CURRENT SPORTING NOTES NEW YORK, February 12.—The great international team chess match on ten boards between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and the United States of America began this morning. The British Players were seated in the Prince's room, Hotel Cecil, on the Thames embankment, London, while the American team were on the stage of the Brooklyn Academy of Music. As early as 9 o'clock people were busy on the stage completing the arrange- ments, and half an hour later the specta- tors began filling the house. There was a great deal of excitement, owing to the un- certainty about the American team. Until half-past 9 o'clock it was not defin- itely known who would be the tenth man. Shortly before 10 o'clock, however, the names were put up, and it was seen that the team would be made up as follows: Pillsbury, Showalter, Burrille, Barry, Hymes, Hodges, Delmar, Helms, Teed and McCutcheon. These men were assigned to the ten tables in order just named. In a few minutes the names of the Brit- ish team were posted, as follows: Black- burne, Locock, Atkins, Lawrence, Mills, peu iognara Blake, Jackson, Cole and Ja- cobs. Shortly after 10 o'clock the British um- Pire, Prof. J. C. Rice, called play, and those Americans who were playing the whites made their moves. While the Eng- lishmen were just filing theirs, after the opening moves had been made, the follow- ing bulletin: was posted: ‘Tables. Players.

An Interesting Race Between Skaters of the District. The 1ace tonight at the Convention Hall Skating Rink will be extremely interesting. It will be a handicap event, open to all cemers from the District and Maryland, for two miles, with Champion Harry Stites as the scratch man. It will be started at 9 o'clock. Those who have signified their intention of enterjng igre Frear, Williams, Le Mat, Hewes, Hawéds, Morris and Lewis. The handicaps will not be given out“until Just before the race; but it 1s belleved’ that the men will be giyen:the following handi- caps: One and one-half laps, Hewes, Frear and Hawes; one lap, Le Mat, Williams and Morris; one-half ‘Jap: Morris. This will give Stites plenty of hard work and should insure an exciting race, as the men, out- side of their relative positions to Stites, eal also be placed on about an equal foot- Ing. It ls th- intention of the champion to take a trip to Baltimore soon to meet the speedy skaters of the-monumental city, but it-1s believed that he will be able to establish superiority in that clty’as easily as he has pas | Sie A FIVESOR EW" RACE. Reports That Yale Will Not Favor the Undertaking. Reports from New Haven indicate that the Yale students will object to admitting the Columbia and University of Pennsylva- nia crews to the race, practically agreed upen, with Cornell and Harvard at Pough- keepsie in June. Harvard will gladly enter @ race with the five colleges. In fact, this is exactly what she wants, aside from a race with Yale alone, which she cannot have. She would therefore agree in a mo- ment to permit both to enter and make the proposition to Yale. There is no doubt that Cornell would prefer a five-crew race to rowing two races. Columbia and Penn- sylvania would rather row in a race in- cluding Yale and Harvard to one in which they did not take part Regarding the situation, Mr. Reath, chairman of Pennsylvania's rowing committee, said yesterday: “We do not yet know whether Cornell has yet taken Thomas Poole & Co.

Mr. Procter, president of the civil service commission, is authority for the statement that there will be no further extensions of the civil service system during the re- mainder of the present administration, and of bringing the host of fourth-class post offices into that system. The classification of this army of over 6,000 postmasters is, missioners, only a question of the near future.

' Yale. action on the matter. Her agreement with Harvard does not necessitate her rowing Pennsylvania alumni, with whom I have talked over the matter, agree with me in saying that it would be a great pity if at this time when the opportunity offers, all the big crews would not row at Pough- keepsie. Corneli has the chance to strike a telling blow at Yale's self-erected wall of exclusiveness. The question 1s, will she do it? I can say nothing at present, as the only course {s to await developments.” There has been some talk to the effect that Ccrnell should demand the admission of Columbia and Pennsylvania. This idea is nonsensical. What right has Cornell to stipulate anything with regard to Har- vard’s rowing either of these two colleges? Harvard's engagement is with Corneff alcre. Harvard has only the friendliest feelings toward the two and would like to meet tkem both, but she cannot fairly stipulate to Yale that Yale shall row them also. Cornell cannot insist that Pennsyl- vania and Columbia shall be admitted. The oniy thing that she can do is to ask that these two be allowed to compete. This she may do, but any demand would be sum- marily refused. In speaking of the situation as far as Coiumbia ts concerned, Manager Fearing of Columbia said that he did not anticipate any trouble about a race. “Although we have no written contract with Cornell for @ race this year,” he sald, “the latter are fully expecting ‘us to meet them on the water as In previous years, and such is the tone of the correspondence which has taken Place up to date. “While the inclusion of Yale will, of course, call for special arrangements as to the details connected with the race, I do not think there is likely to be any hitch about Columbia and the University of Penn- sylvania participating, and a five-cornerea race will be the result. “Should any attempt be made to exclude us, we shall not ingist on what is certainly now our right, to measure blades against Harvard and Yale, but ‘the consecuence will mean a second race for Cornell with Columbia and possibly the University of Pennsylvanta as her opponents. “Our relations with’ Cornell are cordial and friendly, and I know the Ithacans would be the last to wish to see us left out in the cold. Our vietory at Poughkeepsie in *9 caused them to hold a high opinion of Columbia's rowing™abifities, and this was not obliterated by |iour<comparatively poor showing last y. We shall undoubtedly be able to hold our.own with the best col- lege crew in Amertca this summer.” ae ae ees nN GRAND 1CXRCUIT. New Towns Are Meesville, Mass. and Glens Falls, N. Y.
