Great interest continues to be shown in the three-cushion billiard tournament at the Knickerbocker Academy. One of the best games played to date was between GarmanB and Foeker. Tho former had a handicap of 35 against 17 for his opponent, but he ran out in 50 innings. The play was very fast, and the winner in the twelfth Inning made a run of 0, the highest so far in the tournament. The final score was 35 to 12.

In last night's play Hormans was not In such good form, and he lost to Hoxlo by a score of 19 to 14. Sheppard, who is htndicapped at 22, defeated Churchill (18) by a score of 22 to 12. mouths.

What the Marathon Athletic Club failed to show In quality in the boxing bouts at the Clermont Avenue Rlnlc last night, It certainly made up In quantity. Seven boxing bouts and a wrestling match made up the programme, and it was well on to midnight when the show was ended.

The stellar attraction of the evening was a ten-round affair between Darkey Griffin and Jimmy Moran, the former taking the place of Wlllio Jones, who could not box because of an Injured eye. Griffin, while pounds the lighter, was far too clever for the rugged little Italian He jabbed Moran's face with stiff lefts, and swung a right to the jaw that had Jimmy on Queer street on more than one occasion. It was a fast bout and a good one, and it pleased the crowd. The semi-final between Tommy Mor-risy and Chalkey Germain did not go the six-round limit, Chalkey sending Mor-risey to grass in the fifth with a right on the jaw. Kid Burns and Bull Anderson fought six rounds that were humorouB, with Burns having a shade at the finish.

Jack Williams and Patsey Haley tried to fake It, Dut were ordered out by the referee before the bout had gone one round. Young McDonough knocked out Buck Taylor in one round, and Willie Donnelly administered the same dose to Young Fisher in three rounds. Young Bates and Georgie Dunn went four rounds to a draw, and Joe Kenny stopped Young Ctllbert in tho first round. The wrestling bout between Young Monday and Cye Jones went the limit of fifteen minutes without a fall.

He is going to pla the matter before the busmts men, using them as a wedge to i ir.e to loosen up. The end is not yet.

Jordan Hit in the Eye. The practice idea was quite good, although somewhat handicapped because the diamond around third base was fcoaked through the carelessness of some intruder who let a hydrant flow during the early morning. The lame and halt among the players greeted the sight with Jileasure, but Dahlen refused to allow liny rest, and the boys had to go through their paces during the niuruing round. Jordan was hit on the eye by a bad bounder from Scntell's bat. and has a beautiful shiner.

He is working just the fcame. In the afternoon the regulars and colts had another tussle, Burch's men this time getting sweet revenge for Saturday's defeat. The players were shifted around some, McMillan covering short for the regulars. He played a star game, Accepting eight chances and making two timely hits. All hands batted freely.

Hummell leading the way with four bin-gles and four runs in as many times at bat. Silent John played second brilliantly, and it was hinted that he tried to show up Dahlen, who covered the midway for the colts. Bill is thinking of playing second should Hummell show up poorly. The latter, however, will fitart the season. New Catchers Show TJp Well.

The regulars won by 9 to 1, registering seventeen hits in seven innings.

Umpire Wilheltti. Willie Keeler, looking in as good condition as he ever was in his life, dropped into the Eagle office, yesterday, to get letter that had been received for him. The letter was one of many that the little ball player has received, offering him a job. The communication was to the effect that if Keeler wanted a berth with the Boston team of the United States League, which is in course of organization, he could name his own terms. Speaking of his prospects for the coming season.

Keeler said that the offers he had received since being released by The Highlanders were monv. He has been Riven a chance to go with a Californin team at a good salary, but Willie said that the coitst was too far away from Trophy Gossip of the Motor To ascertain the views of the members of the Long Island Automobile Club with regard to the challenge which has been sent out by the Crescent Athletic Club to hold an automobile reliability contest over Long Island roads on some data in the coming spring, the affair to be purely amateur, a representative of the Eagle called at the clubrooms of the L. I. A. C.

last night. Few of the members were about, but an official of the club stated that the challenge from the Crescent autoists was likely to be hailed with pleasure. Pending a meeting of the contest committee little more could, however, be said. The challenge will, in all likelihood, be laid befora the committee this week and the finding made known at an early date. It is significant of the many and varied interests in the sport that the Crescent Athletic Club, a non-motoring organiza tion, should take the initiative in this proposed friendly and strictly amateur contest.

Hundreds of the members of the Crescent Athletic Club own and drive their cars. Many of them are lopj distance tourists, but none have been beard of in the field of contest and sport. lo foster the sport and Interest, the Board of Governors of the club has ap pointed a special automobile committee, charged with the various and many duties required to provide facilities and look after the needs of the "motoring members." President Charles J. McDermott, the newly-elected president of the club, has named the following members to serve for the current H. C.

Martin, chairman; A. R. Pardington, George E. Brower, Foster Cromptou and W. T.

Wintrlngham. Of this committee. Mr. Pardington is probably the best known, having served many clubs and kindred organizations active In the sport. To his credit Is the first Vanderbilt Cup race In 1904 and the last one in 1909.

He is second vice president of the Long Island Parkway and its moving spirit. Mr. Wintringham served as secretary of the contest committee of the Long Island Automobile Club when Mr. Pardington was Its chairman. The famous midwinter endurance run to Montauk Point in 1907 was conducted by them.

Messrs. Martin, Brower and Crompton are well-known in social, club and motoring circles as enthusiastic motorists. It Is also significant that three members of this committee are members of the Automobile Club. They are all excellent, experienced road drivers, and there is bound to be rivalry to secure their par- i ticipatlon on both teams. The trophy presented by Mr.

Pardington, which will bear his name, is to become the property of the club scoring the larger number of wins, either two in three or three in Ave. as may be decided upon by the two organizations. (Special to the Eagle.) Boston, March 8 Springtime In all its beauty Is the keynote of the decorations at the eighth annual automobile fihow at Mechanics Building and Exhibition Hall, which opened last Saturday night under the auspices of the Boston Automobile Dealers Association. Shrubs, plants and real flowers are I scattered in great profusion throughout the spacious hall and the soft and deli cate appearance which the blossoms give the show room is Indeed very pleasing. Although the Madison Square Garden show in New York has always been regarded from the decorative point of view as the most magnificently staged automobile show, the local exhibition, with its live hedges between the booths of each manufacturer's space, is regarded by many as the prettLest that has ever been seen in this country.

One with a vivid Imagination on entering the hall can easily feel that he has been transposed from the lingering chill of late winter to the balmy climate of Mny, so real is the garden effect. The balconies and walls are paneled into a continuous landscape extending around the entire main hall, giving the place the appearance of an open country panorama. Even the floor covering is in general harmony the material with which it le covered being of heavy green stuff, which greatly resembles grass. Two hundred and ninety-five Individual exhibits are shown, and almost every prominent manufacturer of automobiles, tires and accessories is represented. Out of the total, only one is from Brooklyn, and id the Fox Metallic aud Belt Company.

The crowds that have poured Into the hall since it opened have been enormous and the figures of attendance surpass by thousands those of any previous year. For. years owners of large yachts have depended upon the smaller motor craft for "getting about," across the harbor, down the river, to the yacht club, short trips here and there that merly involved getting to a certain point and back again in a hurry. These smaller boats have served the purpose of the larger ones to excellent advantage, and at a much less maintenance expense. A tendency to handle the motor car situation in a similar manner is becoming more apparent every day.

lirooku'n. I I I ii CHS TO THIS COUNTRY James Donaldson Will Fill the Place of L. Auchterlonie at Glen View, Chicago. That the professional golfers of Great Britain have not yet ceased to look upon America as a happy hunting ground had further confirmation yesterday by the arrival from the other side of James Don aldson, a Scottish golfer of repute, who for a number of years has figured prominently in that school which has kept Taylor and Braid on the rack to retain their honors. The newcomer stepped ashore yesterday from the steamship Caledonia, In company with Alex Smith, wag promptly snapped ud by the Glen View Club of Chicago to All the position just vacated by Lawrence Auchterlonie, who is returning to his native land after ten consecutive years service with the Illinois organization.

Donaldson has had wide experience in England, Scotland and France, and at the present moment shares with C. H. Mayo the title of champion of Northern France. In this tournament, which was played last summer at Le Touquet, the winners had to head off such players as Tom Ball (who subsequently won the big "News of the World" tournament), George Duncan and Edward Ray. Donaldson is also the holder of in numerable course records, and in exhibition games has beaten Harry Vardon George Duncan.

Armani Massy and the present open champion, T. H. Taylor. Like James Donaldson, Pro. for Glenvlew Golf Club, Chicago.

many of the others, the open championship has yet to find him in the ascendency, but it is worthy of note that he made a gallant attempt to make good when the big event was last held over the Prestwiek links, and on the first day only two players, Alex Herd and J. H. Taylor, were heading him. Like Duncan, Donaldson belongs to Aberdeen, Scotland, where he first learned 6U" ",3 nrst Ptes- slonal engagement was with the Bieldside Club of that city. Later he saw a broader neld for his energies opening up, and he transferred to London with the North Kent Club there, one of the largest and most influential golling organizations in the metropolitan district.

While wiiu this club Donaldson was chosen to play second on the Scottish international team against Ireland. Some of the newcomer's performances stamp him as a player of almost meteoric brilliancy and he usually has succeeded In reducing the record of the several courses with which he has had a connection to a very low figure. One of his best performances in this respect was at Wimeaux, in Franco, where the bogey is 78, The nature of Donaldson's golf on that occasion will be readily understood when it is stated that he covered the course in 61 strokes. Le Touquet is another French course of which the Scot is the record-holder, while at Cruden Bay in Scotland he clipped no fewer than seven shots from the record In one fell swoop, returning a 63, Other records which Donaldson holds are: Bieldside, 63; Balgownle, 31; Turriff, 32 for 9 holes; Turriff, 70 for double round; Aboyne, 71; Belingham, 70, and North Kent, 68. Recently Donaldson played with Vardon in a four-ball challenge match against Massy and Taylor for $100, the latter couple never winning a hole.

As an amateur Donaldson also contributed some noteworthy achievements, beating many of the leading amateur playem of the other side in open tournaments. He played in the amateur championship in 1902 and was only eliminated by Robert Maxwell, the present tltlo holder, at the eighteenth hole. He also won the Cruden Bay tournament, an event which yearly attracts many of the stars, after a sensational final match with H. H. Hilton.

Donaldson was at one point 4 down with 5 to play, but finished with 2, 3, 4 and squared on the Inst green. An extra nine holes again saw tho players equal. Donald on flnall winning at the twenty-ninth hole. With Donaldson comes William Leith, another young Aberdeen golfer, who has seen much experience in the game. Leith has been assistant, to Donaldson In Scotland, England and France and is spoken of as a capable player.

This wilt permit them to obtain all tho prlv-ilges of tho Parkway Club, of which there are many.

There Is every reason tn believe that an af- flrmative answer will be given, inasmuch! as tbe scheme originally developed with I tho New York Driving Association members. When the answer is received, steps v.ill be taken at.

The little outfielder said that he would probably decide some time during the present week just what he would do. It is not unlikely that he will accept the offer from the New York Nationals unless something better turns up. In regard to signing Keeler for the Brooklyn team, President Ebbets declared yesterday that the matter rested entirely in the hands of Manager Dahlen. This year there will be no interference in any way by the owner of the Superbas. Mr.

Ebbets said that there was no doubt that Dahlen knew that Keeler had been released by the New York Americans. (and that it was up to him if he wanted him for the local club. Mr. Ebbets refused tn make any statement whatever as to whether he thought Keeler would strengthen the team. He says that full charge has been given to Dahlen and that he leaves everything to him.

Xo word has been received from Third Baseman Lennox of Camden, who was unable to join the team on acount of illness. President Ebbets has written to him, but has not yet received a reply. The Philadelphia Club did not put in any defense to th" Notional Leasue against the claim nf Bill Mun-av back sohirv. The time limit ex-plf 'd yesterday tucl the matter now rests with the teiard of directors nt the Notional Mairiie. It Is likely that the Quaker club will let the matter be decided by the courts.

Last night, especially, there was a big crowd, and the auspicious opening of the second week of the affair promises well for the exhibition. The shooting and basketball contests seemed to be the most popular attractions and the cage in which the latter games are played was thronged five deep last night.

C. ter team again reiterated his reason why the Blue and White institution should meet his five in the following words, sent I to the Eagle along with the reply to his challenge of an earlier date: "Columbia, according to reports, ha.i played only eight games this season, and these against Pennsylvania, Princeton, iaie and Cornell, which are this year games, losing only games, one to Colgate and one to New York, also winning one from each of those teams.

Only seven games wore played on University of Rochester floor College of the City of New York was defeated by Rochester at New York, thus eliminating that institution's claim. None of these teams has been met by Columbia, which bases its claim on its eight vic tories won on us own noor, and then ap- parentis' hurries to disband its team."

FOR ADDITIONAL SPORTS SEE OTHER PAGES Columbia Answers Rochester; Basketball Title Controversy Columbia I'niversity is not placing itself in a very enviable position os far as the basketball championship is concerned. Rochester University, which is also claiming the Eastern collegiate championship, challenged the Blue and White institution through the Kagle, but instead of answering the up-sUite institu- i.uUl buu Within a few days It will be settled definitely whether the New York Driving Assoi. iai iiui will become affiliated with the Parkway Driving Club for the season of 1 u. if this step is taken, one of the biggest combinations in trotting circles in the East will have been made. As announced exclusively in the Eaglo 01 February 9.

such a combination of the forces of the two large trotting organlza- tions would make one of tho most in-tercKtint- series of matinees ever held la the vkin.ty of New York City. Tiic in eliminary arrangements were cuiihuniinan at a recent meeting of the committee of the Parkway Driving Club and the Xew York Driving Association, the meeting taking place at the Hotel Astor, Tbe local club was represented by the president, W. B. Warden, Ilalph KelHay, the vice president, and James Archbold, tho treasurer. President Clark and Secretary Hynea appeared for the Manhattan association.

After the- representatives of tho Parkway Club bad explained the dotaiia of the plan to the New York Driving Club committee, ihe principcj dlacussion revolved aeijimd tho question of associate membership. If the members of the Now lecung ana encourage sport, me umver- represented by admittedly inferior teams siiy on Mormngsidc ile.ghts sent the fol- Colgate lost teams, lowing letter to the management of the Colgatu Barnes to New York Unl-Hodiestor team: jversity, Rochester, Oswego Normals and in answer to yuur kind favor of February i st- Lawrence. New York University has S. 11.1... 1 b-g to say that have reoeiyod lost games to Colgate.

Rochester and mmiiar emotional outbuists from other teams Weslevan i whose claims appear even more valid than Rochester has played a sched- youiv. It is quite evident that It Is impossible for us to play all the games suggested and us none of the claims tire based upon unsubstantiated personal Pa-ling, the challenges are I ticonsectueti ia 1 In no way effecting tile championship, og that you will readily see- all claims Eastern championship by teams ho een defeated by Kastern teams of Inftri. against an undefeated team, are not orthy of consideration.
