Dare Barkuloo, Chess Star, Home From France
Private Dare Barkuloo, former state champion chess player of Minnesota, returned yesterday from 14 months' service in the army in Panama.
Barkuloo was champion four consecutive years but lost the title last February because of his absence. Chess enthusiasts are attempting to arrange a special match between him and Dr. J. Klein, state champion, Minneapolis.
The return of the former champion is expected to revive interest in the chess game. The annual tournament will be held at Minneapolis February 22, 1920.
