Editor Kudolph Spielmar.n cf Vienna, Austria's outstanding representative In . international chess, feeling himsell flighted at not being invited to participate in the masters' tournament to be held next month at Berne, Switzerland, has come out with an arraignment of the Dr Alexander Alekhinc of Paris, world chess champion since the latter's defeat of Jose It. Capablanca at Buenos Aires in 19-7. It seems that the list cf competitors wiil be limited to sixteen, ten rf whom will be Swiss experts and th remaining six foreirners. It is Epiclm-r.n's ccnwlaint that he was emitted end he maintains that, had Dr. Ahkhine wined it. the committee in E:rns would have included him.
Not long ago Dr. Alekhlne visited Switzerland and on thr.t occasion carried on rc?ctiitions with the mzn-rcmcnt, but it wrs understood that these had to do merely with the terms of his own n?rticipition. Whether or not he owned snyth?n; to Spielmenn in this conn?ciicn or if it was in his pov.-er r effect any ch-'ngps in th pro-ran i-s 'om3'.hing nobody is sure of,' but which K-ielmann takes for In rdc'iticn to tlut the Auslrinn expert ar-?rts thet Dr. Alekhine. by pdcptinrr a shifting rcale of charpes fcr his rervicc?.

It recalled in this connection that when the committee of the New Yori tournament of 1027 invited E. D. Eosoljubow, the victor at Moscow, he demanded a fee of $1,500 in addition to all traveling and hotel expenses.
He was quite within his rights in making this claim, but so was the committee in its refusal of it. The upshot of it all was that Bcgoljubow did not come to New York. Insufficiency of funds, of course, was the underlying cause.

Other directors are Edward Cornell, Edward B. Edwards and John B. Kelly. Three games have been played so far in the recently announced match between R. S.

Reubln Fine, eighteen-year-old champion of the Marshall Chess club gave a simultaneous exhibition on June 24 at the Scranton Chess club. Mr. Fine played twenty-three men, making a remarkable record of 21 wins and two losses. Although all the players on the Pacific Coast have counted on the participation of Frank J.
