The following games were contested in the pending tournament for the United States championship at the Hotel Astor.

Catalan Opening: Closed Variation (E08) 1-0
Alexander Kevitz, Manhattan Chess Club champion, works out a brilliant combination. He is unfortunate with his clock and Herman Steiner has a lucky escape. Yet the latter's coolness under fire is exemplary and worthy of imitation.
