TOURTAENT 0 BEGIN NOVEMBER 11 Rules Governing Handicaps Have Been Modified. MATCH WITH BROOKLYN ——_>-—__. The Washington Chess, Checker ard Whist Club will open the chess season this evening in a team match, in which all the members in the city are expected to par- ticlpate. Messrs. James Patterson and W. A. Gwyer, jr., two of the strong players of the club, will lead the respective sides. The teams will be chosen at 8 o'clock, und play- ers who arrive later will also be paired. Non-members are invited to be present, and should there be enough tables to go around they will be given an opportunity to play The annual tournament of the Wasbing- ton club will begin November 11. As the tournaments of the club are for the pur- pose of promoting chess playing in the city, it has been decided to open the tournament to all players in the District. Entries will close November 4. The entrance fee will be $2. All the entrance money will be used for the purchase of prizes,as follows: Thirty per cent to purchase the first prize, twenty- five per cent to purchase the second prize, twenty per cent for the thidd prize, fifteen per cent for the fourth prize, and ten per cent for the fifth prize. Under this appor- tionment there will be five prizes, and the difference between one prize and arcther is slight. Each competitor plays but one game with every other player, and but one game Is required to be played per week, un- less the number of competitors should ren- der it necessary. The pairing of the players 1s to he done by lot. The time limit will be forty moves for the first two hours on each side, and twen- ty moves an hour thereafter. Handicap Rules Modified. The rules governing the continuous handi- cap tournaments at the Washington Chess Club have been modified, beginning on the Ist instant. It was decided to separate the players into five classes, viz: A, B, C, D, E. One class gives players in the “ext ciass below KB pawn and move; two classes below, KB pawn and two m three classes below, QK odds, and four clas below QR odds. Draws do not count. ‘The number of prizes has been increased to five, including a special prize for the player’ winning the greatest num’ of games. To be eligible for a prize, a player must play at least forty games in the three months, with at least eight different play- ers, and at least five of the games must be played with a player or players in the same Cla:s as the prize winner. It is ex- pected, now that the cool weather has returned, that there will be a marked in- crease in the number of games played in the continuous tourneys. Tharp-Tibbetts Match. The third game im the match between Messrs. L. Tharp and E. A. Tibbetts was a French defense, defended by the latter. It was a well-contésted game throughout, and was won by Me. Tibbetts on its merits after about eighty moves. Mr. Tharp was pressed for time in the middle of the game. ‘The fourth game between these parties w: & queen's gambit decline: in a draw, after sixty-five move score now stards: Tharp, 2; Tibbetts, drawn, 1. ‘The match by c¢ the Washingtcn ag has been resumed, during the summer months. Eagle says of these games: “At an early date in this contest, owing to mismanagement and neglect of the com- mittee then in charge, the games were al- lowed to lapse into a very precarious state, so much so that defeat was staring Brook- lyn in the face almost from the start. By careful nursing, however, the positions have since been put in shape to some ex- tent, and now one of the games at least presents an equal state of affairs, as as Brooklyn is concerned, with possibly a slightly stronger position. The other game, thcugh, is, if position goes for any- thing, wellnigh beyond redemption, having been, in fact, an uphill fight against hope since the opening, a Ruy Lopez, turned in- to a four knights’ game, and defended on Showalter's favorite, but unsound, lines. The club members hereafter will be kept analyzing the changing positions, and i not be through lack of effort that either one of the two games will be lost.” The Washington players figure on surely winning the Ruy Lopez, and at least get- ting a draw in the queen's gambit declined. 1; rrespondence between Brooklyn chess clubs after an adjournment The Brooklyn The moves in the games to date are as follows: Game A—Queen’s Gambit Declined.

The Buda Pesth tournament begins Mon- day. It fs doubtful if Lasker will partici- pate, because of his physical condition and match with Steinitz, which commences on November 10.

The field and track at ies at George- town University have commenced, and the men are all getting in condition for coming events. Every afternoon after the studies for the day have eoncluded the athletes get out on the track and Iimber up. This year the ’varsity has a large number of promising men. Thé loss of “Big Mike” Mahcney, while it will be felt to some ex- tent In the athleticag will be more felt on the ball team. In sprinters and runners the university has a number who prom- ise good things as soon as they get into concition. None have yet taken to the hur- dies, and it is likely that none will until a week or more. Trainer Foley arrived during the week, and his reappearance was sreeted with delight. He is looking well, and is ready for a hard season’s work. Frem all appearances he will have his hands full attending to the large numb2r of pupils who are now in training, this year promising to be the banner year in this respect. The plans for the fall games are now be- ing laid. It was originally contemplated to hold these games on October 24, but cir- cumstances will not permit the use of that date, and another date has not as yet been decided upon. This will be done some time during the week, however, and things will be pushed for the meet. It is proposed to make it an invitation affair, and already promises have been received of men from Fordham and P while the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania will send down its crack relay team to win back the honors wrested from them last year by George- town. It is also likely that Columbian University of this city will also be repre- sented in the games. The games this year HOEKE'’S. HOEKE eset | HOEKE l HOEKE’S. Hoeke==-the reliable..

From the New York Times. In every barber's shop in this city and twenty-seven other cities in New York state razors were drawn with unusual care and persistence yesterday over whetstones and strops, and there was a glitter in the eyes of boss barbers that boded no good to somebody. The knights of the razor and scissors have been called to arms. All over tre state the slogan has been sounded: “Down with barbers’ colleg: “Perdition to the mushroom hair clip- pers and face scrapers who invade our province with diplomas!” From Rochester came the call to battle. It was thundered out by Charles A. Prinz, president of the Barbers’ Protective Asso- ciation of that city. He wishes employers to band together against shaving schools and their graduates, and through his asso- ciation has called a convention of barbers, to meet November 17 in Syracuse, Bing- hamton or Utica. “We want to legislate the incompetent barbers and the so-called harber colleges out of existence,” said Mr. Prinz, “so that no person can manage or be a proprictor of a barber's shop without passing an ex- amination before a competent board of ex- aminers. The lawyers, doctors, dentists, plumbers, druggists, horseshoers, and even policemen, mail carriers and firemen are required to pass an examination; in fact al- most every trade and profession in the land ts protected. “Is the barber protected? No! Why not? Simply because the barbers have not i the gumption before to look out for their own interests. But now they see to what it will lead unless something is done to legislate the inccmpetent barbers as well as the barber colleges ou: of existence. Years ago it was customary for ai ap. prentice to serve three years at the irade before he was considerel a barber. But now the majority serve about six months and then start in business for themselves. What kind of work can such a barber 6 or a barber who practices cight weeks a barber college? They certainly cannot do good work, conseauently they must cut prices. “At this rate how !ong before the whole country fs overrun by cheap barbers’ shups and the good barbers will have to gc out of business or else cut their prices accord- ingly. This must be prevented by the bet- ter class of barbers, who understand their business, banding together for their mutual protection. . John 8. Everly, the Ashland Honse ber- ber, is in hearty accord with Mr. Prinz's ideas. “Why, it's awful, the kind of workmen these barber schools are turning out,” he sald to a reporter for the New York T*mes. “They are a positive menace to the public safety and good looks. “When I learned my trade we didn't think a man knew it all until he had had about six years’ experience. We began with lathering customers, and it was a long while before we got to handling the tools of our trade. “Now these schools are turning out butchers and hackers of hair after five or six weeks of alleged training. “If one of them gets into a shop he is enough to ruin a good trade. Do you sup- pose that a man who loses a section of his nose in a barber's chair will come back to sacrifice an ear? And Is it likely that a man will develop such an appetite for soap that he'll come in every day to get a mouthful? “These barber colleges should certainly be legisleted out of existence and kept ou Carl Schuhr, the Young Men's Christian Association barber, thinks that none should enter his business who has not served a thorough apprenticeship and passed an ex- amination. “We have to keep the public looking ciean and neat,” said Mr. Schuhr, “and we ought to do it good and without hurting. We can’t cut a man’s face into strips and expect to have him say ‘Thank you.’ Eh? T guess not; and that’s what these barber college fellows do. Let us have laws to stop them. De pein ae draw up a law against in- competent }..:rhers and barber colleges, and it will probably be presented at the next session of the icgislature. ———_++—____ Must Have Been a Sparrow. From the San Francisco Post. An Oakland minister has been greatly annoyed by English sparrows all summer. They stuffed the fancy cornice on his house full of debris and ate up all the fruit from the half-dozen trees he had in his yard. The pastor has condemned the little pests In very vigorous language. At the dinner table the other day the pastor asked his six-year-old boy why he had mixed the ink and the mucilage in his study. “I didn’t—er—” “Don’t deny it, sir,” interrupted the father, “I know that you di “How do you know, papa? “Oh, a little bird told me. “I suppose it was one of those condemned little sparrows.” Whilbe conauleteqlon a much moragiaborate Eas S == FOR THE MASSES. 2 Na a mee ee ee es aN We want to make clothes for the masses.

He was a curbstone orator, with pompa- dour hair and a quick, scrutinizing glance, as if looking for some one to disagree with his personal appearance. When he found himself on a street corner ncar the office of a big newspaper in the midst of a crowd of men wrangling over the blessings of free silver, free lunch and free everything, he was at home. He was one of a type of orators, not always met on the curbstone, and his forte was sta- tistics. This crator carried a whole maga- zine of figures in his head and shot them off with the ease and rapidity of a Hotch- kiss gun. His statistics were not always right. In point of fact, they were never right, but this genlus had solved the labor and money questions by making up his own statistics as he went along, and for a long time he was i howling success. His method was quite simple. When ad- dressing a knot of citizens on the question of bond issues the curbstone orator would demand In fierce accents of denuncfation: “What was the national debt in 1837? What was it, I repeat? Wasn't it five bil- lion, nine hundred and ninety-nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars and ten cents? Wasn't it, my friends The mere thought of such a row of fig- ures is formidable even for a college pro- fessor, to say nothing of the curbstone crowd, and the people in the knot would hang their heads guiltily, as though they had robbed the government, while the orator would ccntinue: “Now, my friends, our enemics talk of George Washington and the coinage laws. Were not the exports of iron in 1856 eleven million eleven hundred thousand tons? Did not the first tariff law make an ad valorem per cent on old T rail?) What was the total crop of wheat in 1817? Wasn't It 14,000,000 bushels, and didn’t it sell for $1.37% per bushel? Who can deny these facts? No one would be able to deny his statis- ties, and the erator was winning a repu tation as the “smartest man in Chic when one night he came to gr He had just asked the crow tional debt in 1814 was not $ when a short man on the ing knot edge aid it was not.
