The 1915 Scottish tourney developed a "dark horse." as the winner was Michael Boyle, a young man of 28, virtually unknown un-known outside of Glasgow, w-here the kjnowlng ones recognize his ability as a I high-class player, but scarcely expected him to sweep the rlekl so decisively.

Ijcbrrniiin. o09 Kemper building, Kansas City, Mo., will distribute the new American tourney book. It will be a dandy and you can't afford tu miss It. Samuel Severn, 6i!US .Dorchester avenue. ave-nue. Chicago, hus put out a clever and unique yet of "two-move" cards, giving the strong lines of the principal openings. open-ings. They were very popular nt the Chicago tourney and largely used in drawing tiie openings. The fourth American tourney will probably prob-ably b- he'd in Pittsburg, which has the first call. Four additional openings will be used, as only 0-14. 21-17 and 10-11. 21-17 will be barred. It Is a cieich a lot of new dope will be sprung then, as the new openings have been but little used. As expected, the stato tonruey is be- 1 coming a process-ion, with Henry Shaw far in the lead and the rest trailing. Shaw is playing hard and the precision with which hctrimmF-d Burton .shows that he v.iil make a ch.-an sweep. Keyworth ami " Barton sttih well keyed lip, the la tter showing much improvement.
