part of the department to withdraw
the Oregon from the Pacific reserve
fleet at the navy yards on Puget
Sound.
"The true status Of the vessel will
be somewhat modified in the near fu

duty" the secretary continues. "simi
lar action is to be taken in the case Of
certain other battleships in the Allan

Although Marshall lost and might have
been tied by Jose X. Capablauca, the

his game with Kupehik. OF New York.
The Cuban champion, who was bit TOO
anxious. pushed his attack too impetu-
