The International Pasadena tournament was concluded last week. As expected, Alekhlne captured first place, although he was not successful In finishing without a loss. Arthur W. Dakc, the brilliant young player of Portland, Ore, proved the stumbling blook for the Russian champion. Dake, having the Wlilt pieces, was met with the Cairo Kann Defense adopted by Alekhine.
Dake played rapidly, holding his own throughout the opening and middle game. In the ending a slight miscalculation by Alekhine was promptly taken advantage of by his youthful adversary, who Anally scored the game In 38 moves. Alekhine's loss of 24 points was made up as follows: Lost to Dake, I'i points; drew with Factor. '4 point; drew with Reinfeld, 'i point; drew with Fine, point. Isaac Kashdan, the New York champion, who is one of the strongest players in America, secured second place, only one point behind Alekhine.
Kashdan also only lost one game, but that game, unfortunately, was with Alekhine. Had he succeeded In drawing with Alekhine, Alekhine and Kashdan would have tied for first. The final score of all the players follows: Won. Lost. Alekhine 8'j 2 '-a Kashdan 7'j 34 Dake 6 5 Reshefsky 6 5 Steiner " C 5 Borochow 64 34 Bernstein 5 a Factor 5 6 Fine 5 6 Reinfeld 5 6 Aralza ..' 34 74 Fink 3 8 Mir Sultan Khan, East Indian chess expert, regained the championship ot the Britsh Chess Federation by winning the annual tournament from a field of twelve with score of 8424.

The following game and Interesting Introduction by Herman Helms, we are sure, will be thoroughly appreciated by our readers.
For sheer excitement the encounter between Captain Araisa, of Mexico, and Dr. Alekhine, in thcthird round, farried off the palm. Inside of twelve months both Kings were standing on K2. with Queens still on the board. Presently these were CHESS AND " BY WALTER PES exehanged to the great relief of the exposed monarch.
Threupon Mexico's representative advanced on the King's side of the board and Dr. Alekhine did likewise on the opposite wing. . V Both succeeded in breaking through. The champion was so hard pressed that he gave up a Knight to make a loophole for the King.
The queening of a Pawn sealed the fate of Captain Araiza. Dr. Alekhine's game with A. J. Fink, of San Francisco, was short and sweet and the Ponsianl opening, adopted by the latter, was demolished with thoroughness and dispatch.
