The American universities defeated the English in the fourth international chess match held at the Boston Athletic Association Friday and Saturday by the score of 4 1-2 to 1 1-2 games. Although the match was closely fought throughout, the Americans after the first day of playing clearly had the advantage.
On Friday Adams of Yale was defeated by Roome of Oxford, Rice of Harvard and Keeler of Columbia were even with their opponents, and Sawin of Yale, Sewall of Columbia, and Hunt of Princeton had an advantage.
