Snows The Under
Chess Champion Wins 38 of 41 Simultaneous Games
Chess players of the Southern Tier still are nursing their wounds after a mass assault on the national rapid transit champion at the IBM Field House.
James E. Sherwin, the champion, took on 41 hopefuls in simultaneous play and beat 38 of them, losing only to John Gerhart of Oneonta and playing two draws.
Chester L. Hinaman of 216 Oakdale Road, Oakdale, the Broome County champion, managed one of the drawn games during five hours of play, which ended at 1:30 a.m. Saturday.
Mr. Sherwin, a 26-year-old New York City attorney, also was held to no decision by Frederick E. Bartholy of 54 Orton Avenue, a patent attorney who was the winner of the last IBM Chess Club guest tourney.
The IBM Chess Club was host for the matches. Club officials said Mr. Sherwin achieved an unusually high percentage of wins for simultaneous play.

Bartholy County Chess Champion
Fingernail biting nominees awaiting their fate at the hands of the voter-today might well be envious of Fred Bartholy.
Mr. Bartholy, an Ansco patent engineer, has his victory in the bag.
He won the recent Broome County chess championships, edging Harold Evans, former upstate New York champion.
Mr. Evans spoiled a perfect score for Mr. Bartholy by holding the new champion to an 80-move draw in one game.
Chester L. Hinaman of Johnson City, Broome County champion in 1954 and 1959, placed third.
Bernard Gawley, a 14-year-old West Junior high school student, won the junior title with a 4-2 record, after failing to win a single match last year.
