CHESS AND CHECKERS

F. B. Walker, chess champion of the
District, is now leading in the major
division of the Evans gambit tournament
at the Capital City Chess and Checker
Club. He went ahead last Monday night
by defeating w. P. Pratt, who, up to that
time, had a clean score of four wins.
Wednesday night Pratt won from Ia
poleon, tying with Walker, but later lost
two games to Mundelle, lowering him
self to third place. and. incidentally, i'm
proving EMundelle's score considerably
In division B Rial has fine score,
only one draw having been registered
against him, and that in the first round
Of the tournament, since which he has
won ten consecutive games.
Interest in both divisions is at pretty
high pitch, as evidenced by the consist
ent study Of the different variations
given in the leading text book on the
game.
The. match for the District champion
ship between F. B. Walker, present cham
pion, and L. B. Zapofeon, challenger, q will
take place soon after the close Of the
tournament now in progress, in which
both principals are engaged. Neither of
the above players will engage in any
secondary matches until the champion
ship question is settled, after which the
winner will be found ready to defend his
title, and the loser to engage in friendly
matches with any who care to challenge.
The standings OF the leaders in both
divisions of the gambit tournament are
as follows:

proposition to hold a field trial meeting
in the District of Columbia next. fall will
be held at 424 9th street northwest next
Thursday evening at 7:3O o'clock. 1t has

be formed and the field trials be held in
connection with it. It's hoped that a
sufficient number will turn out to make
the meeting a success. Grason H. Gent
men are expected at the meeting. There
is no reason why the movement cannot
be crowned with success. and give owners
and lovers OF field dogs a most ENJOYABLE

ed. If an acceptance of this challenge is

play.
In connection with today's "Combina-
ton Study, here is a quotation from an
article on this game by Hermann Helms
the celebrated New York chess writer
and critic: similar in general charac-
teristic to the Observation-Disclosures game
at San Sebastien, but much more COM
pick and containing a great deal Of play
which Albert w. Fox Of Washington, ID.
c., wrested from T. F. Lawrence at the
third board in the recent cable match
will rank not alone as the most brilliant
in the Anglo-American series, but will
hold it's own by comparison with the most
mastery examples of international chess"
"All in all 1t is safe to say that
the ending of the game, which earned for
the winner the distinction of the gold
medal donated by the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle, will be rated as one of the finest
specimens of ending ever produced In
over-the-board play"
