The problem was written out, even
as subsequent early problem compo-
sitions by American composers that
appeared in the Spirit of the Times,
namely: Mr.. H. of the New York

D. Julien, 1847 (problem No. ID.
In 1847, J. Knous' four-move prob
lem No. Is of the Spirit was the
first problem to appear in chess
diagram form.
In 1859, there were about 80 chess
columns in the United States. In
the Chess Monthly, May, 1861, there
is an article probably by Henry
entitled "The American Chess Col
onnade," listing IS chess columns
that appeared from March l, 1845,
to April 20, 1861, in presumably
American newspapers, of which
some SO actually are known.
Henry himself composed few prob

for the Saturday Press and Spirit
of the Times, also contributing occa-
sionally to other chess organs.

later each day. A tide that has oc-
CURED near the end Of one calen-
dar day will be followed by a cor
responding tide that may skip the
following day and occur in the early
morning of the third day. Thus on
certain days of each month only a
single high or a single low water
occurs. At some stations, during
portions of each month, the tide
becomes diurnal; that is, only one
high and one low water occur during
the period of a lunar day. At such
times, instead of a vacant space in
only the high or the low column, 1t
will be noted that vacancies occur
in both the high and low columns.
Checking tides becomes extremely
simple if the little booklet, Tide
Tables-Atlantic Ocean," Is cents
at the United States Coast and Geo.
detic Survey, is made part of every
anglers equipment.
Tax Appears Unjust.
The Maryland Legislature passed
an act to repeal section "a of article
56 of the 1899 licenses and tax on
admissions and replaced it with sew
eral sections, including IA, which
levies and collects tax Of l per
cent on amusements. Not only such
things as roller-coasterS and movies
but sporting and recreation facilities
are included, which means the bay
boatmen have to pay on the amount
of their gross income from charter
ing parties.
So far as we know this tax has not
been collected on the Chesapeake.
Ocean City charter boatmen have
paid it, most of them under protest.
We wonder if the august body of
lawmakers know how many sports
man dollars flow into every class of
business in the State because they
are attracted by the fishing. New
Jersey estimates the annual take
from fishing at more than 5000, ,000
These Ocean City offshore boats
require the best equipment and good
men to run them. Their income is
inadequate considering their high
gross revenue. Ocean City tried to
tax these boats and rescinded the
tax. The fleet is small this year. 1t
will be smaller next, if taxes mount
Why not tax those who receive the
benefits. We believe the marlin fish
ing is responsible for the growth of
Ocean City. We would like to see il

up for sale under an agreement
worked out by Perrin and Tom Cor
man of the Canadiens last month.
In addition to that crop, Coach
Ching johnson has signed to trial
contracts eight players who have
been under his observation and
coaching for the last two years.
Other deals probably will add
eight more players to the Ulines'
roster, according to Johnson, and
approximately 80 players are ex-
pected to report for training shortly.
Perrin was to leave for Lake Placid,
N. Y, today to confer with officials
over the possibility of employing the
Olympic Arena there as a training
site.

Hint of Great Worth to Skins
As End Seen in Rook CIoirs
Assignment in Squad Tilt

SAN DIEGO. Calf, Sept. SIS
Frank Clair of Ohio State, the quiet
est man in camp, going to slip into
regular end position with the Red
skins as he has into the daily lives
of his new football teammates?
Sphinx that he is, Coach Ray Fla
herty won't give any inkling of what
Is in his mind in respect to the
seven rookie ends in camp, five of
whom came more highly touted than
this nice looking former Buckeye
who wears tortoise shell glasses of
the field and answers only in mono
syllabies when spoken to. But some
indication of Flaherty's mental
choices have appeared in his tenta-
tive starting line-ups for the Red
skins first intrasquad game here on
Saturday night.
Notwithstanding the presence of
such apparent favorites as Al Krue-
ger of Southern California, Sam
Goldman of Howard (the big star
to date, Joe Aguirre of st. Mary's
and Ed Cifers of Tennessee, Clair
Is the only rookie fiankman who has
been favored with a starting role in
the first of three preseason exhibi-
tions the Skins will play.
Clair is down to start on Fla
herty's East team, which will have
the veteran Bob Masterson at the
other end. Furthermore, Clair is
one of only two rockies slated to
be on the field at the opening kick
off, Tackle Fred Davis being the
other. But then, Davis has been
"cinch" to make good from the
start.
Flaherty may inadvertently have
tipped his hand the other day when
discussing end prospects He seemed
to prefer Clair, Kruger and Cifers.

Fined for Tardiness,
Banfa Quickly Wins
Redskin Favor
Former Trojun Displays
Marked Kicking Skill;
Dow Is Impressive
BY BILL DISMER, Jr,
Star Staff Correspondent.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Sept. 3.-For
a rookie whose alibi for tardy ar
rival created anything but a favor
able reaction, Jack Banta Of South
ern California was well started on
his way to complete forgiveness to-
day.
Fined $50 for failure TO report
when ordered and openly censured
by Owner George Marshall for dis
playing a "smart-aleck" attitude,
Banta lost no time yesterday in at
tempting to eradicate impressions he
made when first questioned by the
Tribes chieftian.
Banta admitted cashing in a
plane ticket given him by Arch
Ward, director of the Chicago ALL
Star game, and pocketing the diff
ference between that and train fare
home because, he said, his mother
did not want him to fly. But he ac-
cused an informant of Marshall's OF
lying when he said Banta still was
in Chicago the afternoon following
the game. The way he said it
aroused B. P's ire no little. And
when he explained his days tardi-
ness by stating that he had stopped
off at his home to rest before report
ing, Marshall few o ffthe handle.
Shows His Staff.
II don't know whether we want
him on the Redskins or not" said
Marshall.
But an hour later-or when punt
ing practice was in full sWing-Mar-
shall began to change his tune. For
back there with the kickers was
Banta, a regular punter as well as
a ball carrier for U. S. C. last year,
getting of boots ranging from so
to 60 yards and looking pretty darn
good doing it. Banta's not big as
backs go, standing only feet 10
and weighing little more than 100.
But he appears rugged and-accord-
ing to his Trojan teammates on the
squad-he's a tough honbre who
likes it best when the going is
hardest.
There's little doubt he has been
tabled by Coach Ray Flaherty as
among the new backs who will
stick and there's little reason to
believe that the recent indiscre-
tions will be held against him If
he proves he has the stuff. AS
a matter of fact, Marshall said later
that Banta would have an oppor-
tunity to work off the fine-"if he
makes the team" Even before he
reported he had been described as
a ''cocky little guy" So if he did
show some temper he was in char
acter.
Dow May Make Grade.
Today's scrimmage with pads, the
last scheduled in San Diego. was
expected to further the probability
that Ken Dow, rookie fullback from
oregon State, would be among the
newcomers to make the grade. Dow
gave one of the best running exhi-
bitions Of the training period in
! Saturdays padless scrimmage and
! Flaherty likes the way the speedy
200 = FOUNDER cuts, wheels and
changes direction on a dive.
Hes not afraid to run into the
big fellows, either" Flaherty COM
mented, "if he thinks he has a
chance of knitting his way through.
He did it several times Saturday
and might make US plunging back
who could pick up those last two
or three yards in pay territory.
He's not bad on pass defense, either,
despite the fact he's under 6 feet"
Dow is no shorter than Banta
or the veteran guard Steve Slivin-
ski, but he appears the shortest
man on the squad.

Fishermen notoriously are lax in
entering their fish in contests. That
is noted not only in small local af-
fairs, but also in large ones-even
those of national scope, where the
payof isn't just rod or reel, but
often amounts to several hundred
dollars.
Local anglers have caught many
tuna at Ocean City this year, but
not a single one has been entered
in the Rupert contest, and right
now any two tuna, regardless OF
their weights, would be in line for
total of $3.50, as since Frank "Ty-
coon" OBrien of Miami entered a
422- FOUNDER caught in the Cat Cay
tournament last June, there hasn't
been a single entry. 1t appears
as though some good United States
currency is going begging unless
anglers get busy.
In the white marlin class, H. M.
Wells, 4418 Greenwich parkway
NV. still is leading with the 123-
FOUNDER he caught off Miami Beach
last April. At this time of the sea-
son it looks as though 1t has a
real chance to continue to the finish
in top place. If it does 1t pays $3.50
to Wells and another 500 to Capt.
B. L. Raymond, on whose Lev-Lou
it was caught.
Another skipper well known to
local fishermen, Capt. Vic Lance,
cashed in twice last month in the
current Guenther contest, each time
for s25, for even though larger mar
lin were caught, he entered his
catch.
Few Bluefiish Registered.
George Rupert notes the entries
of but three bluefish, the two large
ones caught in southern waters and
the small one caught off jersey
further proof there has been no run
this year.
There are only three entries Of
cod, but on this species the season
is young.
Considering these six fish will split
S575 unless anglers get busy before
December 81, it is easy to under
stand why any fish caught should
be entered.
There are some fishermen who
would like to fish according to the
tides if they understood them bet
ter. At least that is our impression
from recent queries.
Perhaps knowing there usually
are two high and two low waters in
a day will help. Tides follow the
moon more closely than the sun,
and the lunar or tidal day is about
SO minutes longer than the solar
