MARSHALL BEATEN
BY CAPABLANCA
American Chess Expert
Makes Costly Error.

New York. April 22.-The second
game of the chess match between
Frank J. Marshall and Jose B. Capa-
blanca, which was played here last
night, resulted in a victory for the Gu
ban expert. CapabIanca essayed a Ruy
Lopez opening, against which Mar
shall adopted the famous London
3-P-KB-4. This involves the sacrifice
of a pawn, and after the first dozen
moves were made it seemed as if Mar
shall had secured no equivalent in po-
sition for the lost material.
The game was practically decided
when Marshall. with his twentieth
move, made under pressure of the time
limit, committed an error which gave
the Cuban the opportunity for very
brilliant coup by which he offered the
sacrifice of his queen. This Marshall
could not capture under penalty of
mate. Marshall lasted until the thir-
ty-second move and then resigned the
game.

Mr.. Harr has the reputation of pull

man in the Oil City. On Tuesday Mr..
Harr made a wager to the effect that
he could run from Whiting to East
Chicago and back without once stop
ping TO ever draw a breath. This
seemed like a rather difficult under
taking for a man of Mr.. Harris size,
so he found no trouble in getting men
to bet with him.
The run was to be from the Standard
Oil company's tracks, in Whiting, to
the Wabash tracks, in East Chicago
and the hardest part of it was that
he must not even stop when East Chi
cago was reached, but turn right
around and run back.
A large crowd accompanied Mr.
Harr to the starting point and from
there he was followed up by a horse
and buggy. containing some of the
heaviest bettors. to see that he full
filled his part of the bargain.

The Boosters Commercial club met in

brought out for discussion included
the street car franchises. the proposed
raise in private telephone wire rates,
drinking water in the schools and the
not stopping at the Harbor of one of
the Lake Shore trains. In the matter
of the franchises, those present seem
ed to be a unit in believing that the
council should grant permission to all
street railways which could show the
proper backing and inclination to
build They also thought that no one
company should be given the exclu-
sive right over any street, but that all
be permitted - use the same tracks.
provided they were willing to put up
their share of the cost of building and
maintaining the same.
In the matter of telephone rates on
private wires, it seemed to be the gen

plenty high enough, and condemned any
increase
