MILLER, Jr. ROUND No. 3 of the District championship tournament for the feminine crown will be played tonight at 8 o'clock at the Parkside Hotel, it Is announced by Chairman Maud Sewall, who is conducting the tourney under the auspices of the Metropolitan Chess Association. No further entries will be received at this date and the current players will proceed to engage In a single round robin to close on or by July 1 unless unforeseen delays in match play develop.
So far the matches have been played with dispatch and Mrs. E. R. Shepard with five victories and no losses is the favorite. Edel Kittredge, Vivian Jeflers, Anna Bran—all are in a position to make creditable scores.
M. Fitzgerald is one of the dark horses. Mary Owens, Maud Sewall and Charlotte Hallett have not been playing with their accustomed nonchalance and point-registering style, but the remaining rounds of the field of eight may have some surprises. Reynolds Challenges Knox. JN NUMBER of official matches won in the individual interscholastic championship battle of the District, Robert Knojc and William Reynolds are pre-eminent and the “Y” Trophy and medal award will be resolved between these two sterling students of Caissa's pastime.
Knox was graduated from Central in midyear and Reynolds receives his sheepskin this month. Both boys are champions of the fnterhigh Chess Association, Central High, and each has served as team captain to win the I. S. Turover Trophy, emblematic of interhigli team supremacy. Reynolds requested the president of the Metropolitan Chess Association to extend to Knox an official challenge for a play-off for the "Y” Trophy Saturday evening last and if arrangements are completed, tht youthful “chess masters” will lock horns in a title fray this week end at the Social Chess Lounge. Plans also are being made for a Summer collegiate tournament among the class A players of the several local universities and colleges. Interested college players should file their names with Mae Metropolitan Chess Association, Parkside Hotel. Cheaspourri. AMERICA’S international team, to be entered in the August F. I. D. E World team matches at Stockholm, probably will be the strongest delegation of them all. Capt. Frank Marshall will be supported by Reuben Fine, Samuel Reshevsky, Isaac Kashdan and Israel Horowitz, acknowledged as leading national and international masters.
Perhaps the Hamilton-Russell Trophy will come to the shores of the U. S. A. for the fourth consecutive time. The Americans have the greatest chess quintets in the world, as the three team tournaments of the Federation Internationale des Echecs in the past conclusively have proved.
Herman Steiner, chess columnist for the Los Angeles Times was seriously injured in a head-on collision near Ventura, Calif., last week. Dr. Robert B. Griffith, ardent promoter of the North American Correspondence Chess League of America, was killed.
