Juniors Play The Penn.
The Juniors played a little team match of three games against the Penn Chess Club, a coterie of enthusiastic amateurs who meet at 1927 Chestnut street Tuesday evenings.
Result of play was:

    Juniors.                Penn.
J. W. Young ........ 1   H. B. B. Finn ....... 0
J. P. Morgan ....... 1   F. S. Cross ......... 0
W. H. Schultz ...... 1   C. C. Pettit ........ 0

In the Junior Tourney.

7. Mr. Young believes P to Q4 to be also very interesting.
9. Well wiggled.
14. Mr. Bampton's friends will be pleased with this coup de repos.
17. With grave intentions on the king's pawn.
23. On the wing, but black's centre pawns are not to be sneezed at.
24. In observance of the time-honored maxim that an enemy's pawn is often a greater protection than your own.
29. Losing the exchange, but, as Mr. Young observes, it is difficult to find a good move.
31. And black finally won.
