Chess Notes.
Franklin F. Russell, chess champion of the New York University, won every game in his simultaneous exhibition given before the members of the Woman's Chess club at the Hotel Martha Washington. He was opposed by seven members of the club, of whom a number played more than one game.
Jose R. Capablanca has merged from his match at pan and move odds with G. J. Beihoff at the rooms of the Manhattan Chess club, winner by the score of 5½ to 1½. The Cuban champion won the first sour games straight, the fifth was drawn, the sixth won by Beihoff and the seventh scored by Capablanca.
Of the seven masters invited to participate in the masters championship tournament at Hamburg in July, Carl Schlechter of Vienna, Dr. S. Tarrasch, of Nureberg, and S. Rubinstein, of Lodz, Russia, have notified the committee of the German Chess association of their acceptance. Dr. E. Lasker, who is in New York and will lecture in Terrace Garden, tomorrow evening, as well as G. Maroczy, of Budapest have declined. It is expected that a place will be made for J. R. Capablanca.

Played in tournament No. 11, P.N.C.C.A. Semi-Finals.
