Among the probable CHESS AND "BY WALTER PENN SHIPLEY" entries are Samuel Reshefsky, at one tirne the child marvel, now studying at the University of Chi cago; Abraham Kupchik, Frank J. Marshall, Isaao Kashdan, Arthur W. Dake and Samuel Factor. Possibly William E. Napier, formerly of Brooklyn and at one time champion of England, will take part. Mr. Napier has been active In the chess world the past few months. Dr. Alekhlne has also, we understand, accepted an invitation to play.
