NAPOLEON LEADS IN MATCH
FORCES to Front in Title Contest,
Which Is Hard Fought
Battle.

The ninth game of the match for the
championship of the District. between
Champion f. 3. Walker and l.. B.
Napoleon (well known to Washington
chess players as the strongest repre-
sentative of the younger group of chess
players in this city,, was contested at
two sittings during the past week at
the rooms of the Capital City Chess
and Checker Club, Napoleon winning by
an accumulation of small advantages
in closely contested game. in which
both players exhibited a knowledge of
the fine points of chess far beyond the at
tainments of the average player.
The score now stands five to four in
favor of Zapoleon, and when it is con-
sidered that in the earlier stages of the
contest the score stood four to one
in favor of the champion much credit
must be given to Napoleon for taking
Tour games in succession and placing
himself in position of advantage as
to the final outcome of the match.
Chess players who are well acquainted
with Mr. Walker will. however. remem-
Der that he is a his best when his back
is against the wall and 1t need not
surprise any interested followers of this
end of the tenth game, which will be
played, or at least commenced Mon
day night. May 81
Dates have been arranged for the post
poned games in both divisions of the
Evans gambit tournament. and probably
by another week the prizes will be set
tied and the program clea red for some
thing new. which will in all proba bilitv
be an unrestricted tournament as most
OF the players are getting satiated with
.'gambits.
General satisfaction is however being
expressed on all hands as to the success
of the recent kings gambit and Evans
gamDit tournaments. and it is a matter
of easy demonstration that the PLAYING
ability OF those who participated in the
two events has risen TO. an appreciable
degree.
The two solving contests are raging
fierceiy, and il now looks as though many
ties will pe on record i'm the final
stages, but solvers who GO not examine
we'll into the positions offered them for
solution during the final stages of the
contest will likely suffer a reduction in
percentage: this is not a threat but
simply fair warning, and don't think
for a moment that 'two-mover'' can
always be solved at a glance. No ; in
the chess contest will. however be found
quite easy by most soivers and was en-
tered principally on account of its beauty
rather than its difficulty. hut don't take
