Lasker 1st, Capablanca 2nd As Chess Tournament Ends
New York, April 18.—The final round of Masters' Chess tournament came to a close last night with Dr. Emanuel Lasker well established in the leadership. The prize winners were Dr. Emanuel Lasker, first; Jose R. Capablanca, second; Alexander Alekhine, third; Frank Marshall, fourth, and Richard Reti, fifth.
The following were the results of last night's matches:
Dr. Emanuel Lasker won from Marshall, Maroczy defeated Yates, Reti defeated Janowski, Alekhine and Tartakower drew and Capablanca defeated Bogoljubov.
The fight for third and fourth prizes between Alexander Alekhine and Frank J. Marshall was the feature of the final round yesterday. First and second places were safely in the hands of Dr. Emanuel Lasker and Jose R. Capablanca.
Alekhine and Marshall started their games as if ready to venture anything for the needed wins. Marshall and Dr. Lasker chose the Ruy Lopez opening, and on the sixth move the American master forced an exchange of queens, with an incidental loss of a pawn. This gave him a strong position, but as the game developed, the German champion balanced accounts, and at recess they were in an even position.
