"IT'S - YOUR 'MOVE" The Morning Call's Chess and Checker Column Problems, Games, Positions in End Games and News Items Will Be Welcomed ' W. H. STECKEL. Editor World Champion in New York Enthusiasts on the Pacific coast are strong in the hope that Dr. Alexander Alekhine of Paris, whose entry was announced by them some time ago, will reach Pasadena in time for the opening of the California Chess Congress on August 15.
Confirmation of the intention of the world champion to meet more than half way was con-. tained in a dispatch from Paris, announcing that it was his plan after finishing the schedule of games in the international tournament at Berne, to connect with the steamship Aqui- tania at Cherbourg. If all goes well, the champion will land in New York during the first week in August. He will tarry long enough to give an exhibition of his skill, if this can be arranged at that iime of the year. In Chicago, too, he expects to stop Dff for the purpose of renewing his acquaintance With devotees of the Windy City, while there he will consult with M. S. Kuhns. president of the National Chess Federation, concerning the World's Fair Chess Congress in that city next year. Dr. Alekhine may attend that gathering, at any rate, it is his wish to do so.
Meanwhile members of the general committee of the California Chess Congress are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to make possible an unqualified success. The stern business of raising funds is proceeding apace and, while they are not yet over the top, satisfactory progress is reported (Brooklyn Eagle.). Bound for the scene of the California Chess Congress, Isaac Kashdan, brilliant young New Yorker from last accounts was in Chicago where he played against seventeen opponents at the Chicago Chess and Bridge club, winning thirteen games, drawing two and losing two. - The city planned a performance on a large scale under the auspices of the National Chess Federation and the Chicago Chess League. Kashdan"s itinerary calls for stops at Minneapolis, Omaha, St. Louis, Denver and Billings, Mont., where he is due on June 30. Subsequently, he will head for Seattle, -to spend two or three weeks with friends before proceeding southward. In due course he will reach his goal there to contest for international hon-' ors along with Dr. Alexander Alekhine, Frank J. Marshall, William E. Napier, Samuel Reshevsky, Arthur W. Dake, Samuel Factor, Reuben Fine, Fred Reinfeld, Jacob Bernstein. A. J. Fink, John Tippin and Harry Borochow.
A match of three games have been contested recently between A. E. San-tasiere and A. C. Simonson of the Marshall Chess club.
The first and third were" won by Santasiere and the second by Simonson. A match of six games up has been announced by the Marshall Chess club between two of its outstanding stars, Fred Reinfeld, state champion, and A. Edward Santasiere, who has twice held the club title and as often the state title. Frank J. Marshall will act as referee.

Regardless of how It affects other masters, some of whom have felt a bit surfeited, chess does not become stale with the passing of the years, as far as Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch, of Munich is concerned.
Only last March, Germany's "grand old man" of chess celebrated his 70th birthday, but his keenness for the game, which has made him world famous, show no abatement During the meeting of the Chess Association of Lower Saxony, held at Bad Nenndorf in May, Dr. Tarrasch took a hand in the Master's tournament, playing in group B. He finished first with a score of 4Vx-i. He was not eligible for any of the usual honors that go to first place, so Matthai of Hanover, second in the group, earned the privilege of playing for the title in the finals. A match of six games up has been arranged between R. S. Goerlich, of Bethlehem, and C. Koch of this city. This looks like an evenly contested match. , The Castle and Franklin Chess clubs met in the third of a series of team matches on -Monday evening with each having a score of four wins and four losses.
The previous matches ended in a victory for each team by the score of 5-3. R. Rockel of the Castle club, saved his team from defeat by scoring two victories over S. Wells and E. Kahler, playing these men simultaneously.
