Defeats 11 Opponents In Marshall Club's Rapid-Transit Event By HERMANN HELMS Clean scores at rapid-transit chess are the exception rather than the rule, because a careful appraisal of the ever-changing posi tions under a time limit of ten sec onds to a move is next to impos sible. Good positional Judgment is the main factor and this advantage is possessed in full measure by Matthew Green, one-time varsity-player for City College. As one of 12 in the weekly speed tournament at the Marshall Chess Club, Green accomplished the feat of defeating every one of his 11 opponents. Rivise is Runner-up A Brooklyn player, Irving Rivise, who claims New York U.

as his alma mater, was the runner-up with the excellent score of 9's l'i, whiqjh. ordinarily would have been good enough to net him first. No one but Green was able to win from him. Eugene Kallen, also an New York U. alumnus, scored 6H 414 and tied for third place with Irving Heitner, who, a year ago, held the amateur championship of Philadelphia.

Edward S. Jackson national amateur champion, scoring 8 '4 won the tournament at the Manhattan Chess Club. Heitner was second with 814 Others, placed were H. Helms, 84, and John Solan, 6'i 5 VI. A similar contest is scheduled for this evening.

Tomorrow night at the Marshall Chess Club Frank J. Marshall, following a talk on the openings, will take on all comers in simultaneous play. Donald Sibbett of Brooklyn. Michael Neckermann, Henry Nat-tens and Philip B. Driver of Philadelphia were winners in the opening round of Group A in the Summer tournament started at the Marshall Chess Club.

The Atlantic and classes will support the Internationals in prying off the lid and although the three races over the weekend do not count in the title series, a fairly large turnout is expected.

One race will be sailed Saturday afternoon and two on Sunday, The Internationals will sail for the James Sparkman Trophy and the Atlantics will vie for a trophy donated by Harry Maxwell. The class will tune up for the championships which open next weekend. Frank E. Campbell, Star Class title holder has donated a prize for the combined Saturday and Sunday series, to be known as the Season Trophy for the International Class. The results will be reckoned by averaging all the fractions of the Saturday and Sunday standings and not by a combination of the two final results.

Commander Ernest Stavey, assistant secretary of the Long Island Sound YRA reported today the receipt of more than 60 entries for the championships. This assures a successful season. At this time last year less than 50 pledges had been received. The New York Athletic Club's yachting department will be the first on the Sound to observe the opening of the season. On Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock, Commodore Albert F.
