From 8 «’clock Saturday night until early Sunday merning eighty of the strongest whist players in the country were battling for the supremacy of whist between the New Jersey Auxilary and the Atlantic Auxilary at Jersey City. The last card was played at 1 o’clock in a game between Capt. Otis and Aymar of New Jersey an Capt. Whelan and Duvall of Baltimore, who were pitted against each other for thirty boards. Fifty players crowded around this table with bated breath, and when the announcement was made that the Atlantic had wen by nine tricks, Capt. Otis moved three cheers and a tiger for the Atlaatics, which were given with a will, and as covdially given to the New Jerseys for their gallant fight. It was afterward discovered that a mis- take had been made in counting, which changed the result. Instead of plus 9, Bosler and Thomas are even with Eagles and Reynolds, the match resulting in a tie. This should be the decision of Referee Weems, and it is the essence of sports- manship to correct any errors at any time and not to allow a club to rest under the onus of defeat when it has mace such a gallant fight as New Jersey did. The failure of the Washington pair to put in an appearance at the last minutes caused the substitution of a pair who had quite a minus score, and although it was commendable in them to play, still Wash- ington was derelict in duty. The handsome club house at Jersey City was full of whisters interested in the game. Foster, Elwell, Taylor and Safford of Washington, whose partner could not come, were among the spectators watching where the play was closest. President Neft and partner carried off the honors ‘in sec- tion A, closely followed by Milton C. Work ard partner and the two Andrew brothers of the Philadelphia Junior Club. Wooten and Walls carried cf the honors for Washington in section 3, gaining a plus of nine tricks, which was the num- ber of tricks that the Atlantic won by and the highest plus score mace by the Atlan- tic_players. The best players ‘were pitted against each cther during the evening. Thomas and Bosler were against the pair that helped take the A. W. L. trophy away from Baltimore two weeks ago, and dem- } Cea it was not their fault it was lost 6—Toppen-Forester, N. J. Whist.. 201 Andrews Andrews, Janior. . Whist sWyekoe Bowes, Ree 3S ule-Pile.

Captain Otis was called on to give up the A. W. L. trophy Friday night to the Park Club of Plainfield (by four tricks), who will have to meet the Americans of Boston next Saturday, and the chances are in favor of the Bostonians having the trophy on their own ground to defend in the next contest. It is true the New Jer- seys have played three trying matches in one week, and were no doubt handicapped by the mental fatigue incident upon such play. They made a gallant fight, and the score _shows where the battle raged flerc- est. Some of the enthusiastic players who had traveled several hundred miles vowed they came on to win, and would not listen to any talk of defeat. Several of Washin; ton’s star players were missed, and the trophy is nearer home and will have to be defended, the C. Bi. C. 1s especially asked to send six or eight players to Philadeiphia when the New Englanders make their raid on Philadelphia, which will be about the 4th of December, and as they have so much territory from which to select players they will send a strong delegation. The former prestige of the C. Bi. C. 1s safe in the hands of the present players and can demonstrate at any time that they are as strong as any players in the country. C. Bi. C. Handicap Tournament. Saturday the third night of the handicap tournament found the whist contingent of the C. Bi.

For the first time in some y the colors of the Columbia Athletic Club foot ball team were lowered Saturday afternoon to a lccal team, in the shape of the eleven rep- resenting the Columban University, who won by 6 to 4. The gume took place at National Perk, and was witnessed by over a thousand spectators. The game consisted of two halves of twenty minutes each, and all the scoring done in the game was worked in the first haif. The first touchdown was made by Columbian in about seven minutes of play, from. which Lewis kicked a beautiful goal. ‘The C. A. C. then took nd at the rush- ing business, and ried the ball to within a fe yards of the 'varsity’s line. Then, je the referee was having a slight mis- understanding with Cummings for slug- ging, Maupin dodged through the Hae and landed the ball safeiy Bright missed the goal, 6 to 4, in Colunbian's favor. In the second half Reeve Lewis was put in as right half back; Dickinson, who had Leen playing that position, was sent to the line, and McConville retired from the game, but that did not keep the ‘varsity from making gain after gain through the c, A. C.’s center and around the left end. Finally, with the ball on Columbia's five yard line, Weaver was sent around the end successfully, but he stepped across the foul line and the ball was brought back, when the ‘varsity lost it on downs. ‘Then commenced some terrific defensive play by the Columbia boys, and hed the hal? been twenty-five instead of twenty minutes in length, the club colors might have come out flying, instead of trailing in the dust. Just as they had worked the ball up to the certer of the field the whistle blew and the memorable game was over. Granvilie Lewis, captain of the Colum- Man team, put up the finest game of foot- balk that has been seen in this city sinc the last Georgetown-Columbia game, nen Mahoney did such gniticent work. Lewis’ kicking was a feature, his bucking the line was a tremendous success at ai most every trial, while his tackling was one of the finest exhibitions of that phase of foot bail that has been seen in Wash- ington. Without him the ‘varsity would have lost. The offensive work of the teams was without a flaw, but the defensive work was certainly ragged on both sides. The inter- ference was good, but there was hardly a time that a try for a hole in either line did not result in a gain. Kelly of the Columbians sprained his ankle in the first half, but, despite the pain, pluckily stayed in the game. The star play~of the game occurred at the kick-off in the second half. The ball was kicked to Lewis on the twenty-yard the line. _He started with it and dodging Geteeecceccescsesesoseses through the entire C. A. C. line down to Dyer the last man was downed on Colum- bia’s thirty-yard line. Had he given Dyer the slip it would have meant another touchdown for Columbian. The athletic boys played hard foot ball especially toward the end of the second half, but seemed woefully out of practice. The line also proved to be week, and, al- though it was undoubtedly lighter than Columbian’s, the showing made should have been a better one. Parson, Reeve Lewis and Dyer played a good game, as did Kelly, Weaver, Louchs and Tindall for the ‘varsity. West Point gave Yale an unpleasant sur- prise Saturday by playing the blue to a standstill, with the score 6 to 6. In fact, the Yale eleven narrowly escaped defeat, Corwin making a run of six: in the last five minutes of play for a touch- down. Yale's defense was fearfully weak. Her offense was fairly good, and even her stanchest supporters agree that the blue was extremely lucky to secure a tie. As was expected, Princeton had an easy time with Dartmouth, the Tigers rolling up @ score of 30 to 0. The feature of the game was Hillebrand’s run of nearly ninety yards for a touchdown. In this connection @ queer accident happened. Dartmouth had the ball and was rushing it up the field with the speed and ferocity that boded no f00d for Prirtceton, when Quarterback Wentworth became dissatisfied with five- yard gains and signaled for a trick. It was the Dartmouth triple pass, in which Crolius first takes the ball. Crolius had forgotten the signal and he dove into the Tiger iine | to block off for a following runner. Went- worth stood with the leather in his hands on th2 outer edge of a struggling pile of Players, and in the excitement of the mo- ment passed to Hillebrand, Princeton, who straightway sprinted down the field, while twenty-one men pursued or blocked off for him. It is not likely that such a play will happen again this year. The Tigers did not have out their regular team, so that the game does not cast much light on the strength of the team that will meet Yale. Pennsylvania ran up forty points on Brown Saturday without much effort. Pennsylvania put up a splendid game in every particular. Harvard showed unusual strength against Cornell, and defeated the Ithacans, 24 to >. Cornelb took advantage of a fumble and made a field goal.

The name of the home club appears first, and two games will be played each evening. MAY LOSE THREE STARS. Robinson, McGraw and Doyle Will Leave the Birds. A special from Baltimore to the Pittsburg News says that the base ball cranks of Baltimore may as well prepare themselves to hear that two of the most tried and trusty of the Orioles, in faci, two pillars of the team, will be missing from the ranks next season. It looks now as if Robinson and McGraw would not play ball another year. They are dickering for another saloon.

It open secret that Jack did not hitch w. with the balance of the team the past year. The feeling between Doyle and the “big four” has never been of the best, and last summer there were several open ruptures Letween the scrappy first baseman and members of the big combin; McGraw has put himself on record and says he will not play on the same team with Doyle again. Manager Hanlon should be able to make an advantageous deal for such a good man as Doyie, and the chances are that he has already something in his mind's eye. In- deed, it would not be surprising to find Jack in Brooklyn next year. As things are now looking the Baltimore manager will need all his skill and good fortune to round up the team for "0s.

Temple of Pittsburg, who gave to the National League players the base ball trophy which bears his name, holds the opinion that Manager Hanlon is wasting his time in urging upon the league any plan for reviving interest in the cup series. “The players have killed the googe that laid the golden egg and will never agal derive any profit from the cup games, one providing for a distribution of the gate receipts on the basis of 0 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser, was violated in the first series ever played for the cup. At that time I asked the league to punish the offending New York and Baltimore players by prohibiting them from ever taking part in future cup games. The agreement of the players to make an equal division of the spoils was not dis- honest in itself, but was a violation of a rule framed for the purpose of insuring fast and earnest playing in the post-sea- son series. The league did not act, and now it will cost the magnates a pretty rt.

And after supplying the cash the club owners need not expect to get it back in any other way than by increased at- tendance during the championship season. “Had Manager Hanlon’s plan to give the league entire control of the cup games beer adopted in the first series, as I stipulated, all the trouble would have been averted.
