Dr. Mills Surprises St. Paul
Eastern Chess Players Vanquished by a Man From Spokane.
Dr. C. A. Mills is winning honors for Spokane among the chess players of the east. He recently won in St. Paul eight games out of a series of nine with the best players of that city, some of whom have acquired an international reputation. One of the players, Smith, whom the doctor defeated recently in Chicago, won a series of games from Willenberg the famous victor in the last two tournaments of the Ohio Chess Club. Gillette, who lost before the Spokane player, won the last National Chess Correspondent's tournament.
The St. Paul Chess Club is piqued at the east with which the man from Spokane has beaten their crack players, and is preparing to give Dr. Mills a warm reception on his return from the east, and will find if possible someone who can recapture the laurels which the Pacific coast so easily won from them.
Dr. Mills played chess in Spokane a number of years, and never while here met his equal. He has never played in a Pacific coast tournament but has met and easily vanquished some of the best players of the sound and California.

CHAMPION AT CHESS.
Now That Dr. Mills Has Gone One Must Be Chosen.
Dr. C. A. Mills and family left this morning for Cleveland, Ohio, where they will remain for a year or two or more. Dr. Mills for several years past has been the champion chess player of Spokane and the real head and enthusiast of the local chess club. The doctor plays a game that can not be beaten by anyone in this part of the country, and his friends have claimed he is the best player on the Pacific coast, having beaten every player who has come to Spokane in the past five years, and among them some of California's crack players. A local tournament will perhaps be arranged among the players of Spokane to decide who is champion. The contest will be an interesting one, for there are a number of good players here of nearly equal standing, thought none of them could compete with Dr. Mills.

M.B. Johnson, Jr.
In the death of Malcolm B. Johnson, jr., on Thursday, the city lost one of its strongest players. Up until a year ago he had been a participant in all state and city tournaments, and while not winning any he generally gave a good account of himself. A member of the John G. White Chess Club, he also represented the City Club in its chess matches, and in 1926 won the “ladder” competition conducted by that club from among close to 30 competitors. In this tourney he did not lose game, the late Dr. Charles A. Mills being credited with a draw against him.
