“1 vis.it a Soccer match once a season to keep my disgust fresh,” declares an English writer, who contends that in time -Rugby will completely oust Soccer fr-ovn public favour. In an article written in reply to this amazing statement, Trevor Wignall, one of the best known of English sporting critics, says that t lions and s of Soccer players could not be; chloroformed into watching a Rugby match, but there is. scarcely a Rugger enthusiast of his acquaintance who does not occasionally go to a Soccer match. “There will be whiskers- on the mo-on before Rugger abolishes Soccer,” lie says.
The next world chess- champion will be am American, in the opinion of Dr. Alexander Alekhine, present holder of the title. “1 have watched the- younger players of every nation in Europe,” he -said, “but I do- not see among them the promise of a. really great player. Mv choice is the young American, Isaac KttsJulan. Kashdan plays a great game. His- style is similar to that of Capa-hlan-ca—safety- first. If he keeps on as he Nias started, he will one day be the world champion player.”
