Telegraph Chess Match 07 Sep 1915, Tue The Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, California) Newspapers.com
CHESS RESULTS. Not to be outdone in the way of courtesies extended to the rival exposition cities by local organizations, the Los Angeles Chess and Checker Club yesterday followed up its recent loss of a telegraphic chess match to the Cabrillo Club of San Diego by losing another to the Mechanics' Institute Chess Club of San Francisco. To avoid unfair discrimination the scores were kept at about the same proportions, San Diego having been allowed 6½ games to 3½, and the San Franciscans 8 to 4, with three games unfinished, which are to be adjudicated by mail.
Full results follow, the San Francisco men being named first at each board, they having the move at every odd-numbered table:
