Bernstein Striving For Place in Final 16 Apr 1936, Thu The Brooklyn Daily Eagle (Brooklyn, New York) Newspapers.com
BERNSTEIN STRIVING FOR PLACE IN FINAL
Sidney Bernstein of Brooklyn, competing in Group C of the United States championship preliminaries at the Empire City Chess Club, is making a bold bid for second place in that section, the successful achievement of which praiseworthy endeavor will entitle him to play in the grand finals for the title. Among those he defeated were Steve Karandy and Morris Fish.
G. Osterman was grooming for a high place in Group D at the Queens Chess Club, when he ran afoul of W. M. P. Mitchell of Brooklyn, Mass., erstwhile Harvard varsity player, who scored a well-earned victory.
