.HE checker tourney for the
championship of the District,
which has been in progress at
the Ariznna Hotel since early

Il the Arizona Hotel since early
in June, resulted in o victory for
Harry Koff, q well known player from
Chicago. There were Is entrants and
included the best players in the Dis
trict.
Each pair played four games and
the loss of two matches eliminated
player. There was also enforced what
is known as a two-move restriction
in the choice of openings. At the end
of seven rounds all players had been
eliminated except Koff and H. L.
Rudolph, champion Of East Penn
sylvania. The advantage at that time
was with the unbeaten Rudolph, be-
cause he had defeated Kof by to 0.
In the eighth round, however. Koh
evened the count by scoring two
games to one by Rudolph, one game
being drawn. In the ninth round
the first four games were drawn and
in two additional tilts to decide Kon
won one and drew one.
In the games played between these
two Koff won four, Rudolph three and
eight we're drawn.
PELow is given the score of
~ game played in the recent Mar
gate, England, tournament between
Sammy Reshevsky and Jose r. Capa-
blanca, former world champion. This
game has been the subject of con-
siderable criticism, first because
Sammy outplayed Capablanca and
because of the way he maneuvered.
Capablanca's ninth move Is con-
sidered an advance Of pawn without
SUFFICIENT preparedness. 1t leaves a
weak @ p, on which Reshevsky con-
centrated his efforts.
Kashdan, however, says the move
Is quite in order and Is the logical
follow-up of blacks idea to obtain a
pawn majority on the queens side.
Whites fourteenth move Is the COM
mencement Of the attack on the Q. p.
1t gets rid Of black piece which de-
tends the pawn in exchange for a
piece which does not attack it. This
is followed by maneuvers and ex-
changes, so that by the thirty-fourth
move the advantage Is altogether with
Sammy. In fact, Capablanca offered
a draw on his thirty-fifth turn, which
was refused.
White in turn keeps Blacks queen
from operating on the queens side
and then prevents the rook from hav-
ing an opportunity to attack on the
kings side by advancing K KITS pawn.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
- HICAGO, August 3.-Splashing
through mud and rain, Grand
Slam, 80 to in the wagering,
~ and left at the post, scored
an upset victory today in winning the
fourth running Of the Arlington Fu-
turity, climaxing the 30-day meeting
at Arlington Park.
Twenty thousand spectators wit
messed the sensational triumph Of the
2-year-old son of Chance Play-Jeanne
Bowdre which sprinted the six fur
longs in 1:12.
Grand Slam, owned by Charles
Bohn and Peter A. Markey, Detroit in
dustrialist, actually scored a grand
slam by completely running past the
field of IA Of the best 2-year- -olds in
America.
He defeated Marshall Fields Tint
agel by two and one-half lengths, with
Mrs. Silas B. Mason's Valevictorian
finishing third, three lengths back.
Nedrow was fourth and Deliberator,
the heavily played favorite, fifth.
Cold Stream, another public choice,
was sixth, and White Cockade, owned
by Ogden Phipps of New York, sew
enth. The rest of the field was stag
gering behind in the tough going.
Closing at 80 to l in the wagering,
Grand Slam paid SOS to win, $31 40
to place and s1760 to show. The
place price on Tintagel was $3.50 with
81 to show, and Valevictorian paid
$8.2 0to show.
Grand Slam Earns s45,I35.
WITH Is starters the race has q
gross value of $57,230, $45, 5,135
going to the owner of the winning
thoroughbred. The sum Of $4,000
went to Marshall field as second
place money, with $4,000 going to
Mrs. Mason for Valevictorian's effort
in finishing third. In addition 81 900
went to Thomas c. Worden OF Chi
cago, owner Of Nedrow, as fourth
money.
The start was delayed because Bold
Venture. with T. Malloy on his back,
bolted out of the gate, tossed Malloy
over the fence into the bushes and
ran a mile before he was caught.
After the juveniles finally were lined
up, they bounded out in perfect align
ment, with the exception Of Grand
Slam. which was six lengths back of
the closely punched field
Out popped the favorite, Deliber-
ator, with Tintagel with him. A stride
behind was Cold Stream. Sun Teddy
and Nedrow with Valevictorian right
there, too. At the quarter-mile Grand
Slam was in thirteenth position.
Winner Well PiIoted.
TEARING down the back stretch
Grand Slam, ridden by tiny Jimmy
Bryson, an apprentice, who got his
chance because other jockeys refused
to ride the unruly colt, advanced to
tenth place, and reveling in the 60
ing. was in full stride. He saved
ground at every jump because Bryson
kept him on the rail.
Going into the stretch, Tintagel
forged away to a lead over Deliber-
ator with Nedrow third. and Grand
Slam rushing up on the inside. As
they charged down the stretch, with
mud flying in every direction. Grand
Slam flashed by Deliberator, Nedrow,
and finally Tintagel to win.
John D. Hertz, chairman of the
board of directors of the Arlington
Park Jockey Club, said the meeting
was a financial success, the first in
five years. The racing scene shifts
to Lincoln Fields Monday for the
opening Of 30-day meeting.

ought to put up or shut up. The
men agreed with her. And, after a
time, the women. New Concord
finally stopped prying and specu-
lating. The matter was settled, the
debts were reluctantly paid. James
StimSon had ceased to be Jane
Northrup's husband and became a
Stimson again. His law practice
picked up amazingly.
About this time James heard that
the Northrup twins had got their
discharge and were at home. An
afternoon or two later Nappy came
into James inner Office and closed
and locked the door behind him.
1.-The twins is in the front Office"
Nappy said fearfully. They kotched
me when my back was turned and
walked in big as you please. I told
them you had jest this minute went

manded after a moments thought.
Nappy backed out, muttering
something about the darnedest
foolishneSs he ever hard heered about
and presently ushered the visitors in.
Nappy closed the door rebelliously

James knew very we'll he would re-

his eye to the key hole.
The twins we're looking very At
and brown. They were dressed ex-
actly alike in extremely natty pongee
suits and carried canes. James, coat
less and untidy, remained seated at
his desk facing them. "Well?" he
asked.
We're under orders to knock your
block off," Nate grinned.
II dare say you could do It,"
Consider 1t done." Norris said
airily.
James got up and the three solemnly
shook hands. The twins took of
their coats, sat down, tipped their
chairs back, put their feet COM
panionably on James desk and
lighted cigarettes. A few minutes
later they were all deep in swapping
war yarns.
His brotherS-in-l law carefully re-

as they got up to go James said in
shamefaced way, II wonder II you'd

wanted me to go back to her. You
know as well as I do that Jane
despises me"
The twins exchanged glances. Nate
said, "A woman, dog, a hickory

, thereupon made a hasty exit at the
back and hid in an adjoining and
fortunately empty store room.
After her final unsuccessful call
Mrs. Northrup swallowed her pride
and went to see Miss Sarah Stimson.
She was told by Aunt Lou that Miss
Sarey was not at home. She was at
home, as Mrs. Northrup very well
knew, having seen Miss Sarah at an
upstairs window.
So Mrs. Northrup pretended to
leave, but only went a little way and
presently waylaid Miss Sarah in the
garden.
Miss Sarah was in faded blue per-
Gale and a disreputable sun hat. Mrs.
Northrup was most correctly gowned
in black and white china silk and
a smart black toque. But it was Miss
Sarah who looked the duchess as
she informed her caller haughtily
(the haughtiness was assumed to
cover an almost abject fright and
dismay) that 1t was impossible to
talk to Mrs. Northrup and remain a
lady.
Miss Sarah, with shaking knees,
thereupon walked into the house and
actually slammed the door in her
visitors face. Three days later Mrs.
Northrup met Miss Sarah turning a
lonely corner by the Baptist Church
and cut her dead.
Mrs. Northrup was so pleased with
herself that she first boasted of the
cut direct to Mrs. Church and then,
as Mrs. Church seemed sympathetic,
told verbatim the story OF her call
on Miss Sarah. And how New Con-
cord relished this tidbit!
When James went on living quietly
with his aunt, when it was known
that his clothes and about a quarter
of the wedding presents had been
packed up and sent to the mansion
those who had backed James with
their bets began pressing for pay
ment.
Finally Jane confided to her inti-
mate friends that she and James
had separated for good. Jane said
that her lips were sealed, that she
never meant to explain the cause
OF the separation or say word
against James. She intimated, how
ever, that If she ever broke this
praiseworthy resolution. or James by
some overt act goaded her into telling
the truth. he would be drubbed out
of town.
This last caused for a time a great
deal OF intense speculation. But Miss
Julia Pratt said bluntly that Jane

tree, the more you beat EN- the better
they be-" And Norris growled. I'VE
told you to beat her 10 years
ago"
As they reached the door Norris
said wistfully, I'VE can't know you
In public. It would give the family
conniption fits. We're being taken
into the business and dads already
had a slight stroke. We don't want
to kill him. But If we could slip in
here occasionally II you wouldn't
mind"
"AS often as you please. Ring me
up at any time and I'll arrange to
be alone. No one will see II you slip
in the back entrance. Come along.
I'll show you"
Thereafter on many a late after
noon the twins sneaked in the back
way for more army talk The twins
and James and Nappy believed that
these meetings were shrouded in the
darkest secrecy. Probably every one
in town knew of them, except the
twins immediate family. They re-
manned in ignorance only because
New Concord considered it q good
joke on the Northrups.
The three never again spoke of
Jane or of James domestic difficulties.
James considered the hint the twins
had given as to James state Of mind
