the ball fifteen yards before being downed.
BY a series of line plunges, In which Cooper
played a prominent part the ball was adj
vanced to Techs 2O-yard line. and here 1t
was lost on downs. Thrawl puntng TO the
middle OF the field, and the agriculturists
again brought the ball to the visitors 10
yard line. and again it was lost on downs.
Neither side scored in this half, time being
called with the ball in the middle of the
field.
After an intermission of ten minutes the
ball was kept going from one team to the
other for five minutes. Capt. Cooper then
began bucking the line, and plunge after
plunge took him over the line for the first
touchdown. six minutes before the game
was called. Cooper was completely knocked
out by the effort. and it was several minutes
before he fully recovered. Rowland. al
though having a compare lively easy goal,
failed TO kick il.
On several occasions Maryland Agricul-
at tod the rd h1te oh
time II proved failure. the visitors sue
ceeding in gaining on each play. Rowland
also attempted goal twice from place
kick but failed in both instances.
The teams were about evenly matched in
point OF weight. and with the exception
OF Capt Cooper there was nothing par
ticularly brilliant about the playing on
either side. The new rule requiring gain
of ten yards in three downs received but
little commendation, 1t being freely pre-
dicted that there would be many grdiron
contests this year with neither side scoring
II the game yesterday can be taken as a
criterion II Is safe to say that foot ball
under the new rules will develop into punt
ing contests The line-uD.
