The British Chess Magazine for July
has an account of the matches be-
tween La Bourdonnais and MacDon-
nell, played in 1834-100 years ago.
The Frenchman had been making q
clean sweep of those whom he opposed
and it was thought Mcdonnell, the
Britisher who had just come to the
fore, would stand no show against
him. They played six matches,
La Bourdonnais winning four and
mcdonnell two. The matches varied
in length from 9 to Is games, IS
games in all. The total results of the
games were As wins for La Bour-
donnais, 27 for mcdonnell and 13
draws. George Walker, the noted
chess writer, who heretofore had
awarded the premier place to Philidor,
said Of these matches: IT unhesitat-
ingly pronounce the La Bourdonnais-
Mcdonnell matches to be the finest
series Of games actually played on
record"
Here is the score of game so in the
matches between La Bourdonnais and
Mcdonnell. Even in Morphy's day 1t
was known as "the immortal fiftieth
game" according to Napier in his
Amenities and Background of Chess
Play" Morphy recommended the

n In release from the ONCE

Navy's grid strength is given as fol-
lows:
An entirely new lineup In the
coaching staff. This stafI composed
almost entirely of young officers whose
sum total of coaching experience Is
on a par with any representative
American college.
A new system Of foot ball that has
proved its worth in many previous
games. Navy will make every effort
to feature kicking, passing, deception
and fast foot ball.
Average f1rst-string material with
limited supply of reserves with
which to begin the season-good punt
ers. rather inexperienced ends,
scarcity of good forward passers, but
enough key men to develop good
running attack in conjunctin with air
attacks.
A schedule recognized as one of
the hardest facing any team in the
Nation.
Urgent need Of a heady field gen.
eral. Upon this factor the coaches
are centering unusual early-season
attention.
1t is made emphatic that Navy
has every confidence that Lieut.. Tom
Hamilton, the new head coach, will
come through with colors flying.

developed into an astounding series
of postponements.
Timidly, Promoter Jacobs an
nounces it will be held tonight-15
rounds in Madison Square Garden
Bowl-but what the customers want
to know is whether Mike has been
able to do anything with the weather.
Chronologically, rain forced a post
ponement on September 6. Again on
September 7 and for the third time
on September 8. In desperation,
Jacobs decided to give the skies a full
week in which to clear, and reset the
bout for last Saturday. 1t was a poor
guess, for Saturday turned out to be
as damp and disagreeable day as
ever trked fight promoters heart.
VERNIGHT weather reports were
I not entirely reassuring, but
there was a straw to which the
promoter could cling. Early morn
ing showers were predicted, with a
definite clearing up later in the day.
Both Ross and McLarnin have
taken the long series of delays phil
osophically, but whether either will
be at his best now is open to ques-
ton. McLarnin worked out for a
short time in a local gymnasium yes
terday, but Ross was in seclusion. II

before an audience composed exclu-
sively of his managers and trainers.
The fighters were to weigh in at

perts guess, would tip the scales at
very close to the class limit OF lat
pounds and Ross somewhere around
