Owing to the temporary absence from

plete scores and further announcements
regarding the solving tourney will be

nlshed an exciting tussle between the
leading contestants In the chess division
The solvers were warned some time ago
to look out for tricks and trans In the
problems, since the authors solutions
alone were not severe enough test in
a two-mover solving contest. After the
seventh problem the four leaders all had
perfect scores. and IL became necessary
to put in some tricky ones in order to
break the ties. No. &, which had six
cooks. caught Messrs. Pratt and Stephen
son unawares and left the field 10 Messrs
Arends and Berner. The authors solu-
tion In No. was found by all four. but
there was an extra point in this problem
which everybody missed This compli-
Gated two-er was composed by +. Gam
age, Westboro. Mass and illustrates q
very difficult theme. but unfortunately it
Is not sound and therefore afforded an
extra point to all solvers detecting the
structural error In It's makeup The
unsoundness consists in the impossibiiity
or the three white pawns on the queens
nle arriving in their respective positions
as result OF actual play. This defect
invalidates the problem.
No. 10 was another Indian which was
equal to the task of breaking the tie be-
tween Messrs. Arends and Berner, al
though. singularly enough, both fell down
partially on IL. There Is no authors soiu-
ton TO this problem. 1t was. in fact, pur-
posely juggled so as to provide large
number OF solutions. The same problem
is presented again this week with the
Kt changed from B6 to K6 this being
all that is necessary to make II sound
problem.
AS published last week there were
eight ways Of effecting mate in two
moves. Messrs. Stephenson and Thiele
found them all, while Mr. Berner got
seven and Mr.. Arends six. Both the lat
ter missed the Kt-Q4 solution, and the
last-named overlooked in addition the
comparatively simple Q-Q4ch. Mr.. Ber-
ner is therefore to be congratulated upon
winning an extremely close fight by =
single point only.
Mr.. Arends is thanked for his "Ameri-
can Indian" two-mover problem. which

promoter, pulling his mustache fiercely.
1t was the day before boxing contest
at the old Maud Junction pavilion and
one Of the principals had failed to show

Max Weber, a sturdy featherweight
was billed to appear In a twenty-round
contest and his opponent had disappeared
Where can / get a good boy to go

did much business of walking up and

McCarey. looking at the little ragged
figure.

McCarey, finally.
"COn mucho gusto. senor,' eagerly
cried the little Mexican lad.
"Well. show up tomorrow at least a
half hour before the contest so we will
be sure you are on hand and McCarey
started away
Again there was a little Mexican lad
tugging at his sleeve.
Well. now what do you want?' asked
boy.
Did Not Have Cartare.
The latter hesitated few moments and
then blurted out that he did not have car
fare to go out to the pavilion, and also
that he would be able to fight a much
better fight on the morrow If he should
be able to eat a great square meal that
evening and do the same thing the fol-
lowing morning. McCarey ''came across
and Jose Rivers. or Joe Rivers, as he is
now known to pugilistic fame. got his
first chance in the squared circle.
The next day he entered the ring in a
borrowed pair Of trunks, an old pair Of
worn-out tennis shoes and a fill stom-
ach. He tore into Weber, and in the
third round knocked him out.
Recently at the same place different
scene was enacted.
McCarey and a number of fight pro-
| moters and fight fans were standing in
| little groups in the same cigar store,
when there came the honls -honk OF a
horn, and. with rush and roar OF ex-
haust and grinding brakes, a five-thoa1-
sand-dollar automobile swung up in front
of the little cigar stand.

sparkled from his fingers and cravat
He tossed light dust coat into the rear
seat of the automobile, and. f1icking
particle of dust from his highly polished
tan shoes, stepped forth briskly into the
cigar store.

all conversation McCarey stepped up
eagerly and shook hands with the new
conner. The latter was Mexican boy,
