CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP OF WORLD.
RETENTION BY DR.
ALEKHINE,"
RUGBY ABOLISHED IN ITALY.
UNSUITED TO THE LATIN TEMPERAMENT.:
After two seasons of Rugby foot- ball the president of the Italian Rugby Federation has asked Signor Turati whether "the federation might be dissolved and the game discontinued in Italy.
Dr. A. Alekhine retains the Chess Championship of the World, his match with E. D. Bogoljubow having been finished at Wiesbaden last month, when the 25th game was drawn. This game was played again after having been adjourned. It was Signor Turati himself who, Alekhine had slightly the best of as president of all the sports federa- the position when the game was tions in Italy, introduced the game adjourned, but Bogoljubow was two years ago. A special coach was able to equalize, and even turn the brought to Italy from Wales, and position slightly to his own ad- the first match between the Milan vantage. This advantage, however, and Brescia teams in Rome roused was not sufficient to win, and Alek a good deal of interest, mostly, hina was able to bring about the j however, on account of the rough draw in 61 moves. Renter's cor- play which seemed to be associated respondent also sends a correction with the players' first ideas of the concerning the 24th game, which game. It seems that this persistent "the non- was a French Defence and not a failing. described as Ruy Lopez. na at first stated. sporting attitude of many of the players," has led the federation to ask for abolition.
The request has been granted." and the four existing teams in Milan, Brescia, Genos, and Rome are to be dissolved. Doubtless all the energies of the Sports Federa- tion will now be concentrated on
The first arrangements for the match were that 30 games were to be played, Alekhine having won II games to the five of Bogoljubow, with nine games drawn. With only five games to be played out of the original 30, Bolojubow had no. chance of even equalizing, and so one of the most curious matches inthe new national game of "volata,” the history of world chess chama cross between Rugby and Ass0-
pionships has come to an end.
That Alekhine would win was foregone conclusion, judging by all one knew of the form of both players, but Bogoljubaw has the satisfaction of knowing he has in- ficted more defeats on Alekhine than the latter has ever suffered in any previous match. The games themselves have been a curious mix ture of good and bad play, the latter predominating in the earlier stages of the match. Such games as the first and fourth contain ex- amples of entire disregard of the accepted standards of good play, such as Bogoljubow's P-B 3 for his 10th move in the first game, a move which both would certainly unhesi- tatingly condemn if they were com- menting on a similar position. In many other games, Bogoljubow's play has cut right across the usual dictum that a break open "of the defence of the king's side should be avoided, and he lost more than. one game by disregarding this dic-
tum..
ciation football but a considerably simpler game than Rugby.
MEN'S DRESS REFORM.
THE "BYRON" COLLAR.
The Men's Dress Reform Party in London has issued the "report of a committee which has consider ed designs for practical dress re- form. The members of the com- mittee do not put forward fixed and final views, and they submit that the dress reform movement should have as one of its aims the encouragement of a greater "range of individual style than is possible with men's present sterotyped costumes.
The committes contend that the collar and tie combination is the most objectionable feature of pre- sent conventional dress, and recom mend a collar leaving the neck more free. The so-called "Byron" collar, the report states, meets all needs of asthetics, convenience, and hygiene, and is proving more and more acceptable to many people" It is not suggested that the tie should be sacrificed altogether, and the BAY that Byron
