CHESS LAURELS GO
TO ISAAC KASHDAN
Youthful New Yorker Earns Place
Alongside Marshall in the
International Arena.

OF outstanding importance to the
devotees of chess during 1880 was the
fact that this country developed an
other expert able to take q place along
side Of Frank j. Marshall, United
States champion. in the international
arena. Isaac Kashdan, 25-year- old
champion of the Manhattan Chess
Club, accompanied the United States
team sent to Hamburg by the National
Chess Federation and distinguished
himself in the tournament Of the
international Chess Federation and
subsequently won first prizes in tourna-
ments at Berlin, 0yor and Stockholm
and finished second to Aron Nimzo-
witSch Of Denmark, at Frankfort.
So astonishing was the success of
the young New Yorker that he became
the talk of European chess circles and
was mentioned even as possible con-
tender for the world championship in
the not far distant future. Next year.
under the auspices Of the National
Chess Federation, a United States
championship match between Marshall
and KaShdan is expected to take place.
The world title was not competed
for during the year and was retained

succession by Columbia, with Pennsyl-

At the New London regatta Harvard

Crimson rowing, which was for the

for these Fights. Lightweight rowing
has become extremely popular among
the rowing colleges and attracts a fine
class of competitors whose interest Is
not taken up by other sports. The
Princeton lightweights later went to
England to compete, but were not as
successful on foreign waters.
At the American Henley the Penn
A. c. crew established a new mark

@H HERE was a marked trend for
ward in college rowing during
the past year, a new interest
showing in the number Of I'M
dergraduates participating in the
sport and in the development Of light
weight and freshmen crews. The
years most impressive regatta, the In
tercollegiate Rowing Associations
countrywide event at Poughkeepste,
resulted inla an entirely new deal among
the crews of the country.
For several years the Far Western
crews, especially Washington, held
forth on the Hudson and this reign OF
superiority was followed by the tri-
umphs of Columbia. Last June Cor
Hudson for years under Pop Courtney,
came back into its own and won the

TWO CUE CHAMPS
UNTHRONED IN 1880
Rudolph Cops Greenleaf's Pocket
Billiard Crown and Cochran
Gets Hopes 1871 Title.

Two billiard champions in the pro-
fessional ranks lost their titles during
the year 1890, while there were several
changes in the amateur realm. The
greatest upset might be the overthrow
by Erwin Rudolph of Ralph Greenleaf,
the outstanding favorite in the pocket
billiard tournament recently closed.
After turning in the tournament high
run of 104 and the best game of six
innings, Greenleaf had a tie for the
championship in his hands in the final
game with Rudolph, but he faltered and
finally lost, 125 to 100. AS q consequence
Rudolph went through the tournament
with seven victories and no defeats to
five victories and two setbacks for
Greenleaf, who previously had been
beaten by Frank Taberski, another for
mer champion. The other perennial
champion to fall by the wayside was
Willie Hoppe, who lost his 1871 balkline
crown to Welker Cochran in o pri-
vately arranged match. In the course OF
the weeks play Cochran set cham
pionship high-run record Of 1873, bet
tering Frank Ives mark of 40, which
had stood for nearly 80 years. His grand
average of 80 69-107 bettered by far
any previous championship average, and
for 800 points. These records have been
surpassed in exhibitions, hut not in
matches where the championship was
involved.
The 1872 balkline title, last won by
Jake Schaefer in January, 1929, gath
cred more dust through the second
year without competition.
Early in the year Johnny Layton OF
Sedalia. MO, retained his three-cushion
professional championship, leading a
field of eight. Otto Reiselt Of Philadel-
phia took second place after q play-of
with Allen Hall of St. Louis.
Percy N. Collins Of Chicago won the
national amateur Glass A 1872 balkline
tournament in st. Louis after tie With
Edgar T. Appleby of New York and Ray
v. Fessenden of Madison, Wis.
j. Howard Shoemaker of New York
regained the national amateur pocket
billiard title, replacing Cy Yellin. Joseph
r. Johann was another former cham
pion to come back, regaining the ma
tional Glass B amateur 1872 title. The
Glass 6 amateur title was won by Nelson
B. Mayo. The 14.2 balkline title went
to James Henry, and the national
straight rail championship to Frank
L. Grey.

Fencers representing the United States
Jared well during the year of 1880, de-
feating Canada with ease and triumph
ing over an English team by two bouts.
The international matches were keenly
contested and well attended, the COM
petition with the Canadians being of a
more thrilling nature to fencing enthu-
siasts than the bare results might seem
to indicate.
Lieut. George G. CalnAn, long a
prominent figure in the fencing world
added the national foil championship
to the long list Of honors he won dur
ing the season. Marcel Pasche Of the
Saltus Club captured the epee title,

swordsman, visited the United States
last February and gave two exhibitions
which must be included among the
high points Of the season. Nadi dis
played his proves at the New York

Night Base Ball
Is 1880 Product

\ light base ball made it4 bow to
IN the American public In the sea-
son Of 1880. For the first time
in history, games In organized
leagues were played after sunset
under artificial light. Opinion varied
greatly as to the quality Of the noe
tlrnal sport and as TO the future Of
the night game.
In the minor leagues it found
favor in some sections and was re-
garded with Indifference in others.
The me jor LEAGUES did not care for 1t.
Base ball men now are wondering
whether the future will see the de-
yelopment Of night leagues and day
leagues, and also whether there will
be night records and day records.
Separate night and day playing
records already have been demanded.

 SPEAK AT JUNEAU

JUNEAU, Oct 25, Before one of the largest crowds ever at tending a political meeting here, George E. Grigsby made one of the fines; speeches in his Drcer. Ii was notable for it's wit, humor, sarcasm, reason and arguments and won him and his democratic col legues many votes.
 His arraignment of bureaucratic government and contrasting it with self government was cOnvincingly stated in dignified terms. During the meeting of two hours. not one person left the hall, and many times Grigsby and ThoS Gaffney. candidate for auditor. who divided the speaking honors with him, were forced to suspend their argu- ments to await for the laughter and applause to subside.
 Grigsby declared that For the last twenty years Alaska has been struggling under the handicap of bureaucracy and reserved to death, conserved to death, and embalmed. Our forefathers fought to obtain for themselves and their descen- dants the right of self government. We have inherited from them the love of liberty and the sense of responsibility in the conduct of our affairs
 If elected he promised to intro- duce and work for the passage of a measure to give Alaska the same right as possessed by other terri tories to administer its own af- fairs. including fisheries, game and every other function of government possessed by American territories in the history of the country.
