taneous Matches at Washing I
ton C. and W. Club. !

Tomorrow afternoon, at 3 o'clock, IN
the rooms of the Brooklyn Chess Club.
the opening moves will be made in the
first and foremost master chess event
of the year 1916, the Rice memorial
masters tournament. An added inter
est in this great tournament VIII be
given to local chess fans, and particu-
larly to members of the Washington
Chess and Whist Club, from the fact
that two of their number were invited
to participate in this event, Mr.. Whit
aker and Mr.. Fox, and that OF these
two one. A. W. Fox. will be on hand
when the clocks begin to tick. While
Mr.. Fox has been out of active chess
for some years, he was at one time &C.
knowledged second only to Marshall
among American masters, defeating, in
the celebrated Cambridge Springs tour
nament of 1904, such world-famous ex-
perts as Schlechter. Janowski, Teich-
mann and Tschigorin, winning, about
the same year. the championships of
both the Manhattan and Brooklyn chess
clubs, and defeating Joiner and Mieses
in match play. Nor will he go to New
York completely out of form, rs he has
been brushing up on the openings for
some time past, besides getting In some
very valuable practice with Mr.. Whit
aker. Washington chess players may
rest assured that, doughty as are his
adversaries, their knight will bear him
self in these jousts not without honor
The field will be composed as follows:
j. X. Capablanca Of Havana, d. ia
nowski of Paris, B. Kostic, late of Buenos
Aires; ]. Bernstein of New York, N. W
Banks of Detroit. Q. Chajes of New
a NV pf Chi
New York experts, A. B. Hodges. A.

A. Schroeder and i. Tenenwurzel.
Playing with an accuracy and randi
ity, the like of which has never been
surpassed in this city. not even by the
great Capablanca, Norman T. Whitaker
last evening made a clean score of
hibition before the Washington Chess
and Whist Club. Never was the local
master, noted for his brilliancy. In
better form, and his opponents, for the
most part, were hopelessly beaten be-
fore they could emerge from the OPEN
ing. One. strong player, was mated
in eight moves, another lost his queen
In ten moves and none came to any
thing approximating an even end game
Altogether it was an exhibition of sur
passing brilliancy, and one which the
many spectators, as well as the play
ers, will long remember.
The entrance of chess weekly,
styled the Chess News. into the field of
American chess literature is noted with
pleasure. This neatly arranged and
newsy little pamphlet is published by
the New England Chess Company of
Boston and edited by the we'll known
master. George H. Walcott. John r

ment.

An American Marvel.

One OF the most pronounced instances
of supremacy with one club is that Of
Jesse Guilford. the New Hampshire
player. Although a good golfer, he was
hardly known beyond the borders of
his native state until the amateur
championship at Ekwanok. Here.
within a few days. he was one of the
sensations of the tournament, and
largely through the terrific distance he
was able to get with his driver.
Guilford is a powerfully built young
fellow. weighing about 100 pounds. but
he was figured as young country boy.
who knew little about the game. But
those looking for an easy match were
given another guess when they saw
him hit few from the tee. Using a
swing that came back to his left heel.
and crashing IN with a fne timing and
terrific force, Cuilford was from hf-
teen to thirty yards farther than Kirk

the longest hitters in the game. Ouimet

within twenty-five yards of Guilford
On one occasion, when Guilford hit one

the distance of the carry alone was
measured and found to be 312 yards
A carry of 200 yards or 22o yards Is
supposed to be long one.

ponent was using q drive and full
tassie, Guilford was easily home with

Great strike-out Record.

A resume of those figures gives one
some idea of what wonderful pitching
Danforth was doing at the close of the
season. In fourteen games IN which
he took part in the last six weeks of
the season he struck out 1876 men in
ninety-five innings of play, which av-
erages nearly one and one-half strike
outs per inning. In the last four full
games in which he officiated his strike
out record was ten, fifteen, eighteen
and sixteen per game.

ply by fine timing, great physical
strength and an overswing that few
golfers could control. If. the average
good player swung at a eEof ball as
Guilford does he would be lucky to get
two shots in ten anywhere near the
center of the course. Guilford's swing
is absolutely free, without cultivated
touch.
The Star Travis Shot.
Walter j. Travis, the American vet
eran. always has been an accurate
player. And yet but for one club he
has lacked the distance. both with
wood and iron, to reach championship
heights This one club that has saved
Travis is the putter, and especially
when he uses it for an approach putt
don't believe any other man that ever
played has laid as many long approach
puts dead to the hole. This applies
not only on the green, but off the green,
where most golfers would use a jigger,
mid-iron or a mashie. But If the sur
face is fairl. smooth Travis is sure TO
reach for his putter, although I'VE or
ten yards from the edge of the green,
and The is almost as sure to place the
ball within easy putting distance, II he
doesn't lay it absolutely dead.
1t was with this shot, in the main,
that Travis won the British amateur
champioa ship, although in place of lay
ing these long approaches dead he was
holing big share of them. going down
in one from distances where Black
well, his opponent, was fighting to get
down in two. 1t is almost uncanny to
watch Travis on putt thirty feet
away and see how close to the cup his
shot invariably stops, leaving him
practically nothing to do on his next
shot, which often is the most nerve
racking of them all-the puts of three
and four feet.
