At Home With Sammy.

Samuel R sssss wski, chess marvel of the world, playing 20 chess expert
at West Point Military Academy. It wax his first red text in this country.
After three hours and five minutes he had defeated 19 of the 20 and the
game with the twentieth, Col. G. A. Siebeger, professor of English and chess
champion of West Point, was called • draw.
Little Samuel R eeeee wski is credited with having defeated the best
players in Europe in simultaneous games In which he played I men at
once in Warsaw, Vienna, Breslau, Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Brussels,
Paris and London. The medals he is shown wearing were presented him
by chess clubs for victories in those cities. The chess men on the board
before him are exquisitely carved and were presented him by an European
millionaire who was one of 26 the boy defeated in • simultaneous game.
The boy was photographed ■ t the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York, where he

I have once been to Ozorkov, In
the beginning of 1915, as a war cor-
respondent, I made. a trip through
Lodz and its environs, to find out the
conditions of the Jews there and dis-
cover the extent of their losses

that was the only town in the vicin-

1 d,d not know then that Ozorkov
was to bear the distinction of being
the native town of the little genius.
And so it really is a happy coinci-
dence that the town was spared from
a pogrom.• It was the only exception
among its surroundings, and if not
for that happy coincidence, who can
tell but that the little genius would
not have been among us today.
In the meantime, Samuel finished

down on the sofa and began to play
with his little legs. After that he
turned to Mr. Jaffe and suggested
that they play a 'blind" game; that
is to say, a game where the figures
would not be actually set up, but
memorized by the players themselves.
Jaffe accepted the suggestion and the
game began.

Mr. Jaffe then asked the child what
he wanted to be when he grew up, to
which the child answered: "I don't
know," and we all started to talk,
Mr. Jaffe, the child's parents and I,
about the child's future, when all of
a sudden we noticed that Samuel gets
up from the sofa and goes over to
the window ledge singing pensively
and quietly a Jewish ditty,
Samuel is little, thin and young.
But his brain and mind are large.
Samuel has already studied a great
deal of the Talmud and many other
Jewish wqrks, and he remembers
them literally by heart. 'lie is above
everything else, a 'person gifted with
an enormous memory and strong
powers of logic. His new creations
of chess combinations and his manner
of playing show it very clearly, and
I have noitced another instance, when
his parents changed an earlier resolu-
tion and little Samuel hearing of it
simply remarked: "I said so yester-
day.' Nothing else did the child say,
and yet one could see very clearly the
great pains of his soul, which under-
stands better, knows better and feels
deeper than his environment. But
being young in years and small in
stature he is considered a child.

Such is our little Samuel. He loves
his parents, he obeys them. But with
strangers he is nervous and impatient.
Ile answers questions promptly and
politely, but not fully. To obtain a
clear statement from hint is at times
even harder than from the most in-
veterate diplomat.
Little Samuel's life is a tragedy,
almost the tragedy of his own race
and people. And it is a teal tragedy,
for both the little genius and the race
to which he belongs that so much
ability and real inspiration which this
world's wonder possesses be wasted
in a game.
Is there really no danger that our
little Samuel will play out his genius?
We have so many philanthropists
in America who support with an open
hand every musical wonder child, al-
beit it is not always so that musical
wonder children become great musi-
cians. Is there no Jewish philan-
thropists who should take a kindly
interest in this great wonder?
