YUGOSLAVIA is going strong in chess … after beating the United States via radio, they are now touring Europe and walloping most of the countries rather badly, just see: Switzerland was beaten in a double-round match 17-3. Sweden lost 13½ to 6. Finland went down 16-4; Holland lost 14½-5½.
August 20 the Hamilton Russeell cup will be played for again, right in Yugoslavia. Many nations will send teams (Russia is not expected!) Belgium is sending 1. O'Kelly, 2. A. Dunkelblum, 3. P. Devos, 4. R. Thibaut. Andre Janssens is first reserve. … Herman Steiner will captain the United States team.
