n. I. Whitaker and H L. Bauder, OF
Pennsylvania, won their games in the
third round of the annual tournament OF
the Triangular College. Chess League. AT
the rooms of the Rice Chess Club, yester-
day, and so increased their lead for the
trophy to two points. If beaten in both
games in the final round today they would
still be tied for the cup.
At the close OF the play yesterday, which
was again prolonged by a stubborn struggle
in which Bauder was engaged with f. III.
Guild. of Brown. Pennsylvania aggregate
of points had climbed to 5ls, whereas Cor
nelPs pair stood second with 81. points.
Brown brings up the rear. a poor third.
without so much draw to her credit.
The two representatives of Brown CON
tributed a game each for the benefit OF
Pennsylvania and Cornell At the other
board, Whitaker. the senior player for
Pennsylvania, vanquished c. E. Simonson.
OF Cornell, in what was the pivotal game
of the round.
Whitaker with a clean record. offered
the Kings Gambit to Simonson at the
first table. the Cornell player declining TO
accept the pawn Play followed the lines
of the gorin-Pillsbury game at HasI
tings for some moves but on his ninth
10 win the exchange. but avoided the COM
plications and forced Whitaker to move
his king TO the queen square, which the
Pennsylvania did on the eleventh move.
There was some jockeying on the part OF
both players TO gain time, Whitaker being
disinclined to exchange queens. Simonson
tried to force this exchange on the eigh-
teenth move. but the attempt proved to be
"a serious blunder which cost him
knight. and he resigned on the twentieth
move
Tolins, of Cornell, adopted the Petrof
Defence against Emmons, OF Brown. The
latter should have castled on the queens
side of the board, when he had the op-
portunity. In addition he failed TO ap-
preciate the full strength of his opponents
thirteenth move, by means of which Toins
was enabled to force a winning continue
ton. After eighteen moves Emmons re-
signed.
Guild. of Brown. had to contend against
French Defence set up by Bauder of
Pennsylvania, and developed the opening
in novel manner. The Philadelphian gave
attention 10 the queens wing, and in the
course of the middle game won a pawn.
Guild made strong resistance from then on,
but Bauder never relaxed his grip until he
scored the game, after sixty moves.
