CHESS AND CHECKERS.
Zapoleon Probable Winner Of Chess
Tourney,

It looks like Napoleon for first place in
the championship chess tournament at
the Capital City Chess and Checker
Club. Zap" scored his fifth consecutive
win last Thursday night when he beat
Walker in a finely played double Ruy
Lopez. Walker was picked by many to
win first prize and may turn the trick
yet. but he can't possibly do SO unless
Napoleon loses a game: he has three more
to play. and Lowell, Adams and Webster
will each have an opportunity to distin-
guish themselves by taking fall out of
him.
Walker is still second, having lost but
one game. and Lowell Is third with a
score of 211 to ~. Pratt is playing be-
low form this year. but may finish strong
and change the complexion Of things by
beating some OF the leaders.
The Kings Gambit tournament is about
half finished with Wooton still in the lead.
He lost his first game Friday night, to
Kistler. hard fought game In which
kistler showed some of the strength
he used to display in the old Department
al League games Shade, Purcell, Kistler
and Molkow are running close and second
place Is much in doubt.
The continuous handicap tournament
having been played during the past week.
The handicap games are the staple form
Of amusement at the club. and it is prob
able that twelve or fifteen hundred
games will be played by the end Of the
first three-month period.
The checker committee announces that
the first round of the club championship
checker tournament Is scheduled for next
Saturday night, January Is. All checker
players desiring to enter this tournament
should report to the committee at once. as
very little time is left in which to arrange
the pairings. Among those who have
already entered are Farquhar. Potts
Mundelle. Grove, Humphrey and Chand-
ler
Last night was checker night. several
of the cracks being present. The checker
habit seems to be growing at the club
and it ought not to be long before the
Capital City Club has as strong an ag-
gregation of checker players as has
ever been gotten together in the city. All
checker players are cordially invited to
visit the club whether they wish to play
In the tournament or not.
Following is the game between Zapole-
on and Walker. White could have won
more quickly by adopting a different line
of play on the thirtieth move but pre-
ferred to simplify:

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, January g..
Manager William Neff of the University
of Virginia track team divulged some in
teresting information after a short confab
with Coach Lannigan this afternoon. and
incidentally announced his schedule for
the indoor season. The Orange and Blue
cinder FATHERS will make their initial bow
in two dist net attractions on the evening
Of February 10.
The greater part OF the team-probably
about fifteen men-will be sent to Wash
ington to compete in the games under the
auspices of George Washington Cniver-
sity. Arrangements have practically been
completed for a one-mile relay race with
Washington and Lee and University OF
North Carolina Still another relay will
be sent to the games in Boston on the
same evening, and will be matched In a
triangular race with Yale and Harvard.
The latter is only an experiment for the
purpose Of giving Coach Lam gan a line
on the exact strength of his team.
A number of men will be entered in the
individual events in the George Washing
ton meet.
One week later the squad will be sent
to Baltimore to take part in the joint ath-
sity and the 9Th Regiment Athletic Asso-
citation In the 9Th Regiment Armory. At
this time the Orange and Blue quartet
will be pitted against Hopkins In the
browning event OF a program that W ii
be one Of the most interesting in the his
tory Of the games. The relay will be gen.
orally looked upon as preliminary for
the southern championships.
The evening Of February "a the team
will go to Richmond for a set of games
under the auspices Of the Richmond Col
lege Athletic Association At this time
Virginia's relay will meet Cornell and pos
sibly quartet from another college to be
announced later
AS usual, the Orange and Blue team
will be well represented in the George
town University indoor carnival in Con-
vention Hall March =. The decisive relay
with this event will be that run with
Georgetown. From the present outlook
Virginia's chances to repeat her victories
of the past few seasons are none too
bright. However, Coach Lannigan is
hopeful that the experience gained in
meets up to this time will pave the way
to another victory. AS to the outdoor
season, nothing definite has been planned
as yet, but it is almost a sure thing that
the program Will be similar to that plan
ned last year. Dual meets with Hopkins
and the University of Pennsylvania are
almost assured. while another three-cor-
nered affair with Carolina and Washing
ton and Lee is hanging fire. The annual
games under the auspices of the Univer-
sity General Association will be held the
latter part OF April and on larger scale
than ever before.

game to beat on any alley where the match
