BY PAUL J. MILLER. Jr. EXCITING is not the word descriptive of chess matches, according to the anticipated opinion of Jawn Public, but the opening team clashes last evening between aujgtets from Paul Morphy Chess Club, Government Printing Office, Agriculture Chess Club and the Ladies’ Chess Club were packed with thrills and spills from the initial play to the finish, when Mrs. H. E. Kittredge of the amazons stoutly contested her game with Sturges of the Aggies to the very last move, thus giving the District championship team tournament a baptism of fire. Both the Morphy and Agriculture clubs literally mowed down their opposition to register whitewash victories of five point# each. Individual scoring by teams: Nil Marshy C. C. n.
