Cornell Wins Triangular Match—Gets Rice Trophy Permanently.
At the end of the fourth round of the Triangular Chess League tournament, held at the rooms of the German Press Club in the last four days, Cornell's team was victorious yesterday for the third consecutive year, half a point ahead of the team of the University of Pennsylvania. Charles L. Rand, of Brooklyn, and James R. Mitchell, of New York, the members of the winning team, scored 2½ points each. Under the terms of the deed of gift the trophy presented by Isaac L. Rice, of New York, becomes the permanent property of Cornell. Pennsylvania won this in the first contest, but since then it has been captured by the Ithacans.
The final round began at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, with the players paired in the following order: Rand (B.), vs. Addleman (P.), Smyth (P.) vs. Hicks (B.), Mitchell (C.) vs. Easton (B.). According to the score of the tournament, Cornell needed only one point to win. Both Rand and Mitchell, therefore, played for a draw and succeeded in attaining their object.
