CHESS According to last reports no deci sion had been reached In the Pennsylvania State Championship Tour nament. As our readers may recall, according to our previous report Sharp had a clear score, no losses and no drawn games. Drasin had lost one and Hesse had lost one. In the semi-final drawings Sharp was paired against Drasin and Hesse drew a bve. After several hours' play the Sharp-Drasin game was adjourned to be finished later.
According to report, the position was fairly even at the adjournment. Isaac L. Kashdan has returned to this country and possibly may take Dart in the Championship Tourna ment of the Manhattan Chess Club. Last year-, as our readers recall, Kashdan captured first prize and the championship. We understand that a National Exposition is planned to take place at Chicago in 1933; that a committee on games has been appointed, and it is expected that an international tournament may be held In Chicago in that year.
