THIRD CHESS GAME
"A DRAW AT GID MOVE
Shortest Session in History of
Championship Matches Ends
Again Without Victory.

HAVANA, March 2S.--The shortest
session ever held in an international
chess match closed here last night
when DR.. Emanuel Lasker OF Berlin
and Jose r. Capablanca Of Havana
took their places before the board to
finish their third game in the match
for the world championship. Ad-
journment had been taken Monday
night after. the slxty-second move.
Technically, IL was a no-move ses-
sion for the only play made on the
board was the sealed move OF Capa-
blanca, the sixty-thlrd for white.
which was written down at the close
of the previous session and therefore
counts as the last move of that ses-
sion instead Of the first last night.
The Cllban's move proved to be his
knight from queen to king 3. DIR.
LaslNer then said he did not see how
he could break through Capablanca's
position. 1t was Obvious Capablanca
could do no more, and the game was
called a draw, the third draw of the
match, in which thus far there have
been no victories.
The fourth game will be started
tonight.
