Checker Expert Booked To Lecture Here Saturday Night

The following notice appeared in the Sunday Inter-Ocean: “Denvlr to Rensselaer.’' “The Inter-Ocean editor is booked to visit Rensselaer, Ind., on Sept. 4 to give a,lecture on the game of checkers and a simultaneous performance. If it is convenient, run down and assist in making it a success.” Mr. Denvir was one of the five American experts selected to represent this country in a recent international contest with Great Britain, and since the death of the American champion, C. F. Basher, there is, perhaps, no greater exponent of the “silent” game in this country.
