Forces Janowski to Resign in the Opening Game of Their Chess Contest NO MATCH WITH PILLSBURY. Champion Refuses to Consider the Frenchman's Challenge. Local Games. Thosa.presemt to witness the opening game ot the series between Jan ow slci and Frank J. Marshall at the Manhattan Chess Club last niglrt were treated to something akin to a sensation when the young champion of the Brooklyn Chess Olu, who, In spite ot the tact that the Frenchinain had Just vanquished ex United States Champion Showalter in a most dectelve manner, faced mis redoubtable adversary fearlessly end, to everybody's surprise, not only hel his own, but In the end actually compassed flhe noted foreigner's defeat.

Tills victory fttiouid serve to establish the cleveT Brooklynite's reputatloa as one of the leadim'g metropolitan players, a status he had praotloaily attained through his splendid showing in the Manhattan ChiD's cham pionslhlip tournament, and la a measure makes up for his poor perform ance at Keuka Lake last summer as representative ot Brooklyn in the Staais Zeitvuig Clip tournament, ttle success, too. Is particularly opportune at this 'time 'to thait It appreciably furthers 'his ambitions to take part In the annual state championship tournament on Washington's Birthday next, the daMe match with Great Britain and, finally, as a competitor among the foremost players of the world in either of the two London tournaments next May. Janowski had the opening last night and his queen's gambit was met daringly by the counter gambit of 2 4, a dangerous line of play, If not properly met. who had his plan of procedure carefully mapped out, was able to split up his opponent's pawns and It was not long before he regained the pawn sacrificed. The position was then practically even with all the bishop's changed off, while the presence of four knights on tie scene of aotion made matters quite 'bewildering.

The weakened conditon cf the pawns made them easy prey for the knights, which did some lively execution, Marshall averaging one to the good. Janowski thereupon played to win both the black knights for h's rook and succeeded, but he failed to take into calculation the extreme difficulty of handling these two pieces in an ending on an open board. The Brocklynite manipulated his rook most ingeniously and established a passed which the two wh'ite knights tried laboriously to stop. Marshall's road to victory thereafter was slhort and easy. Score: ClUEEU'S GAMBIT DECLINED.

Thomas Curtis, the veteran manager, opened the competition with an address in which he announced the number of prizes offered and continued as follows: "I undertook to manage the last two tournaments. This vill be managed by memibers of the League, who will umpire their own games and none of the male sex will be invited to take part in the contest, the exception being an official scorer.

The presence of gentlemen to witness the games will be galdly welcomed but any interference will be objectionable. It must be distinctly understood that this is exclusively a woman's tournament. As manager of the bowling alleys, I will do all I can to assist the bowlers but must decline to assist in the management of the tournament." Six games were rolled and some high scores resulted, Mrs. Burns leading with 163, while the Monarch pair made high team total of 29S. The series resulted in a division ot honors all around.

la the cause ol much unrest a Kie minds oi local base ball cranks to learn that tnere are certain stubborn, obstacles in the way of the Brooklyn Baltimore deai. without possessing the slightest inkling of their nature. The parties to the deal here are particularly reticent about discussing the cause of the delay, and it is safe to state that very few persons ouUside of tfoose directly interested know precisely what is troubling the joint owinere. Of course, it is generally understood tliat a 'transaction of such magnitude in the base ball world as the amalgamation of Brookiyn and Baltimore canaot be accomplished without the most minute attention to legal details. Complications arising at even this apparently late day could block the entire scheme and Tender the transfer of the Orioles to this borough more remote than ever.

Minor stock holders have claims which must be satisfied according to the club owners before the plan of consolidation cao be fully consummated, and, in addition to these, there are various property liens that have to be permanent.y adjusted If the path of the base ball con eollaationlsw is to be made passawe. These are simply examples of the kind of difficulties the prime movers in the deal are forced to combat. Many of chem have been removed, but a number remain. Nobody realizes 'better than Messrs. A'bell and Ebbets, however, the vital interest whioh 'iie Brooklyn 'base ball public ha3 in line progress of the scheme to consolidate and no one is more keenly alive tfoan they are to tine fact tihat the failure of She deal at this time or later, i when, the people are keyed up to a high pitch of expectancy, would mean almost inevitable disaster to the financial welfare of the game ibere next season.

In consequence t'he club owners wish it to be distinctly understood that no matter how little uhey may say in print wiLh relation to the workings of t'he transactions, each day their time is occupied In the hardest kind of hustliug in order to bring tine mutually desired end aibout. Baltimore is having its troubles, too, but Une Brooklyn management is not worrying ffcself elck over possible 'hitches in tlhe nest of the Orioles. They know uaat in Hanlon both aides have a man who is fully competent to meet and handle base ball emergencies and as his own luture prospects are inseparably Identified wit'h the success or failure of Che deal, he may be depended upon to use every resource at his command to steer a clear course In. Baltimore. Apropos oi the situation in Maryland and the position of Rtfb iason and McGraw, F.

A. A'bell talked in an Interesting manner to day. "I would rather see Robinson and McGraw get the Baltimore franchise than any one else," said he, "because it is a matter of life or death In base ball with them any way and in the second place it would take the responsibility of running two clubs out of our hands and remove all possibility of any suggestion of hippodrome methods. The price of the franchise, $40,000, is absurdly low, as not long ago Mr. Vonderhorst was offered in the neighborhood of $100,000 for it by a Western syndicate.

McGraw and have business Interests in Balti more which undoubtedly will increase ma terially if they are at the head of the reor ganized Baltimore team. If they net succeed in raising money for the purchase, their business is likely to fall off. because if the pair do not control Baltimore's fran ohlse next season only two courses will be open, uoe is to piay in urooKiyn ana tne other Is to retire from the game altogether. eitner ot which would cause Robinson and to lose caste with the sporting pub lie in Baltimore, to which they cater. If it were not for their husinesss, Robinson and MoGraw would be as willing to come to Brooklyn as any of the other memibers of the Baltimore team.

Unless Yale and Harvard reconsider their decision to row their annual race on the Thames River at New London, Cornell will notybe a participant in the race. The regatta discussion was brought to a focus last night when Captain S. L. Fisher of Cornell's crew wrote to Captain F. L.

Higgin Bon, of Harvard's crew as follows: The decision Harvard and Yale, as announced to me in letter Just received, will make It Impossible for us to meet you. This we very much regret. Cornell has a race on with University of Pennsylvania, Columbia and University of Wisconsin this year on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie. The date fixed for the Yale Harvard race is June 29 and Cornell does not feel that she can participate in both races unless they are held on the same course. The Thames River course is said by some experts to be a poor one for three crews because of the abundance of eel grass which, while it tends to make the river placid, is said to be a hindrance to the oarsmen.

On the other hand the Poughkeepsie course has no drawbacks and i3 conceded to be far better than the Thames. Quite a little disappointment has been occasioned by Cornell's announcement that she will not row at New London. The students at Cornell say that the Harvard Yale contingent fixed June. 29 as the date purposely to bar out Cornell. Manager Mann of Harvard denies that an attempt is being made to freeze out Cornell.

Harvard having disposed of its old training quarters and being without an establishment, Manager Mann eays that it was Imperative that a course he decided upon immediately so that Harvard could make the necessary arrangements for the match. That is why New London was picked out as the place for the regatta. Yale men declare that they would be exceedingly glad if Cornell would accept the proposition to row at New London. They feel that the present trouble will be amicably settled very soon. BAY RIDGE WINS TWO GAMES.

Trainer John E. Campbell arrived at the Gravesend track yesterday with a string of eleven horses, five of which are 3 years old and the balance youngsters. None of the bunch has been taken up yet, having been shipped directly from the pasture to the track. They all look rugged and high in flesh and still carry their winter coats. Most of them are by imp.

Hawksiey and are a useful looking lot. The eleven now in his stable are but a small portion of the racing string which he will campaign in the East this year. He has secured at the Gravesend track one of the largest stables, and has still room for a score or more horses. Mr. Campbell will be remembered principally in connection with his great coup in 189G when he won the Futurity with Ogden at 12 to 1 and in 1S90, when he landed the Brooklyn handicap with Castaway II at B0 to 1.

Thompson Said to Be in Control of Fort Erie. It Is more than probable that the Fort Erie track, will change hands this year. Since its opening three years ago, It has been a losing venture, principally because of bad management. Last year it was added to a circuit of running tracks, and did fairly well. It.

is said that W. H. Thompson of Gloucester fame, has acquired control of the track, either hy purchase or contract. The "Duke of Gloucester," as Thompson was known wheu he had control of the Jersey track, is well known to horeemen In general, and made a great deal ot money during the four or five years' run ring at Gloucester. Since that time it is said, he has been identified wtih certain pool Town interests and outlaw tracks In the vicinity oE Philadelphia.

II is true that he is to control Fort Erie in the future, a period of prosperity should be in store for the track. American Bred Youngsters Registered in England.

They are printed upon the paper usually to be found on butchers' counters, are altogether artistically disreputable, promising a good time.

Max Hornfeck, the little Montclair hockey player, defeated LeRoy See in a two mile pursuit skating race at tho Clermont Avenue Rink last night and while nothing but credit is due t0 Hornfeck for his neafr. victory, yet c.

i oun? See reversal of form was so great ins feiiuwiiig ui5a.ppoiuuug tue critics looked aibout for an excuse for this popular little sportsman. Young See has for several years been before the local sporting public as a trick rider, racing cyclist and racing skater and although yet but a young ster he has never until last night made a bad showing; certainly the hissing that he I received from a thoughtless crowd was un i warranted. A short investigation into the young skater's condition revealed facts that made his defeat not at all surprising, being due in great part to remarkably Injudicious handling. When See went to Philadelphia last Friday and Saturday with the hockey team, his father, Samuel D. See, the old time skater, changed his skates from the kind he has been using to a shorter and higher pair for use in the Philadelphia.rlnk.

Then See went without practice save for a little skating here on Monday, when he went back to his familiar skates. These things contributed to destroy his form and when he was brought down last night and put out for the race without a good warming up he was extremely nervous. This in Itself was a clear indication of poor condition, for the youngster has an extremely cool head. In addition See was convinced that he would be beaten. He was kept standing about in this nervous shape until the race.

was known that Hornfeck, who was coached Dy jonnny eillson, the professional cham pion, would go out to catch See in the first ruile if he could. Thus it was plainly See's play to let Hornfeck kill himself off and then wear him down and thus See was let go at an easy, swinging pace, while Hornfeck began to skate from the pistol. While See's admir who knew the programme of the race saw Hornfeck gain little by little, they calcu lated that the Brooklyn boy, who appeared to be going very easy, was taking his time and reserving his strength for the last mile. In 'the tenth and eleventh laps, however, (there are fifteen laps to the mile in the course), See suddenly began to labor. He then looked anx iously around and when a competitor in a pur eilir rrp lnok for hits nrmnnonf tinfirn tVia ra ic hnif nwr it io Y.a eio hti his showing make3 him certain to be a factor in the championships if he continues to im prove.

He we.nt to work doggedly last night, and, in spite of the fact cnat See was a big favorite with the crowd, never faltered. He showed big improvement over his last year's form. His followers cleaned up the crowd, who were willing to place small wagers on See last night. Some of See's friends are much dissatisfied with the result of the match and are still willing to back the Brooklyn youngster in another contest. More than a thousand spectators saw the race.

Merritt repeated in person his challenge made to the winner through the Eagle yesterday. Hornfeck's time for the first half was 1.28; for the mile. for the two miles. 7:00 3 5. Merritt held the watch, while Sparrow Robertson started the men.

J. C. emment, Bob Stoll and a number of others officiated. Much time was lost in starting the race. Track Representatives Discuss the Badge System.

The representatives of the various metropolitan district race tracks met yesterday afternoon to further discuss the use and abuse of the present badge system and to devise means of regulating It. While the matter was fully discussed and a plan of doing away with past evils was tacitly agreed to, no formal action was taken. The concensus of opinion seems to be that only the owners and trainers' and paddock badges need regulation. The scheme agreed to is that the various tracks pool their issues and employ one or more men. who shall have full control of the badge question, so far as It relates to owners and trainers and their employes.

It is proposed that these employes of the joint associations shall investigate each application for badges, unless the applicant be well known. Badges once issued shall be good for the entire season, unless the trainer parts with his stable or abuse3 his privileges by loaning or selling his badge, in which case it will be taken up and a duplicate refused. It is probable that formal action will be taken and a badge official ap pointed at the next meeting. Bonogliue Easily Beats Julius. Poughkeepsie.

The semi final round in the tournament arranged for the caddies of the Crescent Athletic Club was played at Bay Ridge yesterday. Maurice Gilmartin and Willie White were first away, the latter being easily beaten by Gil I martin, by four tip.

The match which attracted most interest was that between Dave Han rahan and Willie Lake, who finished first and second in the prelimibary medal round. At the en of the first round Lake was two up, which advantage he maintained to the end. ine winner will meet Gilmartin in the final round at 36 holes on Saturday and as Lake receives four strokes allowance he is picked to win. The cards of yesterday's play follow: Willie Lake: Out R6767S67 659 In 9 8 9 4 6 11 7 663 122 David Hanrahan: Out 97666677 758 In 8 8 10 5 5 8 8 664 122 Maurice Gilmartin: OUt 667 5 6566 451 In 6 6 4 4 6 5 31 82 Willie White: Out 98645896 560 In 9 6 8 6 6 8 42 102 The three golf clubs located in the vicinity of Fort Hamilton, the Crescent Athletic, Dyker Meadow and Marine and Field, have had so much trouble in handling their caddies that It is suggested that they combine in this matter. All of the clubs think well of the proposition, whioh consists drawing up a set of resolutions to govern the caddies on all three grounds.

Heretofore it has been almost impossible to hold the boys under con'trol, as the moment they wexe dismissed at one course they would get employment at either of the others. The new scheme is to register all the caddies in a general roster and to divide them into two classes boys of 14 or over oeing in Uiass A and boys under 14 in Class B. The latter will not be allowed to work except after school hours, on holi days and Saturdays. Each of the registered caddies will wear a numbered badge when i on duty or when waiting employment, which they will receive from the person who records their names on the general list and not from the caddie masters, as at present. No un badged caddie will be employed at any of! the three clubs, while any caddie using ob scene language, demanding more than the regular charge, secreting golf balls or refusing to carry when called upon iliall be liable to a suspension from work or to have his name erased from the register, which wiil debar him from again obtaining work at either of the three links.

When circumstances warrant it a second class caddie may be promoted to the first class, or a member of the higher grade reduced to the lower rank. Golf has become so popular with the members of the Forest Hill Field Club of Newark that additional ground has heen procured, which will enable it to increase the present much cramped nine hole course in length to such an extent that it will give a playing distance of 2,700 yards. All the putting greens are to be made over and enlarged, while new bunkers and a water hazard will be added to the course.

Boyal Arcanum Sub Tournament Dinner. The annual dinner of the players participating in the sub tournament of the Royal Ar I Janowski Must Wait. Janowski was much disappointed yesterday upon receipt of a press dispatch, which quoted Plllsbury as saying, at Wlnnepeg, that he wae too busy to play this year, that he was after bigger game meaning, of course, the world's championship and that he regarded Janowskl's challenge in the light of a bluff.

The language ascribed to the champion somewhat nettled the Parisian, who, however, took it calmly and contented himself by remarking that he would wait a year, if necessary, and renew his challenge. Then, he would demonstrate that Plllsbury could not beat him so easily, ae the latter is reported to have said he could, or else concede that he knew nothing about chess. Meanwhile, Janowski will be a very busy man during the balance of the month, for after finishing his match wiih Marshall, which will probably be about Sunday, he will begin his fortnight's engagement at the Manhattan Olub, the chief feature of which will be individual encounters with the club's experts. His opponents will be picked from among the following: D. G.

Baird, J. W. Baird, I saacson, Simonson, Delmar, Hanham, Richardson, Hodges, Rocamora, Koehler, Marshall, Muller von der Werra, Schmidt, Hal pern, Schroeder, Bostwick, Ferguson, De Vis ser and On Saturday, January 28, he will again visit Brooklyn and star at the Hamilton Clu'b, which yesterday completed arrangements with the Frenchman for an engagement to meet a formidable team in a simultaneous performance.

I have no idea what is delaying the transaction now that it has proceeded thus far, and it seems Incredible to me that any one who is directly or indirectly interested in the Brooklyn Club should be so short sighted as to ham per the management in any way. 1 don't know that any stockholders are doing this, you i understand, but such a condition affairs is i poaslible. I "The transfer of the Baltimores to Wash ington Park with such a man as Hanlon as manager, will undoubtedly introduce an era of prosperity in Brooklyn base ball that will be as welcome as it is needed.
