Thtry will meet in the order named to-day. As If anticipating hard-fought contests, the club members turned out in force, so that every point of vantage was occupied throughout the greater part of the day. At th* outset the home crowd received a setback in the defeat of Lawrence Waterbcry aT the hands of Brooke. The former national champion never succeeded in setting into JUs stroke, and. In fact, his game h»d none cf that l-rilllancy which marked his decisive victory the previous day over W. J. Feron. one of the Chlcajro entrants. Or: the other hand, Brooko speedily reached the top of his game, and his fast service enabled him to win the first set In four hands. It was the same story throughout the two succeeding sets.

A run of nine saved Clarke in the liext set. at a time when things seemed to be ■a^oirr decidedly in favor of the Westerner. Thome ran hi* score up to 11 in the third and decisive set, only to have Clarke secure the necessary points. The winner played the same dashing sort of racquets that enabled him to defeat H. I.

From a competitive point of view the match of the day was that between McCormick and George R. Fearing, of Boston, in which the former won after five hard fought pets that -Bill probably. go en record as one cf ihe most sensational ever played at the local club, requiring no tees than plxty-three hands to decide. Fearing, always a re sourceful player, besides possessing the faculty for quickly getting acquainted with all th« angles of » court, evidently, expected to tire out McCor mick. In this, however, the former reckoned with out hi* host, for the winner of the Tuxedo gold racket never faltered throughout the protracted n'ruggie, which lasted ell of two hours. McCwmick won the first s*t. 15— 12. but Fearing turned the tables in the next ay a strong finish, fifteen hands being required. McCormick then won the third pet by the same score as the first. The fourth pet proved the best of the match. Mc- Conalek had an easy chance to win on tha game ball, but missed an easy phot. Ke-arir.? then won the set, the decisive stroke being of the lucky order, the ball rebounding from Fearing racket after on* of the beet rallies of the day. The stroke gave the ball Just sufficient force to strike the wal! a few- Inches above the tell-tale. Tb* £ft& and deciding set was hard fought all the way. but McCormick finally won by 15— largely through his strong service.

Chicago, Feb. IS.-Factional strife in the National League was removed, or at least smoothed over, at th- closing session of the club owners to-day, when an indefinite leave of absence was granted to Free. dent Harry C. Pulllam at his own request, In order that he may recover from the nervous •train to which he ha* been subjected for some time past, in the mean time his post as chief executive of the league will be filled by John A. Heydler. at present secretary and president of the organiza tion. • _ The disagreements, if not strife, between Presi dent Pulllam and certain National League owners provided material for most of the discussion during the closing hours of the meeting, and while Mr. Pulllam livnU up to his announced Intention of re maining away from the meeting because ho was wearie.l of conflict, the league representatives spoke, of him as an efficient executive, and voted unanimously to grant him an Indefinite leave of absence. , in order to leave nothing lacking in the way of good feeling. President Charles Murphy of the Chi cago National League club apologized in open meeting to President Ban B. Johnson of the Ameri can League for certain utterances lately. Presi dent Johnson was present at the session upon in vitation, for the purpose of telling what he knew of the alleged attempt to bribe the umpires. Klem and Johnstone, in the now famous game between the Giants and the Cubs. The entire bribery prob lem proved to be so difficult that it was decided that the statements of the umpires and all evidence be turned over to the national commission to be acted upon as that tody may determine. Garry Hermann may call a meeting of the com mission to-morrow to start the task of getting at tha bottom of the scandal, but after the close of the league meeting he expressed himself as undecided when the question would be called up for considera tion. The Information presented by Ban Johnson was kept a secret for the time being. In handling the problem of tickets the magnates brought woe to the players by adopting a rule that MALOXE'S LOXG RACE.

Cole of the history of the American Power Boat Association, under the auspices of which th« convention was held. There was much disappointment because ther* was not time to dUcuss the racing rules «nd the subject of legislation, as It was upon these two questions only that the delegate* had been in itructed by their clubs to act. One of th« Interesting feature* was an Invite. tion extended to the delegates by MJUer Freeman, of Seattle, to visit or send their boats to the Pa r!(l- Coast In the first w»elt ofjuly for the ra<vea recently arranged by the managers of the Alaska- Tukon Exposition, which opens at Seattle on June I.

Motor Boats Prove a Magnet for Hundreds of Visitors. Governor Hughes is interested in motor boats. He will visit the show in Madison Square Garden to-morrow afternoon, and great preparations are being made by the show committee to escort him around the exhibit and point out the many Im provements that have been made In boat designing and engine construction. Governor Hughes was Invited early In the week by President John J. Amory on behalf of the national association, and a reply was received yesterday from his military secretary stating that the Governor will be in th« city Saturday and will be glad to accept the In vitation. He will be accompanied by several mem bers of hia staff, and the committee to receive him consists of H. R. Sutphen. E. A. Rlotts. James Craig, W. J. Reynolds and J. M. Truscott. Popular interest In the show is increasing every day. Last night closed the first half of the ex hibit, and at a conservative estimate fully forty thousand persons have. Inspected th« boats and engines during the four nights and days that the show has been in progress. The feeling appears to be general that the coming year will b« the biggest and most successful in motor boating ever seen in this country. This Is strongly exemplified by the many Inquiries and numerous orders for launches of the pleasure and long distance crul* ln«r type. Captain Jacob "W. Miller, chairman of th« aquatic sports committee of tha Hudson-Fulton celebration, visited th« Garden yesterday and ex tended an invitation to all of the makers of motor boats and representatives of all the- well known clubs to enter the series of motor boat events to be held on September 27, 28 and » on the Hudson River during the celebration exercises. Among tha events already arranged for are a long distance race from New York to Troy, a series of mixed races off Tonkers and a general regatta for all types In the North River opposite Riverside Drive. Two boats designed In New York will be com petitors In theT>ig lob# distance race on the Pacific Coast this summer. This will be the Seattle to Vancouver race of 200 miles, which will be held on July 4. as one of the big features In connection with the Alaska- Exposition, at Seattle. Whlttelsey & Whlttaker. who recently designed a 45-foot cabin cruiser for a Seattle man. received a second order yesterday for a similar boat, to b« equipped with two ls-horsepower engines. There are several types of high powered engines at th« show, similar to those used In the Allsa- Cralg. twice the winner of the New York to Ber muda motor boat race, and other high powered craft. A large oil painting shows the Allsa-Cralg breasting the waves of the Atlantic during her vic torious run last year. Beside this picture, two large sliver trophies, won In 1907 and 1908, are shown. Mr. Craig is now building a four-cylinder 125 horsepower motor for the gasolene, auxiliary Car negie, which, under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution, of Washington, will undertake this summer to obtain a systematic survey of magnetic conditions in the deep seas. The boat will have no magnetic material in Its construction, and the en gines will contain many novel features. It Is to in built entirely of bronze and will be operated by gas generated In a gas producer plant. The Carnegie was designed by K. J. Glelow. the naval architect, of this city, and Is now being built In Brooklyn and is to be finished early in June. The large demand that has been made for motors has brought prominently Into view the great num ber of boats now under construction for the com ing season. One concern showing a new high speed engine has sold three «lx-<rylind«r 75-horsepower engines for speed launches. One Is to be fitted In a 35-foot racing boat, being built in Boston, while of the others one is groins to Texas and one to San Franc! The demand for medium powered engines is m " | IPO per cent greater than at the corresponding time last year. This is especially true for engines from 5 to 14, hcrsepoww. according to one manufacturer. One of the most inter««tinr features of the show Is the series of practically continuous band con certs all day and evening. Hundreds of spectators. after walking through the aisles on the main floor, adjourn to the galleries to enjoy th« view of the exhibits and the thousands of moving p*de»rrlans below, and also to listen to th« music ASKS FOB $75,000 AND WATTS. Meanwhile Mr. Mete Is Waiting for Mr Bingham to Ask Again. Controller Metz Is waiting for General Binghatn. and General Bingham is waiting for Controller Me.ts. General Bingham some weeks ago sent to the Controller a request for ITS. to be used in furnishing the new Police Headquarters, but he didn't say in detail how the money was to be used or whether that sum would be all he would need for the furnishing. The department is waiting- for General Bingham to send along another letter, tell ing what he la going to do with so much money. And all this time General Bingham Is wondering why the Finance Department does not act on his request for funds. The episode will have a sequel when General Bingham appears before the Board of Estimate and explains what he Is *olng to do with rs.opn. The Board of Estimate and Appor tionment la skeptical these days. SUGAR COMPANY ATTACKS WITNESS Trying to Impeach the Character of Whalley. Testifying for Government. An effort was made by the defence yesterday In the government suit against the American Sugar Refining Company to shake the testimony of Rich it rd Whalley. who said on direct examination that he knew the scales on the sugar company's docks had been tampered with. Whalley gave the signal which led to the raid In November. 1907, the results of which were mainly responsible for the present prosecution. Whalley stuck to his story. Efforts to reflect on his charao ter were abandoned for a time after the govern ment counsel ebjected, but later the domestic troubles of the witness w«Te brought out. On re direct examination Whalley said that the order to deceive the government weighers cam* from the superintendent of the docks. FUNERAL OF YOUNG GEORGE MILLETT.
