ANOTHER MATCH ON Showalter to Play Pillsbury for the Championship. CONDITIONS OF THE NEXT GAMES Arranging for the Coming Cable Contest. eee gene LOCAL CHESS GOSSIP Mr. Jackson W. Showalter, who has been in this city the past week, confirms the announcement that he and Pillsbury have agreed upon another match for the chess championship of the United States. It will be remembe-ed that Pillsbury won the former match by the close score of 10 to 8 and three draws. The conditions of the coming match will be quite similar. The player first winning seven games wins the match, but in case the score stands six each, the match will continue until one player wins ten games. The ime limit will be twenty-five moves the first two hours and fifteen moves an hour thereafter. The games will also be started earlier in the day, and play be adjcurned at 10:30 p.m. In the last match play commenced in the evening-and continued until the game was finished, in some cases into the following forenoon. It is stated that Showalter had given up smoking when he played his former match, Lut that he has resumed his old habit, and will play the present match cigar in hand. A comparison ot results will be interesting. The Cable Ma As previously announced in these columns, the Brooklyn Chess Club's ex- ecutive committee has already selected six members of the next cable match team, viz: Messrs. H. N. Pillsbury, J. W. Sh w- alter, J. F. Barry, E. Hymes, A. B. Hodges and E. Delmar. These players all p on the last team and played cred games. C. F. Burille, who has p!ay the last two teams, was not selected, cause of his poor showing against At last year. He will in all probability ar opportunity to compete for a place on the team in a tournament which, it is un- derstood, it is proposeé to hold of leading American players. A conference of rop- resentatives of American clubs has bren called to meet at Brooklyn next Wed- nesday, when the best method of selecting the four remaining members of the te2m will be considered. The Washingtcn Chess Club has been requested io send a repre- sentative. At a meeting of the executive committee Saturday evening it was decided to accept the, invication. Captain Patrick O'Farrell wad selected to represent the Washington club. The captain is well known among chess players, and is one of the best persons who could have been ckosen fer the plac Another matter which will probably be discussed is a proposition from a com- mittee of the Boston Chess Club for the formation of the American Cable Chess Match League, who: t shall be to manage cable chess matches with other rations, to furnis financial support therefor, and to encourage a genera terest in chess throughout the count Ii is proposed that any resident in this ccuntry may become 3 but only the presidents of Brooklyn Cub, the Manhattan Chess Club of New York, the Franklin Club of Philadelphia, the Beston Chess Club and the Baltimore Chess Club shall be officers of the elation, of wnich there shall be pri vice president, secretary and treasurer. It is singular that another Officer was rot ‘provided, so that the president of each of said clubs. could hold office. Why Bal- timore was setected instead of Washing- ton it is not easy to conceive. The Wash- ington club rauks the Baltimore club nu- necrically and in playing strength, and has done so since the days of Pollock. The proposed organization is a good thing, end should be encouraged. Washington Club Championship. Captain O’Farreil met with his first re- verse Monday night in the championship tournament of the Washington Chess Club. After winning eight straight victories, a score of which he may deservedly be proud, he fell down before Mr. Tibbetts’ superior skill. Mr. Tibbetts played the chess of which he is capable, and the cap- tain had no chance to win. Saturday even- ing Captain O'Farrell gained his ninth vic- tery. Mr. Thomas was the loser. ‘The lat- ter has been playing much better chess than in former tournaments, but when he meets a player of large experience, like the captain, the chances are against him. Cap- tain O'Farrell has but one game more to play, with Woodward. Should he win or draw the game he will win first prize and be club champion for the coming year. Should he lose the game, there is a pos- sibility that either Tibbetts or Woodward may lie him. Tibbetts defeated Prender Saturday night, and has won 7 and lost 2, with two more to play. while Woodward has won 6 and lost 2, with three more to play. On Monday evening Dr. Hodges defeated Mr. Tucker. The latter played the opening well and had a good attack, when he lost time by running a knight from the king’s to the queen’s side. The doctor has im- proved in his play quite noticeably the past year, and it requires careful, con- sistent playing to defeat him. He at once seized the opportunity, and gained the ad- vantage, which he maintained. On Wed- nesday ‘evening Harris defeated Tucker, though the latter had the advantage at one time. Mr. Campbell won a pretty game from Mundelle, who unwisely sacrificed his qucen. A very pretty race ts being run for the championship of the Brocklyn Chess Club. At last accounts Marshall was in the lea, having won all seven games played by him. Next comes Ruth, who has won six and drawn the seventh. Napier, the present champion and favorite in the tournament, is third, having won seven and ost one. In the championship contest of the Man- hettan Chess Club Rocamora and Baird are tied for first plac>, each having won eight and lost four. The Walker-O'Farrell match will be re- sumed as soon a3 O'Farrell finishes his games in the championship tourncy-of the Wastington Club. The present score is: Walker, 6; O'Farrell, 2.

The triumphant march to repeated vic- tories of the Baltimore club was cut short by the Park club of Plainfield, N. J., at the Baltimore club rooms Saturday night, by the score of 24 to 17. Park was repre- sented by Captain George T. Rogers, J. H. Howell, Samuel Townsend and 8S. J. Mc- Cutchen. The victory was due to the steady team play of the Parks. At no time was any player on their side rattled. Whenever @ trick got away from them the order came to “close up” or “steady,” and by their excellent discipline they hug- ged the Baltimores so closely that at the forty-third board they were within two tricks of the champions, when Baltimore went to pleces, losing 4 tricks on 43 and 5 tricks on board 44. This was a break too serious to overcome, — New Jersey is in poeeeein er — A. wan 2 place in'the league, e if Baltimore had to part with the cup. The visitors won not only the trophy, but the hearts of every Baltimore player. They are deservedly champions, having made a hot fight from start to finish. ‘The revoke of Bosler on board 11 was amply made up on board 27, when he gained 3 tricks by a beautiful play. Dia- mond trumps, he sat fourth hand with five trumps to the ace queen, six hearts to the queen, the next highest being the seven, two clubs, ace and two-spot. After the second round of trumps he led his fourth best heart, his partner's king fell to the-ace fourth hand. Now, with five hearts left, he led away from the queen, found his partner with the jack and a small heart to put him tn with. In the other room the Park player re- marked: “If I only had had the tnspira- tion to lead away from the queen of hearts I would have gained some tricks.” While the match was in progress the players of other cities were having a test of skill with the strong Walbrook play- ers and other members of the Baltimore club, who were putting up as good whist as the players in the next room, especially the captain of the Walbrook, who is one of the soundest players in the country, al- ways on the alert, seldom allowing a trick to escape. There are quite a number =| brilliant players in both clubs who have never been in a contest and who are anx- fous to win their first spurs. Whist at Philndelphin. The weekly match for the Andrews trophies came off at Philadelphia Wed- nesday, and Mrs. Andrews’ team was vic- torious by a margin of 15 tricks, one board, No. 10, netting 5 tricks. This game is the tenth won by Mrs. Andrews’ team, which give: it a iead over Mrs. Newbold’s team. Two more wins will land the tro- Dhies. Philadelphia Nas had another gala week in the mixed pair contests that have been going on for several days. There are four pairs tieing for first place in section 1, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton, having won all their matches in section 2, have first place, but will have to meet the winners in sec- tion 1. Coming Match at Baltimore. The mixed pair contest in Baltimore Thursday night between Washington and Baltimore is tooked forward to, with much interest in whist circles, and the chances are strongly in favor of Washington. Mrs. Hawley’s team easily defeated the Bal- timore team in the last contest, and if Washington is represented by its strong players there are good chances of a vic- tory, although the Baltimores seem con- fiaent, as their women players have im- proved very much since their last encoun- ter, and McCay says they will give a good account of themselves. Leading Through Strength. Beverly Smith gives some good reasons about the lead through strength: “One of the most dangerous practices to which whisters of average ability are greatly ad- aicted is that of p!aying through the ad- versary'’s declared sult. Having won fourth in hand, on opponent's lead of his long suit, particularly if the trick was taken cheaply, they cannot stand the temptation to lead through the original opener, and thus, as they say, ‘give partner a chance’ to finesse. This looks very attractive, but practical experience proves it is often ex- One of the most important facts bourne in mird is that each deal per- mits of twelve leads on ‘the part of one or the other of the four players engaged, and only twelve. This, taking an average, gives each player three, and these should be used as weapous of attack or defense, as means of esiablishing one’s own or partner's suit, not wasted and frittered ving and assisting the enemy the opponents piay their own Make them lead and establish their cwn suits, if they can, but compel one of them to give up a good card in your suit before ebtaining a lead for this pur- pose. An opportuni will be api to pre- sent itself, in case th aindon the suit, to lead it through later in the game, whi the developments on the other suits will game. game. Let ™M afford you the information w her it is antageous. | Of course, the 2 vice is based cn the theory that the suit opened by your left-hand vyérsuary is not also your best suit. If s happens to be the case, the situation is ene of the utmost difficulty, and great care must be used in your play. If you do not hold another good suit to open, but have enough strength in the suit in question to prevent its estabiishment by your adversary, the lead of a supporting trump is often good defensive play, espe- cially if the remainder of your hand ts evenly divided, with an honor protected in the other two plain suits. The argu? ment against continuing the suit in such a case is that partner or opponent on your right is apt to ruff the second round. If Partner, you do not care to force him, un- less you are strong in trumps yourself, and even then he is Hable to be overtrump- ed. Again, your partner may hold the master card in the suit, and the original leader’s partner no more, so that by re- turning it you not only deprive your part- ner of what may be his only card of re- entry, but may ferce an adversary who may be very glad to make a small trump. Still again, the original leader may hold the master-card in the suit, put it up, and proceed to make off one or two small trumps for his partner by leading the suit right back. On the other hand, the danger of a lead of either of your ‘short plain suits is apt to be greater now than as an original lead, for the chances are that the strength in these two suits is likely to lie between your partner and his left- hand adversary, so the selection of either must be a matter of guesswork.” BOWLING. Saengerbund Team Defeated at Balti- more. The Saengerbund bowling team, leadcrs of the District league, played a three-game match with the Baltimore Catholic Club Saturday evening, on the Baltimoreans’ alleys. The Saengers were defeated in all of the games, althouga the margins were small. The Catholic Club won ail of the games in the final innings, as the Wash- ington players generally led throughout the game till near the finish, when the home team pulled up. The Baltimore team owes to Capt. Curran most of the credit for its victories, as his steady work as last man up for the side each time brought in the winning pins. His games of 195, 198 and 178 are very praiseworthy. The games were witnessed by many spectators, and as the Suengerbund had but a small handful of rooters along, outchcered. ‘The scores of the games follow: SAS ep they were considerably The visitors were invitea into an adjoin- ing room after the games, where a colla- tion was served, the occasion being made pleasant by fraternal greetings on both sides. The Catholic Club will play a re- turn set on the Saengerbund alleys Janu- ary 29. Next Saturday evening the Carroll lasti- tute five will go to Baltimore to compete with the Catholic Club. The Catholic club in their recent games have demonstrated their ability to play a fine game of ten- pins, and they have so far gotten the best of the argument with the Washington clubs. The Columbia Athletic Club is the only local team wh‘ch has won two of three games from these strong bowlers. There will be league tenpins tonight at | the Washington Athietic Club, betwecn the W. A. CG and the Business Men's Bowling Club. WILL ROW AT PHILADELPHIA. National Association Seeking Entries of College Eights.

The date of the regatta (July 22 and 23) was wisely advanced about a month ahead of the usual date. This will insure entries from crews that do not care to remain ali summer in training.
