City College Chess Team In Tie With Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Chess Club narrowly escaped defeat in the Metropolitan Chess League match at the hands of City College in the fourth round Saturday night. The college lads, several of whom are Brooklynites themselves, lost at board No. 1, but made clean sweep at the next four tables. Harold Grossman, Benjamin Buss and Erling Tholfsen, all Brooklyn boys, and I. Kashdan were the winners for City college. On the other hand. F. J. Le Count, W. M. de Visser (president of the league), P. Zatulove and M. Peckar scored in behalf of the local club.
In the fourth round the Internationals, led by Copt. J. L. McCudden of Brooklyn, administered a telling defeat to the Swedish Chess Club by 7-1, without losing a game. Columbia University bumbled Slaten Island to the tune of 6½-1½, Orrin Frink Jr. of Flatbush again winning his game for the Blue and White. The champion team of the Marshall Chess Club made it four straight by defeating Newark, 5½-2½.
The Rice-Progressive Chess Club had no trouble with the New York University team, winning by 6-1, with one game unfinished. In this game, Robert L. Bornholz of Brooklyn, who defeated Marshall last week, was paired against Jacob Bernstein, the New York state champion. At adjournment, the position was fairly even.
