LASKER MADE GAME
STAND in TOURNEY
Chess Champion of World
Retained HonOrs by a
Strong Finish.

The most pleasing feature about the St
Petersburg international congress con-
cluded on Friday was undoubtedly the re-
entry Of Lasker into the tournament ring.
For years past he has been an absentee
from all the important tournaments. and
when 1t became known that he would be
! a certain competitor at St. Petersburg.
the contest at once became one of the
most important OF modern times.
Starting in rather Indifferent form. he
nevertheless played some remarkable
chess and only once was he caught nap
ping-that being in a game with the Rus
sian master, Bernstein, who beat him
rather nicely. He improved in his play
almost daily.
BEGINNING the final tournament he was
one and a half points behind the leader,
the young Cuban champion. Capablanca-
After disposng of Janowski and Guns
berg in the two final rounds Of the pre-
liminary contest. Lasker beat Alechine,
Tarrasch, Marshall. Alechine a second
time. and Capablanca, after having drawn
with the latter in the second round Of the
supplementary contest, thereby making
total of ~ out of points, a most re-
markable achievement.
Lasker continued to play splendid chess
and had the satisfaction of placing once
more a first prize to his credit as was
duly stated in The Tribune yesterday.
1t is rather interesting to see how the
five men who played in the supplementary
contest Jared against one another. taking
the results of all the three games they
played against one another into consid-
Grafton. The results follow:
Lasker won 2 games from Capablanca,
21a from Alechine. 2 from Tarrasch and
2i1 from Marshall Total, g.
Capablanca won l from Lasker. 2la from
Alechine, IL from Tarrasch and 21a from
Marshall. Total. ~.
Alechine won y from Lasker, y from
Capablanca. 2la from Tarrasch and @s
from Marshall. Total, s.
Tarrasch won / from Lasker, ~ from
Capablanca, Y from Alechine and from
Marshall. Total. 8.
Marshall won y from Lasker, 4 from
Capablanca, y from Alechine and from
Tarrasch. Total. 2la.
Appended are the scores Of interesting
games from the St Petersburg interna-
tional tournament, just arrived by mail.
The attack worked up by Lasker in the
appended game against Capablancs as
second player can hardly be justified. and
he must be considered as fortunate in
having escaped paying the penalty of his
rash line of play.
Capablanca seemed to get the better OF
the fight. but the exchange Of queens left
the position fairly even.

BRUSSELS, Oct 31.-Absolute or

troops in cooperation with the Brus-
sells police. English, Russian and
French subjects, who are between the
ages of 20 and As, residing here, are
being arrested and sent to Germany as

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS
Confident OF VICTORY

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 31.-Two
senators, one for the full term of six
years, and one for the short term until
March 4, 1915, to fill out the unexpired
term Of the late Senator w. o. Bradley,
and eleven congressman will be chosen
in Kentucky next Tuesday. With the
Democrats now working in harmony,
all indications point to the success of
their senatorial candidates-former
Governor j. C. w. Beckham for the
long term and Johnson H. Camden for
the short term. The Republican can
didates are former Governor Wilson
and Marshal Bullitt, for the long and
short terms, respectively. Burton
Vance, Progressive, is campaigning for
the long senatorial term. In several
of the congressional districts the DEM
ocrats and Republicans are engaged in
close and interesting contests.

SUMTER VOTERS
MUST REMEMBER
STATE ELECTION

The general state election next Tues
day for governor, statehouse officials,
congressman, senators, state and ma
tional, county officers, ETC., will COM
mand the attention of the voters of
Americas and Sumter county, and is
the last state of county election for
the current year That full vote be
polled is quite important, and Sum-
ter's 1000 voters should accord the
many candidates that endorsement at
the ballot box to which they are fully
entitled.
In this final election the nominees of
the several primaries are to be formal
ly elected and Sumter pride should
impel her citizens to turn out a full
vote. Governor-elect Nat Harris, Sen
ators Hoke Smith and T. W. Hardwick:
Representative Charles R. Crisp; State
Senator c. R. McCrory; State Repre-
sentatives Crawford Wneatley and J.
E. Sheppard are to be formally elect
ed upon that day, as are the county Of
ficers of Sumter, numerous superior
court judges, solicitors and others. IL
it an important election and a repre-
sentative vote in Sumter should be
polled.

KANSAS SITUATION
NOW A PUZZLE

TOPEKA, Kas., Oct. 31.-Results of
Tuesdays election in Kansas cannot be
predicted with any degree of certainty,
owing to the factional differences di-
viding the ranks of the two older par
ties and the unknown strength of the
Progressive party, which is making it's
first run under its own name and or
ganization. Tt women this year will
vote for the first time for all candidates
and this is another element of uncer-
tainty. Of most interest is the race for
the senatorial seat of Joseph L. Bris-
tow, who was defeated for the Repub-
Iican nomination in the primaries by
former Senator Charles Curtis. Rep
resentative Victor Murdoch is the Pro-
gressive candidate Off the senate and
Representative George A. Neeley is the
Democratic choice. Governor George
H. Hodges, Democrat, is a candidate
for reelection. His opponents are
Arthur C. Capper, Republican, and
Henry ]. Allen, Progressive.

IKE KALMON To
HEAD SALLY
LEAGUE

That Ike Kalmon, president of the
Georgia State league, is slated to
succeed Nick Cornish as president OF
the South Atlantic ;eague, was the
news brought here yesterday by a
prominent drummer, who is as much
a baseball fiend as knight of the
grip. That Mr.. Kalmon's name will be
offered at the next meeting of the
league, and that he will be elected on
the first ballot seems sure, this wise
one states.
The fact that the directors of the
Sally league passed up the election of
a president at their last meeting lends
color to the statement of this drum
merriam. Evidently Nick Cornish has
run his race as boss of this fast Glass
c league.
The fact that Mr.. Kalmon was sus-
tanned by the National Commission in
every one of his rulings last season
proves his ability as baseball mogul.
Not single decision was reversed by
Farrell and his co-w0rkers.
AS to whether Mr. Kalmon will ac>
cept the position is a mystery 10 his
closest friends. He has refused to
stand for reelection as president of
the local league another year His
business interests keep him engrossed
to the extent that he cannot run the
league another year. AS the Sally
pays salary and allows the president
to have several clerks and stenograph-
ers to attend to most of the routine
work, Ike may be prevailed upon to
accept the position.
