' The City Checker and Chess club's nn-jiiual nn-jiiual general meeting will ho held In the IY. AX. C A. on September 8, at 8 p. m;, for the purpose of electing officials, and also admitting new members. Arrangements Arrange-ments will also bo made for the season's checker and chess tournament. N. H. Burton, the' city champion, still remains In undisputed possession of the McCdnnghy challenge silver oup. It is likely,, however, he will be kept busy defending de-fending the trophy during the present season. The world's title Is still vacant since the death of Richard Jordan of Scotland. James Ferrle, champion of Scotland, who wrested the title from tho famed Herd Laddie (James Wyllie). but subsequently lost it to the late R. Jordan, Is tho only living player who has ever held the title of champion of the world. A match for tho title between J. Ferrle and Robert Stewart, Jr., would undoubtedly settle the title of world's champion for some time, to come. August J. Hoffner of Boston, Bos-ton, Mass., and James Searlght of Scotland Scot-land have both retired from the gamo, or they probably would have bad some say In the disposal of the world's title. |
