The Game and Its
Players
By Paul J. Miller, T.

Washington Chess Divan has ini-
tiated its annual club championship
tilt with six stellar entries: Donald
H. Mugridge, 194l champion of Capt.
tai City Chess Club and erstwhile
District titleholder; L. Korsstrom, a
strong Morse player; B. Holmes,
twice winner Of class B blitzschach
Journeys; Kenneth Stubbs, local
kleiner meister and in his schooldays
the best high school player In the
District; E. M. Schara, dark horse,
and the unfathomable Ben Goldberg.
The opening round was staged jan
uary % at the Divan clubroom, 1886
Eye street NV, under the direction
Of the Official Tournament Commit
tee, embracing Chairman F. w. F.
Gleason, Divan President D. H. Mug
ridge and Secretary Norval P. Wig
ginton.
One day earlier the general tour
nament for 1912 started with IL
exceptional class-B players vying for
prize awards. The lineup reads: l.:
Adler, A. Bass, F. w. F. Gleason, A.
J. Healey, ]. Heidenreich, r. H.
Kinter, j. Launspach. w. I. Lourie,
A. Marmor. G. H. Tallman, Miss
Maud Sewall and Conrad Willnich.
In the first round Adler drew against
Willnich. Tallman defeated Gleason,
Healey won from Marmor, Launs-
pach and Kintner battled to a tie as
Lourie wrested a game from Miss
Sewall.
Divan opens its activity program
for 1912 with bang and the whirl-
wind of dynamic enthusiasm seems
to be challenge hurled at other
District clubs to go and do likewise.
New members for the year are E. M.
Schara, L. w. Ponce, Ecuadorian
diplomat and sometime District
champion; Heinrich Viktor Klein,
European kleiner meister and Louis

Chess Club in New York meeting Of
the leading chess experts in this coun-
try was held to act on the decision of
the United States Chess Fedora
ton to cancel the biennial national
championship tournament that was
scheduled for 1912, in which Samuel
Reshevsky, United States chess
champion, was to defend his title
for the fourth time. The results Of
the meeting are not yet available
but we hope the players declined to
call of the tournament and will
compete as formerly, war or no war.
The morale of the chess players
needs to be maintained. There is
no sense in chess taking nose dive
now. Rather Uncle Sam is en-
couraging sports to build up the

of the Tournament Committee of

Emmett Dawson
Takes OFF Gloves

WASHINGTON. - Declaring that
Rep. Howard Smith 3D., Va.) is $50
irresponsible as to mark him as a
menace to a people fighting in unity
to preserve its democracy and liber-
ty," Emmett c. Dawson opened what
promised to be gloves-off campaign
to retire Smith from public life.
Dawson, general secretary-treasurer
of the Init. Assn. of Machinists, struck
the first blow after a fight with the
Democratic committee in Smiths dis
trict. An attempt was made to. declare
Dawson ineligible because of a lack
of a sufficient number of poll tax
payers on his nominating petitions.
The attempt failed when an exhaus-
tive check showed that sufficient
number of signers had paid their poll
taxes.
Davison's statement was based on a
story which revealed that Smith had
advised an employer not to sign a
closed shop agreement and further
stated that he was so advising en-
ployers from the Atlantic to the
Pacific"
