Third Round of Championship Tour

Tho third round of the championship
chess tournament of the Capital City
Chess and Checker Club was played
Thursday night, Mundelle winning a fine
game from Lowell. while Napoleon won
from Pratt in a neatly played end game
Pratt seeming at one time to have the
better of the game. Adams and Peet adj
iourned their game in a difficult position,
Peet being a pawn ahead at the time
Zapoleon is now leading with a clean
score of four wins. Walker Is second
with two won games to his credit.
In the gambit tournament Wootton is
still leading, having now eight wins and
a clean score. Shade Is second and Pur-
cell third, with Davidson close UP to him
The first honors are still in doubt, but 1t
looks as though Wootton will be in the
money. to say the least.
Complete preparations have been made
for the continuous handicap tournament
which starts this week. Most Of the club
members are looking forward with pleas
ure to this event, and a large majority of
them will be found, from now on. playing
the handicap games instead of tho ordi-
nary off-hand play.
The membership Of the club has in
creased 10 per cent in tho last two
months. necessitating Increased floor

OFFICIAL AVERAGES
OF COLONIAL LEAGUE
ManhattanS Have a Good
Lead and Whitney Is Best
Individual.

While the lead held by the Manhattans
| In the Colonial League has been cut
down until they are practically within
striking distance of the Pioneers, 1t
nevertheless will require an awful slump
on the part of the leaders and brilliant
squirt by the runners-up to bring these
two teams upon an even basis. This does
not necessarily mean that the Manhat-
tans by fair bowling have hammer-lock
upon the championship, as clean-ups by
the Pioneers in about four straight sets
and a game dropped here and there by
the Manhattans would soon bring them
together.
In the fight for individual leadership
George Whitney has tho call upon the
bunch with 1873. Harry Waters has the
same average for twelve games. while
Harry Krauss in six games looms up
with 215.
High set, 6S1, was rolled by Krauss in
his first set, while high game is held by
Val Walker. who has 249 to his credit.
In the matter of team average the
Pioneers and Manhattans outclass the
other six teams, with SS4 and S76, re-
spectively. Only two teams have been
able to reach the coveted thousand mark,
the Pioneers having pulled 1,O01 and the
Knickerbockers an even thousand.

Erne stipulates ten rounds for his.
Battling Nelson was well named the
Durable Dane When the. ex-cham-
gan he added few hundred punches to
| the large collection he has assimilated
during his career. To be truthful, Ho-
gan's gloves were in Bats face two
| on the forward march. Always after his
man, never on the retreat, the Battler's
showing in the face of odds was simply
another demonstration of his stout heart.
He was outpointed all the way. but
strong and full of fight at the finish.
My idea Of nothing to look at would be
bout between two men with the Nell
son style of milling. But when a fell
low like Bat is matched with clever
boxer, such as Hogan has developed
into. it becomes interesting. because it
brings out strongly the contrast between
the clever man who uses his mental as
well as physical equipment and the one
who relies upon his natural gifts of
courage and endurance.
The recent Knockout Brown-Leach
Cross contest demonstrated not only
that neither boy is in the championship
class. but also the desirability of and
crying demand for referees decisions.
The day following the match 1 waded
through fourteen leading New York
papers, and found that seven gave the
fight to Cross, four to Brown, while the
remaining three called 1t a draw.
1 am not going into the merits Of the
verdicts. / merely want to illustrate to
my readers the diversity of opinion that
exists among boxing critics and to show
how unfair. both to boxers and TO pub
lie, are the present methods OF judging
contests in New York.

tories to his credit over the best boys in
the class. barring the champion. john

battles, will be heavily backed to wrest

That Abe is still a wonderful fighter
was made clear in recent ten-round
bouts in this city. Whether he will stand
the gaff for twenty rounds with strong
young fellow like Johnny Kilbane Is a
question. Attell is no chicken. But,
then, the champion feather has always
done what he has been asked. Tom Nc
Carey has bagged one Of the best

GREATEST ATHLETIC TEAM
Ever to Represent America Arouses
Comment Abroad.

NEW YORK, December 30-The plans
OF the American Olympic committee for
the representation OF this country at
Stockholm next summer by the largest
athletic and amateur sport team ever as
sembled have evidently made a strong
impression abroad and not without rea-
son.
The record made by the American ath-
letes in the olympiads of the past is too
well known to require repetition. Yet the
very excellence Of these performances re-
quires, that the standard be maintained
In 1872. and this task grows harder at

competing countries are constantly striv-
ing to equal the record OF the athletes
from this country, thus forcing a. faster
and higher standard Of competition on
track and field.

tive to Mathewson brought the matter
all the more forciby to my mind. Dur
ing the worlds series, being only q spec
tator. L watched closely the work of the
pitchers and observed that MathewsOn,
Coombs, Crandall. Plank and Bender
seemed to pay close attention to- this fea-
ture of the game, that often goes by un-
noticed TO the average fan. 1t seemed to
this knowledge I'm the final game of the
series, the contest in which the Giants
were so badly trounced. In the opening
game Bender had used his curve ball very
ed with the Giants he also used his hook
to great advantage. Now, any pitcher
will tell you that the use of the curve
ball has weakening effect on the arm.
In the opening game Matty used curve,
curve, curve, and the use of 1t told on
him In his next time out.
When Bender was announced as the
pitcher for the sixth game 1T was after
or four days rule. The Giants figured
he couldn't have his curve ball up to the
standard, and that they ought TO be able
to connect 1 noticed that most Of the
Giants as they stepped to the plate
Rugged it as closely as possible. The
crafty Bender was quick to see It, and
throughout the contest he took advantage
of this fact. When hugging the plate
it was the fast one high and inside that
he served the Giants; when they stepped
back 1t was the sweeping curve on the
outside. Realizing he had to conserve
his energy, Bender made 1t point to try
to get that first ball over some part of
the plate, although never in the groove
In the first few innings he usually had
the Giants in the hole Then they started
hitting the first ball. but with poor re-
suits. 1t was certainly a masterful ex-
hibition of pitching on the part Of Ben
der. one of the greatest I have ever
seen.
There are many pitchers who think all
that Is necessary Is to throw curves,
fast ones and spitters. as the catcher
calls for them. regardless Of the position
assumed by the batter. The really great
stars Will tell you they serve to the bat
ter the ball they feel sure he Is not ex-
pecting. regardless Of what may be con-
sidered his weak or strong points.

Instead Of going in with his head down

forward fully erect. with the left hand
slightly extended, the right resting easily

of the best kind. There were no waste

walked into Lavigne, and like fash

counter was parted. and then, like

right of the Australian were whipped into
