Checker Tournament Results In Tie for Hill and Stephens.

A five-cornered checker tournament played between Saturday night and Monday morning resulted as follows: Frank Hill and Sam Stephens each 10 points, Halleck 7%, McFarland 7 and Thomas 5. Each man played four games, meeting each opponent 4 times. The surprise of the contest was the lowscore of Thomas, who is usually well to the front. The players have been indulging in a great amount of practice lately, and making a more scientific study of the game, and when they meet Kentland again they hope to be in better condition than on the last occasion.
