chess.
Coming to the Nations Capital
from New York City some three
years ago, Mr.. Mengarini afnliated
himself with the Capital City Chess
Club and proceeded to make warm
friends among the membership OF
contemporary clubs.
In the winter club tournament of
Capital City he attracted attention
by outplaying more veteran local
kleiner meisters to snare the 1910
title of Washington's oldest chess
organization. Then, a spirit of
youth seemed to flow into the hard
ening arteries of the aged institu-
ton and the 20-year-old youth was
elected to the important Office of
chess director. Under his leader
ship and program planning the Four
C's leapt ahead and began to ad-
vance under liberal, progressive
banner.
Facing Vladimir Sournin, a former
District champion in the seventh
and final round of the 1910 District
championship tournam n t, Mr..
Mengarini launched his own version
OF "blitzkrieg" and literally stunned
the veteran by gathering in his
queen on the 33d move. Eight moves
later Sournin rendered his sword
which Mr.. Mengarini accepted with
alacrity, becoming the new District
champion to receive the Kurtz
Wimsatt bejeweled stick-pin award,
the major share of the cash purse,
and the honor Of having his name
carved on the traditional I. S.
Turnover silver trophy, which no
local master seems to be able to win
three times in succession.
The game that gave the District
a new champion.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Arnold
Hangers Dit, a front-running ras-
cal with lot of wind, established
himself more than ever today as
the Easts chief Kentucky Derby
hope by whipping big but other
wise not-so-hot field in the Wood
Memorial.
BY coming home three lengths
in front and nothing even close,
the son of Transmute won for him
self the rather doubtful honor OF
going to Louisville to challenge
Bimelech in the Derby a week from
today.
He was by all odds the class of the
field, and a record crowd of 27,6l3
fans, who made him the IS 30 -for-s2
favorite in the field of 13 knew it.
Red Dock Easy Second.
He broke on top, made every pole
a winning one and made the finish

Dock was an easy second. five
lengths in front of the surprising
Devils Crag. which John B. Part
ridge claimed from Mrs. H. c. Phipps
year ago.
The Crag led Mrs. Phipps' Snow
Ridge by length and half, a
length farther back came Ambhn'

the country last year who didn t
commit his usual "sin" of running
out.

Back Of Andy K, the field was q
procession that just came along for
the ride, despite Dts time Of ASS,
which is strictly nothing to write
home about. Sonny Whitney's two
Derby hopes, Carrier Pigeon and
Flight Command, ran sixth and
twelfth respectively.
In fact, the only horse Flight
Command beat was the British in
vader with the Dixie name, Robert
E. Lee. Jock Whitney's Woof Woof
winner of the Flamingo at Hialeah
and the only starter today not ell
gible for the Derby, was badly
outrun eleventh.
Two Betting Records Set.
Dit hit the jackpot today for the
richest Wood in the 16 runnings of
this annual pre-Derby test. With
13 starters, the victory was worth
s19,225 to Hangers Stable, which is
run by Max Hirsch, who trained
Morton L. Schwartz's Bold Venture
for his Kentucky Derby triumph in
SO.
The combination Of mild spring
weather and the fact that the East g
classiest 3-year-olds were on dis
play resulted in an all-time high
turnout for the Jamaica track, some
5000 more than the previous record
The crowd bet a total of sl83 224
