Mrs. Burgess Has Accepted a ChaI-
lenge from Mrs. NirdOrf.

IF the play in the first two games OF the match
for the women's chess championship of the
United States, played at the Hotel Martha Wash
ington yesterday afternoon is any criterion. the
title will remain in possession of Mrs S. Il
Burgess, of st. Louis, who scored two victories
Mrs. Burgess opposed by Mrs Charles e
Nixdorf, of Cambridge, Mass, the challenger
for the title. The latter showed to good ad-
vantage in the second game, but outplayed
IN the ending.
Mrs. Burgess had the move in the first game
and played the Queens Gambit, which Mrs. Nix
dorfr accepted. The challenger, however, erred in
her development, with the result that she lost
rook the seventh move without any compensa-
tion. Thereafter she completely at the
mercy of her opponent, who scored after thirty
three moves.
In the second game Mrs. Burgess, having the
black pieces, resorted to the French Defence win
ming a pawn on the eleventh move. This how
ever, cost Mrs. Burgess the exchange" On the
other hand, the black centre pawns looked for
mdable The champion obliged to move her
king, but on the twenty-frst move gained rook
in return for a bishop. The play of Mrs. Nix
dorff then became aggressive, and Boston's rep
resentative made some headway. An Indifferent
move at her twenty-fourth turn resulted in the
loss a pieces nevertheless, she recovered
ground splendidiy and the two players emerged
in roOk and pawn ending. Mrs. Nix
dorff mismanaged the ending which ensued, and
lost pawn and the game after fifty-one moves.
Mrs. Isaac l.. Rice, president Of the Anti-No1se
Society of this city, has donated a gold medal,
which will go to the winner of the match. The
third game of the series will be played at 10
