CHESS BY TELEGRAPH
TEST OF ENDURANCE
Manhattan Club to Compete With Capital City Players.
With twenty of the beat players to be found in New York and Washington and ten on a side, the Manhattan Chess Club of this city and the Capital City Chess Club of Washington will contest the much talked of match by telegraph next Friday, play beginning at noon and lasting, if necessary, until midnight. Besides being a test of skill on the checkered boards, it will assume, in a way, the nature of a test of endurance, because the contestants will be tied down to their tables at each end of the wire for twelve hours straight, with the exception of an hour for supper.
The officials of the match will be: Justice Mahlon Pitney of Washington, referee; H. Helms of New York, adjudicator; A. Lazinsk of New York, umpire at Washington; William T. Miller of Boston, umpire at New York. The lists of players from which the teams will be picked are the following:
