CHESS CHAMPS MAY MEET.
DIR. Tarrasch Is Prepared to Play
LaEker for Championship.

Lasker for Championship.
New York, July 20.-While the subject
of a meeting between DR.. Emanuel Las
ker. Of this city, and DR.. S. Tarrasch, Of
Nuremberg, Germany, the two Titans Of
the chess world, continues TO be a subject
If eager discussion in chess circles, the
match for the worlds championship is no
nearer realization. and little progress may
be looked for until after the end Of the
heated term at least.
In the meantime the German champion
and winner Of the recent championship at
Ostend has come forth with a charac-
teristic statement on matches in general
and the mooted one with DR.. Lasker In
particular Dr. Tarrasch has this to say:
I cannot brook delays in chess
matches. l believe in playing chess at ali
times, as We play at our coffee houses.
Now. Lasker viii not play unless he has
six or eight months notice in order that
he may become fit, as the Americans say.
II he would accept a challenge 20 play
within ten days l would post 81 600 will
ingly for that purpose I am kept pretty
busy practicing my profession and cannot
afford to wait. When Marshall challenged
we I wrote to him to come to Nuremberg
anu We "o'i- CNI-li4-si4SS pi''S a. oilSe-
Did I put of when he arrived? No. When
he did arrive we commenced to play i'm
mediately. That is the way to play chess.
Morphy made his matches in the same
way; made them one day and played the
next"
DR.. Lasker's position with regard 10 the
worlds championship which he holds is,
briefly, that, while cognizant of the obi
cations Of his position. he must, as cham
piOn. act entirely on the defensive In
other words. he is waiting to see what
will happen II nothing occurs 10 mar his
serenity, well and good; he is stin the
champion.
