Capital city newspaper provide "Chess News and Comment" column, edited by W.H. Mutchler
Games:
J.W. Byler vs J. Roberts 1-0, Queen's Gambit Declined
R.F. Lovell vs E.M. Knapp 1/2-1/2, Vienna Opening
C.H. Stephensson vs F.B Walker 0-1, Center Counter Gambit / Scandinavian Defence
All games from The annual match of the Departemen of the Interior versus Departmen of Agriculture, Washintong 1922. Read the report in the article for details on players and comments. Since all were amateur players, I am not converting this into game viewer.
Reports:
- Chase Defeats Hale - report about their local Capital City Chess Club ladder tournament.
