AMERICAN CHESS
PLAYERS IN FRONT
Oxford and Cambridge Defeat
ed in Play for Rice Trophy.

PRINCETON. n J.. March 20.-For
the second successive year the American
college chess players today easily de-
feated the combined talent Of Oxford and
Cambridge in the annual cable match
for the Rice international trophy.
Five of the six games enued at $50
o'clock this evening, with the score to
l in Americas favor. This score in
cluded three wins outright at boards 1,
and 5, with two drawn games at
boards 4 and s. The sixth game I'M
finished on board 2, goes to the referee
for adjudication. but the American play
er has the call in this.
The first to score for the Americans
was Blumberg of Brooklyn, representing
side of Petroff defense, and sacrificed
a pawn at the start to get quick de-
velopment. with the result that he had his
opponent at his mercy after twenty moves.
An hour later Whitaker of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania with two-knight
opening, won his game by series of
careful plays. short time after Wolff
OF Columbia won at his board assuring
his team against defeat. His opponent
was Boughton of Oxford, whose record of
two straight wins in these matches made
him the most feared of the English team.
The remaining three games We're fought
out until the last, when Stephans of
Princeton, although a pawn ahead. Of
fered his opponent a draw in order to
clinch the victory. This was readily &C
copied by his rival. Parshley of Harvard
agreed TO a draw at the last moment,
leaving only the game between Hughes Of
Pennsylvania and Lob of Oxford. Hughes
had a slight advantage and thought he
could win. and the position was he'd
over for adjudication by the referee, Wal
ter p. Shipley of Philadelphia.
The Englishmen at the close of the
match cabled their congratulations and
the American team replied with its
thanks

Agriculture Defeats g. P. o.

Agriculture figured in another impor-
tant event during the week, this being the
completion of the match against Govern
ment Printing Office. Two games had
previously been won by Agriculture so
that only a draw was required in the I'M
finished game between Roberts and Ora
ham In order to win the match. The
game in question was one of the hardest
fought of the season. lasting through two
full sessions. Graham worked up an ex-
cellent attack by means of the four
knights entree, but Roberts maintained
an impenetrable defense. and his only dis
advantage at the adjournment was a
doubled pawn and a slightly cramped
position. Graham, however, could gain no
material advantage during the second
evenings play and was eventually COM
PEELED to concede a draw rather than run
the risk of compromising his position by
forcing the game This made the total
points 21s to 11s in favor, of Agriculture.
The summaries, team standing and in
dividual scores Of 800 per cent and over
to date are as below. The final team
standing will be published next week after

CLOSE GAMES IN
DEPARTMENT CHESS
Agriculture Makes Strong
Finish in Team Race-Si-
muItaneous Exhibition by
F. B. Walker.

The Agriculture team did excellent
work in the closing matches Of the De
partmental League series against its
strong rivals, Interior and Government
Printing Office. For several weeks past
II has been an open question as to which
of these three teams would win the cham
pionship Of the league. The Interiors.
who have been holders of the title for the
last two seasons, have. however. been 60
ing little the strongest during the sec
ond round of matches, and they are now
practically assured of securing first hon
ors for the third time. They have one
more match to complete against War
Navy, and as the result of this may
affect the score the final standing of the
teams cannot yet be definitely stated.
Agriculture came within an ace of
lowering Interiors colors in their recent
encounter and if Ii had succeeded the
champions could not have done any bet
ter than tie for first place. This match
was one of the finest contests of the sea-
SON; il ended In a draw. each side win
ming two games. The results of three of
the games have already been reported.

game quite the most interesting of the

while Napoleon. although a comparative
newcomer, has to his credit the Tri-State
championship and had. moreover, gone
through the present league season with
out single defeat or draw being re-
corded against him. 1t was consequently
not surprising that the meeting between
the two furnished titanic struggle.
Walker, having the black pieces, made
the opening a center counter and handled
the defense so cleverly that Napoleon
could gain no advantage in the initial
stages. The middle game was finely con-
tested, each player employing a high
grade of chess strategy. but neither side
could find a vulnerable point that would
yield to attack, and after about four
hours play the game bad to be adjourn

The position at this point was Slightly

A SUDDEN DEATH
In Which Clifton L ses a Most SGbStaR.
 tiaI Citizen.

A gloom was cast over this con-
 munity when it was announced from friend to friend that Edward D. Will son had suddenly passed away at his residence at 7:lj Monday morning. the cause of his death being a sud- den coughing spell, which resulted in a hemorrhage. He arose shortly before o'clock and was apparently in the best of health, and after dressing, went into the kitchen, where a few moments later he was suddenly taken ill and passed away before the assistance of d physician could be secured.
 Deceased was one of Clifton's most substantial citizen, and to know him was to love him. He had been a resident of Clifton the past six years, during which time he was engaged in the sewing machine busi- ness. Until a year age he WAS agent for the Singer Sewing Machine com pauy, which position he resigned tc engage in business for himself, and at the time of his death was pro prietor of the Clifton Music store He was one of the leading members of the First Baptist Church of Cliff ton, of which he was a charter mem Der, and by his calling there has been removed a man whose place can never be filled. He was d kind and noble husband and true friend to his fellowman.
 Deceased was born in Beeville. Texas, and was thirty-four years of age. He leaves q grief-stricken widow, father and Step-mOther, two sisters and three brothers, to mourn his untimely end, aud to them is ex- tended the deepest sympathy of many friends aud acquai"tances.
 He was d member Of the Woodmen of the World, in which fraternity be carried life insurance, and his mem bership was in a Texas lodge. His brothers of the local Clifton lodge took charge of the remains aud 1en- dered every fraternal duty.
 Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist Church Tuesday evening by Rev. W. M. Riddle, anu the church was crowded by friends who witnessed the last sad ceremonies in behalf of d man who was dear to every heart.
 Perry Wilson, a brother of the de ceased, arrived Tuesday from Doug las to witness the funeral services in Clifton.
 The remains were prepared for and yesterday morning were taken on their journey to Bee vile, Texas, the home of his father, where they will be laid to rest. His bereaved widow and brother accom- panied the remains. Peace to his ashes.

A PRACTICE BALL GAME.
Two Local Mines Will Test the New
 Clifton Diamond.

The baseball grounds are now ready for business and the ball will be started rolling next Sunday after noon, when a practice game will be played between the regulars and d scrub nine. The players will not occupy their regular places, as it i> the object of the game to find out the quality represented in each player. It had been anticipated to pull off game with Morenci, but that team is not yet ready for d match game, which as a matter of fact is the condition ot the Clifton team also. The line-ups will be as follows: Scrubs-Riley or Brock, C, Pique or Marquez, Andrews lb, Fd III 2b Mason ss, Phillips 3b, Smith If. Dunn Of, Murphy If. Regulars-Collier (, Fehrman or McChesney p, Nichols lb, Quilting 2b, Ward ss, Long or Me Chesney 3b, Williams If, Ghizoni Of, Collier If
 The game promises to be an inter- esting one as both sides have de- clared themselves. There seems to be a great deal of rivalry between the various players and those who attend the game will have the pleas ure of seeing the finish.
 The diamond is in frst-class condi- tiou, in fact better than any time since it's history, and as a result the expenditure was considerable more than was expected by the manage ment. Therefore the boys have found it necessary to solicit funds from the fans on the outside, and no doubt will make the rounds in the very near future.
 Just at the present date there ap- pears to be enough local material to furnish a good team, but as Morenci is figuring on having d faster team than she had last season, it will be necessary for Clifton to look on the outside for an extra pitcher and possibly one or two other players. It is understood that the pitcher will arrive here in the near future. Here's to the success oS the Clifton ball team and may they win thous and victories.

EIetcaif Trail is Accented.

At the meeting of the board of supervisors 'ast week the new Met calf trail Was accepted and warrant sued to O. J. Cotey for the payment of the same. It is understood that the trail is not built wide enough in many places 10 insure absolute safety. but as matter of fact it is wider than the contract called for. The new trail is a great convenience to the Metcalf people who travel to Cliff ton, but it can be improved in places by widening. This work will proba- bly be done as fast as funds are avail able for the work: consequently in the C urse of the next year or two it will b- one of the best trails in this dis trict. This trail will also be a great relief from danger on the Coronado railroad, as in past years. people travelrd on the right-of-way and through tunnels in places where the cars could not be seen more than fifty feet ahead.
