Allen has a strong admiration for
soldiers. He seldom misses military
parade and his childish fancy has so
idealized the boys in blue that he
considers them little short of perfec-
ton.
Not long ago his mother took him to
see an elderly friend of hers-a sweet
faced, silver-haired woman, who Is the
widow of veteran of the civil war.
Before arriving at the house Mrs. Par
ker told Allen this bit of her friends
history. and consequently the boy ac-
corded this beautiful woman the most
reverent attention.

Perplexed mother writes: MY child

babies a hypodermic of morphine for
sneezing. But we have always felt
that this was too harsh remedy.
Give the baby about three Tablespoons
fuls of Old Tom gin with little sugar
and pinch of lemon peel. The sugar
makes this remedy more grateful to

SPRlNTER WALKER
ASKS TOO MUCH

NEW YORK, May There is good
chance that Reginald Walker. the South
African sprinter. winner of the 1OO-meter
dash at the London Olympic games last
summer. who is credited abroad with
having done 92-5 seconds for 100 yards
since then. may not run here after all.
In a letter to one of the English papers
Walker declares that unless he is mighty
careful he will be beaten IL he ever does
come to this country. by fair methods if
possible. but by foul If necessary. Ac-
cording to his line of reasoning 1t is all
cooked up for him to lose If he ever
meets Jimmy Rector in a match race.
To avoid this he makes it one of the
conditions Of his proposed visit that he
must have q starter from England-one,
presumably, whom he will bring over
here. This English official must start all
races In which Walker competes.
1t is a safe bet that he will never be
given his own way in this. In the
Olympic hundred meters and in a great
many of his trials since Walker beat
the gun. Before the race in the stadium
the official starter of that event coached
Walker for two solid weeks. The photo.
graphs OF the start prove that he got
away from his mark two or more good
1eet aneau OI lHc fAiHeTlCdH contestants.
While nobody will for a minute even
attempt to detract from Walkers ability
as a sprinter. his records have not been
accepted in this country, and will not be
until he shows something to warrant the
belief that he can really go 100 yards in
20 seconds But IL he can go that fast
he will get every opportunity to do So
and he will get just as square a deal
from every American starter as any
Yankee would. But it is a cincl that
he will not be permitted to name his own
official.

VERY CLOSE RACE
FOR RICE PRIZE
Exciting Duel Between Lead
ers in the Chess
Tourney.

The race between Landry and Zapoleon
in the annual tourney at the Chess Club
for the honor of being Rice gambt cham
pion for the ensuing year has assumed
new phase during the past week. By
scoring two wins against only one by his
competitor Zapoleon has become first in
the percentage list and now leads Lam
dry by q slight margin, while SEE and
Pratt are respectively third and fourth.
but with practically no chance of head
ing the two leaders. Landry still has an
advantage of two and one-half games in
the winning column. to offset which Ia
poleon has one and one-half points less in
the losing column. The latter is there
fore four games behind. Of which he
must win a majority in order to hold his
place.
In spite of the fact that he has recent
ly had the better luck, Zapoleon must be
credited with very fine performance IN
overcoming Landry's long lead, more es-
pecially as his first two games in the
tourney were both lost. Since then his
actual record has been nine wins, one loss
and three draws.
Landry's last two games were wins at
the expense of Hitchcock. The first
game. wherein the last named had the
white pieces, ended abruptly on the ninth
move by reason of the loser falling into
the famous "Byler trap" which was so
successful in last years tourney. Hitch
cock was unacquainted with this trap.
which is sprung by merely pushing an
innocent looking pawn one square. 1t IS
a perfectly fiendish thing, as it is quite
difficult to see and it's effect is to win the
queen absolutely, so that further play is
useless.
The other game between these players
was a long and hard fought struggle that
should have ended in a draw, but a weak
move by Hitchcock in an ending, with
king and three pawns on each side, gave
Landry an opportunity which he turned
to good account. subsequently queenins
pawn which ended the fight.
This game was interesting from the fact
that Landry had the courage to play the
Alapin attack to the JaSnogrodsky de-
fense, which consists in capturing the
black knights pawn with queen on the
fourth move. The play looks risky. but
after retiring the queen to kings second
on the next move. this is followed by
queen takes bishop-black having played
knight to knight's-and white gets a good
game Landry, however, played queen
takes knight instead of queen takes bish-
op and probably should have had a little
the worst of it had black made the most
of the opportunity. Instead, Hitchcock
chose a continuation which brought about
the same position as if white had made
the proper capture to begin with.
Spectacular Game.
Possibly the most extraordinary game
in the whole tourney was recently con-
tested by Zapoleon twhte) and Halstead
(black), from which the former emerged
lucky winner. The most remarkable
thing about this game was that at the

finish there were were four queens on the
board, two of each color, besides rocks
and other pieces. Furthermore, the loser
had his two queens first, with the attack
but not realizing there was any possibil-
ity of danger, he failed to press matters
sufficiently, allowing the white king to
get into safety, after which Zapoleon had
mis- turn at attacking and completely
turned the tables.
The opening was variation Of the
Lipschuetz defense, and was indiherently
met by white, the result being that Hal
stead soon had strong though compli-
Gated position. His attack on the king s
side became so powerful that his oppo-
nent could not prevent his queening
pawn. and at this point the right COM
bination would no doubt have won imme-
diately. But there was no easy forced
mate In sight. and Halstead naturally
thought no haste was required. Zapaleon.
however, although on the point OF resign
ing what looked like a hopeless game,
persevered until the unexpected happened.
Having placed his king and queen very
adroitly his chance finally came and he
was able to initiate an attack which later
on yielded him another queen and the
game.
The principal gambit scores to date are
as below.
