ANOTHER TOURNEY
BEGINS TOMORROW

to Hold Its Annual
Event.
FEW MASTERS TO PLAY
IN GAMES AT BUFFALO
Meeting Is Not Classic Affair It
Once Was-Taft Performs
Brilliantly.

Tomorrow the annual midsummer
meeting of the New York State Chess
Association will get under way at Buff
falo under the auspices of the Buffalo
Consstory Chess Club. This once clas-
sic event has sadly deteriorated during
the past few years and despite the he
roic efforts of those in charge to In
duce few masters to attend this years
meeting further retrograde move
ment may be expected. Doubtless
many of the New York city masters
would like to attend these state con-
crosses. but the association is not able
to pay their expenses or even furnish
them transportation.
Kostic not being able to raise the
$500 stake demanded by Showalter the
proposed match between these masters
has been called off. The Kentucky ex-
pert, however. seems filled with the
lust of battle and will shortly meet
Janowski in seven games up match

Lasker. Taft played the first three
games entirely on the safety first"
plan, accepting draw in the. third
contest when he was pawn to the
good. and generally giving the impress
sion that he intended to play a wait
ing game in the hope that Perkins
would be goaded into making an un-
sound attack. Having thus persuaded
the champion that he had nothing to
fear beyond his own impetuosity. Taft
in the fourth game suddenly launched
a savage brilliancy, which involved the
sacrifice of a piece for two pawns. COM

BY a. C. BYRD.

Great efforts are being made to build
up the rowing interests of the Potomac C
Boat Club. Old and new members of
the organization alike are co-ordinat-
ing their attempts with those of the Of
fcers to develop winning crews in all
classes of competition Never before
has the club had more men on the
water in actual practice for any
specific event and it has been many
year since indications for success were
so bright.
There is one man who holds the in
terests of the Potomac Boat Club dear
er than anything else of similar
character-Claude r. Zappone-and to
him should always go most of the
credit for its showing. He has worked
incessantiy to keep the organization
in the forefront. and many times has
succeeded far beyond expectations,
even while laboring under the most try
ing and discouraging conditions. w nat
ever has been done in the past by the
Potomac Boat Club, whatever may be
done in the future, the man mentioned
may be considered as the backbone of
the movement. He has fostered and
aged movements to raise money,
coached crews been instrumental in
obtaining good coaches and is one OF
the biggest factors in getting men out
and keeping them out at practice. If
there is one man who can be singled
out as responsible for the successful
activities of any organization, he Is

Obtain Capable Coach.

When the determination was reached
at its meeting last spring to make
herculean efforts to build up rowing
to a plane commensurate with the i'm
portance of the biggest aquatic organi-
ration in the National Capital. the club
went a long way toward insuring sue
cess when it decided to obtain the serv
ices of Clarence Hecox coach. if pos
sible HecoX had about made up his
mind last year, at the end of his season
with the Analostan Club. to discontinue
his connection with the sport, but row.
ing has about the same hold on him
that other sports get on coaches at
times. and it was not a difficult matter
to convince him that it would only add
to his enjoyment If he took charge OF
the Red and White crews.
Hecox's coaching methods are different
In many ways from those of others,
but there is no douot about his ability
to get results. That has been shown
for the last three years in his handling
of the Analostan oarSmen. In practice
there is nothing done so well for 'Hix,' y
as he is familiarly called. but that II
could and ought to have been done bet
ter And yet he never "bawls out a
man for a mistake in a race. TWO
years ago one of Hecox's coxswains
made a deplorable blunder. which prac-
tically cost race. something which
would have called forth vitriolic COM
ment from many coaches. yet the man
now teaching the Red and White oars
men said little except to point out the
mistake Hecox is well liked by all
the men who work under him, and he
will make the best of the material for
