Trick 1-A's lead OF trumps at the start
is not an unwarrantable venture. True,
one can hardly expect to bring in a suit
with three trumps. but if A can fnd
his partner longer in trumps than either
adversary, and can get out three rounds
at once. his chance for making his
whole suit Of hearts is bright one The
lead Is speculative. of course but has
a fair chance to succeed and such
chances are often worth trying In a
compass game.
Trick 3-But to go on with trumps after
losing the ace of diamonds is entirely
wrong. A is now on the defensive and
should abandon the forward game at
once.
Tick 6-Z. having the two best trumps
can afford to lead once. at all events, and
see how they drop. Y unguards his spa de
king in order that may fully under
stand that they hold the diamond suit be-
tween them. The rest of the deal PLAYS
itself, though at trick rs proper con-
tinuation is the diamond 10 instead Of
the low one.
Sometimes It becomes necessary to
abandon ones own suit, even though
holding considerable strength. for that OF
partner And this not necessarily becaus
it is more evident that partners can be
brought in. but because such tactics seem
to promise more favorable DEVELOPMENT
in the end-play. Here is an example
from the same match as the deal quoted
above, In which the abandonment of the
leaders suit. aided by little tudicious
false cardlng, secured a top score TRUMP,

Trick And here refuses to play an

or Of trumps, as B cannot hold them
both. B. however. probably holds one OF
them and can ruff q heart. A therefore
abandons his own suit, in which, indeed,
he dislikes to play away from the major
tenace, and throws the losing diamond
in order that the adversaries may lead a
heart for b to trump. B must then lead
either a spade up to AS tenace, or a dia-
mond upon which he can discard or over

CHESS TOURNEY
FURNISHES SURPRISE
Tail-Enders Break Even in
Match With the
Leaders.

The votaries of chess are accustomed to
pride themselves with the idea that there
| is no element of luck in their favorite
game. This contention is in the main
just, since. as a game purely of Skill
chess is probably without peer. Never
theless, there are upsets even in chess, as
was amply demonstrated last Wednesday
evening" when the Government Printing
Office, undefeated leaders in the first
round of the team championship series,
could do no better than break even with
Independent Bureaus, who had been dis
tanced in the competition. OF course,
most any member of the company pres
ent would have laid extravagant odds on
the Printers before the contest began, as
they had the same quartet on hand that
had previously been bowling over their
opponents good, bad and Indifferent, with
the utmost regularity; yet on this occas-
ion the Bureaus actually won two of the
three games played. and, had they their
fourth man, might have inflicted an even
worse disaster on their opponents.
The heroes of the evening were Ruff
and Bursley, who antagoniZed, respective
ly. Mccormick and Arends Both these
encounters were hard-fought battles. They
were only won by narrow margins and
after persistent effort on the part of the
winners. kistler continued his winning
streak by taking a game from Powell,
while Graham made the match square by
receiving a forfeit
Agriculture A had no difficulty in dis
posing of Interior B: Zapoleon, Hunting
ton and Roberts. in the order named
winning from Whitten, Lounsberry and
Dimick Among the unfinished business
recently brought to an issue may be men
toned Webster and Mundelle of War
Navy. who scored wins from Tupper and
Satterly of Treasury. and Huntington and
Roberts, Agriculture A, who accounted
for Whitten and Dimick in a postponed
match with Interior B.
The summaries, team standing and in
dividual scores of 800 per cent and above
to date are as follows:

Team captains and all others interested
are requested to note a change in this

engagement of Frank ]. Marshall, which

Exhibition by Marshall.
The foremost American exponent OF
chess, Frank j. Marshall, has started a
tour of the principal cities of the United
States. and has been engaged to give an
exhibition at local headquarters Wednes-
day evening next, the 9th inst. Mar
shall has recently returned from a pro-
longed visit to Europe. which was under
taken chiefly to take part in a number
of the big masters tournaments that oc-
CURED at various places there during the
past six months. He was first prize win
ner in one of these and captured a good
share of the money in the others. His
program included some individual mattel. .es
as well, in the las. of which he had for
his opponent the redoubtable Mieses
whose skill is we'll known in this coun-
try. Marshall placed fitting climax on
his tour by winning this match.
The exhibition next Wednesday will
take the customary form of a simulta-
neous display, open to all comers at the
usual fee. Many of the best known local
experts are anxious to break a lance with
their famous countryman, who, as is well
known, plays the most brilliant chess OF
any of the living masters of the game
His style reminds one of the first great
native champion of the game, Paul Nor
ply, who aStonished the chess world half
a century ago with the unprecedented
daring of his tactics. Since Morphy S
time the game of chess as played by its
chief eXponents has, generally speaking
developed into a more or less exact math-
ematical science. The present world $
champion, Lasker, and his predecessor
SteintZ, are shining examples of this
type. 1t is. all the more refreshing, there
FORE when a player of the old school has
sufficient genius and enterprise to dash
in and take his share of the spoils In COM
petition with the sure-thing champions OF
modern times.
Such player is Marshall, and all who
are on hand next Wednesday evening will
without doubt see some scintillating
chess, while those, II there be any, who
may be fortunate enough to outwit the
champion will have good reason to be
proud of the exploit.
Intending participants should be at the
clubrooms, 614 18th street northwest, be-
fore 8 o'clock, and should apply to Secre-
tary Lavender, who will make the assign
ments to the respective boards.
