Special Correspondence OF The Star.
TOME SCHOOL, PORT DEPOSIT. Md,
June Z, 1912.
Last Saturday Tome closed the most
successful track season in the history of
the school, when it defeated the strong
Lawrenceville team on its grounds by a
score of 65 points to 43 points. Lawrence
vile had only week before defeated An
dover and Worcester Academy in the
slight favorite before the meet. However,
Tome easily carried the day.
Tome started the season by winning the
George Washington University meet, at
Washington, ID. G., in February. Close
~ following this, Tome easily won the
meet held in Richmond. Va. 1t came
through with victory perched upon her
banner again when the Maryland school
defeated the cream of the south in the
annual southern championships given by
the University of Virginia The next
meet was a hard test for Coach c. w.
Maysers boys. 1t has been said that no
southern prep school had ever quite had
the temerity to enter the big New York
meets. Tome decided that IL would make
the attempt At the meet given by the
New York University Tome won first
place with 43 points, while the next school
had only II points. This meet had field
of 100 picked athletes. representing the
best in Lawrenceville and other big
schools.
The next big meet was given by Column
bia University, and was considered the
biggest schoolboy event of the year. The
meet was held in New York. and 800 trained
athletes took part. Schools from far and
wide came to bring home the laurels.
but Tome kept up her winning streak and
won again, with SO points, while Hotch-
kiss and the other big New England
schools could gather only 10 or less points.
The winning of the Lawrenceyille meet
closes an unusually successful track sea-
son. and Tome can well boast that her
team stands among the best ones in the
country

Are Gambits DeadP

sue of June > that gambits have been
practically abandoned because Of the
great percentage of wins for. Black. II
was also stated that the masters had
long since rendered the verdict against
the gambits.
Curiosity led me to collect a few figures
The noted chess periodical La Strategic
in the six years, 1906 to 1911, inclusive.
published the scores of sixty gambft
games in which the gambit was offered
by White. OF these games White won
81, Black won 10 and 3 were drawn

this makes the score stand for White

little better than two games out Of every
three.
During the same period there were
given the scores of twenty-five counter
gambits. or gambits offered by Black
As we would expect. these are more I'M
favorable. The player Offering the

Combining both sets We have for eighty
five gambit games. 46 which were won,
20 which We're lost and 10 drawn by the
player offering the gambit. Counting
draws as one-half we find that the play
er offering the gambit won three out OF
every five games, or 81 out of the total
OF 81.
This does not look as If gambits had
died because Of the large percentage Of
wins for Black, or the player to whom
the galnbit is offered. If gambits afford
Black such a fine chance to win, why
does he nearly always decline them?

which involve the sacrifice OF a piece, we
find that out of - games White won

Black does not even break even on this
opening.
As "A further basis OF comparison,

losses for White. This is not quite as
favorable for the first player as the re-
suits of the eighty-five gambit games.
1t is true that gambits are not played
frequently. not as much as they should
be, but their detractors must advance
some more valid reason for their decline
than the statement that they yield large
margin of wins for Black.
