Champion In Lighter Mood.
Prior to his return to New York recently, Jose R. Capablanca gave an exhibition against 25 opponents at Havana. There he played in a lighter mood and he enjoyed himself quite as much as the audience. One of the amateurs opposed to him received short shrift at the hand of the world champion in the following neat little game.
