In the above chess column in Al Ha'Mishmar, edited by Eliyahu Feigin, the editor note the death in combat (in the War of Independence, or rather in the disturbances before it started) of Avraham Feldklein, 'one of Rishon Le'Tziyon's best chess players'.
He was killed at the age of 18, came in 3rd in the last city (moshava, lit. 'settlement') the previous year, and also was the city's blitz champion and won a match with the city's champion, M. Stoltz (ph. spelling), 3:2.
Added: a frequent contributor adds, based on contemporary sources (link in Hebrew) that the correct spelling is probably Stoltzaft (שטולזפט). He was apparetly quite an active played at the time.

Also: another correspondent notes the name is Sztulzaft Meir, later changed to Shatil.
It is added that the two problems published in the paper that day are dedicated to his memory.
Its not Stolz. The name is Sztulzaft Meir ( later changed to Shatil)
