Death of Le Count Shocks.
One of the most active of the members of the Brooklyn Chess Club and until last Saturday a regular visitor to its headquarters at 26 Court st., will play there no more. Suddenly Sunday morning, shortly after breakfast, Francis J. Le Count, club champion in 1925, died of acute indigestion. The news was a severe shock to his fellow members, who were represented by Walter Underlain and Louis J. Wolff at the funeral services held Tuesday at McCaw's Funeral Chapel in Richmond Hill. A handsome wreath from the club testified to the esteem in which the late chairman of the house committee was held. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery.
The club championship was achieved by Le Count after a tie with P. Zatulove, another title holder, whom he defeated by 2½-1½. He also frequently held the captaincy of his class and was a valued member of the club's Metropolitan League teams. A native of Brooklyn, he was born here on Nov. 11, 1890. By profession he was a statistician. He is survived by his mother, a brother and a sister.
