arrival Of j. r. Cspablancs, Who was

were ready to engage the brilliant Gu

when writing TO Aristides Martinez,
the president of the Manhattan Chess
Club. from Buenos Ayres he said that
if he could not get away or the Vol
taire ne would sail direct to CUBA.
However. on his arrival in Havana he,
no doubt, will give additional lnforma-
ton about mis- plans for the future.
Ii appears that there was some mis-
understanding regarding Eduard Las
ker's engagement at the Havana Chess
Club. Lasker was ready to sail a week
ago Saturday, but he received word by
cable from Marquee Sterling, the presi-
dent Of the Havana Chess Club. to post
pone his departure for the Cuban me-
tropolis until he should hear from him
by letter.

played by Lasker in the championship
