Chess 17 Oct 1915, Sun The Philadelphia Inquirer (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Newspapers.com
The following two games were forwarded to us by Stasch Mlotkowski who now lives at Los Angeles, Cal., and were played recently in that city. Keys, the player of the White pieces in the game below, is a nephew of Mr. Keys who for so many years played at the Mercantile Library, his forte particularly being the Danish Gambit. The opening adopted by Black is one to which Mlotkowski has given special study.
Note: (a) White can also continue with B-B4 or turn the game into a variation of the Philidor by P-Q4.

It is refreshing once more to receive a good game where the Evans Gambit is actually accepted, and Black endeavors to retain the Gambit Pawn. G. A. L'Hommede was formerly of Chicago and a fine correspondence player. He took part in the Continental Correspondence Tournament and made an excellent score. He now resides in Los Angeles.
