Splendid Matches Expected in
Closing Rounds of Rice .
Memorial Tourney. )
FOUR FOREIGN PLAYERS
\ AGAINST ONE AMERICAN
Capablanca. Janowski and Kostic to
Pit Their Strength Against
Kupchick.

The final stage of the Rice memorial
tournament. in which the four lead
ers will battle for the disposition of the
first four prizes. finds the three foreign
entries. Capablanca. Janowski and
Kostic pitted against one lone Ameri-
can. Kupchick. However. as only a
point and a half separates second from
eighth place the showing of the native
masters is far from dsgraceful.
A w. Fox, Washingtons representa-
tive in this great event, finished in a
tie with Bernstein for seventh and
eighth places, and it is not too much to
say that he would have easily qualified
for the final round had he been able to
strike his top form from the outset of
the play. Mr.. Fox had engaged in no
really serious chess for matter Of ten
years, and before he could settle down
to the hard work required against
such strong field he had lost to Per-
kins and Schroeder in the first two
rounds From that point his game fight
to overcome this heavy handicap was
one of the features of the tournament:
against the four leaders he scored two
and a half points won against one and
half lost. Capabl goes into the
final rounds with q lead of three and a
half points. SO he can lose every re-
naming game and still take first prize.
However, the fight for second money
:hould be a battle royal, as Janowski,
.ostic and kupcnick are all tied with
.;ht and a half games won to four and
half lost.

faults that crop out to the big league

expects the player to do all the things
that the star he has been contrasted with
can do. The average player reads all the
nice things that have been written about
him. He comes to realize what the fans
must be expecting of him. The thought
is always with him. and it works to his
detriment. Instead of playing natural he

poor debut often makes the fans
decide the owner has picked another
lemon. Let two recruits come to the
majors of equal playing ability, let one
be highly touted, and nothing said of the
other. If the highly touted player strikes
out the public laughs and says he looks
more like 80 cents than ten thousand.
If the other youngster, who has been
kept in the background. strikes out, the
fans excuse him because he is a poor

he stands up and swings. and hold out
hope that he will come through with a

Answer by Johnny Evers.

The writer asked Johnny EverS. cap
tain of the Boston Braves, to tell him
what the figures showing the number
revealed. The Trojan refrained from
answering the question fully. because,
he says, if he did SO he would step on
some ones toes. He does say, however,
that the two best baSe-running man
ayers are Stallings and McGraw. Here
are his views on the subject:
About the runners being thrown out
trying to steal. there are many and
varied reasons for the same. In most
cases the records smack of Individual
ism. and that applies in some cases to
both the batsman and base runner,
put a runner in bad, without lead.
Some look for records and in SO doing
hurt their clubs. Observing, as L do,
the different methods used by some
clubs and the different attempts at
stealing by some players, it makes me
attempt steal without sign. In this
respect Stallings is a great manager,
for he never tries to run the bases for
his men. only when first and third are
occupied and he wants n double steal
attempted. The same is true of Nc
Graw. Look how successful both are"
Artie Holman of the Pirates, back in
1918, was caught trying to steal three
times in one game, and so was Walter
Meanwhile of the Braves that same
season. Since then no athlete in the
National has been tagged thrice in the

stances of base runners twice being
