Brooklyn vs. Chicago
Members of the Brooklyn Chess Club will celebrate the forthcoming holiday on Monday by contesting a match on ten boards by telegraph with the Kenwood Chess Club of Chicago, one of the most influential chess clubs of the Middle West. The clubrooms will be in constant communication by direct wire from noon until midnight New York time, which will be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in Chicago. Edward Lasker, Western champion, will head the Kenwood team which is expected to give a good account of itself.
Despite the fact that other holiday engagements will prevent some of the prominent local players from participating in the fray, the list of the Brooklyn Chess Club is quite formidable, including A. B. Hodges, Lt. F. K. Perkins, Lt. F. F. Russell, W. M. De Visser, J. W. Brunnemer, L. J. Wolff, F. J. Le Count Jr., M. A. Schapiro, O. Frink Jr., Dr. J. R. Taber, A. S. Jameson, W. S. Pitts, A. Weisbord, C. D. Franz, C. A. Neff and N. B. Webster.

Westerners in the Saddle.
It goes without saying that local chess players are disappointed over the- result of Monday's telegraph match with the Kenwood Chess Club of Chicago, which emerged victorious by 6-4. On the other hand, it shows that chess players in the West are not standing still and that the experts of Chicago especially have benefited by their activity in the league of that city. Headed by Edward Lasker, the Western champion, and backed up by such well known players as H. Hahlbohm, G. Gessner and S. R. Eisenberg, the Kenwood team was one that would hold its own against most any club in the country, barring possibly the Manhattan and I. L. Rice Progressive Chess clubs.
The work of the younger element on the Brooklyn team was particularly gratifying, the victories of J. W. Brunnemer and S. Katz being well earned. It seemed like old times to have A. B. Hodges of cable match fame playing once more over the wire from local headquarters. The former United States champion took Hahlbohm into camp after an exciting contest. The play of W. W. De Visser, president of the Metropolitan League, who sacrificed his Queen judiciously, was of marked interest. Lt F. K. Perkins, whose task it was to take on the Western champion, held Lasker down to a draw.
