Staten Island Club Entertains
Masters in Sixth Round Of
Their Tourney.

As guests Of the Staten Island Club
at st. George, the chess masters con-
tested the sixth round of their tourna-
ment yesterday afternoon and evening.
After being welcomed by George Quirk,
president Of the club, the contestants
lost no time in getting down TO work,
being paired in the following order:
Chajes vs.. Nicholson, Hodges vs.. Capa.
blanca, Kupchik vs.. Bernstein and Las
ker VS.. Marshall
Capablanca was the last TO finish his
game with Hodges, Of Staten Island,
but when the game was over the Cuban
was found to have established a clear
lead Of half a point over Marshall for
the first time. Hodges was defeated in
a queens pawn opening after forty
three moves, his trouble beginning on
the twenty-fourth move, when re in
cautiously advanced his kings pawn
and lost it in consequence Of a pretty
rejoinder on the part OF Capablanca.
II finally came 20 a difficult ending,
which would have discouraged a less
able player than Capablanca, but the
latter knew full well how TO turn the
position to account.
Marshall, the United States cham
pion, dropped into second place by
virtue of a colorless draw with Lasker
in q Sicilian defence lasting twenty
two moves. Kupchik strengthened his
hold on third place by scoring against
Bernstein in ffty-fve moves.
The state champion adopted the Eng
lish opening, winning a pawn as early
as the ninth move. Later he added two
more pawns to his store, after which
he had it all his own way.
Chajes outplayed Nicholson finely in
a Dutch defence which went to twenty
seven moves. The former castled on
the queens side for the sake of work
ing up a quick attack against the black
king, meanwhile sacrificing a knight.
Nicholson was unable TO withstand the
onslaught.
