Reports from training headquarters are to the effect that Johnny Hayes Is In excellent shape for his third Marathon race against Dorando Pietri in Manbattantbis evening. Hayes won the Olympic at London, but Dorando came to this country and defeated the world's champion on Thanksgiving Day eve. This contest is In the nature of a "rubber" between the two.

Dorando has been beaten only three times tn his twenty-five starts since landing in America. The followers of both the Italian and the American are positive that the indoor record over the Marathon distance will be lowered In Monday night's race.

MANY STARS ENTER GAMES OF NEW YORK A. C.

Many prominent athletes will be seen to-morrow night in the big indoor meet of the New York Athletic Club.

Every event includes men of such noted excellence in their respective lines of athletic endeavor that close finishes are sure to be the rule.

WEARY SUPERBAS REST AFTER WEEK OF TOIL Doc. Marshall Reports and Brooklyn Team Is Complete With Exception of Jordan. 'Special to the Eagle.) Jacksonville, March IB With the arrival of Doc Marshal yesterday, the Superba camp Is complete, with the exception of Tim Jordan, who is expected here any time. Marshall brought with him bis sheepskin as an M. having passed bis examination in Chicago.

Tho camp is, therefore, well supplied with medical attendants, Scanlon now having a rival or, as somebody put It, a consulting physician. However, Scanlon Is also a surgeon of considerable experience, adding to the advantages of the Superbas. It Is said that Manager Lumley proposes to pair Scanlon and Marshall at every opportunity, in order that Brooklyn may have the unusual feature of a real medico battery. The Question arises: What chance will an opposing team have against such a combination Sunday was Quietly spent by the hardy athletes, who welcomed the rest afforded. Some of them spent it In characteristic style.

For instance, Whitey Alperman and Kaiser Wilhelm went to Pablo Beach and walked ten miles, picking coqulna shells. They also picked up as beautiful a coat of sunburn as any one could find on a March day. Quite a party went to St. Augustine, and came back with wonderful tales of antiquity. The St.

Augustine invaders went bathing, and took part in a nine inning ball game on- South Beach, which the leaguers won by 5 to 3. At one stage, Rucker and Catterson collided and the latter injured his toe so badly that he will have to suspend practice for a day or two. Nap escaped without anything more than a shaking up. Another party went to the ostrich farm. Lennox, Dunn, Kustus and Pastorius walked back, a distance of six miles.

Lennox pulled up lame, owing to a tight shoe, but the others were quite fresh; so was Doc Scanlon, who took the automobile route. Practice will be resumed to-morrow, but there will be no exhibition game. Manager Lumley Says there is more benefit to be derived from batting and fielding work than regular games.and has refused the advances of tho Jacksonville people to play every day. Consequently, the regulars and Daly's colts will not clash until. Tuesday, while the Jackios will not be seen in battle again with the Superbas until Tuesday.

All cames between the regulars and the colts will last only about five or seven innings, and will be followed by an hour or so of real work. It Is altogether likely that Brooklyn will carry at least twenty players this year, Manager Lumley belnir disinclined to be caught napping, as was Donovan last fall, when the Superbas went along for time witnout a regular catcher, The "Judge" is figuring on retaining three backstops, while the seven pitchers are also to remain. There will be six inflelders and four outfielders, twenty In all. Just what will become of Tim Jordan, Lumley will not say at present, nut it is almost certain that Hummell will start the season at first base and finish it tdo, unless accidents happen. Jordan may figure in a deal if one can be pulled off.

Jimmy Sebring had an attack of stomach trouble yesterday and disclosed a trait that made a very favorable impression In the camp. Somebody recommended whisky and bitters, but Jimmy refused flatfooted. "The minute I was informed that I had been reinstated," he said, made up my mind never to touch a drop of spirituous liquor, and I'm going to adhere to that determination. Not even for medicinal purposes, no matter what happens." Doc Scanlon prescribed something else that was "just as good." Following the dispatch in Saturday's Eagle, regarding the yarn about Dahlen, Manager Lumley this morning received assurances by telegraph from President Ebbets that he had no intention of sign ing uanien as manager. There is absolutely no truth in that report," wired Ebbets.

"You will unquestionably manage the Brooklyn team. I have never, and never will, swap horses in the middle of a stream." The members of the Brooklyn team aro pleased with the changes made in the scoring, and express the hope that the rule makers will go further and secure uniform judgment on base hits throughout the circuit. They allege that much favoritism is shown toward home players in Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis, where hits are given that would be charged as errors elsewhere. It is said that the scorers in Pittsburg favor Hans Wagner on every opportunity, and as a result the big Dutchman cannot help but lead the league each year.

The time he was beaten out by Uy Seymour, it is alleged, the Cincinnati scorers went the Pittsburg scribes a few hits better in the scramble that marked the wind up of the season. It will be remembered that the two were nock and neck toward the end of that season, and Seymour bvat Hans out in the laat game or two. According to a player who Jlgured in the final games in Redland, Seymour got four hits in one of the contests, not one of which was clean. Two Brooklyn players are authority for the statement that the Pittsburg scorers give Wagner more than Is coming to him, citing instances where easy grounders were clearly fumbled and then thrown wild, yet Wagner got his base hit. These players have no grouch and do not want to cast any reflections, but merely state these cases because of the unfairness that prevails.

They aver that if home batters are compelled to earn their hits cleanly In other cities, the rules should be adhered to Just as strictly in the three towns mentioned. SEASON OPENS MARCH 28 AT MEYERROSE PARK. The season at Mcyerrose Park will open on Sunday, March 28, when Dan Brouther's Colts will oppose Hussey'j Ridgewoods. George Wiltse will pltcn for the visitors and a son of Dan Brouthers will cover first base. For the Ridgewoods Llndemann and Farmer will be in the points and "Lefty" Davis will cover right field.

Anson's Colts will appear at Meyer-rose Park in April. Dan Brouthers is trying to arrange a series of games between his team and that of Anson, in which case both the veterans will cover first base. Tho Loughlin Lyceum team is seeking revenge for Its defeat by the Ridgewoods last season and will be the attraction on April 4, Dorschcr and Llnde mann being the opposing pitchers. On April 11 there will probably be a double-header, when the contenders will be John McGrath's All-Nationals and the Brlghtons, the winner to meet Ridge-wood. Ernest Lindemann and Al Farmer will be the Ridgewood battery this season, having come to an agreement with Manager Hussey last week.

ZIEN OUT OF EACE. Harry Zirn of Brooklyn was eliminated from the supplementary series to decide the tripple tie for the New York State chess championship by losing his game with L. R. Eisenborg, at the Manhattan Cheas Cub, yesterday. In a Ruy Lopez and resigned after thirty-four move3.

Elsenberg will meet C. S. Howell of the Brooklyn Chess Club In the third and deciding game at the Manhattan Chess Club, March 21. With the Southern golfing season Juat reaching Its zenith and all the winter resorts in Florida, Augusta and the Caro-llnas teeming with happy golfers, interest In the game at this season of the year In the North is just about as near bed rock as it is possible to imagine. Murky skies and sodden and snowbound links are not calculated to induce more than the most rabid enthusiast to venture far afield, so that there is little consolation left for the stay-at-home other than the anticipation of a good time to come or the study of the tourna ment dates as one by one they are given out to an expectant public.

There are still a number of important events requiring the attention of those appointed to look after such matters, but apart from these the list as it stands makes fairly interesting study. So far the Boston district has been remarkably silent, but this Is not surprising considering so many of the ruling spirits have seen fit to hie themselves away this winter to sunny lands. As compared to this lethargic state of the Bostoniana the metropolitan and Western bodies have been working overtime recently. The latter organization has practically assigned all of its leading fixtures and has supplemented these with a list of club tournaments that bids fair to keep the golfer liard at work when he does get a start. Indeed, there la every indication that the coming season will be the busiest Irom a competitive standpoint in the history of the game in the West.

It is also worthy of note that, with the exception of the competition for the Tom Morris Memorial trophy, which Is fixed for June 16, the events already scheduled for the Chicago district will take place for the most part throughout August and the early part of September. Busy Season in the West. Beginning July 8, Westward Ho Club will hold a three-day tournament, and the following week the Glenview Club will devote four days to another invitation tourney. This will be followed on July 24 by the team match among Exmoor, On-wentsla. Glenview and Midlothian clubs lor permanent possession of the Marshall Field trophy, the trustees of the Field estate having refused to further support the contest, and two days later Westerners will embark, on a week of golf that will decide who- is to be amateur champion of the Western Golf Association for the year.

A four-day invitation event will also be managed by those who look after the affairs of the Skokie Club during the first week of August, and immediately behind this will come the Chicago city championship under the auspices of the Jackson Park Golf Club. The Western junior championship and the women's Western championship will finish out the month. Indeed, the latter extends from August 31 to September 4 land brings the schedule right up to the amateur championship of the United States Golf Association, which is due to commence at Wheaton, 111., September 6 to 11. When this big event has been decided interest will merely switch around to the Western open championship at Skokie the following week. Many of the college golfers will, however, be denied the opportunity of entering the open tournament, as the intercollegiate championship starts at Apawamia the same week.

Many of the Western clubs have still to announce their dates, so that the season in the middle West will be even busier than the present fixtures indicate. Some of these clubs have declared their intention of starting their club schedules earlier than usual, so that players will have an opportunity of doing full justice to the events as they appear and of rounding into shape by hard practice. The championship season has already actually commenced if the doings in the South are to be considered, and almost from now on to the end of April some title or other will be the means of gathering the golfing legions together. The past two weeks have seen both an open and an amateur champion crowned on the links at Palm Beach, and, following the spring tournament scheduled to begin on March 17, both the women's and men's North and South championships will be decided. Even when the interest In competitive golf has been switched away far North Southerners will be finding something to interest them In the nature of tournaments.

Many Conflicts in May. To revert again to the Northern schedule, it is distinctly unfortunate that so many of the local organizations should have decided on the last week in May for their championship games. In the Metropolitan district alone three such meetings are scheduled and. unless something drastic is done, the indications are that there will be a deal too much golf of the serious nature about this time. During this week also tho Women's Golf Association of Philadelphia will gather its forces on championship business at Spring Haven.

June will be ushered in by the stars of New Jersey gathering at Montclalr to decide who in the absence of Jerome D. Traverses the best golfer in the state. BASEBALL SCHEDULE OUT. Amateur League Will Start Championship Season on Grounds of Crescent A. C.

Play for the championship of the Amateur Baseball League will start on Memorial Day. The first game will be played on the grounds of the Crescent Athletic Club and the visiting nine will bo the of the Staten Island Cricket and Lawn Tennis Club. The last game is scheduled for August 14 and will bring together the Englewood Field Club and the New York Athletic Club at Travers Island, and the Montclair Athletic Club and tho South Orange Field Club at South Or'auge. The Crescent Athletic Club, which finished third last year, expects to do considerably better thlB season. The team contains many former college stars.

More than a little comment Is heard In sporting circles on the coming Jack O'Brien-Stanley Ketchell bout, which Is to take place before the National Athletic Club, Manhattan. O'Brien tried to have the contest come off on the coast, but the Western sports would have none of him because of his questionable methods with Tommy Burns. Jack McGuigan of Philadelphia induced Ketchell to try conclusions with the "confessor" in the Quaker City and had almost concluded arrangements for the bout when the New York club stepped in with better inducements and Wlllus Britt, manager of Ketchell, turned the Philadelphia pro- motor down.

Just how the bout will draw, it is hard to say, for O'Brien has but few more friends about New York than ho has in the West. He has ad mitted that he faked with Burns and tho real fight fan has no use for one of his caliber. O'Brien Is admittedly one of the cleverest middlewejghts we have ever had and although out of the ring for a long time, except for some petty affairs, he has taken care of himself and there is Ho reason why he should not be capable of giving a good account of himself with Ketchell. The champion has no claim to being clever. He Is one of the Kid La-vigne style of fighters, tearing in with both hands flying like flails, and a blow from either is liable to send his opponent on the slumber route at any time.

Leaving O'Brien's previous bad work out of the question and allowing that he will give an honest exhibition of his skill in the coming contest, it should be one of the best atractions the National Club has offered. It will be skill against strength, and which will win in this instance It Is hard to say. Sailor Burke, the local middleweight has Anally gotten the chance that he claims he has been looking for. On the 22d of this month he is scheduled to meet Jack "Twin" Sullivan, the Boston middleweight who defeated Jim Stewart at the Marathon Athletic Club last Monday night. The sailor declares that he Is willing to meet any middleweight In the world, and that, if given the chance, he will prove that ha is as good as any man in his class The only exception that Charley makes is Sam Langford.

If Burke Is successful with Sullivan he will no after the middleweight champion, Stanley Ketchell-. The champion, since his arrival In New York, has announced his willingness to make the weight for Burke, and a match now hinges only upon Burke's success with Sullivan. The, experts should have very little trouble In picking the winner of the Tommy Murphy-Owen Moran bout at the Fairmont Athletic Club on to-morrow night. Both the boys have trained with but one object In view to win before the limit. Tommy's hand Is all right again, as Owen will realize before the bout has progressed very far.

Leach Cross is getting his wallop in shape for his old friend. Packey McParland, on March 23. It is either live or die as a fighter with T.enh aftev i. i uuuu, ailll lie IW1UWB lb. Johnny Loftus will look after him.

Jim Stewart will be kept buoy fllllm? engagements for the next few weeks. On Wednesday he will meet Ed Casey in a six-round bo at Philadelphia. The week following he will show against an unknown In Bridgeoort, and then he is to ba hooked up with Sandy Ferguson at Boston. The Bedford Athletic Club directors have decided to hold entertainments twice a week hereafter and have picked Tuesday and Saturday evenings for their shows. "Cyclone" Johnny Thompson Is finding It difficult to get matches.

The manner In which he dropped Mickey Gannon twice at their recent meeting showed that he Is a dangerous lad for anyone in his class. Several of the local clubs are trying to find some one to meet him and It Is likely that he will exhibit his prowess In Brooklyn before long. Eddie Stoddard lost twenty pounds in the Stewart-Sullivan bout at the Marathon Athletic Club the other night. Jack McAuJIffe savs that after a few move fights he will give Eddlo a chance with Johnny Conlon, If the latter is willing. The Bert Keyes Association, 150 strong, has sent in its application for membership in the Marathon A.

C. and all will be on hand tonight to root for Bert, when Keyes meets Johnny Frayne. The fight should be a good one. The members of the Swedish-American are to have the opportunity of Beelng one of the most promising young lightweights who has appeared In the local clubs plnce the game revived. Willie Brennen is the boy and the way he has been toppling over his opponents stamps him as a lad of more than ordinary ability as a fighter.

Ho is scheduled tn meet Freddie Dinples to-morrnw night. If he succeeds In getting past Freddie, he will be sent after the big ones. i Two clever welterweights will meet at the Long Acre Athletic Club to-morrow night. The boys will be Blllv Leary and Danny Savage, and al Jersey will come to Manhattan to see the scrap. There will also be a fast semi-final between Young Tucker and Mike Farrell.

Jim Donovan and Billy Rolfe will entertain the members of the Brown's Athletic Association In Manhattan to-morrow night. Other bouts will bring together Frank Conlev and Joe Hyland and Dave Katz and Joe Gordon. There wl'l also hi a wrestling bout between August Faust and Nell Olson. Paddy Sullivan, the hard-hitting Brooklyn lightweight will face Mnrtle Rowan, another Brnnklvn fighter, at the Sharkey Athletic Club In Manhattan, on Wednesday night. Paddy la an exceptionally popular fighter and the members wil undoubtedly turn out in goodly numbers to see the bout.

It should be one of the best fights of the week. PINOCHLE PLAYERS BUSY. Results of the pinochle tournament of the Charles J. Haubert Republican Battery of the Nineteenth Assembly District, Brooklyn, N. held at the headquarters on Thursday evening, March 11, 1909, were as follows: Team.

BROOKLYN MAY GET BIG TENNIS TOURNEY. The declination of the New York Athletic Club, relative to the New York State tennis championship, may land the big event at the Bay Ridge courts of the Crescent Athletic Club. None of the strong players in this section will feel sorry if this ehange is brought about, as the Travers Island courts arc not popular. Chairman Leonard Brooks of the Crescent tennis committee has not definitely declared the intention of the big Brooklyn club to assume the task as yet, but will probably do so on Friday, when the dates for the year will be awarded. I The fact that the elimination doubles championship series were taken from the Crescent Club and awarded to the West, Is expected to be an inducement to the New Moon organization to secure the New York State series.

HASSELMEYER FIBST HOME.

Capablanca hkd the white pieces In a Ruy Lopez and established an extra pawn on the Queen's wing of the board and could have forced a win by exchanging queens on the forty-fourth move. Neglecting to do this, however, ho entered upon a prolonged ending of unusual difficulty. This he flually won. ENTRIES OPEN LONGER. The entries for the Fordham University games will close on March 17.

with DiegeJ and Clust, Instead of Murch 13, as previously announced. shlp and Griscom cups at Baltusrol, tho event of tho year will be held at Engle-wood June 24 and 25 to decide the blue pihluiii ImHap nt tho onlf link for 1909. With the professionals gathered in the Metropolitan district this will be another excellent opportunity to give the New York golfing public a treat similar to that enjoyed last year by the tournament promoted by the Scottish-American golf club on Van Cortlandt Park. That the efforts of the Scots were appreciated to the full was attested by the crowds that followed the players last summer over the hills and along the meadows of Van Cortlandt, but in face of the large contract which this club will have in taking possession of the new clubhouse and links at Haworth it is doubtful if the same body will this year tackle the professional tournament. The New York Club should, however, be quite equal to the occasion.

July Is a Slack Month. At the present moment the only event Intervening between the open championship and the amateur championship, beginning September 6. which will interest Eastern golfers, is the three-day of the Apawamis Club, scheduled for. the first three days of July. The long list of events around Chicago will, however, sustain interest, as the results of these will give Eastern golfers a line on the play of those who are likely to figure prominently in the S.

G. A. championship. September will be rounded out by the Western Pennsylvania Golf Association championship at the Allegheny Country Club, and the week beginning October 4 will find the women assembled at the Merlon Cricket Club for the championship of the United States. This fixture is two weeks in advance of last year's date, but even at this it will be too late to allow of many of the younger players entering.

Some of the schoolgirl players, such as Miss Myra Helmer of Chicago, are among the most expert In the country, and It is a pity that a date has again been selected which will preclude this class from competing for the championship title. Another unfortunate clash Is to result between the women's national championship October 4 to 9 and the meeting of the seniors at Apawamis on October 7 and 8. The meetings are of course quite independent of each other, but the conflict of dates will in all probability mean that the play of tho veterans will not receive the publicity it deserves. Another event of importance down on the cards for October Is the first championship of the newly-formed Pennsylvania Golf Association. This tournament will probably start about the second week of October, and JUBt immediately preceding the Lesley Cup oontest which is to be played over the same Philadelphia course.

In compiling the following schedule of championship dates only those invitation tournaments which have been assigned by the Metropolitan Golf Association have been included: Season's Fixtures. 22-24 Lakewood; spring tournament.
