Ten Leading Horses
On Turf During 1922
Jose r. CapabIanca
Retains His Title as
Chess Champion

The revival OF international tourna.
ment play marked the year 1922 among
the followers of the royal game Of
chess. Chief Of the big congresses
abroad the London Tournament Of the
British Chess Federation attracted the
entry OF Jose Raul CapAblanea Of Ha.
yana, who won the worlds champion
ship from DR.. Emanuel LAsker In 1921.
The great Cuban master placed yet an
other hrst prize 20 his credit and with
out losing a single game. Alexander
Aljeehin, Of Russia, was placed second,
and he, too, did not lose a game. He,
however, drew three more than did
Capablanca.
Tho next two meetings Of the mas
terra were both in Czeeho-SlovAkiA, the
first az Pistyan and the second at Tep-
litz-Sehoenau. L. ID. Bogoljubow, Of
Ukrainia, was the winner at PistyAn,
in which Aljeehin and Spielmann di.
yided n second and third prizes. At
Teplitz Sehoenau, Richard Reti, Of
czeeho- -slovakia, and Rudolf Spielmann,
Of Austria, tied for first place and d.
yided the two chief prizes. In Novem.

tablished the record OF winning four

came into his own again. DR.. s. Tarta-
kower, Of Ukrainia, won second prize.
international chess was played be-
tween New York and Buenos Ayres
by means Of the cable, which enabled
the Manhattan Chess Club and the
Argentine Chess Club 70 exchange
moves for an entire day In April be-
tween teams Of six players on each
side, Three games were played 20 a
conclusion and the three that were
unfinished we're submitted 10 Capa-
blanca for adjudication. The result
was victory for New York BY a
score Of 3h-2h. On the whole. chess
has been doing It's full share toward
re-establishing international comfy be-

Greatest Of the speed performances
was that Of Peter Manning. which
trotter by grace Of his mile In i:56%
at Lexington, became the undisputed
champion OF all times. Peter Manning
is a wonder horse. From the day his
trial mile around 2:06 induced Irwin
W. Gleason, Of Williamsport, Pa, to
pay long price FOR him he has been
living up 10 expectations. Finally
came the erowning effort OF his turf
career, and the manner in which be
negotiated that mile backs the belief
that he will do even better in 1928.
Second among stellar performances
by trotters was the record Of l;b8H,
which gives Media the championship
among mares, a better mile than the
best effort Of the great Lou Dillon.
Bred at Mamaroneck, In the shadows
Of the Metropolis, this trim piece Of
equine machinery gives 20 W. B. Dick
erman, Of New York, the satisfaction
Of having reached the goal Of the
breeder.
Equals Pacing Record
The fastest fight among the PAGERS
was that Of Margaret Dillon when she
registered a mile in l;6sh, equalling
the record for mares. In the early
season this splendid PAGER had 70 race
in two minutes or better whenever she
hooked up with Sir Roche. which took
a mark Of i:58& and doubtless will
improve upon that in 1928, as com
paratiyely little use was made Of him
up 70 this year.
Other fast performances there we're
many, some just on the edge Of
records. One outstanding feature Of
the year was the hard racing that
marked the campaign from spring
until fall. The battle for money win
ming honors was not decided until ths
last mile track meeting at which Car
Worthy won two stakes, bringing his
total to S22,600 and just beating out
Lee Worthy. which won s22,e70. High
spots in Gar Worthy's campaign were
his victories In the Empire City Stake
as Syracuse. the Massachusetts, at
Readville, the S. and S. and Buckeye
al Columbus, the Ashland at LexinR-
ton and the Illinois and Kentucky at
Dads Park.
Lee Worthy, 2;osh, one Of the great
est three-year-olds In history, has the
honor Of winning the three big eyen-s
the Champion Stallion, Matron and
the Kentucky Futurity. The only thing
which kept him away from top honors
was the fact that he was without an
engagement during almost two months
In mid-season.
Third among the money winners was
Peter the Brewer, which won the
T7nEylvania. a record OF 2:O2k. max
Ing him the fastest Of the eoterie Of
clever stake horses. The Great V9lo.

Windy City Claims
Much Skating Fame
In Season of 1922

Geographically speaking, the Ice
skating championship titles we're spread
oil along the northern borders Of the
United States during the 1922 competi-
tive season. The four big meets Of the
year drew thousands Of spectators and
the largest field Of entries that the
sport has known. Four different ANA
teur skaters won the chief hono1 in
the quartet Of championship meets,
showing how keen the competition is
getting in covering a given distance
over the lee on Tubular skates.
The first OF the big events was the
Canadian national championships held
at Sc. John, N. B., January IS and 10.
New York had It's first and last chance
to gloat over big skating event dur
ing the last season when Joe Moore
SkAted of with the Canadian title from
a field that contained all the recognized
Spsedsters Of the country. Charlie
Jewtraw finished in second place. with
Roy MeWhirter third and Billy Stein
metz fourth.
A week later, In the national cham
pionships at plattsburgh, the decision
was reversed. Roy MeWhirter cap
tured the national title and took II
home TO Chicago with him. Again
JewtrAw finished second. with Dick
Donovan, OF ST. Paul, in third position.
Moving on 70 Saranac Steinmetz scored
the second victory for Chicago by cap
/ turing the international championship
on February 2. with JewtTGW still Oc-
eupying the second position ss per
schedule Charles German, Of New
Brunswick, was third and Joe Moore
I fourth.
The great contest for the Diamond
Y Trophy at Lake Placid was won by
steinmetz after the closest kind Of
competition. The Chicago skater had
/ a total Of 40 points 20 1i5 for Jew
I traw. There was q technical dispute
over the total, as Jewtraw had q
chance 20 equal the total Of Steinmetz
/ II he had known earlier in the tourna-
ment that ne needed the Ave points.
/ The Lake Placid boy tied for third
place In one event and instead Of skat-
] ing Il OF he split the 10 points. * he
/ had won she skate-of he woud have
tied with SteinmetI.
Thus Chicago earned most Of the
glory In the ice skating championships
Of 1922. and as a reward the Windy
City has been awarded the national
championship meet for 1923, which will
be skated within a few weeks. Ne
Whirter and steinmetz brought three
Of the "Big -Four" titles 20 that city,
snd New York had 20 be content with
the Cansdian title captured BY Joe
Moore. and the national indoor cham
pionship won by that same lad in
Cleveland at the fhg end Of the sea-
son.

season were held at Saranae. February

sport were recoroed.
From an international angle the
United States more than held it's own.
There was no English invasion. as In
1921, when both the oIford-Cambridge
and French athletes came over 20 meet
defeat, but an American team repre-
senting the University Of Pennsylvania
went to London. where II was beaten
in a fourmils relay race By Cam
bridge.
This constitutes the only intsrna-
tional clash, and although the Brltons
scored a vsll-deserved Victory, II can
in no sense be taken as an indication
Of their superiority, FOR the four from
Penn were not representative Of the
strength which could have been COM
mAnded had tho meet been any but q
struggle between individual colleges.
Aside from Larry Brown. who made
the fastest time Of any athlete In the
London race, Penn had no stars. In
fact the second best runner, Elmer
MeLans. has repeatedly been beaten IN
open intercollegiate events.
Two New World Records
To Offset ths Cambridge victory,
which was won In The slow time Of IS
minutes 7a-5 seconds, a Penn relay
team, composed OF slightly different
runners, brought back 70 America the
two-mile worlds relay record, which
was established here In 1920 by the
combined 0Xford-Cambridge team.
This brilliant race was run at the
Penn Relay Carnival last April, only
three weeks following the meet in Lon.
don. Brown, Meredith. Holden and Ne
Mullen were the heroes on this oc-
easlon, covering two miles In the new
time Of 7;t9 2-6, as against 1850 2.B for
the British team in 1920. Brown ran
the last half mile In the amazing time
OF 1:b4, overcoming a lead OF nearly
sixty yards, and II was due 20 his great
work that the worlds record was
brought back 10 America
This mark and the 1000 meter run
record made here last February By
Joie Ray, Of the Illinois A. c., are the
only two worlds records accepted by
the Amateur Athletic Union. others be-
ing listed as noteworthy performances
because the distances are not reeoR-
nized In the standard Of the A. A. u.
However. Ray actually established
records for the mile and a quarter and

Il would appear that the Chicago taxi
driver is entitled 10 the laurel leaf
as the outstanding figure In track and

Paddock Stripped Of Honors
The passing Of Charlie Paddock, Of
the Los Angeles A. c., as national
sprint champion was also one Of the
big surprises. Paddock By bis refusal 70
