BANKS, CHECKER KING,
 AT YMCA TONIGHT

The best checker talent in Wa terbury, vicinity and from out of town, will turn out tonight to honor and welcome Newell w. Banks, the greatest simultaneous checker and chess player in the world. It is dif- ficult to understand how after play ing twenty-five boards in open play that he still has energy enough to play six or more of the very strong est players blindfold. He also is an expert at pocket-billiards and often plays that game in conjunction with his blindfold checker game.
 It's a rare treat for those inter- ested in these games to watch him which is why great crowd is ex- pected tonight.
