Appearing as head linesman at the Washington Presidents-Norfolk By PAUL J. MILLER, Jr. America’s Authority on Social Chess. Ingenious Alekhin. CCORDING to the books, when the Queen’s Pawn opening glides into the Queen’s Gambit where a pawn is offered as sacrifice for positional reasons, the player of the Black pieces has his choice of several adequate replies. The Queen's Pawn openings hayve been very popular in the current se- ries of match games between Cham- pion Max Euwe and Challenger Alex- ander Alekhin for the world title, lost by the latter two years ago. On the defensive Black has resorted to the Slav Defense in the majority of some 10 match games. The books have it that when the Slav Defense is encountered by the player of the White pieces his proper move is to play, at the fourth turn, P-QR4 in anticipa- tion of Black's reply, P-QKt4. But Alekhin, in his return match with Euwe wherein he is making probably his last bid for the world championship, with the brilliant in- sight into ingenious combinational play so characteristic of Russian-born masters, evolved a distinctly new phase of play by essaying P-K4 on the fourth imove instead of the ortho- dox P-QRA4. And the chess world is buzz- ing like a hive of startled bees over the Alekhin variation in attack to the Slav Defense. For the next year you will see columnists and masters attempt a rational analysis of the disturbing P-K4 move and its subsequent con- tinuations. But the real test comes when the sixth move is dissected. Here Alekhin offers Kt-B3, giving away a Knight as sacrifice, and Euwe was so flabbergasted that he thought 40 minutes before he decided to re- fuse the sacrifice, countered with P-QKt4 to eventually resign on the twenty-third move. How would you have met the Alek- hin gift of guile? The sixth game: SLAV DEFENSE. Black, White, Euwe. Alekhin. White, Alekhin, s o) te: Euwe. Finally he forewent the knight sacrifice, but I prefer PXKt and after a series of moves Black has a stronger Posi- tion to ward off White's storming of the bagtille. "In the end White should win— maybe. Divan’s General Tournament.

Hounds Get Exercise, AFTER making more reverse spins than a light-footed halfbac! hounds were lifted and cast again a covert near the Dossett farm. This | time Charley broke into the open in full view of the field, made a quick turn east with hounds after him, and led them on a brief, but hot run until they came to a loss. Meanwhile members of the field who were doing a bit of hill-topping nearby viewed another fox that had been stirred into the open, although this line was not picked up. Finding again on the original line, the pack | drove back toward the Clagett farm, but came up short at a loss after a short burst. Fox Too Tricky. HAVING been out for aboutf three hours and having seen so many foxes that some one suggested the pursued might be ganging up on the pursuers, the riders turned homeward and adjourned to Freres farm, where a hunt tea was given by the masters.

Unless it counts every hair on each fighter's chest and inspects their fingernails, there’s hardly enough business to war- rant those frequent sessions. Local commissioners receive nothing. Massachusetts paves the way for crooked fights by paying its judges $5 a show. If their services may be bought that cheaply, there’s a wee bit of chance they might be Mmfluenced by more cash from some other source. Local judges receive omly an occa- sional rebuke for their optical de- ficiencies, Sometimes they're wrong, but nobody ever has hinted their opinions could be purchased. Joe Turner in Luck. REF’EREES in most other States are paid by the promoter, which also is an unhealthy arrangement. Lo- cally referees are paid by the com- mission out of that body’s $5 per cent revenue each show. As a whole they e paid more than in other sectors, and that 5 per cent is shelled out by the customer in purchasing the ticket —not by the promoter. Promoters almost without exception take a terrific shellacking in other jurisdictions, where they are called | inspectors. Promoter Joe Turner bleats about that 5 per cent the local commission deducts from his gate, but a quick glance at the information culled as a result of that survey would alter his outlook. From that stand- point he's the most fortunate pro- moter in the United States. In New York all fees are paid by the promoter, as is the case in many other boxing centers, In States Wwhere the commission | foots the bill, 10 per cent is slashed off the promoter's gate. In case | you're rusty on arithmetfc, that's 5 per cent more than Turner shells out. | The promoter's license to operate costs from 75 to 90 per cent less here than in other jurisdictions, while the license fees for managers, match- makers, fighters, seconds, etc., also are uniformly lo in the District.

The worst he ever can be assessed is the difference between $80 and the actual |5 per cent. And except for a few indoor shows, Turner never has to make up that™difference.
