STILE OF TOURNEY PL AY. TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, — I have read with intercbi, what has appeared in your column on the subject oi tl.e style of tourney play. Certainly rmieh can cc s-aid on both sides, but while I personally favour the "all-round" system, I think it lends itself toe much to collusion* between players Collusion has been suspected before, but now it is repoited that one player has openly confessed to his share in a corrupt transaction in the Wellington tourney, held in 1898. This will, I suppose, be taken up by the Xew Zeaisnd Diaughts Association at its next meeting. But the report has converted me to the style of play adopted by the Scottish Association, O'- the two-life system. I hope to see tke N.Z. Association adopt the knock-out system in some form, and so assure a result more according to merit. 1 may say that the report I allude to had no reference whatever to those who have iieid the title.— l am, etc., SHERLOCK.
