To night Crescent and Hockey Club Will Clash at Clermont Rink Pittsburg to Play Here. The who wear the pale blue of the Brooklyn Skating Club, met the No wYork Athletic Club seven on tho St.

Nicholas ice last, night and while the visitors put up a good match they were, as usual, just beyond the pale of victory. The first meeting between these teams resulted in a tie of 1 but. last night the New Yorkers managed to one more goal than they scored in tho other game, winning by the very narrow margin of 2 to 1. The game was a hard fought one. but was very clean save for occasional tripping for which Howard of the New YorUs was warned three times, but was not punished for which Baird was jmt off for five minutes.

Little Henderson of the Brooklyns. absolutely the most inoffensive forward player the ioe, was without warning, put off for minutes and the rest of his team have been laughing at him ever since. Henderson does not know what his crime was. Otherwise the work of Referee Benny Phillips was very fair and at all times impartial and his desire to keep the match clean was evident all times. Each side scored oace iu tho first half and in the second half the New York Athletic Club made the winning goal.

The result of the game is that Brooklyn drops into fifth place with little hope of getting out of it. while New York Athletic Club moves up to a tie with St. Nicholas for second position la the wake ot tne rescems. tne game was like many of the other matches played by the Brooklyn colts this season, very close and not finished uutil the end of the second half, but as usual, the local team had the worst of the luck and narrowly escaped a win. New York had the advantage of being upon their own ice and they had out thfir very strongest line up and their speed was greater than that of the Brooklyn forwards, leaving the Brooklyn defense open a number times and giving the goal keeper plenty of work to do.

But at dividual skating tho work of the New Yorks was not better than that of the visitors. The match was from the first as lively as forward lines could make it. The Brooklyns started off in the offensive every time they got the puck and every one of the forward line gave a cood account of himself, al though as usual the team work was lacking. 1 New York got the puck for an occasional rush and shot, but was stopped every time and held safe. Finally, there was a mix up at the New York Athletic Club goal, in which Phiebler smacked the puck into the net and Brooklyn rooters were highly pleased.

New York Athletic Club went in with renewed energy and for a time the Brooklyns had their hands full of defense work. Finally. Baird got the puck behind the goal line (dose the net and in the scrimmage he got ir in front to Max Hornl'eck. who pushed it into the net before the Brooklyn point and goal knew where it was. From this time on the play waxed hard, but no more goals wore made before the call of In tho second period Howard and Hunt ere very foul and Shiebler was cautioned.

Howard was three times warned, hut wa 3 not punished. Finally Baird committed a palpable and mean trip on Shkbler and was sent to the side line for five minutes. few minutes later Henderson was given a rest for tripping. The New York Athletic Club forwards then became desperate. They male several fine rushes and finally three of clear.

SHARKEYAND KID IWC COY Ex Champion Will Meet All Comers, but Prefers the Present Holder of the Heavyweight Title. Percy G.

"Williams, the well known Brooklyn promoter of theatrical and sporting affairs, acting on behalf of Robert Fitzsim mons, ex champion heavy weight pugilist of the world and still holder of the middle weight championship, yesterday posted a. forfeit of to bind a match with champion James J. Jeffries. The lanky Cornishman accompanies his forfeit money with an open challenge, but givea the preference to Jeffries, Sharkey and Kid McCoy, in the order named. In his challenge to Jeffries, the former champion states that, he will not insist on an immediate match, but asks the Californian to cover his money and sign articles at once for a contest to take place at a reasonable time after the Corbett Jeffrles bout.

Fitzsimmons is willing to let the forfeit put up yesterday go as a side wager, adding that Mr. Williams stands ready to double the amount if Jeffries Percy G. Williams. The Brooklyn Man Who Has Started Out as Hofc Fitzsimmons' Manager on Business Principles so desires. The winner can take all, side, bet and purse.

The tone of the personal challenge to Jeffries is decidedly that of a gentleman. In challenging Sharkey, the boxer from the Antipodes takes a tone consistent with tha boasting remarks which the sailor pugilist is reported to have recently circulated. All he asks Sharkey to do is to put up hi.3 money or close hi.3 mouth. He. of course, makes it plain that Jeffries has first choice.

The gauntlet is thrown down to Kid McCoy in the same gentlemanly manner in which the present holder of the championship wai3 challenged. Bob mentions the fact that McCoy has expressed himself auxioue and willing to meet him, and says that such a meeting can easily be brought about by covering his forfeit, providing, of course, neither Jeffries nor Sharkey accept the challenge. If Fitz fails to secure a match with any of these three men the challenge is open to any middle weight or heavy weight pugiliet who has confidence enough in his own ability to think he can beat the former champion. Lovers of the manly art will watch with keen interest what tho three men challenged will say in reply. Philadelphia.

February li Sailor Tom Sharkey and Joo Goddard. the Barrier champion, met last night at Industrial Hall in what was to bo a six round bout. Goddard, however, was clearly oui classed and was saved in the middle ot the fourth round from an almost certain knockout by his trainer. Jack Dougherty, throwing up the sponge. Sharkey in a series of terrific rushes hud warmed things for the veteran until defeat seemed to bo due in the next blow, when.

Dougherty surrendered. Goddard was still anxious to fight and made a lunge at the sailor. The two mixed things and after rapid exchanges Goddard slipped to the floor and with Tom on top came near rolling ingiori ously through the ropes. Over 1.000 witnessed the light and Sharkey was given an ovation as he took his corner with Tom O'Rourke and Jack Fogarty by his side. Clever little George Dixon, who acted as one of the sailor's seconds, was loudly cheered.

Goddard, too, came in for a welcome. The veteran pugilist. John S. Clark, was the referee. Gossip of the Boxers.

BASE BALL DATES GIVE TROUBLE Harvard and Princeton Can Not Settle on a Mutually Satisfactory Schedule. (Special to the Eagle.) Philadelphia, February 14 Mike Murphy may not go to Y'ale next year. There has been a hitch in the arrangements and Murphy has not yet signed a. Y'ale contract. The Pennsylvania trainer admitted this much to the Eaglo correspondent to day, but refused any further information or to talk more about the deal.

When Murphy told the Y'ale managers last fall he would leave Pennsylvania and return to New Haven next season, he understood he would be given complete charge of all athletic training. But it has lately developed that Drs. Andereon and Seaver, the gymnasium instructors at Y'ale, have said the athletic trainer must be under the direction the gymnasium that no professional coach was competent to judge of the physical condition of an athlete. This statement is a part of the fight of all college gymnasium directors against the trainers, and, coming after the announcement that Murphy was going back to Y'ale, was regarded by him as a direct effort to curtail his authority, or even prevent his return. Murphy immediately made inquiries aG to what his position would be.

While the exact reply of the Y'ale author ities is not known, it was not satisfactory to the trainer, and he refused to sign a Y'ale contract unices assured he would be unrestricted and not under tho control of the gymnasium directors. He wants no interference with his work in handling men, Y'ale men have been for several years endeavoring to make compromise with Dr. Anderson and Dr. Seaver but so far. the instructors have refused to recedn from their position.

As they are very influential with the governors of Yale affairs, the outlook at present does not seem to be favorable to the return of Murphy. This is the position in a nutshell: Y'ale wants Murphy, and Murphy would like to but he demands complete freedom; Anderson and Seaver. it is said, have threatened to resign if the athletic trainer is not made responsible to them, and Y'ale docs not care to lose either of her gymnasium men. Murphy was in New Haven the day after the Boston Athletic Association games and had a long conference with the Y'ale athletic managers. They tried to persuade him to accept a compromise, but he refused.

The conference, it is said, was not satisfactory to either side, and Murphy is no nearer signing a Y'ale contract than he was five months ago. In view of the present situation many Pennsylvania track men believe the veteran trainer will be In Philadelphia at. least another year. Some time ago the announcement was made in the Eagle that Harvard and Princeton would in all probability meet but once this year on the base ball field. The reason for this statement was fully explained when the first announcement was made.

As the Tiger and Crimson authorities are still at loggerheads over base ball affairs, a brief account of how matters stand will not be amiss even at the risk of repetition. The base ball season at Princeton is, for reasons of climate, several weeks ahead of the season at Harvard. For the last five years the Crimson has met the Tigers for a series of three games during the latter part of May. The result has been one continual round of defeat for Harvard. At the banquet and reception tendered the Harvard athletes some weeks ago at the house of the Harvard Club ot New York.

Captain Bill Reid spoke at some length on the subject of Harvard Princeton base ball. Reid stated that it was impossible for a Harvard captain to get his men into condition to meet Princeton sri oarlv in the season. He finished his speech by saying that he had decided either to meet the Tigers later in tne season or uui to play them at. all. This course met the approval of his listeners, who were all Har vard graduates and greatly interesteu iuc athletic success of their Alma Mater.

Since then the Harvard captain has been steadily in communication with the Princeton management. It has always been the Princeton policv to finish the base ball season with Yale and the Princeton Y'alo schedule has alwavs been arranged with that end in view. This vear June 2 and have been set aside for the Y'ale games. Because of these dates and for the reason that the college year at Princeton ends June W. the Nassau management has been unable lo concede to the demands of Harvard that dates later in the season be assigned 1o her.

Captain Heid then proposed one game, but this arrangement, failed to meet with the approval of the Princetonians. Princeton is willing to play one game on May 2a, and one on June 1 1 or lit. but Harvard does nor. favor bringing the second game, so near the Yale series. Matters at present arc in more or less of a deadlock.

It is expected that some definite conclusion will be arrived at this week. Ithaca, February 14 Dr. J. Watson Brown, the physician in attendance on Coach Courtney, who is still confined to his bed, has given out the following statement: "Mr. Courtney's illness is a recurrence of an old trouble caused originally by sunstroke, and of which he had quite a severe attack several years ago.

The trouble is augmented bv business worries due to overworn. i i.s tpInperaiure 311,1 matter to giv pulse are normal. it is a a prognosis a case ot this kind, although I may say 'hat there is danger to be feared, and thai I expect Mr. Courtney to be able to resume his work with tho crews within two weeks. Cambridge.

February 14 Captain Bill Reid of the Harvard 'varsity nine has called a mass meeting for to night in Massachusetts Hall of .11 tin. candidates for the 'varsity, freshman and class ball teams. As Dr. Nichols, tho head coach, is at present in Europe and will not be with the nine until April 1. B.

H. Hayes has been appointed assistant head coach. He will be assisted by V. I). Hatigh toii.

'00. W. II. Rand, and S. Y.

Lewis. The entire 'varsity squad will be called out Monday afternoon and put to work. Reid has not. decided yet just how soon ho. will put the freshman and class candidates to work.

The cage has been put in first class shape by Jack McMastors. It is Captain Hold's idea to hold the scrub series for ihe Leber Cup earlier than usual and lo pick a nine from tho men who make the best showing on the rui. teams. This nine will play a series with the 'varsity about May 1. RACING AT NEW ORLEANS.

Judges' Decision Questioned in the Second Event Results at Tanforan. New Orleans. February 14 Tho judges' decision in the second race in favor of Dr. Walmsley and against Judge Wardell was questioned by the crowd at. the fair grounds yesterday, and there was a lot of grumbling over the official placing.

It wns practically a two horse race, with Wardell leading up to tho very last jump, whore Iloland. by dint of riding, got Dr. Walmsley' 8 head in front. None of the eight other starters could keep up with the two pacemakers, Tom Klngslcy leading the balance the field home, he being four longihs, in Ihe rear of Judge Wardell at the finish. The weather was clear and bright.

Die truck heavy and sloppy. The best field of the day siarted in the handicap at seven furlongs. F.d Galtland, the favorite, although hifl pec It Ion at. the post was on the rail In the heavy going, had so much early speed that W.

EIGHTH CLUB WANTED. New Association Organized With. Seven Cities. Adrian C. Anson Elected President.

Chicago, February 14 The new American Association of Base Ball Clubs was formally organized last night with a circuit of seven cities, which, however, are still on paper. The eighth city is to be located by John Mc Graw and Phil Peterson of Baltimore, who were appointed a committee to complete the circuit. As it now stands, the circuit is made up of Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Louisville. Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

The cities from which the association hopes to complete the eight ciubs are Washington. Detroit, Syracuse, Worcester and New Haven. It looked for a time yesterday as if the association would go to smash. The morning was spent in waiting for news from Boston and it finally came in the shape of a telegram, signed by McCarthy and appointing the Phil adelphian proxy for Boston. With seven clubs represented the promoters of the new association got down to business.

Captain Anson, without showing his hand, assured the new magnates that his backing for a rival to the National League in Chicago was adequate. AI Spink announced that he had eight players signed for St. Louis, and that crowds which might be going to games of the National League would have to pass his grounds and that, if necessary, he would throw the gates open to pull them away from the other people. Quin of Milwaukee declared that everything was in readiness in the Wisconsin city, while Colonel "Whiteside, representing Louisville, Anally joined the conference. He already had shown his backing to be good.

John McGraw and Phil Peterson of Baltimore were appointed to select the eighth member 'of the Association. They will go East as soon as possible and confer with officials in the leading cities that may desire to enter the new organization. All the promoters were smiling when the morning meeting adjourned, and were sanguine of the speedy growth and success of the young association. The first action of the base ball magnates at their meeting in the afternoon was to elect permanent officers for the new organization. Adrian C.

Anson was chosen president and Philip Peterson of Baltimore was elected secretary treasurer. Part of a board of four directors then was chosen, C. S. Have ner, Milwaukee; George D. behaeier, tt.

Louis, and W. .1. Gilmore, Philadelphia, being named. Boston will have a representative on the board. Rules and bylaws governing the organization were adopted.

A committee was appointed to draw up a schedule, which will be delivered to President Anson as soon as completed. Thie; committee, however, will not do much work until the committee appointed to select the eighth member of the organization has reported. It Is said that, there are five cities which have asked to be granted a franchise in the association. They are New Haven. Worcester.

Syracuse, Washington and Detroit. Scranton.
