Both the Franklin Chess Club and the Mercantile Library Chess Cluo are looking forward to inaugurating tournaments to start this fall. At the present time the writer cannot definitely state when the two prize funds of $125 each, bequeathed by the will of the late Harris J. Chil ton, will be received. As our readers may recall, these prize funds are to paid annually to the chess clubs mentioned for the award of prizes open to all members of each club in the following proportions: First prize, $75; second, $30; thirl, $20. Tournaments u start In October or November of each year and to be known as the Harris J. Chilton Tournaments. "The prizes to be described in an Inscription to be placed upon them as the Harris J. Chilton Prize." As before mentioned, the adjudi cation of Judge Lamarelle sustained the two prize funds above. Several exceptions have been niea to the adjudication, but these ex ceptions did not relate to the Harris J. Chilton Chess Tournament Fund.
Probably, however, the ex ceptions filed will have to be argued and the decision or tne orpnans Court in banc filed before the sched ule of distribution will be prepared by the trustee under the will of Harris J. Chilton. We note with egret that Leonard B. Meyer, who nas been president for several years past or the Manhattan Chess Club, has felt obliged to resign his post on account of pressure of business affairs. Charles B. saxon, former uoium- bia varsity player, was elected to fill the vacancy. The present address of the Manhattan Chess Club is 135 W. 70th St., New York City, although the club contemplates moving shortly. niw nf nnr rpadprs. Willard Par ker, of 1829 N. 13th St., Philadel-nhia stntps t.haf. hf has a VOunc chess prodigy, William Jones, 7 years oi age. inai ne wouia ukc to arrange a match for this youth mith tnmp nthpr bov of about the same age, a suitable prize for the winner to oe provided. , Miss Vera Menchik, a Russian by birth, but who has lived in England nearly all her life and acquired all her chess knowledge in the English clubs, came within half a point of tying for first place in a major open tournament or tne uritisn Chess Federation held recently ln London. Twelve players entered.
O. Koltanowskl, of Belgium, captured first place with a score of 9Vi to V,i, while Miss Menchik was sec ond with a score of 9 to 2. up to the present date Miss Menchik is the only woman ho has ever succeeded ln ranking with the first- class players of Europe. Naturally, she could not be classified as rank ing with Emanuel Lasker, J. R. Capablanca or A. Alekhlne, but with the other leading European players her rank would probably correspond with the average strength of the first twenty of the foreign masters. We are advlrd that a young Rus sian girl, Sonja Graf, a resident of Munich, recently captured first prize in a woman tournament held CHESS AND BY WALTER 1 at Vienna and gives promise of ranking higher w.thln the next few years. We give below the game between G. Koltanowskl and Miss Menchik that enabled the Belgium expert to win first prize by half a point.
Had this game been drawn the two players would have tied.
