CHESS AND CHECKERS.
Tourney at Capital City Club to
Start in a Few DAYS,

AT the Capital City Chess and Check
er Club preparations are being made
for commencing the club championship
chess tournament and play will begin
In few days. The field will be strong,
several former tournament prize win
ners having announced their intention
OF entering the contest. a general
tournament will also be arranged for
the benefit of members who do not
care to enter the championship event.
The tournament committee is consid-
ering the advisability of restricting
the players in the general tournament
TO the use of some particular opening,
as close study of the various lines
ticular series OF opening moves is
known to be highly instructive. All
tournament games will be played at
the rooms of the club, 18th street and
New York avenue northwest where,
unless all signs fail. business will be
humming for several weeks to come
The checker match for the champion
ship of the District between Mr..
Charles Farquhar, the present cham
pion. and the well known expert, Mr.
+. f. Potts, is now in progress, and
checker enthusiasts. The games are
played Tuesday and Saturday even
ings, and will be continued until six
teen games have been played. There
is trouble ahead for somebody, as the
winner has been challenged by W. B.

trict The score at present is as fol-
lows: Farquhar, won 4, lost I, drawn

ideas in regard to the rules for mex
year, has had rather successful career
as a coach. 1t will be remembered under
the old rules while Princeton did not
close scores that the Bulldog had little ii
anything on the Orange and Black. AL
though Yale is school Of three times the
size of Princeton, Roper generally man
aged to turn out an eleven which held it's
own against the Dark Blue. But Prince
ton was dissatisfied and wanted to win
and it got rid of Roper for year. He
went west and gave the University OF
Missouri the best eleven that 1t had had
in years and won from its old rival, the
in ten years. In the interim Princeton
was having a very poor season The
next year it got Roper back and success
again came the Tigers way, although ne
did not win from Yale. This year he
accomplished what all Princeton men
and that was victory over Yale.
Roper has had such success at Prince
ton that he will probably stay at the head
of foot ball In that school as long as he
cares for the place.
Stagg of Chicago, who was one of the
chief opponents of the forward pass dur
ing the past two years, is now stoutly
against it. A year ago Stage said That
the forward pass was the prettiest play
be to almost ruin what had already been
accomplished in changing the rules, but
now he wants it cut out of the CODE.
Wonder II it is possible that Chicago has
had much success with the play this
year.
Whether or not the forward pass is a
success the rule-makers had better go
slow, if they don't want to undo what
has already been done toward alternating
the great outcry raised against the game
two years ago.
Injuries are so prone to be magnifed
in foot ball that one can never really
tell Just the extent of the injuries re-
ceived by men who are playing on teams
not in the Immediate vicinity. Hurts
received in foot ball, that if given in any
other sport would hardly be mentioned
receive columns of attention in the
newspapers. For instance. to bring out
a. concrete case of such an instance, 1t
may be mentioned that Friday following
the foot ball games Thanksgiving day, a
column story of probably fatal injuries
received by local men was printed. When
seen the next day the coach OF the
team on which the supposedly dying man
had played was asked as to how the
player was making out. The coach re-
piled that the first he knew of anybody
being seriously hurt was when he saw 1t
in the paper the morning after the game
And vet, in spite Of that, there was a
statement in the story in question which
went so far as to say that the doctor
in attendance on the injured player en-
tertained some hopes Of his recovery. It
is very doubtful If the player ever gave
any thought to the hurt received by him
after the game.
