TOURNEY PROVES !
GREAT SUCCESS
Splendid Play Marks Almost
Every Game. in Recent
Chess Matches.
DECIDE A TIE By
PLAYING EXTRA GAME
Whitaker, Local Man. Earns
First PIace-Work of Ste
phenson a Feature.

Viewed from any angle. the recent invi
tation tournament OF the Washington
Chess and Whist Club was tho most note
worthy chess event ever staged in this
city and one that will long be remem-
bered by both players and Spectators. BY
winning the ilrsr prize Norman T. Whit
aker added another. and the greatest.
mark to his unbroken record Of victories
in this locality. That player of his abil-
i,y was forced to go extra innings" to
obtain this result is eloquent evidence as
to the quality OF chess played So close
behind the leader were the two Virginia
experts. w. n. Woodbury. and w. L..
Norman. that. in me final round. a vic
tory for Woodbury. would have given him
first prize. placed Whitaker second and
Norman third. while win for Norman
would have given him a tie with Whit
aker for first place and put Woodbury.
third. This critical situation was known
early In the game and resulted I'm six
hours of nerve-racking play. from which
neither player could gain the advantage.
the contest being drawn after seventy
nine moves. This dramatic situation was
brought about by Mr.. c. II. Stephenson.
At the beginning of the final round Mr..
Whitaker had comfortable lead OF one
point and needed only to draw to be sure
of at least tie for first place lie tried
a Phiiander defense. in which opening he
had been trapped by Knapp in the fourth
round and only escaped a beating hy most
resourceful and mastery end-game play.
and was most brilliantly defeated by Mr
Stephenson in twenty-five moves.
Too much praise cannot be given to
the work of this modest and retiring
young Wash.ngtonian in this tournament.
His practice in chess is almost entirely
confined to correspondence games. and
he has probably not played twelve games
over the board In the pas: Year. Mr.
Whitaker. in commenting Upon this
game said: Stephenson every move
was absolutely perfect He took imme-
diate and full ADVANTAGE of every mistake
Lasker himself could not have handled
the situation more brilliantly and cor
rectly.' 1t will be recalled that H. Lie6-
enstein. the Baltimore star. met similar
fate at the hands of Mr.. Stephenson in
the Southern Chess Association tourney
two years ago. the game on that occa-
sion ending I'm a brilliant and problemat-
cal announced mate in five moves. MIR.
Stephenson has long been recognized as
one Of the foremost correspondence mas
tiers in the country and il would not take
much practice to make him a national
figure in over-the-board play. Ernest
Norman. again demonstrated that he is
able to hold his own in the highest anna
teur circles and. as he is only eighteen
y ears old, even better play may be ex-
pected of him in the near future. f.. r.
Adams and w. r. Pratt played sterling
chess and deserve more credit than the
score shows. but the breaks of the
game seemed always to be against them.
The following box score Of the tourna-
ment will show Just how each player

cArCHERs NOT TO BLAME.
Stealing Made Possible by Pitchers
Inability to Hold Runners On.

CHICAGO June 7.-Catchers on the
American League teams often get to-
gether when the club is on the road
and fan about stolen bases. and there is
feeling among the receivers that very
often the pitcher should be charged with
the pilfered sacks. Every base ball fan
is of the opinion that the catcher is TO
blame for the stolen bases. But the
catchers have a kick coming on that
score. They say they are not to blame in
the majority of cases. The pitcher is
equally as much to blame. The trouble
seems to be that there are many twirl-
ers who have not a good motion TO first
base and cannot hold men on the bags.
This does not keep the runners nailed
TO the sack. and the result is that
the runner gets a good start. and no
matter how good the throw OF the
catcher may be he could not get his
man. 1t happens very often during the
season. The catchers sure have a kick
coming on this subject.

just as long as you have catarrh,

their power; they are continually and
persistently digging into and irritating
the mucous membrane of your nose
and throat. They are now making your
life miserable.
If you do not kill the loathsome
germs of catarrh, their desperate as
saults will in time undermine your
reason. rob your brain Of its brilliancy

physical, but a mental wreck.

There is one remedy sold by drug

rises to the distinction Of being any

could be in any way connected with
