Chess Players Gather at Sierra Madre Today 23 Jun 1934, Sat The Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, California) Newspapers.com

Chess Players Gather At Sierra Madre Today
SIERRA MADRE, June 22, 1934. The annual trek of Southern California chess masters, enthusiasts and novices to Sierra Madre, honoring Charles Morphy, international chess wizard of a century ago, will be held tomorrow, when the Sierra Madre Chamber of Commerce and city officials hold the fifth annual Morphy Day program of chess play. This year, a spectacular lecture-demonstration of one of the Morphy games will be staged on the lawn of Sierra Madre City Park, with costumed children serving as chess pieces. Herman Steiner, international chess expert and chess editor of The Times, will explain the significance of the strategy of the famous Morphy moves. Mrs. Frances Eakman, writer and dramatist, will direct the children.
An eleven-hour program has been arranged by members of the Sierra Madre Chess Club, starting at 1 p.m. with simultaneous and casual games and occasional lectures. Early afternoon matches will include a women's team match, with Mrs. Elizabeth Hillman, Pasadena, captaining five women opposing Mrs. S. Wolf of Los Angeles and a team of five women.
