Plays at Harvard.
Receiving, in 1927 and 1923, respec-
lively. the A. B. and M A. degrees in
history from the University of
Southern California. Mugridge then
attended Harvard University, where
he did two things, namely: Pursued
graduate work in his chosen field of
study and played chess. During
1928-33 he played on Harvards team
in the Boston Metropolitan Chess
League. never dropping more than
one game each season and topping all
league players one year as graduate
player. His score against the Provi-
dence. R. l., Chess Club was 3-1-1.
Ineligible for undergraduate competi-
ton. he contended for honors in the
Massachusetts, State championship.
In 1881 he captured the title, to re-
iinquish it the following year to the
redoubtable Harry Morton. who won
every game Mugridge totalirg 12l2-
IL against Morton's perfect dozen.
During his stay in Massachusetts he
ran up majority tallies against all
players except Morton, who refused to
take the small end of any score.
A specialist in American history,
Donald H. Mugridge came to Washing
ton in 1888 to associate himself with
the manuscript division of the Library
of Congress Shortly thereafter he
affiliated with the Capital City Chess
Club and won the club championship
in 1888 and the D. C. League crown
in 1884 with score of 8l2 victories
and r losses. In '35 he was runner
up for the District title, Martin Stark
carrying off major honors
Staging a comeback in '35, Mugridge
again won the C. C. c. C. champion
ship, ana has just emerged victorious
in the 1886 D. C. League battle with
winning score of 712-ll2 in the
regular nine rounds of tournament
play Sharing honors with Sournin)
and vanquiShing Vladimir Sournin in
the play-off match for the title by
garnering two straight victories.
In Simultaneous exhibitions Donald
has WreSted draws from LaSker, Mar
shall, Maroczy and Capablanca. He
has defeated Lasker and Marshall and
Reshevsky, the boy wonder, but not
Reshevsky, the modern master. In
the recent matches between Capital
City and Baltimore he won two games
and lost one. The favorite pastime
of the new D. C. League champ is
move -on-move" chess, but so far he
has found no compatriot of this di-
version among local fans.
Next Sunday a typical game of the
league champion will be presented for
r-the-board play.

Wins Los Angeles Crown.

MOVING to Los Angeles during the
Autumn of 1920, Mugridge was
not slow in joining the Los Angeles
Chess Club, one of the outstanding
chess organizations on the Pacific
Coast. Profiting by his participation
in the club bouts of 1924, he placed
among the aces in 1926 and won the
championship that year. Between the
years 1921 and 1927 he was always
in the parade of top-notchers. In
match games he scored on even terms
with Stasch Mlotkowski, one-time
champion of the Western Chess As
sociation. He led Harry Borochow
by one point, and piled up a heavy
majority against E. F. Schrader, also
a former Western title holder.
The San Francisco-Los Angeles
telegraph matches found him among
the select players. He participated
in the San Luis Obispo and San Diego
intercity tournaments, and his score
in the California State champion
ship at Los Angeles in 1922 was
5h-51a.
In 1928 the western Chess ASso-
citation held its annual national tour
nament in San Francisco. S. Mot
kowski and Norman T. Whitaker tied
for the championship. Mugridge en-
tered national competition for his first
and only time, and, succumbing to the
stage fright that generally character
ICES a youngster in his first sectional
matches on enemy territory, he won

Mugridge was in rare form. He
outplayed his opponent consistently
in every critical situation and by
superior strategy proved his ability
as chess player was a grade higher
than any of the 10 class-A chess ex-
pertS competing in the nine-round
league tournament for the District
title.
Looking backward in the chess hall
of fame, I find that Doralds birth
occurred in 1905. In Chicago he
learned the rules of the royal game"
at the tender age of 13, when his
boyhood chum received a set of chess
men as Christmas gift. Entering the
Hyde Park High School, Donald
demonstrated his skill as a chess
amateur by playing on the team when
a mere freshman. His teammates in
cluded George S. Barnes, lately Min
nesota chess champion, and Ebert
Wagner, one of the strongest players
in Chicago today. In 1920 Frank j..
Marshall, the American champion,
visited the Kenwood Chess Club in
Chicago, now extinct, and young
Mugridge obtained a draw game in
the simultaneous exhibition against
the grand master.
