GREAT WHIST VICTORY
BY Thirty Points Baltimore Defeated
the PhimdelphianS.

tHe EHlmueibIlidH>-
Baltimore defeated Philadelphia yester-
day afternoon at whist by ii margin Of fif-
teen tricks. OF thirty points.
This signal victory also cements Balti-
more's claim to the championship "f tht
East. which was Won Saturday by defeat
ing the Capital Cycle Club of this city,
which had defeated the famous Hamilton
Four of Philadelphia. The latter had then
been the acknowledged champions of this
section of the country.
The competing teams yesterday were the
pick OF the membership of the Baltimore
Whist Club pitted against the best the en-
tire city Of Philadelphia found available.
There were four ladies and four gentlemen
on each side. The teams were:
Philadelphia-Mr Milton c. Work. Mrs.
H. Toulmin. Mrs. T. H Andrews. Mrs. H.
Y. Keen. Messrs. Milton C. Work, Gustav
Remark. Robert Pearsall. and Louis Melick.
Baltimore-Mrs. o. n. Butler. Miss Achsah
Preston. Miss Frances Fallam. and Miss
Goldsboro. Messrs. Beverly W. Smith, A.
Harvey McCay, WE. Duval and Beauregard
Howard.
Mcssrs. Work and Remark are OF the
famous Hamilton four. and Messrs. Melick
There were twenty-four trays played.
Each gentleman on each team played six
with each lady, making a total of twenty
four hands.
All through the contest Baltimore kept
steadily in the lead. At the sixth deal
Baltimore was nine tricks to the good;
at the end of the twelfth, six; at the end
of the eighteenth. twelve, and at the end
OF the twenty-fourth, or the final, fifteen.
The game started at 4 and lasted until
$50. Before it began several of the Baiti-
more players thought that the tide OF battle
would set against them, as the players
with which they were to match skill were
at the head OF the whist class in this sec
tion of the country, while their ladies' were
hardly less celebrated. The local men felt
that they would have a desperate time hold
ing up their own end but they had previously
defeated the Hamiltons, even though it
was once out of six, and they had done
some travelling, and felt quite hardened to
any excitement that might come OF the
fast work. They thought that their ladies
might go down before those of Philadel-
phia. because OF their lesser experience.
The result of the game proved quite the
contrary. The Baltimore ladies never fall
tered, but went througiIa all the trying places
with admirable nerve. and it was due to
their cool skill and selrcontrol that the game
was wons

ENGLISHMEN WILL BACK HIM.
Peter Jackson VIII Challenge James
| Corbett for $4,000 Il Side.


New York, Jan. 29.-Pcter Jackson
has thrown down the gauntlet to Jim
Corbett and wants the latter to meet
him. Despite Peters condition, phys
ically. he is confident that he can defeat the
champion and wants Il chance. A dispatch
from London says that Jackson was spec
tator at the National Sporting Club Mon
day night, and declared his intention OF
boxing Corbett again for a purseof $40 900,
which had been Offered by the National
Sporting Club.
1t is not likely that Corhctt will ac-
cept, as he has in the past fatty re-
fused to go to England and face the
dusky pugilist. Those who are acquaint-
ed with the methods of the Nat ional
Club know very well that the club is
an impartial one, and that Corbett will
certainly receive fair play. Jackson has
many friends in England, who are conf
dent that Peter can whip Corbctt, despite
the reports of his condition, and are will
ing TO back him for $1,000 to $4,000 a
side.
