Draw-Jokel Wins Fine
Game from Cohen.

The sixteenth annual tournament OF
the Triangular College Chess League,
tho fourth and last round of which
was contested at the rooms of the
Manhattan Chess Club yesterday
morning and afternoon, resulted IN
a tie for the championship between
Cornell and Pennsylvania. The tie
also holds as regards the fourth Rice
intercollegiate chess trophy placed IN
competition by Professor Isaac l..
Rice. president of the league.
The two rival universities which
monopolized the scoring and left
Brown out in the cold came to the
final round on exactly even terms,
although the pairing slightly favored
Cornell. As before, Brown, whose
players evidently believed thoroughly
in the doctrine of non-reslstanee'
placed no obstacle in the way OF their
victorious opponents, so that the real
tussle came at the two boards where
the Quakers and Ithacans came lace
TO face.
Both of these games were drawn,
causing a deadlock. Most of the play
ers Immediately left town, and no ar
engagements were made to play off the
tie. Accordingly, the Rice trophy will
spend six months in Philadelphia and
the other six in Ithaca. The members
of the successful teams were:
Cornell-N. S. Perkins, c. f., 10; W.
f. Grafman, c. T., rs; J. Grossmau,
Ag., 'l6. and J. Jokel, Ag, 'l6.
Pennsylvania-H. Kline, Vet. 'l7;
Y. Wnkelman. Law, II; j. Davis, Law,
'16. and +. II. Bart. Oh. F., 10.
Pennsylvania jumped into the lead
at the start through Kline's victory
over Lucas, Of Brown, by default. In
addition TO this game, Pennsylvania
notched the first actual victory of the
round at board No. Here Davis, No.
8 on the Quaker team, completed his
schedule with clean slate Of four
straight wins. His opponent was Lee
vine, No. in the Brown lineup, who
was outclassed. The Providence
player followed an inferior defence
in the Ruy Lopez and, with Davis
merciless in the attack, suecumbed
after sixteen moves.
The two points thus scored sent
Pennsylvania into the lead with total
of II to as against CornelPs 9 20 3.
The most important game, that be-
tween Winkelman, Of Pennsylvania,
and Perkins, of Cornell, at the top
board, was opened by the former with
a Ruy Lopez. Perkins, soon after the
opening, was left behind by losing a
piece through a blunder. Thereupon
he set 20 work TO overcome the dis
advantage and established a fine at
tack. In this he succeeded so well
that he forced draw by perpetual
check after twenty-four moves.
Grafman, of Brooklyn, played against
a French Defence by Palmer, Brown,
who. following an inferior variation,
lost q piece on the fourteenth move,
and resigned eleven moves later An
evenly fought game between Barth.
Of Pennsylvania, and Grossman, Of
Cornell, was continued up % forty
seven moves, when draw was agreed
upon.
At the next board, Jokel, Of Cornell,
disposed of Cohen, of Brown. in a
French Defence, adopted by the latter
after fifty moves The game was
eyentful, as Jokel first won on an ex-
change. Then he lost a rock through
an oversight, and had 10 win with
three passed pawns against a bishop.
