CHESS Work Is progressing satisfactorily on the proposed International Team Tournament that the British players are attempting to inaugurate, to start June 12 of next year, to be held at Folkestone. In order to make the tournament a success 700 will be needed for the expenses of the team tournament alone and an appeal has ben made by the English players to all lovers of chess for financial support. So far about 350 have been subscribed. A report comes from Stockholm of a rising Swedish chess player, G. Danielsson, who is 20 years of age and today one of the leading players of the country.
His inclusion Is certain in the next International Team Tournament to be held. We have received word from Herman Helms, address 150 Nassau st., New York City, that Dr. Alekhlne has authorized Mr. Helms to arrange an American tour starting September 25 and closing about November 17. Roughly outlined.
Dr. Alekhlne's plan is to start the tour on the Western coast, finally winding up in New York City. Clubs desiring exhibitions either simultaneous or otherwise by the master should at once communicate with Mr. Helms. The members of the German-American Chess Club were the guests of the North City Chess Club at their rooms at Broad and Chew sts. on Thursday, September 8. The German-Americans succeeded in Winning the match by the narrow margin of nine games to eight. The results of the feature games were as follows: Ger.-Amerlcan North Clly C. C. Neltshmann 14 Maguire M Muller 1 Perel 0 Metz 0 Fischer .... 1 Although the North City Chess Club was organized only four months agd, it now boasts' of a membership of over 50. The club expects to enter a fairly strong team In the Philadelphia Chess League this year. The following game shows Arthur W. Dake, the brilliant young player chance from the beginning.
Dake for the past two years has been a dashing player, probably too much so for his own good. In the present game Dake played rapidly, taking less time than his world-famous opponent and played against him with perfect confidence. In fact, If the names of the players had not been given, anyone playing over the game would have guessed that Alekhlne was handling the White forces and Dake had the defense. Alekhine never had any chanc from the beginning. Dake obtained the preferable game early In the opening and more than held his advantage until Alekhine was forced to resign.

The present move, however, was played by Alekhine in a game vs. Sultan Khan in the re cent Berne tournament, he continuing as the present until Black's 6th move, when Khan continued with B-Kt5. Probably the strongest con tiuuation for Black at this stage is tf r-KJ and the game would be followed about as follows: 7 PxP KKtxP (PxP probably stronger); 8 B-Q3, B-K2; 9-Castles; and Wnite nas tne stronger fcame.
