AUTO CLUB'S NEW HOME. Will Be Located in the Neighborhood of Vanderbilt Avenue and Park Place. It now seems extremely probable that the Long Island Automobile Club will locate Its new borne near the corner of Vanderbilt avenue and Park place. The board of governors has approved a proposition and authorized a committee, of which Alfred Wilmarth is chairman, to sign the necessary contracts. The specifications provide for one of the best combined garages and club rooms In the metropolitan districts.

It would be bard to beat the section, too, on the score of general convenience. The club, according to the terms of Its agreement with the Long Island Railroad, may be dispossessed of Its occu-Dancy of the old quarters on Hanson place. so the new plans will be put through with all possible speed.

C. In a hotly contested game by a score of 11 to 10. At Saratoga avenue and Macon atraet: 123466789 R. H. E- Secretary Cornelius Fellow'es, of the Coney Island Jockey Club, this morning knocked in the head the revival of the report that the various racing assiciations under the Jurisdiction of the Jockey Club had decided upon radical advance in the schedule of admis sion prices to the various race courses.

There is absolutely no truth In tho report," declared Mr. Fellowes, "and I know of no reason why the yarn should havo been re vived. At no time havo the officials of the Coney Island Jockey Club ever even thought of such a move and It has never been dlB-cussed, either officially or informally. The yarn is made out of whole cloth." The 3t.me report was circulated some days ago and denied at tho time. According to the newest rumor, the Coney Island Jockey Club would, at the beginning of its coming meeting, which begins a week from Thursday at Slieopahcad Bay, raise the price of admission to tbo grand stand from $2 to S3 and the admission to the free field from 75 cents to 11.50.

It was said that the Brighton Beach association was In line and would adopt tho same schedule, while at Saratoga the prices would be boosted from to 6. The reason given for tho proposed advance was that since the closing of the poolrooms the attendance at the tracks has been greatly ncreased by tho attendance of persons that are objectionable. It was declared that If the prices of admission were raised, these persons would not be able to pay tho rates. By the majority of racing men, however, the story Is looked upon as a part of the scheme of the poolrooms In their fight against the tracks. Mr.

Fellowes asked that It be made per fectly clear that there was absolutely no ntentiou on the part of the racing assocla tlons to increase the prices of admission now or in the future. With tho running of the Suburban Handl cap but ten days away, Interest In the big race grows apace. From present prospects the Meld that will go to the post will be about as large as that which faced Starter Fitzgerald In the Brooklyn Handicap, wriile It Is certain that McChesney will not be a starter and that Waterboy may not be got ten ready in time, these are the only two likely absentees among the top-weights. According to present plans both Hermls and Africander, which are also being pointed for the World's Fair Handicap to be run at St. Louis a week after the Suburban, will both be atarters in the Suburban.

It la probable that Mr. Kcene will start bis great 3 year old Delhi, and If he doea Interest in the race will be equally aa great, If not greater, than waa that In the Brooklyn. In speaking of the crowd that la likely to be at tho Sheepshead Bay course on the dny of the race, a well known racing man to-day said: "Sheepshead Bay alwaya did have the other tracks beaten a block In the matter of attendance. There never haa been a year when there were not more people who went to nee the Suburban run than went to the Brooklyn. There were 45.000 persons at Gravesend to see The Picket carry off the rich prlxe, and based on all previous records the site of the crowd thai will see the Suburban run should be something over 50,000." The regular spring meeting of the Buffalo Racing Association, which begina at Konll-worth Park to-day, gives promise of being the best In the history of the club.

Secre tary John Bodcn aays that there are more and better horaes quartered at the track than ever before and that there la every prospect of a most successful three weeks' sport. Tho Buffalo Derby, which will be run on Saturday, la the feature or the meeting and In It are eligible some of the best 2 year olda In training. The race la al a mil and a quarter for 3 year olds and baa a guaran teed value of 16.000. Among the ellglblea are Grenade, Hello. Magistrals, Grailallo, Sailor Knot, Fort Hunter.

Y. F. 000200100-3 4 4 Club Opens Season With Race Won by Cora. (Special to the Eagle.) Woodmere, L. June 6 The Keystone Yacht Club opened its season on Saturday afternoon.

Commodore John J. Wood re viewed the fleet. Shortly before 1 o'clock the preparatory gun for the yachts to get ready for the first race of the season was git en. Unfortunately, only one class filled, that of Class 20 feet and over, in which four boats Btarted. Tho other boats, many of which were badly damaged by the Bevero storm of last fall, could not be gotten in condition for Saturday's races.

The' race was a pretty one, the yachts hanging well together from start to finish. It was won by Cora, owned by Bert Mott, with Viva, owned by Dr. E. Smith, second, and Mattle, owned by Commodore John J. Wood, third.

Stroller, owned by Homer ran aground, but finished the race. A reception and dance was held at the club house following the race. LOCAL OARSMEN FORCED TO SCUD BEFORE STORM. lively Times at Rowing Club When Wind Came Swooping Down, The rowing clubs on Gravesend and Sheepshead Bays were busy places yesterday. Every available boat was pressed into service.

When the storm came In the afternoon there was some great hustling to get to cover. A pleasure party consisting of a four and slx-oared barge of the Varuna Boat Club, which had been to Rockaway Point for the day, did not dare to put out when It wag time to leave for home, and waited for the storm to subside, arriving at tne. club noat long after dark. lnese two barges were captained by Tom McCormack and Joseph Decker. The singles and doubles of the club were all engaged throughout the day.

Next Sunday the iUtre club, manning all the boats that the organization can corral, will spend the day as guests of the Jamaica Bay' Yacht Club r. Jamaica Bay. Dinner will be served there and a Jolly good time is an tlcipated. On August 1, in return for the hospitality of the Jamaica Bay Club, members of the Varuna Club will repeat the minstrel show recently given at the Germania Assembly rooms. Tho show will this time be given at Kockaway.

There Is quite a little feeling In the club at present over the proposal to raise the membership limit from 110 to 125. Many claim that the boat club Is now crowded enough. Those in favor of tho idea, how ever, contend that as soon as the membership limit is raised, eighteen men, now on the watting list for membership, will Join the club. The fleet of the organization will then be materially Increased by the purchase of a number of new boats. The mat- tor la at present tabled, but will be acted upon at the next meeting, At the Sheepshead Bay Club considerable speed rowing was undertaken.

The four-oared gig, with Judge Tlghe at stroke, Roberta at No. O. Rogan, No. 1, and B. Carey In the bow, was sent along for a fifteen mile row, coxswained by F.

Shea. The last five miles ended in a spurt In which the work of Judge Tlghe aurprlsed even his most sanguine admirers. This boat will run in the Intermediate four-oared gig race of the Long Island regatta, with Kogan stroking, Rob orts at No. 3, Mockler at No. Carey, bow, and E.

Cowan holding the ropes. The men will start active training thla week for ho event. F. Shea, W. Shea, G.

Rogan and E. Carey were out In singles. On Gravesend Bay a barge party of the Nautilus Club visited Staten Island for dinner under the command of Lieutenant Graticna. This psrty returned just before the storm. The new four-oared gig which ar rived at tho boat house from Nyack last week and which la to be used In the Eagle cup race thla year, waa given Ita Initial trip.

It was found to be a splendid boat and the men have every- hope of winning the event with It. The crew will be en tered when picked In the New York Bay regatta on the Harlem, on July 23. The crew for thla boat waa out yesterday and alao the ahell crew, both doing good work. The usual Wednesday night dance is on the card for thla week. Another club which sent a crow to Staten Island for dinner waa tho Brooklyn Rowing Club.

Twenty-three membera, manning the six and eight oared barges, made the trip. Captain Dunne was In charge of the eight and Trainer Joe Paul commanded the alx. After a pleasant time the men returned and teeing the storm approarning deter mined to have a race of It for the boathoute. The contest was a yery pretty one and was witnessed by hundreds along tne shore. Captain Dunn won out by a narrow margin with his crew, but the alx-oared barge gave him a hard run, deiplte the fact that It took In considerable water and did not have men who are supposed to be aa strong aa those In the elght-oared barge, Contain Dunn, who, rowing for the Metro.

The da nee scheduled for last Wednes dsy which wss postponed owing to lbs ID' clement weather will lake place next Wednesday. HOMING PIGEON RACE.

JOURNEY BEGINS ON JULY 6. Twenty-five Entries Received to Date. Start-OfE Buoy at Rockaway Inlet. Boats entered In the Eastern Yacht Club ocean race from New York waters to Mar-blehead, which is to start off at 3 o'clock P.M. off Rockaway Inlet on Wednesday, July 6, have been ordered to rendez vous off the Atlantic Yacht Club the day before the one set for beginning the long eastward journey.

The Sea Gate Corinth' ians who have extended the privileges of their clubhouse and anchorage to the Mar- blehead men regret very much that a great many yachts of the club will be away on the annual cruise which starts at Larchmont on July 5. Twenty-flve entries have already been re ceived for the ocean race. Included in the number are craft with excellent records, owned by the best amateur tars In the country. The schooners Hope, Leslie, Under-cliffe, Chanticleer, Sachem and Indra and the sloops Effort, Aspirant, Mira, Altair Anoatok and Surprise are well known to every enthusiast of yacht racing. The scene at the rendezvous off the Atlantic anchor age should be a brilliant one.

The starting line will be established between a white flag on the committee steam er ana the bell buoy off Rockaway Inlet. The bell buoy Is to be left to port. From there the beats will lay a course for Nantucket Shoals Light Vessel, leaving the same on the port hand and passing near enough to be spoken and identified. The finish will be between Marblehead Lighthouse and a committee boat. The latter will be left to starboard In crossing the line.

During the day the committee boat will fly a large Eastern Yacht Club flag. At night four lights in a vertical line will be shown, the two upper being red and the others white. Yachts starting in the race must carry a racing number on each side of the mainsail and also be provided with a night signal, showing the same number. For the purpose of report and identification, the boats are requested to show their night signals if pass ing Highland Light, Cape Cod. after dark All competitors are to be in cruisinsr trim Silver cups are to be awarded to the win ner in each class.

Other prizes will be given in classes wnere mere are a sufficient num ber of starters. Each yacht completing the 331 mile course will receive a trophy suitably engraved In commemoration of the struggle, which promises to be a hard one. The full Hat of entries to date follows: SCHOONERS. L. W.

The son of Goldfinch Widow Cllquot won the Great American Stakes In such an Impressive manner on Saturday that It does not look as If any of the colts have anything on him.

Song and Wine has been a gold mine for Newton Bennington, he having corralled the Juvenile, Laureate, Expectation and Great American stakes, making him the largest winning two- year-old of the season so far. There aro those who believe that Song and Wine waa not at his best when Tanya beat him down the hill at Morris Park and stand ready to bet their bank rolls that the Bennington champion can beat Mr. Duryea's crack flliy on a flat track. The next meeting of tno. pair will be decidedly interesting.

Just at present the ring operations of plunger Joe Yeager is the talk of the race track. Just how much the beardless young man who bets thousands on the result of a race and wiii3 or loses without a quiver, Il ahead sinco the Beason began no one but Yeager knows and he isn't telling. A fair estimate, however, might place his total winnings at close to $100,000. The ring felt, tho result of Yeager's play on When the odds went up for the opening race, he quickly placed 12,000 on W. B.

Jennings Ally Gold Money to win, getting as good aa I to 1 for all of It, and $5,000 for the place. The race netted him about $15,000. A good part of these winnings went on Highball, the weight of the money forcing the Schettel horse's price down from 3 to 1 to 11 to 5. Highball lost. In the fifth race Yeager.

split a modest wager for him on Brush up, placing $2,500 straight and $2,500 place at 13 to 6 and even. His biggest bet of tho day was made on Stuyve, who is a favorita of Joe'a, In the last race. On the Stuyvesant gelding, Yeager bet $10,000 at average odda of 8 to 5, quitting the day something llko $25,000 winner. Bryn Mawr's magnificent victory In tho Broadway Stakes on Saturday only serves to Intensify the Interest in the running of tho Brooklyn Derby which takes place at Gravesend on Saturday next. So gradual but sura has been the Improvement made by tho handsome big son of Athellng-Maggle Weir, that there are many who believe that In Saturday's meeting James R.

Keene's crack. Delhi, will not have the easy time It was at flrst thought be would to win. With each race Bryn Mawr seems to get better. That he 1 one of the gamest colts that ever looked through a bridle no man who saw hia race on Saturday can doubt. True Delhi has won all of his racea easily, galloping home In both the Withers and the Belmont, but ho will have to lower Bryn Mawr'a colors before he can be conceded to be the best of the season's 3 year olda.

On its face Saturday'a great mile and half event gives promise of being a horao race from end to end. Beside Bryn Mawr and Delhi there are eligible Broomstick, Highball, Conjurer. Montresson, Rapid Water and othera, shaping up as one of the beat looking fields of 3 year olda that aver went to th post for the rich stake. There waa a rumor at the track on Saturday that 15. E.

Smatbera had become dissatisfied with the manner In which Trainer Frank Taylor baa been handling the Smathera horses and that the owner of McChesney was on the lookout for a new man to handle his Eastern string. Mr. Smathera la said to bo a big loser aa a result of the recent defeat of Witchcraft. Dick Bernard and Leonlda and belli ves that the horses would do better In other handa. Mr.

Smathera, however, la one of the gamest sportsmen on the turf and If he contemplates making a change hla reasons must be of the beat. McChesney, by the way, was shipped to the West yesterday. Hlldebrand continues his good work la tha saddle, and seems to have but on aerloua fault. That la hla Inclination to "rough It."

An era of prosperity is being enjoyed by the Brooklyn club this season, the first in several years. The Western trip was a good one financially, while the games at home and in Manhattan have been exceedingly remunerative to date. This is especially true of the Sunday features, and the management i only awaiting the adjustment of the Sunday ball question to make radical changes in the makeup of the team. Ill other words, should the decision of the courts be favorable to a continuance of the game3 on Sunday, without possible interference, the club will consider itself JusLi-tied in making an outlay for strengthening purposes commensurate with the increased patronage and receipts. Manager Hanlon thinks he can, in time, make a winner of his present outfit, but should the Sunday ball question be decided favorably, he would not hesitate a moment to secure a bunch of stars calculated to send Brooklyn shooting up the league ladder.

The outlay would be. great, but with a clear field the club will cut loose, so to speak, and build up a team that would rival the great aggregation of 1SD9, which, by the way, would now be making such teams as New York. Cincinnati end Chicago look mediocre were It still intact. A couple of pitchers and two new Inflelders are all that Hanlon would need to bring the present Superbas up to the standard. These are hard to get nowadays, but prosperous times bring good luck in the matter of building up ball players vide the success of Mc-Grnw and Kelley with New York and Cincinnati.

Were there another war, Hanlon would have plain sailing, but even with organized base hall perfected as it is at present the material can be secured with a proper outlay of money. It will be done when conditions make it necessary. It is not difficult to discovpr where the present team Is weak. A glance over the pitching department fails to disclose one twirler who classes with such stars ns Mc-Oinnity, Mathewson. Phlllippe.

Weimer. Kahn and others. That Brooklyn i-hould have one or two such goes without saying. Some of those now on the stnff have done good work, but it has been of the irratlc sort, the kind that does not develop sensational stars. At short, Charley Babb ha3 not eomo up to expectations.

His playing Is of the In and out order, paralleling the toy who was very very good or very, very bad, as the notion took him. Unfortunately, the shortstop Is consistently bad In tight places and has lost a number of games by his inability to rise 10 emergencies. Strang has failed to make a success at second and from present tndica tlons It looks as if his stay on the team ii limited. Jordan showed his best yesterday, when he accepted twelve chances in faultless style and made the hit that brought home two runs In the first Inning, hut he figures only fair as second basemen go. Generally speaking, the team Is many things shy on team work, particularly at the bat and on the bases.

The hit and run game appears to he lost art, except where Sheck-ard and Lumley are Involved, while a timely bit is as Infrequent as a fly In December. There has been uniformly bad work In the field, the team having avernged nearly four errors to the game thus far. which have had the unhappy faculty of proving eosfly. tlnne after game hns been lost through blunders In the field of the halrbralned sort. The offenders have shown a keen knowledge of the right things to do In practice, but when It comes to the real game they cannot or will not catch on.

I'nless they do the unexperted and develop the right kind of work, they seem destined to occupy a second division position, about where they arc row. Bob Emails made a rtoclelon yesterday that under the rules appears to have been Illegal. It happened In the sixth, when with Jacklltseh on first, Jordan popped up a fly back of the pitcher, which Wagner trapped. Branifleld. who received the throw touched Jordsn before he reached first and then turned and tagged Jacklltseh, who remained at the base, believing the umpire would rail an Infield fly.

Hule 11 says a base runner may be put out by being touched any time hefore any ra.se runner following him In the batting order be put out, unless the umpire should decide the hit of the batsman to be an Infield fly. As Brans-field touched Jordan flrst, Jacklltseh waa not forced and waa therefore entitled to Drat base. It Is learned on good authority thai Pitts burg has signed Pitcher Lynch of Brown, and that the college twirler will pitch hit first professional me against the Bostons next Saturday. The Pittsburg, by the way, An their form here, rannct hope to win the pennant for the fourth time, as Barney Iireyfuss so confidently experts. It looks now as jf New York.

Clnrinnstl and Chlca-go would beat them out. In fact, fourth place Instead of a fourth pennant appears to be theirs. Tha Chlragnt, leaders In the pennant race, begin four days series here tn-dny and the boms fans will have an opportunity of wit-aeaalng some fast playing. The Cuba are brilliant lot of hall players, combining ability to swst the hall and field It splendidly with some of the heal pitching In the league. They promise to be (actors In the raee right to (he finish.

Mat ters went wrong with the Southern young man from the moment he got up to assail a late breakfast and continued to do so until sundown. His bath was not of the proper temperature, tho cross eyed waitress at his boarding house spilled salt over his right shculder and he passed a red headed negro on his way to tho grounds, a hoodoo combination that no well regulated Tennesseean could hope to overcome.

Dobbs would really have begged a day off under the circumstances had not Manager Hanlon been in bad humor fis a result of Saturday's unpleasantness. So the Brooklyn center fielder bowed to tne inevitable and played his best against fate. The result was as he expected. Everything he did went wrong. On his first time up he struck out with Sheckard at second base, an Incident thai only proved a forerunner of what was to follow.

His muff of Bransfleld'g fly in the third, a difficult play by the way but one which under more favorable circumstances Dobbs would have eaten up, gave the Pirates 3 runs and the game. That was the quintessence of his hard luck during tho day, but not all. In the same inning, after forcing Lumley, Dobbs tried to run from first to third on Jacklitsch's bunt and was doubled up, Umpire Emslie apparently listening to the voice of the hoodoo and declaring hlin out on a close play. In the fifth, with Sheckard and Lumley on the bases, Dobbs put all his energy In an attempt to defy the fates and make a base hit, but his best resulted In a pop fly to Hiichey. Then, In the seventh, he made a catch that was in every way more difficult than the one he muffed earlier In tho day, oniy to again havo things gj wrong when he essayed to double up Beaumont at second, Babb muffing the throw.

The climax came in tho second htlf when Johnny sent vicious swipe to.vard right. Bransfleld beat the ball down and Dobbs gave up his battle apainst fate In disgust. He bad no more chances. Bnslng a criticism of the game by the standard of perfection, a height the Superbas have reached but seldom this season, the Pirates should have been shut out, Instead of winning by the rather familiar margin of a single run 4 to 3. Errors of commission and omission were so thick when the visitors got men on bases that they could not help but score, and the only wonder Is that they did not pile tip a bigger total.

his la explained by their Inability to make much of an Impression on Garvin. Actually. Garvin deserved a different outcome. When It Is said that the visitor made their four runs off only one clean hit, the elongated twirler Is entitled to sympathy. Instead of criticism.

True, the Pirates made two other hits to help along their score, but one could Just aa well have been recorded aa an error, while the other went aa a single because of Fred Jacklitsch's inability to master the simple rudiments that go to make up a flrst baseman. All the trouble was confined to the third and seventh Innings. The thlri Just filled up and overflowed with disaster. Our boys hod aectired what looked like a comfortable lead at the start by a pretty bit of team work at the hat against "Deacon" Phlllippe, In which Sheckard. Jacklltseh and Jordau contributed two runs.

Inasmuch aa Garvin waa going along at a nice rate and Sheckard hid annihilated Sehrlng at the plate In the second by a superb throw from left, there seemed nothing to It but a string ol goose-eggs for the championa. Estimating the product Iveness of geese In base hall, however, tallica exactly with the foolishness of counting chickens In embryo. The fans were enlightened on that score in the aforesaid third. Leach led off with a alow grounder to Babb. The latter fumbled the ball, but considering the speed of Lrarh and ihe tardy movements of the sphere, the Utile Pirate waa rrediled with a hl.

Beaumont bunted and was asfe ou linrvlns fumble. Clarke walked, filling the bases, a situation that gave rise to varied emotions as Wagner came to bat. Big llonua failed to do the expected that la. win a pair of, shoes. Instead, he gave Babb a chance to redeem himself, his (rounder i lorclng Leach at the plate, while the Dutch man escaped being doubled up at first only by eyeisan.

Even at that, the visitors should have been blanked. Branallrld, Ihe next baiter, belted a liner loward left renter which Dobbs reached and then muffed. Had he held the ball, an easy double play would have reunited, as Clarke had reached third when Ihe ball landed. Beaumont and Clark cored and Wagner followed on gebrlng'a out. A brilliant symposium of the hit and run gsme by Sherkard and Lumley tied Ihe score In Brooklyn's half, but thereafter, the locals blew up In the matter of runs.

Th seventh Inning was almost a duplies! nf the third. The Pirate had the bases full with nobody out, but they could get only one run. enoutb, howerer, to win out. Lea singled. Beaumont waa safe on Me-Cormlrk's wid throw snd Clsrk beat nut bunt, whlrb Jsrklltarh should have takes had he known how.

Watner reused the same emotions that prevailed en tha previous or. raalon. Ha did only shade better this litre, his fly lo Iiobhs scoring Leech. A fast double play with M-Cnrmlrk aa the central Jour prevented further trouble. with MrCnrmlrk at the half way station In th.
