The one remaining game of the local club's 1930 major tourney, preliminary section, is scheduled for today between Bierwirth and Patterson. Last week Patterson won an adjourned game with Sawyer. Bierwirth won an adjourned game with Gibbs. With one game to be finished the standings of the five leaders who will carry their scores over into the finals are, Borochow and Scholtz, 8-2 each; Patterson 7-2; Bierwirth 6-3; Gibbs 6-4. The individual game between the two leaders is shown here. Contains a pretty knight sacrifice. Doc Scholtz says he'll get even in the finals.
