Billy Young's training table at the Berkeley Oval track was opened for the season on Montlay. Frederick Hoyt, who promises to he one of the most prominent candidates for middle distance honors this season, makes his headquarters at Young's, with other leading professionals. Hoyt Is traveling very well for so early in the season, none of his puce makers being able to out rid him. Fully fifteen hundred people saw him at work last Sunday, the Oval being open tor visitors on that day. The standing for carriages makes the Oval a popular place for drivers; they stop the re In large numbers and watch the fa st riders at work.

"What a gr. at man he would make for a team like Baltimore. It is too bad that he is compelled to work with a crowd like the Phillies." That the Brooklyn public appreciates good ball playing is shown by the reception given to the players after the game. The team was roundly cheered as it left the field and the crowd went home happy. With warm weather, the attendance will increase, despite the war scare.

He Wins Thirteen Games in a Simultaneous Exhibition at Chess. Going to Vienna. Ex Champion J. W. Showalter, who in a week or ten days will sail for the other side to have another bout with the European experts at the international congress in Vienna, last night gave a farewell simultaneous exhibition at the Manhattan Chess Club against a strong team of sixteen members of that club.

The excellent score of thirteen points with which he emerged gives ample evidence of his recuperative powers. Showalter has not yet set thedate of his departure, but expects to accompany the Baird brothers, who sail on the steamer Pennsylvania of the Hamburg American Line on May 14. J. W. Baird yesterday received word from the congTess committee that the acceptance of h'is entry was conditional only on the participation of Pillsbury in the event.

If the latter, who is still undecided, manages to get away, then Baird will not keep his brother company in the contest for international laurels. He will make the trip, however, in any event. Following is the summary of Showalter's exhibition: Defeated Princeton and Columbia in the Inter Collegiate Golf Trials. CRIMSON'S SWEEPING VICTORY. Eli Led Nassau by Four Points Only, but Harvard Did Not Lose a Match.

The Record at Ardsley Broken Several Times During the Play W. Rossiter Betts Badly Beaten Golf at Other Nearby Clubs. The inter collegiate championship was opened at the Ardsley Club links yesterday with the team match competition between Yale. Harvard, Princeton and Columbia, and the event attracted unusual attention. The links were in prime condition and the playing greens very keen.

In fact the conditions were so very favorable that the amateur record of the links was lowered three strokes, which is regarded as a remarkable performance and while thoroughly appreciated was rather unexpected. lu the drawing Harvard got tbe Columbia boys for opponents, while Yale was pitted against Princeton. Harvard had by far the easiest task to perform and the manner in which they disposed of t'he Columbia boys was the ualk of t'he day and made them equal favorites witih Yale for the finals to day. Yale won their match with the Princetons, but it was not by a very large margin and there was considerable uneasiness shown among their friends until the last pair had completed their matdh. T'he day was cloudy and it looked as if rain might be expected at almost any minute, but that did not prevent the women from attending the links, as they were present in goodly numbers and watched the start with much interest.

T'he driving from the first, as a rule, was excellent, as the competing golfers were the very best players that the respective colleges could produce. The scores throughout were very creditable and in some cases Where apparently easy victories were scored the competitors were not far apart in strokes, as was the case with Blair, who beat Betts by 4 up. and was but one better in point of strokes, as he did tbe course in 96 and Betts in ST. L. P.

Bayard, who won the individual championship last year and still holds the inter collegiate championship, was pitted against John Reid, on this occasion and although beaten by two up. he kept Reid guessing and made him play such perfect golf that he, like Terry, beat the amateur record of the course. 8G, held by Billings. This new record of Reed's, however, did not stand long, as the very next csuple behind him and Bayard, were Roderick Terry, and W. D.

Vanderpool. who were also playing golf in such brilliant style tha't Terry, who defeated his opponent, established an entirely new record for the course by covering the eighteen holes In two strokes less than Reid's achievement. As W. Rossiter Betts was 'the runner up against Champion Whigham last fall at Chicago in the amateur championship, much was expected of him and his defeat of i up by J. J.

Blair caused much astonishment. Their game by strokes was as follows: W. Rctssiter Betts. Yale: Out 7 5 5 15 3 13 In 4 J. Blair.

Princs ton: Ou 4 4 4 4 6 5 In 5 4 4 4 ir 851 The only other Princetonian to compel a Yale man to bite 'the dust was C. H. Murphy, who defeated R. H. Crowell by i up.

Their score by strokes is an indication that they were both playing golf in brilliant style, the worst hoie on either side being a seven by Murphy on the fifth hole. Their scores by strokes follow: C. H. Murphy. Princeton: Out 4 5 6 4 In 5 4 6 5 R.

The only Harvard man who failed to vanquish his opponent was S. M. Sargent, who broke even on the match with C. Mortimer, showing clearly that Columbia was also striving to win. The summary is al follows: Harvard Columbia.

He disp.ayed remarkable cool 1 ness at every stage of the ccntse. and showed lo best advantage when bbe visitors had men on bases. i There were several occasions 'the Sena 1 tors looked dangerous. In the firs; inning. Selback led off with a single, but was ielt at third.

Again in the seecr.d. t.vo men were on bases wiu nobody out. but again the visitors were blanked, a lightening double play in which Yeager himself pat' ec.tting off prospective runs. The young pitcher's i most difficult 'trial came in 'tit? firth, when file bases were rilled, with nobody out. He fooled German, the Senator's hd.rdee; hitter, ir.r.o I striking out.

while the beist Leahy could dj "was to send up a fly to Sheckard on whic'a one run was scored. Doyle proved an easy viotiim. and the plucky pltchsr was roundly applauded as he walked to the bench. Another double play checked the visitors in the sixth and 'then came Yeager's final ordeal. This was in 'the eighth, when a single and four balls put two men cn bases, with out.

Doyle, a dangerous man. "was the next barter, but he wis removed on a weak infield fly. Farreli. who had previously scored two singles, hit a long low liner which seemed good for a two bagger, buit Griffin made a sensational catch and easily doubled up Getman. who was on tii way to the plate.

The fielding behind Yeager was delightfully clean and brilliant. The only error was an excusable fumble by LnOhance. which did i not prove costly, beside which he made up for it in the same inning When he participated in a pretty double play. He engineered another double in the sixth which was unusually I sharp, causing the crowd to get up in their i seats and cheer the big fellow until he was compelled to doff his cap in acknowledgment. He 'had ten cnances in ail at snort, accepting nine of them.

Tlirpp. bv rhe av wprp nn double plays, his work on the whole being equal to anything seen here or anywhere else for that matter this season. Barnie's men started off wkh a lead of two runs in second inning, the result of a base on balls 10 Tucker. Hi II man '13 single and a steal, followed by Mercer's w'ild threw of 'Grim's slow grounder. Grim was hurt on ttae bases and gave way to Ryan.

The home team increased its advantage in the Third by scoring 'three runs througta good hitting, fas't base running and bad work. Griffin and Jones led off with rustling singles. La Chance followed wi a slow one to Mercer, who threw wild to t'lie place to catch Griffin and everybody was safe. A base on balls to Sheckard filled the corners, Waereupon Shindle sen a short fly to Brown on nliich Jones scampered home from third. Tucker's sciaich nil again filled rtie bases and Hallman sen LaChance across The plate with a fly to Selbaeh.

Ryan made the third out with a grounder to Reitz. Washington scored i first run in fift'la on Doyle's double to left, Fan ell's ou't anil Wrlgley's single. The'lr second and last came in the isixt'a on singles by Brown and Mercer, Selibach's base cn balls and Leahy's long fly. The home team clinched the victory In its half of t'he sixth. With Tucker out.

Hall man reached on Wrlgley's wild t'hrow, Ryan singled and stole second and Yeager received h'is base on ball's. With 'the bases full Griffin smat'aed the ball 'to right for a single, scoring Hallman and Ryan, while Yeager reached t'liird by fast running. Jones followed with a ruttiing three bagger to deep left, sending Yeager and Griffin home. Jones was stopped at third. bu: on Selbae'h's poor re turn he made a da.

Despite the strong and apparently successful endeavors of many of the members who favored rebuilding in t'he old site off Ulmer Park, the. Gravesend Bay Yacht Club has definitely decided to erect its new house at the end of the Bensonhurst pier, between Bay Thirty first nnd Thirty second streets. The matter has hung fire for several weoks. but a final vote waes taken last night and the location is now permanently settled. The new site is wir.hiu easy walking distance of the club's shore house and the anchorage near by compares favorably with any other in the bay as a rendezvous for small boats.

The pier on which the house will he built Is 322 feet long. No time will be lost in getting to work on th68trueture, as it must be finished by the first of June. Yachting Notes. The Gravesond Bay Yacht Club lias increased its dues from $12 to Slii a year. E.

The Crescents had the narrowest escape from defeat yesterday afternoon in their game with Swarthmore College that they have ex perienced in some years.

As i't was they barely won out in the final few moments of play by a single goal, the score at the end of tho gam being 3 to 2. In justice to the Crescent team, however, it must be said that the aggregation which played yesterday was not the first team, but practically the second, helped out by a few regulars. The game was not started untill fully 4:30, Captain Garvin holding off hoping that the missing players would put in an appearance. The line up was as follows: Crescent. Position.

Swarthmore. Tettit Goal Hall Doyle Point Farquhar Garvin Cover point F. Thomas Moses First defense Brown Wright Second defense B. Thomas Mason Third defense Miller McLean Center "Way (captain) Sehroeder Third attack Bromell Coles Second attack Patton attack Taylor Slillman Outside borne McVaugh Bagg Inside heme Jackson Referee Mr. Robinson.

Stevens Institute. Vmp tres Dr. Scheil. Swarthmore: Mr. Powers, Crescent.

Time Two 30 minute halves. As soon as the game opened Swarthmore secured the ball and rushed it right up to her attack in good style. Crescent got it only after a lively scrimmage. Starr's attempt at goal was well stepped by Hall and the ball went down to the other end of the field again. The play was all in Crescent's territory and the latter's defense men toad to wrok as hard as they knew to prevent their opponents from scoring.

Finally the ball was passed to McLean, who in turn tossed it immediately to his attack field. Seme pretty play on the part cf Starr and Stlilman followed, but all to no purpose, their shots on goal being cleverly stopped and the ball sent flying out of danger to the Swarthmore's goal. After twenty three miutesn of play Taylor scored for Swarthmore. T'he Crescents seemed to lose their nerve for in five minutes more Patton scored another goal for the visitors. In the remaining few minutes the Crescents worked very hard, the play of Starr and Stillman being especially noticeable.

The defense of the Swarthmore team was too strong to penetrate, however, and time was finally called for the first half with the score 2 to 0 in the collegians' favor. Crescent's play improved greatly in the second half. Body checks were plentiful and men wen.t down under their influence right and left. The hard play soon told and on a quick pass from Starr. Bagg shot t'he heme team's first goal.

Captain Garvin then came down on 'the Hiome field and sent Sehroeder' to de fense in 'j1 3 place. His presence in the thick of the fray was soon felt. T'he play was transferred to the visitors' 'territory and the college team's goal keeper was kept busy. After nearly fifteen minutes' play Mason passed from nearly the cen'ter of the field to Stillman, who stcodd irecily in front of the goal. Brown made a frantic effort to intercept t'he pass, "but to no purpose.

Sxiil man, however, was checked finely by Far.quhar. 'but the latter did net get the ball. The sphere bounded over b'fa t'he players' heads and rolled plump in the net. Wi th three minutes more to play Captain Garvin called for a supreme effort. The team gc: together in such a fas'iiion that 'ball went right up field to their opponent's goal by passes from McLean to Coles to Starr and 'to Garvin.

The captain was closely pursued by owo defense men, but, notwithstanding, 'he turned l'ike a flash and smashed the winning goal in the net. ENTERTAINED AT WHIST. Women's Club of Brooklyn Tenders an Invitation Game to the Bayonne Club and Visiting Players.

The first blunder state chairman made this season was the granting of a sanction to Ambrose Park for May 21 after Chairman Mott had allowed a national circuit sanction for the same date at Manhattan Beach. This did not look much like protecting the national circuit, wfrich wa.s the subject of a special bulletin from Mott and which has always been one of Che first principles of all racing boards since the circuit, was inaugurated.

Considering the proximity of the two tracks and the fact that the first sanction granted was for a national circuit meet, the racing public will be amazed to learn that OhadiTnan Wadt has refused a sanction for Berkeley Oval for June 11, because Ambrose Park has a meet on the. same day. The conflict between Berkeley Oval and Ambrose Park would be probably about one fourth of what the conflict between Ambrose Park and Manhattan Beaflh will be and t'he state chairman is severely criticised on all sides as inconsistency personified. The affair is not likely to stop with criticisms either, for the race promoters have thousands of dollars at stake and the whims of a racing board member away up in a country corner like Cohoes will not be allowed to endanger all of that capital and bring chaos into the sport by conflicting dates without some serious objection.

H. and D. H. Morris Win the Stake Race With Vertigo, Performance Shows Him to Be a Grand Colt Ninety Cents Wins at Last. The best racing of the season was seen at Aqueduct yesterday.

The track was very fast and some surprising time was recorded, considering tho early season. Judge Warden's Svw furlongs in 1:02 and Warrenton's seven furlongs in 1:26 3 5 were near enough to th track record to prove conclusively that tho colts are good ones. Little O'Connor had a narrow escape in tho last race on Byron Cross. When the Hag fell ho was off badly. They had gone but a few.

strides when the colt crossed his legs and fell, throwing the midget. James Monroe, who wag just behind, jumped clean over the boy, narrowly missinghiin. Beyond a slight shaking up O'Connor was unhurt. The starting throughout was exceptionally good, and in nearly every case the horses got away promptly. In the first race Judge Wardell was very heavily backed, going from 6 to 1 to 10 to 0.

Queen of Beauty also had considerable support, while Lexington Pirate carried the public money and was backed down from 2V2 to 1 and 2 to 1. Wardell got all the best of the start and was never in trouble, winning handily by three lengths. Queen of Beauty got away about in the mi'ddle of the bunch, but quickly threaded her way into second place, where she finished, beating Continental a neck for the place. In spite of his bad acting in his last race. Ninety Cents was made favorite in the second event and played down from 2 to 1 to 8 to 5.

Subject also carried a lot of money, but the rest were only spari'agly played. Subject cut out the running during the early stages, but, turning into the stretch, Ninety Cents, Camotop and Sensina challenged, and in a driving finish landed heads apart. A. blanket'would have covered them all. Ninety Cents got the decision from Subject, with Camotop third.

Every honse in third race, excepting Sumraer Sea, received substantial support. Mazarine carrted die heaviest commissions, however, going back from 7 to 5 to evens. The favorite cut out Itie running to the stretch, when Warrenton c'liallenge and the hearted son of arandole quit. In ftie hardest sort cf a drive Warrenton won by ajiead from Mazarine, Storm King running third. After the race Lewis protested Warrenton for an alleged foul, but, the protest was no; allowed.

Vertigo, Autumn, Mr. Clay and Passe Par lout were all heavily played in the next event. Autumn looked like a sure winner to within a sixteenth of finish, when Lutlefield lifted Vertigo and In a drive won out by a 'head, Roysterer finishing two lengths Nearest bad no difficulty in defeating a field of nine 3 year old fillies. Pink Cham Tjray, 'jewever, ran a good game race, finishing second, four lengths in front of Hlla Daly. Wcrdsworth won the last race in a hard drive by half a length from Filament, Festa vtlao get off badly, running third.

The provable winners of to day's races are. as follows: Second race Effervescent, Kings Pride, Russel la Walden. Third race Maximo Gomez. Blue Beard. Lucid.

Libber Karl, the Tennessee trod colt was odds on favorite at 1 to 3, Plaudit going back in the betting to 3 to 1.

Frank Selee. the level beaded Boston manager says he believes the team that beats Baltimore will win the pennant.

He says. "I cannot see how any team in the league barring Boston can beat out the Orioles that is. I believe we will finish first or second." Evidcntlv Mr. Selee believes that the tight this season lies between Ikdtirmire and Boston: that those two clubs will be at the top of the heap and he seems to think the Orioles have as good a chance to be first as P.oston.

Metropolitan League to Challenge the Philadelphia Cracks. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Metropolitan Cricket League it was suggested tnat a test of strength be tween representative elevens of Xew York 1 and Philadelphia would be of the highest in tercet, now thai the game in the metropolis has reached a degree of excellence higher than oxrioie.

It is confidently expected tha't Xew Yorkers will make a good showing in the proposed ex nips: should the (Junkers de clde to accept. The New York Cricket Club's recpios: to have the league schedule changed to the ex tent of playing half its matches on ihe new! grounds at Ambrcs Park was refusetd by the 1 committee for the reason that the grounds 1 were no: in fit shape for first vrir ke: 1 and probably would not be for the bos; par: of the season.
