NEWS IN CHESS CIRCLES The Brooklyn club, twenty strong, ar rived in Washington last evening and for the next three days will give exhibitions at National Park, the opposing teams being made up as Regulars and Yanigans. There is not a player in the entir2 twenty who is not in the pink of condition. Manager Hanlon has the knack or cleverness of get- ting his men fit as fiddles for the early games, and as a result their start in the championship race {s such a good one that th? club can afford to take things *asy when the others are extending themselves to the limit. The Brooklyns have necn practicing at Augusta, Ga., for the pust month and the new additions to the team have become accustomed to their compan- fons and surroundings, with the result that the outfit is even stronger now than it was last season. Jot Kelley will play first as well as Jennings, and De Montreville is out- classing Jimmy Casey at third. In the field Sheckard tak>s Kelley's place and the other two regulars, Keeler and Jones, are the top-liners in the center and right gar- dens. With the addition of McGinnity and Howell from Baltimore to the pitching staff, it is hard to locate the Sup2rbas any further down the line than second place, and it will take an accident to place them even there. The game this afternoon starts at 4:15 and will be a first-class exhibition in 2very particular, as the players, owing to their fine condition, cannot play poor ball. The two sides will Iine up as follows: Brooklyn. Reserves. - Steelman Positions. sess cateher , * pitcher Sheckard. Jones. Keeler. ---right field The Georgetown University boys were confronted with another easy proposition Saturday afternoon on the college campus, the opposing team being the Johns Hopkins nine from Baltimore, the final score being 14 to 3 fn favor of the locals. Golden and -Kay did the twirling for the George- s and their work was of the gilt-edge but seven hits being secured by the osing baismen. Baker did the pitching the visitors, and although his curves iooked like money from home to the boys blue and gray his support was so wretched that a true line cannot be se- cured on his ability. Twelve errors are charged up against the visitors, almost every man presented with opportunities failing down. The one bright spot in the visitors’ play was Miller, at second base, who accepted his seven chances without a slip up, but he, too, went down before the prowess of the opposing pitchers. Should the Georgetowns continue this week their work of Saturday the big college teams will have to look to their laurels. They have een credited with being a weak hitting combination, but the way the sphere was driven through the infield and over the heads of the outfielders was simply a cau- tion. Walsh drove out four hits, one a ring- ing drive for four bases, while little Moran hammered out two doubles and a single. Downes was close up, with three singles, whi olden followed with two. The lo- cals’ fielding was also good, three of the four errors being charged to Devlin and Moran, which is a good sign, as these two men err very seldom. As before remarked in these columns, the Georgetowns are get- ung better every game, the outside colleges and universities are becoming aware of this fact, and their record on the season will probably be an exceptionally good one. The Guallaudets’ trip to Charlottesville, Va., Saturday proved disastrous, the Uni- versity of Virginia lads having a walk-over, the score being 9 to 3. A lamentable weak- ness at the bat was probably the cause of the mutes’ fall down, as they registered but five safeties, while their opponents were checking off thirteen. The fielding of both teams was almost on a par, the University of Virginia having four misplays. while the Gallaudets secured tive. The bright par- ticular spot in the mutes’ losing game was the drive of Left Fielder Wheeler, when he faced the speedy curves of Pinkerton for the first time in the fifth Inning. He simply propped himself for an outcurve, and as he guessed right and cut loose with all his strength the ball was seen to be jonrney- ing toward the wilds of Virginia, taking a graceful curve over the left fleld fence. The hit was a beauty and Wheeler was given lots of applause. The first game of the Y. M. C. A. season at the local park was a well earned victory over the Maryland Agricultural College lads, the score being 13 to 2 In favor of the fcrmer. Captain Nicholson has not secured his regular team as yet to represent the association, and had to pick his nine play- ers from the entire outfit. His selections proved good, as they simply toyed with the “farmers,” but four hits going to the vis- itors’ credit, while they secured fifteen hits, among them belng homers, triples and dou- bles. The Central High School team journeyed to Ellicott City Saturday and faced the Rock Hill College club, the latter winning by the score of 9 to 7. The locals claim that an unlucky decision robbed them of a victory, but as they were outbatted and almost fielded as well as the Rock Hill boys their defeat can probably be ascribed to better all around work of their oppo- nents.

The continuous handicap tourney at the local club continues to hold the boards to the almost entire exclusion of other forms of competition. To those who may not un- derstand the principle on which these matches are played, the explanation may be made that odds are given by the strong- er players to the weaker by a regular gradation of classes. Thus A gives to the class immediately below him simply the drawn games, and the difference between the highest and lowest is as mUch as a rook, pawn and the move. The record is kept by the easy ard simple method of the loser handing over to the winner a ticket prepared for that purpose, which fs depos- ited in a numbered box. To secure fair- ness in the contest, one must play a mini- mum number of games with a minimum number of players and as many more as may be desired. A player winning 60 per cent of his games in one month goes up a class, and one not winning 40 per cent goes down a class. This form of contest has {ts advantages. It keeps the spirit of emulation abroad, which is, in reality, the foundation rock on which chess is built, It leads, also, to a Trim | hats.
