L.A.A.C. Team Loses To Yiddish Team
The Yiddish team was guest of the L.A.A.C. on the 10th inst. and scored a victory of 5½-2½. This leaves three teams tied for first place, namely, L.A.A.C, L.A. Chess and Checker Club and the Yiddish Club, provided the L.A. Chess and Checker Club wins against Long Beach and L.A.A.C. against Caltech. In the event of a triple tie, there will be a play-off for the title. It is interesting to note that the State champion, Harry Borochow, played on third board. Was that strategy? We wonder!
The pairings are as follows:
Yiddish C.C. L.A.A.C. 1. N. Light . . . . 0 H. Steiner . . . . 1 2. I. Spero . . . . 1 R. Lyon . . . . . 0 3. H. Borochow . . ½ Dr. R.B. Griffith ½ 4. L. Millstein . . 1 E. Everett . . . . 0 5. J. Weinzimer . . 1 W. Pinney . . . . 0 6. M. Freed . . . . 0 L.W. Chase . . . . 1 7. J. Harrison . . 1 Dr. C. Gummess . . 0 8. Dr. E.G. Peters 1 Dr. L.W. Hoerber . 0
The visiting team had the white on the odd number of boards. The L.A. Chess and Checker Club won against the Pasadena Chess Club, 5-3; Exposition Chess Club won against Caltech, 8-0.
