On June 19, 1937, Isaac Kashdan gave a simultaneous exhibition at the Capital City Chess Club, Washington, D. C., winning sixteen, drawing none, and losing only to Martin Stark. The following day, at the home of A. W. Fox, there was a consultation game with Kashdan, W. K. Wimsatt, Sr., and V. L. Eaton playing the white pieces, opposed to Mugridge, Stark, Ponce (the new district champion,) and Knapp. The result was a carefully played draw.
