Reshevsky Visits Washington.
TT ISN'T often that local chess fans
have the opportunity Of meeting
over-the-board a chess marvel of
4 the sterling caliber that goes to
make up the genius OF truly great
grandmasters-but at the Samuel Re-
shevsky simultaneous exhibition at
the Jewish Community Center last
evening, Washington lovers of the
royal game" not only were privileged
to encounter the successor to United
States Champion Frank j. Marshall,
but also to give him one of the hearth
est welcomes accorded q visiting
master.
Sammy has travelled extensively In
this country and abroad. When a mere
child he astounded the leading mas
tiers Of the day by defeating them in
simultaneous play.
He was heralded and ac-
claimed throughout America as
the hoy wizard" the hoy
wonder" and critics, lavish in
their praise of his chess ex-
ploits, bestowed upon him the
superlative compliment desired
by all chess stars-"another
Paul Morphy."
Fame sometimes bends the "twig,"
and 10, the tree is warped for life
But not Sammy. After garnering
me nv rhecS la1Irele he drnppad o,,t NJ
sight and the world soon turned to
other idols. Sammy went to Chicago
University and acquired a business
education. It was the common sense
thing to do and he did it. He wanted
a well-balanced life and, wisely, he
laid a solid foundation for it during
those years when youth should pre-
pare himself earnestly for the most
exacting struggle of all-the survival
of the fittest. And so the chess world
heard no more of Sammy and Caissa
until the Summer of 1881.

Kennedy, De Shong Shine.

VERNON KENNEDY of the White
Sox and Jimmy De Shong of the
Grifmen were two pitchers who at
tanned stardom for the first time last
year, and while generally regarded
as youngsters, neither is fully en-
titled to such an unqualified rating.
True, Kennedy was only 81 during
the season and De Shong was 26,
but both have been up and down the
ladder several times. The AS, for
instance, cast both Of them loose
a few years ago.
Kennedy topped the league
with FL wins as against nine
losses, while De Shong finished
with Is victories and 10 de-
feats.
Yves Ferrell has been a star pitcher
since he broke into the league while
in his early 20s, but while the tenn
permental Red Sox twirler won 20
and lost Is he has graduated from
his early 20s and will be 20 come
his next birthday. So will Fritz
Ostermueller, who won 10 and lost
16; John Cain of Chicago, with 14-10,
and Oral Hildebrand Of Cleveland,
10-11.
When the bugle sounds for mo-
bilization again in February and train
ing trips Southwark start, a new
brigade of youngsters, headed by
cleveland's Bob Feller, will make their
bids. But more than offsetting these
young men will be q flock of minor
league veterans who have been bought,
drafted or traded for by anxious big
league club owners.
The trend undeniably is toward old
er hurlers these days.

At the thirty-second annual tourna-
ment of the Western Chess Association,
now the American Chess Federation
Americas most distinguished national
federation - Reshevsky turned again
to his first love to emerge with the
1881 crown of the Western. Winning
| this title led to participation in the
Pasadena masters tournament in
1882, where he shared third and
fourth place honors.
At Syracuse, in 1885, he triumphed
taking first place from host of cele-
brated players invited to that congress
by the New York State Chess Associa-
ton. Later in the year he crossed the
Atlantic to win the Margate interna-
tional masters tournament, 7I5-9
During the same season he was vic
torious in the Yarmouth major open
tourney.
ExceIs in n. C. F. Congress.
During the Winter of 1885 the Ma
tional Chess Federation induced Frank
j. Marshall, who had reigned as chess
champion of the United States for a
quarter century and who was anxious
to retire from the professional arena,
to place his title in the hands of the
federation.
1t was a coup d. etat for the
n. C. F. Incorporated in 1926,
the National Chess Federation,
U. S. A., by circuitous means OBJ
tanned recognition from the
nascent International Chess
Federation, with central head
quarters at The Hague, as the
official American unit Of the
international body, thus dis
placing the Western of its right
full place in the sun.
Since 1926 the N. c. F. has done
little to better the chess situation in
the United States, and gradually
many Of its original members lost in
terest and turned elsewhere for guild
ance in national activities.
For several years the N. c. F. did a
tremendous amount of putting" but
to no avail. The younger generation
of players resented the czarism Of the
Illinois corporation and affiliated with
the Western Chess Association, found

WI records will tell many strange
4 4 stories OF the 1886 major
league diamond campaigns, come re-
lease time, but none is likely to be any
more surprising than the honor roll
of American League hurlers, who won
10 or more ball games.
More pronounced than ever, the
pendulum of pitching supremacy
swung to veterans, and although
club owners have been witnessing a
general decline in the effectiveness of
young hurlers in the last few years.
the list should come as something of
a shock. Twenty-six pitchers won
10 or more games, and of this group
only three were as youthful as Is
years old. None was under that age,
and the great majority, including
Vernon Kennedy, Yves Terrell and
Tommy Bridges, ranged from 81 to 80.
One Of three 25-year-oId
pitching stars was Monte Mar.
cellus Pearson, the highly sue.
cessful fugitive from Cleveland.
Hurting for the Yankees, Pearson,
who will be rs during the next sea-
son, won 10 games and lost only seven
for his greatest record. Johnny
Broaca, also pitching for the world
champion Yanks. won IL games and
dropped seven. He, too, was only Is
during the playing season.
The third baby" of the leagues
better pitchers was Eden Auker of
the Tigers, and not only did he turn
rs before the season closed, but his
mark fell below the 500 mark. The
underhand slabber won 10 games
while losing 16.
Al Thomas Surprises.
PITCHERS nearing the 40-year-old
mark outnumbered the 10-game
winners in their early 20s. AL Thomas,
OF the Browns, a cast-off from WASH
ington, was the oldster of the league.
The 37-year-old Tommy turned in
the surprisingly good record Of II
victories as against nine defeats for
the lowly st. Louis outfit.
Earl Whitehill of the Nationals, who
will be 81 in February, Is another of
the elderly boys to move into the Sc
lect group. -
Earl finished with IA wins as
against IL defeats. Last year
was his fifteenth season in the
big show.
Ted Lyons Of the White Sox, who
will be 81 next month. won 10 and
dropped 10.
Lefty Grove, who was SO during the
season, grabbed II decisions and lost
IL. Thirty three-year old Elon Hog
sett OF the Browns won Is and lost Is.
Malone Also Successful Vet.
by AND large, the most successful
Of 1855 crop Of pitchers were
between the ages Of 80 and az. Pat
Malone was 33-year-old who came
through with flying colors, the for
mer Cub, who now is with the Yanks,
winning IL games and losing only
four. Big Charlie Rufflng, who admits
to 80 years now, came up with his
greatest season. He won 20 games for
the first time In his career and lost II.
Still another Yankee, Bump
Hadley, was veteran who en-
joyed his best year. The Bumper
won IA and lost four and he will
be 30 next July.
Among others who pitched good
ball during the campaign and who
has passed the 30-year mark was
Tommy Bridges Of Detroit. Tommy
has made a practice Of finishing with
good records, however. He won 10
and lost 10. So has 32-year-old Johnny
Allen Of Cleveland, who had q 20-1o
record. Two more surprising gentle

men in this category were Harry Kel-
ley of last-place Athletics and Peter
Appleton of the Nationals.
Due to fearful scarcity Of more
youthful talent on their respective
teams, Kelley and Appleton were
plucked from the minors. More than
10 years ago Kelley had failed with
Washington. but when Philadelphia
got him in the draft, he stepped up
and won IS games for Connie Mack,
while losing IL. He might have won
20 had he not been stricken with ap-
pendicitis more than a month be-
fore the season closed.
Appleton, who failed to stick in
four previous trials, came from Mon
treal to Washington via the draft
and, given only limited opportuni-
ties, won IA and lost Q.
