These clubs are paired in the next round, so that in our column on May 8 we hope to give the result. We note a report that Dr. Alekhine has complained of the attitude of many English players In reference to his having failed to meet Jose R. Capablanca in a return 'match. Whether this report Is or is not well founded, there is no question but that many noted players are of the opinion that Alekhlne has until comparatively1 recently failed in any way to assist those who have tried ever since Alekhlne defeated Capablanca at Buenos Aires to bring about a return match. Capablanca and his friends have taken all reasonable steps to arrange such a match and the fact that this has not been accomplished was due apparently to Dr. Alekhine's desire to avoid risking his title in a return match with the great Cuban player.
The following is the present standing in the Consultation Team Match Tournament now being contested at the Mercantile Library: Won, Levin-Weiner 3 Lost. 0 14 14 2 14 24 0 Ruth-Winkelman 24 Drasin-ReEen 14 Park-Gordon 1 Beurler-Oedance 4 Martinez-Huntsberger.. 4 Bauder-DiMartino ,,,, 0 CHESS AND Bt WALTER The following is one of the games played In the recent match between Spielmann and Bogoljubow. The game will be found of Interest to the student on account of White's fifth move In the Ruy Lopes, namely: Q-K2 in place of R-Ksq. This continuation was a favorite of Bird's, the English master, many years ago, but for the past 25 years R-Ksq has generally been considered the stronger continuation.
However, Q-K2 has many advantages and unless correctly answered Black may readily find himself in difficulties. R. Spielmann E. D.
