From page 39 of Chess the Hard Way! by D.A. Yanofsky (London, 1953) comes this passage regarding the 1939 Olympiad in Buenos Aires:
‘By winning the next two games I scored 9˝ points out of a possible 10 and was awarded a silver cigarette holder inscribed: “Mejor Jugador del Torneo” [best player of the tournament].’
Times have certainly changed, as it is hard to imagine that organizers today would offer a 14-year-old boy anything smacking of smoking.

See Chess and Tobacco.A news item on page 231 of the September 1952 CHESS:
‘H.V. Trevenen, several times West of England Champion, and as nice a fellow as anyone could wish to meet, has been in a mental home for some months. We understand there is a family history.’
