Guiseppe is a swarthy, vivacious, shrewdly, cheerful, black-curled, bullet-headed...
...Anne Morgan, was played last week at the clubhouse of the American Women's Association, refereed by onetime Chess Champion Jose Capablanca, won by a Miss Elizabeth Wray. Named, for no particular reason, after King Arthur's hometown, Camelot was invented three years ago by George Swinnerton Parker, head of Parker Bros. of Salem, Mass., who manufacture more games than anyone else in the U.S. Camelot is played with pieces resembling pawn chessmen on an irregularly checkered board. It comes in "editions" of which Parker Bros. say they have sold...
