Whist. There Is always a great temptation for the dealer with what appears to be a let-up suit in black and a sure or even a probable re-entry to declare no trump when one or two tricks will win game. With a sure reentry, that Is, an ace In red, the declaration is UFtially a sound one. When the re-entry is and is not good until the second round of the suit the no trump declaration Is of rather doubtful soundness. Such a hand was played at the Brooklyn Whist Club yesterday and there was a good deal of discussion over the make.

The hand follows: Score and Z. 12; A and B. 0, ruhuer game. IValer's hand. belns dealer: Hearts None Spades K.

Entries for the service test of motor warons by the Automobile Club of American, April 4 to closed Saturday night, but two drys extra were allowed for the receipt of letters lost marked before midnight of the 26th. Eighteen vehicles an due to contest. No entries wer made In the sixth and seventh classes, only one each In the fourth and fifth classes and only two each In the third and eighth divisions. The chief interest will come In the second clsss for vehicles carrying between 1.000 1 and z.ouc pounds. In which there are to be nine contestants, two being from the same concern.

There Is evidently less Interest in and competition over waaons carrying between 8.000 and 8,000 po'icds than those under and over that tonnage. HUDSON RIVER GOLF. The Hudson River Golf Association has advanced James S. Taylor of Newburg, formerly vice president, to the post of president; W. H.

Haldam of Cold Spring takes the berth thus made vacant. There is also a new treasurer, in the person of Philip White of Nyack. The annual championship In June will be held at the Powelton Club, Newburg. PRINCETON BALL TEAM SOON LEAVES FOR SOUTH. Brooklyn Boy Leads in Friendly Fight for Position of Catcher.

(Special to the Eagle.) Princeton, N. March 29 The Princeton base ball squad will leave on its annual Southern trip next Thursday. Games will be played with the Philadelphia Athletics, the Washington American League and the Georgetown University teams. Two matches sre scheduled with the latter. The squad has just begun outdoor work, and the showing made thus far has been very encouraging.

The prospects are bright this year for a successful team, as only two places are left vacant by graduation. These two however, shortstop and first base, will be very hard to fill from the available material, and will be the weak spots on the te'am. At present Bard, 1906, substitute fielder last year, seems to have first call for the Initial bag. But he is not of real 'varsity caliber, and will have to work bard for the position. Shortstop will cause even greater anxiety and trouble for the coaches.

There are four men who have thus tar shown about equal ability, but no one of them would make a reliable man for the position. Sat-terwhlte, 1904, who seems to be the favorite now, is a man who has never appeared in baseball circles before this year and may prove to be a dark horse. Forsythe, 1904, a very erratic man; Zahinzer and Buswcll, freshmen, who are both good fielders but woefully weak at the bat, are the other candidates for the positon. As catcher, Sammy Reid, the Brooklyn boy, who filled tho position in good style last year, will In all probability hold the big mitt again this year. Quite a little rivalry i exists between him and Cooney, the big freshman tackle of last fall's championship eleven, who captained and caught for the Exeter nine for three years.

Cooney has an advantage In size and weight, but Raid's speed and accuracy In throwing will without doubt insure him the place. The other positions will remain the same aB last year, 'hat Is, Stevens, pitcher; Wells, second; Burnett, third; Underhill, pitcher and left field; Cosgrove, center field, and Davis, right. SINGLE MEN WON. The bowling match between the married and single employes of the banking house of Spencer Trask bowled on Thumb's alleys last Thursday, resulted In a double victory for the single men.

Const-dine of Detroit was the referee and the decision gave general satisfaction to the crowd. Gans outpointed Gardner in nearly every round and kept him worried with a left Jab to the face, which he used often and effectively. There was very little betting, as the odds asked against Gans were too heavy. ENTRIES FOR AMPHION TOURNEY.

Superbas Play Buffalo Two Games in Augusta This Week. LEAVE THERE FOR THE NORTH. Columbia Nine to Se Met on Thursday. Incidents of Training; Routine. (Special to the Eagle.) Columbia, S.

March 29 Manager Han-Ion has decided to take the Superbas to Augusta and play the Buffalo Eastern League team on Friday and Saturday of this week. The Columbia team will be met on Thursday only. This programme was thought advisable because the local collegians play In town on Friday and Saturday, and the grounds at the league park are still In the condition of farm land. This will be a good test for the Superbas and enable Hanlon to get a line on how they will stand up under fire. Manager Stalling! has had his Bisons at the Georgia capital three weeks and they are apt to be In splendid condition.

Augusta Is Stallings' home town, and, as he has offered Battering Inducements for a series with Brooklyn, Hanlon has changed his mind about staying here. He will take fourteen players to Augusta, leaving there for the North direct. The men left in Columbia will rejoin the Augusta party en routo. More sunshine favored the leaguers in their practice yesterday and there was no lugging at both sessions. For the first time the catchers donned the mask and wind pad and went under the bat, while the pitchers cut loose and the batters tried their hand at bunting.

Wilh few exceptions the bunch displayed considerable aptitude at both branches of the game, drawing forth praise from their mentor. To those who tailed Hanlon kept up a running fire of advice, a most importaut bit of base ball truth being handed out a follows: "The secret of bunting, my boy, is to pick out the good ones. Don't go after those high babies, because you pop them up in the air and they drop into the tureen. In other words, the catcher gets them and you're out." All of this is an open book to the thirty-third degreo rooter and will be appreciated by ball players everywhere as knowledge Well and intelligently proclaimed. Hanlon received a telegram dated Chatta-Booga yesterday and marked "Collect 30 cents." Visions of a tardy though welcome announcement to the effect that Sammy Strang and Johnny Dobbs had finally agreed on the terms offered to them pervaded the atmosphere as the dispatch was torn open.

Instead it contained the statement that Al Gilford would join the club to-day. It will be remembered that last spring Glfford practiced with the Superbas and gingered them up with all sorts of didos. He has since been appointed an Eastern League umpire, and is coming here to get Into shape and possibly offlciata in the Brooklyn-Buffalo series at Augusta. Hanlon remarked that if It had been the first of April he would have accepted the joke for what It was worth, but he intimated that Gilford would have to pay for that telegram. The manager continues his meetings every morning, the sessions taking the form of a series of lectures.

Yesterday he discoursed on bunting and pitching. ThU morning it was on hitting and running. Hand ball 1b growing popular with the players and matches are now of daily occurrence. Hanlon thinks it a great exercise and is encouraging the me. i who are over weight, especially Lumley and Loudenschlager, to play.

Cronin and Jacklitsch ari the champions, and, being enthusiastic, they play the game every morulug and afternoon, each taking Lumloy and Loudy as a partner. The latter are inveigled into doing most of the hard work and are showing the effect of It by greatly reduced weight. Up to date Cronin and Lumley have the most number of victories to their credit. AMERICANS PRACTICE DOWN IN LOUISIANA. Clarke Griffith's American League pennant aspirants arrived at New Orleans yesterday and lost no time getting in some hard practice.

The weather they found upon their arrival at the Louisiana city was a decided improvement upon that experienced at Atlanta, and the men took advantage of the changed conditions promptly. Manager Griffith had his big squad out on the ball field for more than three hours during the day and In the afternoon the Regulars and the Yannigans indulged in a practice game. Those who saw the afternoon practice declared that the Gothamites were faster and snappier than Manager Callahan's Chicago crowd, who have been In New Orleans recently. The scheme of practice was changed in the afternoon. The Regulars went to bat first and twenty-seven put-outs required in nine Innings were disposed of before the tired scrubs got a chance to lino out a few themselves.

The hitting was hard and timely. Long John Ganzel knocked out a pair of four baggers and two singles. Bliss and Wolfe got a homer each, while Chesbro batted out a triple. After the practice a number of the players who are not yet down to weight ran back from the grounds to the hotel, a distance of three miles. BROOKLYN FENCERS COMING TO THE FRONT.

The Brooklyn Fencers Club Is making great strides In the fencing world, and demonstrates that this borough has expert swordsmen. In spite of the fact that the club is Bmall, mostly composed of men who have had very little experience in public encounters, it won second place in the junior foils, team competition at the Fencers Club of New York on March 12, having to meet teams from Yale, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, N. Y. A. C.

and Now York Turn Verein. On Saturday IaBt, at the junior foils competition held in Philadelphia, under the auspices of the Philadelphia Fencers Club. J. Anderson and Dr. T.

A. Buys obtained second and third prizes. There were sixteen contestants, representing University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Philadelphia Fencers Club, New York Turn Verein, New York Fencers Club. Brooklyn Fencers Club and several unattached. BROADWAY SCORES.

NEW YORK GIANTS TO LEAVE BIRMINGHAM. The New York Giants will play the last game of their series at Birmingham, this afternoon, after which they will leave on the trip toward the North. The men all appear to be in excellent condition and about ready for the championship struggle to begin. In the fifth of the exhibition games plated yesterday Christy Mathewson pitched the first five Innings for McGraw's men, and save for the scratchiest kind of a hit made by Smith retired his opponents in one, two, three order. The feature of Matty's work In the box was the development of a new slow ball.

Dummy Taylor worked the last four innings of the game and the silent man was practically as effective as Matty. The work of the McGrawites, both at bat and in the field, was sharp and clean. They garnered ten safeties all told, an improvement over their hitting since they went South. The Birminghams failed to cross the plate once during the game, while the Giants succeeded in pattering across the rubber seven times. G.

CLEVERLY PLANNED KILLING. Some Whitney Horses to Be Sold on May 7 Better Sport at Bennings. The glorious uncertainties of horse racing were never better illustrated than when Little Woods won the second race at Bennings yesterday at the lucious odds of 12 to 1 against him. That was his post price, but earlier in the betting it was almost a case of "write your own ticket." Little Woods was bred at the New Jersey establishment of R. H.

McCarter Potter and la by Flambeau-Reckoner. As a yearling so little was thought of him that he was given to his present owner, W. L. Mankin, by Samuel Ross of the Columbia Stable. Mr.

Mankin took the "gift horse" and placed him in the bands of Trainer Billy Garth. As time went on the colt developed, not so much in proportions, but In speed. The manner In which he got over the ground in his ungainly way soon attracted the attention his trainer. Recently ho was given a real try-out and showed a remarkable fast trial. Garth told his friends what a good thing he had, but many laughed at him.

Yestcrduy ho dropped Little Woods Into the second race and told his friends to get aboard. No word had leaked into the ring about Little Woods and the select few who had the tip were able to distribute fives and tens about the ring at prices ranging as good as 30 to 1. When It came to racing, it was Little Woods all the way. At tho finish, it was a tight squeeze, but the "gift horse" managed to last long enough to win by a head. His backers are said to have cleaned up a comfortable fortune in the ring and poolrooms throughout the country.

There was a decided improvement in the sport yesterday. In fact, it was the best day that has been seen since the season began, the opening not excepted. The fields that faced the starter, except In a singlo instance, were of size. The quality of tho horses engaged showed something like class. The much Improved condition of the track is largely responsible for the liberality of owners uud trainers in sending their charges to the post.

With a continuation of anything liko pleasant weather, the racing at the Washington track from now on until the end should be of the best. There are enough animals quartered there to insure large fields and a fine medium for speculation. Whilo the sport Itself was of more class, tho results of the races proved hard for the bettors. Only two favorites succeeded in getting first past the finish line. The bookies were able to get back some of the cash they were forced to disgorge on Saturday, when five heavily backed choices and a heavily played second favorite galloped home with the long end of the purses.

Tne largest field that has gone to the poit since ihe mason opened and one of the largest that ever faced the starter at Benainga answered the bugle for the opening race, which was won by Julia M. Some people watched Julia M. gallop to an easy victory wilh Just a shade of regret. She was the same filly for which Andrew Miller, last spring, paid $7, SOU and after many discouragements resold her for less than half of what he paid. Tho filly Is by Harvest Brown Caciu and was s.

nt North from Texas with a reputation as a world beater. She was tipped far and wide, and many good dollars were burned up by wise bettors In tho reverses that Ihe filly met. H. T. Griffin, of selling war fame, sent the only two winning favorites to tho post In Conkllng and Nine Spot.

The former was a 5 to 2 on choice in the third race, a six furlong dash, and won as he pleased by four lengths. Spot carried the Griffin colors home in front in the fourth race, a seven furlong dash. The daughter of Hastings and Ninevah won almost oo Impressively as did her stable mate. Little Woods, at 12 to 1, ridden by Michaels; L'nterock. at 3 to 1, ridden by II.

I'hllllps, and Mohican, at 20 to 1, piloted by Miller, were the other winners. It is entirely prohable that Perry Belmont, the owner of Kihelbert, one of the moat popular horaee that ever looked through a bridle, will be seen on the turf again this season. Mr. Relmont sold all the anltna!) in hiB stable last fail, and his permanent retirement was announced. The love that Mr.

Belmont bnre for Ethelbert Is a matter ef knowledge among racing men, ind after the colt'B retirement from nctlve compelltlon he was placed In Ihe attid. Ho has been bred to a number of fashionable race mare, and Mr. Belmont haw retained some of his youngsters. These will prohablv form Ihe nucleus of the future Belmont stable. Speaking of Ethelhert's get.

the owner recently said: "They are a most promising lot, and you know that a good horse always attracts my attention. Even though I hpve refiolved to retire for a year or so' I mlKht be Induced to buy any horse that struck my fancy." Horses In ihe former W. C. Whitney stable that have not been leased to Herman B. Duryea will be sold at public auction at the Morris Park race track on May 7.

This Is the decision of Harry Payne Whitney. There were altogether in the W. O. Whitney string at the time of his death thlrf y-seven hornes. Of this number seventeen or eighteen have been taken by Mr.

Du-vea. The rest, Including a number of highly tried 2-year-nlds, will go to the highest bidder. Trie fact that Harry Payne Whitney has Just registered his father's famous "light blue and brown cap" for llfo with the Jockey Club gives Ihe general Impression that young Mr. Whitney's retirement from the turf but temporary.
