NEW$YORK, March Pardon
able national pride was rampant in
the city's American quarter today
when word got around that the
United States checkers team, after
the first days play against a dozen
British stars, was leading, nine
games to one. with thirty-eight
games drawn.
There will be "only" 52S more
games before the matches end on
March ~.
Outstanding among the initial vic
tories were three triumphs scored
by Sam Gonotsky, obviously a
Brooklyn American, over Sam Co.
hen, just as patiently London
Englishman.
Cohen came to this country with
the reputation of having conquered
all the better players in that empire
on which the sun never sets. But
Gonetsky was too fast for him. On
the very first game the Brooklyn
man advanced on an original line of
play from the second double corner
opening and Cohen was gasping at
the bell.
The English and Scotch players,
out of courtesy, were given pernla-
nent seats in the hotel grillroom,
IL.
The Americans will rotate daily un-
til each has played four games with
every British contestant. Under
that procedure it will be unneces-
sary for any of the invading team
to get any exercise whatever during
the tournament. And after watch
ing one day Of play 1t is safe bet
at odds that none will violate his
privilege.
