CHESS PLAYERS IN MAIL MATCH
Two Moves Weekly Possible in Dayton-South Bend Game.
The Dayton Chess club has entered into a correspondence match with the chess club of South Bend, Ind., Paul J. Wortman, assistant prosecuting attorney and president of the club, announced Saturday. Moves will be sent back and forth by mail. Each club will make about two moves a week.
The match marks the beginning of a new period of activity for the club, according to Wortman. Arrangements are to be discussed at a meeting Thursday night for the bringing to Dayton of one or more master chess players to conduct exhibitions of playing eight or ten chess games simultaneously.
At this meeting, the annual election of officers will be held and a change in the by-laws probably made to separate the offices of secretary and treasurer. This joint office is now held by A. J. Van Ausdal.
New members for the club are being sought and any who are interested are invited to attend the Thursday night meeting. A free course of instruction in the fundamentals of the game of chess is given to each new member if he desires.
Plans are also to be discussed for a spring tournament to determine the chess champion of Dayton.

Paul J. Wortman
At 85, Paul J. Wortman was the second oldest school board member in Ohio, in point of years and in point of service.
Before death ended that service last Saturday, Mr. Wortman had been a member of the Dayton board of education since 1938. He had served as the board's vice president, then as its president. Also he was founder and first president of the National School Boards association.
Mr. Wortman's profession was the law. In earlier years he had served as county prosecutor. But since 1938 his single-minded dedication was to the welfare of the Dayton school system. His contribution will not be forgotten.
