LASKER'S MASTERY
SHOWN IN CHESS

NEW YORK, January 30.-The second
game Of the match for the chess champion
ship of the world between Champion Dr.
Emanuel Lasker and Frank J. Marshall,
which was played at the Everett House
yesterday afternoon and evening, was won
by Lasker, the latter thus increasing his
lead to two points. Marshall resigned after
fifty-two moves.
At O'Clock Aristides Martinez, the presi-
dent of the Manhattan Chess Club, intro
duced the players to large crowd of chess
enthusiasts in the banquet parlor Of the
hotel. The arrangements were somewhat
similar to those adopted in the Brooklyn,
hall on Saturday, but more care had been
taken of the spectators, who found great
number OF chess tables, the whole room
looking like an up-to-date and well-equip-
ped chess club. The demonstration boards
were again in evidence. H. F. Kussmaul
acted as teller; E. w. Libaire and J.
Powers were the seconds, while ArisNdes
Martinez and Herbert ]. Watson were the
referees.
The match seemed to be popular, and
this in spite of the fact that the first game
up to what is generally expected in a cham
pionship match. Close analysis Of the game
has shown that Laskers sacrifice Of piece
was unsound and that Marshall really
ought to have won the game hands down.
The reason for the poor exhibition given is
that both players were overexcited and in
capable of showing their best FORM It is,
however, expected that the excitement will
wear off and that the subsequent games
will be much better contested.
This expectation, as far as the second
game was concerned was not realized The
champion played rather weakly and again
marshall failed to take advantage thereof,
allowing Lasker to escape. At the adjourn
ment the latter said that he never expected
to win the game. Il never won the second
game of a series,' he said, II lost the Sec
ond game to SteinitZ, at Hastings in the
tournament, and on other occasions, and
was, therefore. quite prepared to lose to
Marshall" The latter's friends are unable
to account for the challenger's poor form.
Marshall, contrary to his own teachings,
adopted the French defense, when Lasker
opened with pawn to kings fourth and
again the crowd failed to understand his
tactics. Assisted, however by Laskers in
different play, Marshall managed to get a
hne attack and the superior position
Lasker relied upon "a variation which Stein
itz used to play, but he got away from the
beaten tracks and got an inferior position.
when the fifteenth move was reached
Marshall made his first mistake. Instead
OF retiring his bishop he exchanged that
piece, and four moves later he failed to
make the winning move, namely Kt-Q7
he attacked the queen with his rock, in
stead, and few moves later the attack
seemed to be broken. Lasker had won a
pawn when adjournment was taken at 6
o'clock.
In the evening session Lasker gave a yery
fine exhibition of end-game play Being
two pawns ahead it required great skill
nevertheless, to bring about victory mas
much as Marshall, too, tried his very best
to escape with a draw. But after fifty-
TWO moves Marshall resigned.

The second day of the automobile show
at the Dupont garage, 2O22 NJ street, under
the auspices of the Washington Automobile
Association, was fully the equal of the
opening day in point of attendance and
interest. The conversation was of engines,
sparks, clutches and carburettors. The
general impression in the minds of the
dealers is that whatever its results in actu-
al sales, so far as affecting future business
Is concerned yesterday was the best day
of the show. Several sales were made dur
Ing the day, a few of which were an

The weather was almost too bad last
evening to do much in the way of demon
strating with the powerful cars which are
maintained by almost all of the exhibitors
for that purpose, but a few braved the
weather and took spins over the snow
covered streets. The local dealers at the
show predict a ecord-breaking automobile
business the week Immediately following
the closing of the show.

Fully one-half of those in attendance at
the show last evening were ladies', and

trouble with another girl. Without being
jealous. she desired to prevent him from
harming the other girl and she followed
him to his house on the night of January
/ last and succeeded in getting possession
of his revolver.
In order to keep her friend out of trouble,
she determined to take his revolver home
with her. she said. and while on the way
she was stopped by Policeman Embrey Of
the third precinct and arrested for carry
ing the concealed weapon. The defendant

it. She maintained that she did not have
the revolver for her own use, but simply to
keep 1t from her friend.
