R. A. Scott Is Chess Champion of Alberta
Defeats A. Hill, Edmonton Title-Holder, Five Games Out of Six
Winning five out of six rounds of the tournament finals with A. Hill, Edmonton champion, R. A. Scott, of Calgary, won the chess championship when he completed the fifth victory here on Monday night. Scott proved to be vastly superior to his opponent, especially in the end play, in which the champion excelled to a marked degree.
Scott is leaving Calgary for the coast within the course of the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime he is prepared to meet any other chess player in the province who might dispute his right to the championship title. Since coming to Calgary, four years ago, Scott has never lost an event. He was at one time chess editor of The Herald and imparted some valuable instructions to chess players of the district.

Chess Championship Trophy Is Donated
Former Cup Permanently Won by R. A. Scott of This City
Owing to R. A. Scott, the Alberti champion winning the chess championship three years in succession, the cup remains his property, and the club opened the season without a cup to play for.
However, through the generosity of Moffatt Bros., jewelers of this city who have kindly presented a silver cup to the club, for open competition in the city chess championship, the players can go ahead, with the same incentive as in previous years.
This competition is open to all chess players in Calgary and district. The winner of the most games this season in the championship, will hold the cup permanently.
Competitors wishing to enter can do so by giving their names to the secretary of the Chess Club, board of trade rooms, on Monday, Wednesday or Friday at eight p.m. each night. Entries will close Saturday, November 11. It may be of interest to know that R. A. Scott will not compete, as he has left the city and now reside in British Columbia.
