The Pennsylvania State champion ship has not as yet been determined. As we stated two weeks ago, after the preliminary rounds had been played, Sydney T. Sharp led with six straight wins and no lossess. S. Drasin, 5', a wins and V loss; H. V, Hesse, of Bethlehem, 5 wins, 1 loss. In the play-off Sharp defeated Dra sin, leaving the first and second prizes to be decided. Sharp met Hesse on March 12 and although Sharp had only to draw In order to win first place, Hesse put up a re mnrkable fight, scoring a win. Play will be continued Saturdays until Sharp or Hesse ,has scored a clear win, draws not counting. Sharp in this tournament, won from K. Richter, R. S. Goerlich, J. Rappaport, J. S. DuBols. B. F. Wtnkelman, J. Gordon and S. Drasin, while Hesse won from W. H. St.eckel, J. P. Stoner, W A. Ruth, J. M. Levy, S. Drasin and S. T. Sharp. He lost to J. Gordon. There is some talk of a return chess match being played this spring between teams representing the Manhattan Chess Club of New York and the Franklin Chess Club of Philadel phia. 'It is New York's turn to visit Philadelphia and Philadelphians will be very glad to entertain any team sponsored by the Manhattan Chess Club.
