Chess 21 Sep 1913, Sun The Philadelphia Inquirer (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Newspapers.com
We have just received an interesting communication from Stasch Mlotkowski, who is now residing in Los Angeles, Cal. He has recently played a match with C. H. Whipple, one of the leading players of California. The match was won by Mlotkowski by the score of 3 to 0. After this match Mlotkowski announced his withdrawal from chess, in order to devote all his time to his business engagements. We hope next week to publish one of the games of this series. Mr. Mlotkowski has the best wishes of all his Philadelphia friends for his future success, and they will hear with much regret his determination to withdraw from the game. Once a chess player, always a chess player, is an old motto, and we believe it will apply in the present case. It will be a great pity for a player of Mr. Mlotkowski's ability and talent to give up playing chess. It is a delightful recreation and there is no reason why an occasional game should in any way interfere with his business engagements. We presume Mr. Mlotkowski means to state that he will not in the future take part in important tournaments or matches.
The following game was contested in the quadrangular tournament now being played at the Progressive Chess Club, New York:
The following game was played a short time ago at Vienna. The winner is one of the rising players of Austria and gives promise of becoming a great master.
