Chess Knights on the Rim
With the development of amenities in the arctic even a refrigerator salesman might nowadays find a warm welcome in that region. Now comes organized chess, with the recent formation of the Greater Fairbanks Chess Club, Fairbanks, Alaska. President Shane Hugh O'Neil (1902 Mary Ann, No. 51), sends greetings to all woodpushers of Canada and expresses an interest in establishing contact. — “Our Club schedules correspondence, radio and (where feasible) over-the-board matches with any organization on the face of the globe, and our membership is a conglomeration of nearly every nationality imaginable.” The Club has become affiliated with the USA Chess Federation.
A few years ago, E. Forry Laucks, president of the Log Cabin C.C., West Orange, N.J., ‘mushed’ with a party of Cabineers up the west coast to Alaska and back. They left after the H.S. Open at Long Beach, Cal., and the group included James T. Sherwin and wife.
