In CHESS CIRCLES
BY FRANK. B. WALKER

y AMUEL RESHEVSKY won first
place in the Jubilee Con-
gress Of the New York State
- Chess Association, held at
Syracuse last month, without
the loss of a single game. Actually
he won 10 games and drew 4.
Previously at Chicago he tied Reuben
Fine for first place in the annual
tournament of the Western Chess As
sociation.
At Chicago Reshevsky defeated
Isaac KaShdan in the qualifying
round and drew with him in the final
and at Syracuse the game between
them resulted in q draw. Kashdan's
showing at Chicago was unsatisfac-
tory, and at Syracuse he was game
and half behind Reshevsky. He is
matched to play Frank J. Marshall
for the United States title; but the
stakes, 5000, are not forthcoming.
THE results of these tournaments
bring Reshevsky up to the top
among United States players.
He is only ~ years of age. Twelve
years ago he toured the country,
giving exhibitions Of simultaneous
play. His vocation is accountancy,
but he will be heard from in the
chess field. Undoubtedly it will not
be long before his friends will want
to see him matched for the United
States title.
E. B. Adams of Brooklyn and
Robert Levison of New York City
tied for the title of State champion
at the tournament held at Syracuse.
Most of the strong players were en-
gagged in the masters International
Announcement Is made that an in
ternational masters tournament is
to be held in Mexico City early In
December.

~ OG SHOWS are given for
various reasons. Sometimes
they are sponsored by a
group of business men purely
as q money-making PROPOSE
ton. This is often the case when
they are given by a State or county
fair association. Sometimes they are
sponsored by group of dog fanciers
and breeders whose main object is to
promote interest in thoroughbred dogs
of one or more breeds. Speciality
shows and the better known of the
large fixtures, such as Westminster
and Morris and Essex, belong to this
category. A third group Of shows,
while promoted by kennel clubs and
dog fanciers, is put on for the benefit
Of some local charity. The Maryland
Kennel Club show and the National
Capital show belong to this group.
TTAGERSTOWN Graves to add still
l. i new wrinkle to this show
business. 1t desires to have
dog show for the benefit of the Queens
Daughters Hospital-but it is being
promoted by the Izaak Walton League.
1t will be very interesting to see a
dog show given by bunch of fisher
men. And can think Of worse tro-
phies for best Of breed than q nice
mess of brook trout. Instead of rib
bons they might give variety of fish,
nicely graded for the various classes
Sardines, I suppose, would serve as a
substitute for the white ribbon.
The Rockville Kennel Club again
gives evidence of being alive. It is
now agitating for @ show Immediately
preceding the Baltimore show. If
they pull that off, and If the Hagers-
town show can be managed for the
same week, there would be nice
little circuit with a chance for cham
pionship points in several breeds.
Undoubtedly q good many exhibitors
from Pennsylvania and points North
would attend the smaller shows in
conjunction with the Baltimore show,
but not Otherwise.

equipment several months ago and re-
linquished her amateur standing. She
never has shown her symmetrical golf
swing and her astonishing wallops

a S OUTLINED by Woodmont offi-
~ cials, the appearance of Miss
Hicks will feature the clubs an
nual field day and the exhibition will
be open free Of charge to all WASH
ington golfers.
One of the longest hitters in the
world of women's golf, Miss Hicks also
is strong iron player. Before her
retirement from amateur competition
she was one of the big four" of Amer
ican women's golf, the other three
being Virginia Van Vie, the present
national champion; Glenna Collett
Ware and Maureen Orcutt. Mrs. Ware

No Congressional Tourney.
THERE will be no invitation tour
ney staged at Congressional
Country Club this year, and the

1885. These decisions have been ar
rived at by the club Golf Committee,
headed by T. S. Grape.
Supplied with details of the recent
P. G. A. tourney at Buffalo, Congress
sional Club has decided to pass up O
bid for the tourney for 1885 for va
rious reasons, among them the ex-
penSe and the fact that the course
would be closed to play by the club
membership for two weeks.
Although the club asked for dates
for an invitation tourney late in Oc-
tober, the proposed event will not be
held.
The womenS club championship
will start on October ~ with an
18-hole qualification round, to be fol-
lowed by four match-play rounds.
