Marshall to Meet Lasker. It has been announced that Dr. Emanuel Lasker, chess champion of the world, has been challenged to a match for his title by F. J. Marshall, the young American who won first prize in the recent International masters’ tournament held at Nuremberg, Germany, and it is altogether likely that the two experts will come together in the course of the winter. Lasker has expressed bls willingness to play Marshall because of the withdrawal from his agreement of G. Maroczy, the Hungarian champion. The latter has become identified with home politics and in consequence cabled his Inability to play In November, as had been stipulated tietween him and Dr. Lasker. Marshall, it is expected, will at once bind the bargain by posting a forfeit. Leads Central League Battera.
