"Strictly for Pros" "This one is strictly for the pros," Kasper said.

A11 14 entrants are chess masters, and one, Samuel Reshevsky, is an international grand master." Other top competitors for the title and the Lessing J. Rosen-wald trophy accompanying it are: Arthur Bisquier, the present U.S. champ; William Lombard, world junior champ; Arnold Den-ker and James Sherwin. "Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn is also playing," Kasper said. Fischer, of 50 Lincoln Place, is the 14-year-old prodigy whom some chess experts acclaim as potentially the greatest player in the world.

"Once in a Century" "A player of his caliber comes along once in a century," according to Kasper. Fischer holds the U. S. open championship, which he won in 1950, and the New Jersey open, won last September. "In this tournament," Kasper said, "each of the 14 plays the others once.

A win counts one point and a tie counts one-half. The player with the most points wins." In addition to the trophy and the title, the winner captures the first leg on the world championship match. He qualifies to enter a zonal contest where champions from all nations compete to challenge the world champion since last year, Vassily Smyslov of Russia. The club, the oldest in this country, was founded in 18fi7 and incorporated in 1877, and, said Kasper, "has been the home of many of the world's greatest players since its founding."

"Most of my treasures were lost during the war, and I brought only a few with me when I came to New York from Europe seven years ago.

Since then I accumulated so many they began crowding me out of my apartment at 50 Manhattan Ave. So I recently gave away hundreds, especially my life-sized ones, and kept only the valuable historic dolls." It's a Test of Ingenuity Niehuis admits that doll collecting and restoring is an unusual pastime for a he-man. But he recommends it a3 an interesting spare-time filler, as well as a test of ingenuity. His collection, frequently exhibited at doll club shows, features tiny wax and papier-mache "milliners' models," dolls with deftlv carved bone heads, French ''fashion dolls," sturdy German characters with lovely Meissen china heads and several dozen almost priceless bisque dolls. Each is costumed authentically.

Niehuis has refurbished or made their outfits after much research on hair styles, dress, hat and shoe fashi ons of the eras. These range from the early 18th Century to World War I. Showed Off Fashions "Fashion dolls, introduced in the 16th Century by Parisian coutu-riers, were dressed in the latest modes and sent to royal courts where ladies ordered copies of their costumes." Niehuis explained. the milliners' models also were used to display fashions." Now Niehuis is starting to Use his needle and thimble to create dolls that record a few early memories. "Here are the princess and chocolate server from 'Der the Strauss opera in which I made my stage debut," he said.

"I wore the Oriental robe and turban of the chocolate boy with great pride, and flourished my serving tray. The miniature salver this doll holds is sterling silver, and could double as an ash tray."
