More laurels were garnered by Delbert Brown, the Logansport checker champion, when he defeated nine of his twelve opponents and tied the other three contenders in the second tournament held at the Elks club last night. Mr. Dawgett, the state champ, failed to show up.
Players who were able to tie Brown last night were Fred Tam, of Pulaski; Milton Sparks of Idaville; Frank Wall, city. Brown played his twelve opponents simultaneously. Another checker tourney is to be arranged at later date by U. S. Hauck, chairman, while upon this occasion B. C. Jenkines will also make his debut when he will meet all comers at chess.
