The game at St. Louis will have a further bearing on the attitude of the league toward New York. It is an open secret that a.

majority of the league owners are only awaiting a breach of the rules to take summary revenge on Freedman for his policy of ruin, and It Is confidently believed that yesterday's forfeit by the Giants is the last straw. Wltn the score at 10 to 3 against them, the St. Loul3 Perfectos scored 6 runs in the sixth Inning, and were on the road to reverse the verdict in their favor, when Kid Gleason, captain of the Giants, kicked over a fancied wrong. He was ordered off the field by Umpire Burns old Tom Burns of Brooklyn fame for Interference and Indecent language, and refused go. Tebeau had been removed previously and had gone a murmur.

Burns displayed a firmness that was commendable, and, after waiting a reasonable time for Gleason to retire, declared the game forfeited to St. Louis by 9 to 0. The case is a duplicate of the Holmes Incident on the Polo Grounds last year, and it is believed that New York will be treated as summarily as in the former instance. The maximum penalty for forfeiting a game Is $1,000, and so intense Is the feeling against Freedmanlsm that New York is likely to be fined the full amount. Baltimore played championship ball against the Chlcagos and won a great game by 4 to 2.

21. and members of the order Dick O'Brien Lasts Fourteen Bounds Against the Colored Fighter. As an exhibition of gameaess on the part oi one man and tho power to Inflict punishment by another, tho. star bout at the Broadway Athletic Club last evening might be called a success. But so far as cleverness was concerned, the contest found no place in the hearts of true lovers of 'the maiily art.

Dick O'Brien of Lewlston, was elmply a target for Joe Walcott's terrific blows and stood no chance whatever of winning, from the sound of the gong to tho final 'coon of the referee. O'Brien was forced to make 158 pounds and undoubtedly left most of his strength on the road. Walcott, although many pounds lighter, had him ln distress from hard body blows as early as the third round. He administered one of the severest beatings O'Brien ever received and badly cut the latter about the face. O'Brien was knocked down in the tenth and was almost zone, but he managed to last out the round and rallied considerably in the next two.

But it was no use and he was finally counted out In the fourteenth, after being sent to the floor twice. The opening bcut was an uninteresting affair of ten rounds, at 130 pounds, between Black Griffo and young Walcott, supposed to be a brother of Joe, whom he closely resem bles ln looks. The bout ended In a draw. WITH THE GOLFERS. Baltusrol Club Beady for Its Open Tourney Marine and Held Club Schedule.

Special attention has been paid this spring by the Baltusrol Golf Club to getting its links into tho finest possible condition. Many lnportant changes have been made. The long and the short eighteen hole courses have been thrown into one, which is in the neighborhood of six thousand yards long. The first bunker has been removed entirely, so that the only hazard on the first hole, 400 yards long, is a brook midway between the tee and the green. The club will hold its annual spring tour nament June 1.

2 and 3, and the beat evidence of the course being in the pink of condition for this special event, Is the record breaking golf, which has been played this week, both the amateur and professional records having been broken on Thursday, when the summer greens were opened for the first time. The first regular competition upon the links was one of a series of seven handicaps for the women, the prize being a cup offered by A. De Bary, on the point system, which was played yesterday, despite the many little 6howers and the wet grass. The three scores which secured the points, three, two and one, respectively, were as follows: H'p. Set.

Miss L. Graham: Out 996C5G67 In 46GG69S7 Miss L. DeBary: Out 8 7 5 6 5 7 6 8 In 4 7 7 9 9 Miss P. R.

His new record is: Out 5 5 4 5 5 In 4 4 4 4 4 The bogey for the course is: Out 5 5 4 4 5 In 3 4 4 4 5 4 3 5 6 5 3 4 4 4 4 5 6 5 339 440 The new amateur record for the course, made by Jame3 A.

The Crescent Athletic Club had an Interesting shoot at clay birds yesterday afternoon and as the field at the club grounds at Bay Ridge was not available, those who took part in the sport had to journey down to Sea Gate where a well appointed ground was at their disposal. The weather was so threatening during the early afternoon that only half a dozen members put in an appearance and as the contest was called in order to get in shape for the team match with the Princeton College Gun Club more than for any other purpose. Charles A. Sykes, who will captain the local contingent was somewhat disappointed at the small showing. Those who did materialize, however, had any amount of shooting and during the afternoon close on to one thousand birds were trapped.

The wind, however, blew a terrific gale all day, so that perfect scoring was out of the question. After a number of small practice events, the Sea Gate handicap was started, in which John Hallock and Charles Sykes divided the honors. Ten regular events in all were decided with the honors about evenly divided. The contest with the collegians will take place on Wednesday next at Princeton. The teams will consist of five men, each man shooting at twenty five birds.

A delegation of Brooklynites will accompany tho team to the scene of battle. Scores: SEA GATE HANDICAP 15 BIRDS Name. Birds. K. M.

A very interesting day's racing is promised at Morris Park to day. The main event will of course be the rich stallion stakes of $20, 000. This is so conditioned that the breeders of the first, second and third horses will receive a very considerable share of the stake, thus making it of financial interest, not only to horsemen, but to the breeders as well. The race is one of the most open 2 year old events seen this season, and should be productive of good speculative results to those who pick the winner as well as to those who are lucky enough to catch the second and third horses correctly. Fifteen youngsters are named to go, but others which are eligible may be added later.

His Royal Highness, upon his work, should be installed favorite, but upon reports that he. showed sore in his last work, he may go back in the betting. There is a well defined tip on St. Finnan, which is said to be Marcus Daly's best representative, and on work it would seem as though he bad a chance. The only thing against him is that he will run green, never having been out before.

Virginia Earle is also well spoken of, and Greene B. Morris" pair, Modrine and Pupil, have both shown speed. Several other entries have never shown in public before, and any one of them may prove to be a dark horse. Tho next race in importance 13 the $5,000 grand national steeplechase, over the full course. Mr.

Chamhlett's pair will undoubtedly be favorites, and should win on form. There are others which will be well played, however, among them being Cock Robin, Trillion and the Western horse, Colonel Bartlett. Charlie Oxx's Big Strive may get some Brooklyn play, especially for place and third, and F. D. Beard's Duoro will not be entirely neglected, especially if Nick Chandler has the mount.

The Ladies in the third stake event of the day and with Rose O'Lee, Prestidigltatrice. Ornamental, Lady Lindsay, The Rose and others, entered, should be close and interesting. The other three events are all well filled and closely handicapped. The probable winners are as follows: The probable winners are as follows: First race Gaze. Klrkwood, Tyrshena.

Capture Their Eighth Successive Victory by Defeating Cincinnati in a Close Game. MIGHT HAVE TAKEN FIRST PLACE With a Lead of 10 to 9 at St. Louis, Hew York Forfeits Other League Contests.

(Special to the Eagle.) Cincinnati. May 20 Hanlon's Superbas Just the goal of their ambition yesterday, failing to slip into first place t'arough the hotheauedness of the New Yorks. Of course, the boys were a little disappointed over the momentary miscue. but they are confident that they can pass St. Louis In easy time.

Their present position has been reached after a little over a week of sjensa tiona! bail playing, during which' ttiey won eight straight games and pushed aside one after the other of the three teams ahead of them. The achievement is all the more remarkable because tf.ie team has not had its full fighting force ever since the championship eeason began. In the face of repeated hard luck in the way of crippled players the Brooklyns have always been factors in the race, and their advance to a position practically on even terms with St. Loui? has not been wholly unexpected, alt'aough the rapidity of their advance Is the subject of comment. It is acknowledged throughout the league circuit that with the team complete it is likely to make a runaway race of it.

Yesterday's victory over the Reds came to Brooklyn by superior all around play. The SuDerbas nulled their same out of the fire just as the Cincinnati fans were getting ready to ent'juse over a local victory. He Home tsam toolc the lead at the start and maintained it until the fourth, when the visitor? scored the tielng runs. Then the Reds forged ahead again, only to be passed in the sixth, the Brooklyns strengthening I'jeir hold on the game in the eighth. After the fifth the Reds were unable to tally, the final score being 7 to 5 in favor of Brooklyn.

One of the peculiar features of the contest was the removal from the box of Phillips at at the conclusion of the third inning, although the visitors had been unable to score. He was exceedingly wild and in each inning filled the bases by the medium of free tickets or batters hit by pitched balls, and it was only by good luck that he escaped annihilation. It was apparent to Ewing that Dame Fortune would not smile on Phillips all the time, so when the fourth began, the Brooklyns found Jack Taylor, the former St. Louis and Philadelphia twlrlcr, in the box to oppose them. It proved to be a lucky change for the Brooklyns.

however, for they immediately began business with the Sage of Staten Island by hammering the ball for keeps, the inning ending with the score tied. He settled down In the next, but in the sixth, another trio of runs were hammered out and the lead thus Ined to the end. Kennedy, on the other hand, stuck to his post throughout, and although hit hard dur lng the early stages, was well nigh invincible in the last four innings. Both sides fielded magnificently, several sensational plays making things exciting. Dahlen's return to short strengthened the Brooklyn's immeasurably and he signalized the occasion by hammering out a triple and a double, with two men on bases each time.

His batting, in fact actually won the game and he was king of the walk when the struggle was over. Captain Kellcv. too. did SQme timely hitting, and he was a terror on the bases, scoring three of the seven runs. Anderson fielded his position wonderfully well.

Corcoran, as usual, put up a phenomenal fielding game for the Reds. McPhee also doing sensational work. Wood's throwing to oases was fine. The Reds sailed into Kennedy as It they intended to make a runaway win of It. Sel barfi led off with a slashing two bagger to right and scored on Smith's single to center.

Corcoran dropped another safe hit in the same place, Smith going to third and coming home on Steinfcldt's twisting grounder to Daly, who made a sensational stop and put out. McPhee sent up a fly to Anderson, while Miller's 5iot drive was taken by Dahlen. Cascv opened for Brooklyn with a fly to SUinfeldt. Keeler smashed the ball to deep center for three bases and things looked rosy for the Superbas. Kelley was presented with a base on balls and stole second as Dahlen struck out.

Another free pass to Anderson filled the corners, but they languished as McGann wafted a bounder to McPhee and was out. Cincinnati increased its lead in the first half of the fourth. Beckley scoring on the jump on his double and Wood's single. The latter tried to take second on the throw in and was caught Phillips also singled and dL'IUUCII WtfllL Ll UiaL Uil UU1IS, UUL i t.1 (J both left. Kelley taking Smith's fly and Casey taking care of a foul by Corcoran.

Taylor faced the Brooklyns in their half and Farrell immediately drove a single to center. Kennedy planted another ln left and Casey put a Ihirtl in left, Farrell scoring. Kennedy scampered to third. Keeler was fielded out by Steinfeldt and Kelley's bounder to the same fielder resulted in Kennedy being run down between the bases, but not before Casey and Kelley had moved up. Dahlen brought them both home with a tremendous drive to left for three bases; Anderson ended the inning with a grounder to McPhee, leaving the score tied at 3 to 3.

The Reds broke the tie in the fifth, when they scored their last brace of runs. WitB Skeinfeldt out on a bounder to Daly, McPhee singled past Casey. Miller retired on a fly to Kelley. but Beckley's drive to center brought McPhee home. Beckley stopped at third and came in when Casey fumbled Wood's grounder.

Taylor added a single to left, Selbach making the third out on a fly to Anderson. The Reds drew a blank ln the sixth and Brooklyn went to the front to be never head ed With Kennedy out on a grounder to Cor coran. Casey popped up a fly to belbach. making two hands out when the fun began. Keeler beat out a bunt and Kelley walked down on a balk.

Dahlen soaked the ball to left for two bases, Keeler and Kelley sprinting across the plate. McPhee beat down Anderson's hit, but could not field the ball and Dahlen scored. McGann ended matters with a grounder to Steinfeldt. The fielding was sharp in the next Inning, but ln the eighth Kelley bobbed up with a triple and scored on an out. The bid of the Reds in the ninth was not dangerous.

President Fur3t's netvly appointed membership committee proposes to make a vigorous campaign In enrolling clubs In the Associated Cycling Clubs which" now has thirty one members representing about 5,000 wheelmen. The effort 13 to be commended and the work of the association has resulted in so much good to wheelmen and that, membership in It now is an evidence of good standing and a desire to keep abreast of the times. The following circular has been sent out to all the clubs registered in the Eagle; Almanac not now in the association: The Associated Cycling Clubs of Long Island, which was organized ln June, 1895, now numbers, thirty one progressive clubs In Its It was brought Into existence by the necessity ofi systematic, organized effort among wheelmen to promote and protect the welfare of the fraternity, and to 59cure well paved streets, roads and blcycu paths and Its record of four years' endeavor In.

these fields has proved the wisdom of Its founders! and tested tha zeal, forbearance and perseverance of Its members.

Many abusen have bean abolished, public officials have been prompted to the performance of their duties, negligent road contractors have been called sharply to account and much has peen accomplished toward furthering the association's objects In which It took the Initiative and which without Its influences would have failed. Beside all thitr the association has been a powerful factor ln promoting the fraternity and brotherly feellnc which Is a characteristic of wheelmen and Its social side is onti of Its strongest features. While advocating the rights of wheelmen th association has not lost sight of their obligation; and It has been as zaaluus in Inculcating respect for constituted authority and an observance of laws and ordinances among its own members as.

It has been quick to resent their Infraction by the lawless or Ignorant. In all its efforts and the success attending them thB benefit and necessity, of united action and the power of systematized' work have been made apparent and the association, feels that the time has arrived for every brcyclt. or wheeling organization ln Brooklyn and on Island to affiliate with it and participate Its' work, add to its power and Influence for good andt share in the benefits secured. i You are therefore respectfully Invited to submit to your club a proposition to secure membership ln the Associated Cycling Clubs of Long Island and should the foregoing appeal to you to advocate the election of three delegates to rep i resent your body ln the association.

Dahlen celebrated his return with a timely three bagger. His fielding was superb, aa usual. Some of the Brooklyn cranks are rubbing their eyes to day. It la the first time since ISiW that a lirooUlyn team was a factor in the championship. The practice of the Superbas was watched with interest by the Cincinnati fans.

Casey attracted attention by his small stature and brilliant stops and Jumped into popular favor immediately. Anderson more than made ur for ills ragged work of Wednesday by some magnificent neld ing, some of his catches being of the phenomenal order. A quiet talk with Hanlon did the business. Phillips bad a record of three straight before he tackled the Sujierbas. There will be other pitchers who will have their records smashed when they run up acalnst the Brooklyns before the season Is over.

Brooklyn won Its seventh straight Eamo on Wednesday and hopped Into second place in the championship race. If the Superbas can win with such regularity without Jennings, Dahlen and Jones, with this strong trio back in their places it looks like a runaway race at the tlnlsh for the Hanlonltes. Washington Star. The boys were surprised to see Swartwood and Warner amble Into the field when play was called. They remembered Swartwood's hurried departure from Washington Park, on Wednesday and wondered why he had to catch an earlier train.

It Is presumed that Swarty had to stop over at Washington to have a confab with Nick Young anent an alleged protest from the Quakers. FAST POLO AT MEAD0WBR00K. Westchester Club Beats the Home Team in a Spirited Game. Score, 8 to 5. (Special to the Eagle.) Meadowbrook, L.

May 20 What was conceded to be one of the best polo matches ever played occurred last evening on the large polo field of the ileadowbrook Hunt Club. The first team of t'ae Meadowbrooks playea the flrst team the Westchester Polo Club of Newport, the matcn being for the highly prized Meadowbrook cups, for teams of four. The Meadowbrook Club has won these cups a number of times, and also several ot'aer valuable trophies from the Westchester Club; so when the two met yesterday both played with a dash and brilliancy that ha3 seldom been exceeded. The match was won by the Westchester team by a score of 8 goals to 5. Fout periods of fifteen minutes each were played.

As soon as the ball was in t'ae field the Meadowbrooks got possession of it, and In the first period by hard work scored three goals in a clever style. They were all made by Baldwin, who probably played the best individual game of any member of either team. Mortimer, Wa terbury and Cowdln hit the goals for the Newport team in this period. The most brilliant work was done in the second and t'jird periods, when each team scored a goal. It was during the second period that the star play of the dav occurred.

Baldwin got possession of the ball in the center field and was carrying It down the Held at a rattling clip when Cowdln rode him off. For half the length of the field Baldwin kept possession of the ball. Bot'j men were riding like Indians and with one long, powerful drive Baldwin hit his goal amid wild applause. The Tushes and riding of these two men was one of the features of the game. Both the team and individual plays of the Meadowbrooks were of an exceptionally high oraer.

livery man played Mis position perfectly and poor luck in hitting goals cost them the game. On several occasions they had the ball within a short distance of the posts when a misjudged shot sent it rollinc outside. Nicoll played back in the beat possible manner and did some clever work in riding off. Not once during the four periods did he miss a s'jot.
