BY PAUL J. MILLER, Jr. OLAND maintains its lead in the International Chess Feder ation team Olympic, now In progress at Stockholm, by the small margin of 1'2 points, the American entry being runner-up. At the close of the twelfth round of team play the United States foursome had met the Polish aggregation and trounced it by the score, with one game adjourned. For the first time since the 19 teams opened battle for the world title, Poland's entry suffered defeat, which is a fair-weather sign for the successful Americans. In the clash of the Netherlands and the United States in the thirteenth round, young Samuel Res he veky, champion of the National Chess Federation, U. S. Α., encountered Dr. Max Euwe, champion of the world, and the cagy Reshevsky, playing on the defensive, threw up a bulwark of tactics that indicated an even game as the masters adjourned play.
Capt. Frank Marshall, retired American titleholder, drew with Scheltinga of the Netherlands, while Horowitz and Kashdan adjourned their games.
