A. A. U.’s Second Class B Tournament. Knickerbocker A. C., N. Y. City, December—300 points, 14:2. This and all later ones given under authority of the A. A. U. were not strictly invitation tournaments, the box-office being open to the public. A. G. Cutler’s run of 74 does not properly belong to this series of games, having been accomplished by reason of his preliminarily playing in more games than some others. Threshie, Smith and Kellogg’s singles are winning ones.
