CHESS We understand Dr. Alekhlne has reached Pasadena and will take part In the international tournament scheduled to open August 15. We regret that neither J. R. Capablanca or Frank J. Marshall, the American champion, are scheduled to take part. Therefore, outside of the brilliant.Manhattan champion, Isaac Kashdan, Alekhine will be in a class by himself. We note that P. W. Sergeant, of England, has published a supplement to his third edition of Morphy's games.
The brief work gives Interesting sidelights on Morphy's history. Mr. Sergeant also gives Morphy's annotations to 15 of the games played between La Bourdou-nais and MacDonell. These games Morphy believed were in his time the finest recorded examples of chess. Morphy's notes originally were published in the New York Ledger in 1859.
An English publication states that Dr. Emanuel Lasker on July 10 left London for Hollandafter a prolonged stay in England. He contemplates producing an English edition of his Lehrbuch on the subject of "Conduct in Sport." A ineetiliff of rliesn nlavers wax held recently in Westminster, Eng land, w secure support lor the holding of an International chess tournament at Foulkstone next vear. The meetina was unanimous ly in favor of obtaining the inter- unumiHi eveni ana promises 01 financial support were forthcoming. The 79th annual report of the City of London Chess Club states that the club has lost more members than have been elected during the year.
There are now 69 regular members, 33 country members and 18 juniors. The financial difficulties, which are world-wide, are felt by all of the leading chess clubs, with the possible exception of those In Russia, which appear to have financial support from their Government. G. Stoltz. of Stockholm, recently captured first prize in the Brandenburg Chess Association held at Swinenuende. a German health resort. Stoltz in four of his games In this tournament adopted the King's Oambit, winning three and drawing one, as follows: He won from Rellstab, Brinck-mann, Samenisch and drew with Richter. We now publish his win from Rellstab.

WALTER PENN SHIPLEY-(a) A line of- play adopted many years ago in the Vienna Gambit Tournament. Black does not attempt to support his extra Pawn, but develops his game and in most cases obtains at least an even position. (b) Now that the Queens are off the board. Black concludes he is fairly well out of danger and expects shortly to recover the Pawn that he has sacrificed.
White, however, plays the ending brilliantly and wins a most interesting game. Problem No. 2837 is solved bv Q-KR7. v Problem No. 2888 is solved by B-QB2.
