ABuffalo Courier Buffalo, New York Friday, January 08, 1909 - Page 8 — Cuban Chess Wonder Will Play Marshall — New York, Jan. 7. — Frank J. Marshall, who is on board the belated steamship Batavia, due today, has been matched to play a series of three games against Jose R. Capablanca, the young Cuban expert. The latter was scheduled to play in Washington last night, and will start on a tour of the West on Tuesday, while Marshall expects to visit the New England States and Canada. The games between these prominent players will be played on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and the interest in the meeting is intense.
At the rooms of the Rice Chess Club, Tuesday night, Capablanca was pitted against twenty-five opponents, against whom he made a record of twenty wins, one loss and four drawn games. The exhibition lasted from 8:40 p.m. until shortly after midnight. A.J. Danziger was the only player to win a single game. Those who drew were E. Ziegler, J. Young, A. Marder and A.H. Bierwirth.
