While Jose r. Capablanca has long
been acknowledged the leading stimuli

recent tour of this country, held In
Pittsburgh last Thursday evening. al
most passes belief The pan-American
champion played against fifty-two op-
ponents drew one game and won nifty
one, OF course, it is impossible fairly
to compare simultaneous records, as
the strength of the field opposed to the
masters is never equal. but this
achievement by Capablanca stands
alone-there is no record near enough
to it for comparison.
The news of Whitaker's forthcoming
match with Showalter has stirred local
chess circles to their depths. and. incl
dentally. added greatly to the enjoy
ment of the players in the various
Washington chess clubs, as the local
master is furnishing his arms in skittls

gerous hazards to trouble the player.
The eighth is fine hole with novel
green, the ground sloping abruptly on
all sides from the pin, which can be
placed in no other spot than the center
OF the putting space. The ninth hole
is very fine piece of golf architecture,
calling for an extremely accurate mid
iron shot to the sloping green guarded
by the brook Immediately in front.
The in 9, commencing with No. 10
Is degree easier to score low on than
the out half. but here again the play
er must not deviate in the slightest
amount from the straight line, or seri-
Gus difficulty will result 1t is begun
with what probably is the best hole on
the course measuring 35S yards and
possessing no special difficulty, but
out-of-bound stakes to the left seem
to exert peculiar fascination for the
man who possesses that bane of all
golfers, round hook. and it behooves
the player to be straight If he would
obtain a 4, the par of the hole The
eleventh is an ordinary hole in which
the second shot is played to the green
in the hollow. If the ball goes over
the hill it can hardly help being on the
green, as the ground slopes toward the
hole from all sides. The twelfth is one
OF the hardest on the course, as the
fairway Is only about twenty yards
wide and with the creek to the left the
ball to hold the green must be well
iron. but IL the player uses the assist
ance of the hill to the right he ought
to have no trouble in obtaining the
par 3.
Number 13 is a splendid hole of aea
yards, in which again the creek figures
as a warning to the man who plays a
hook. The approach to this hole is
very good and is one of the few on
the course in which the player has
to play for a break off the hills. The

than ordinary caliber with the creek
once more forcing its way into the
yards over this hazard on the narrow
road to the pin.
Very Tricky Hole.
The sixteenth is one of the trickiest
short holes that can be found. The
green is entirely surrounded by sand
bunkers and pitch. deceptively short, as
1t must have some cut on it to hold the
green. 1t was here that Earl Wheeler
had an extraordinary piece of luck. his
ball, wide of the pin, hitting the bank
to the left and finding the bottom of the
cup. The seventeenth is a plain hole of
24S yards and the round is ended with
a splendid two-shotter of 400 yards
with high bank to the right of the
green and the ever-present brook to
the left.
