AMONG THE WHISTERS.
Large and Interesting Compass Games
at the Marlborough Club.

at the Marlborough Club.
The regular weekly round of compass
whist. at the par1ors OF the Marlborough
Whist Club last night. proved unusually in
teresting on account Of the closeness OF
the scores. Eleven tables were In play, Mr.
and Mrs. Tune and Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln
Smith were tied for top score honors of
the east and west division, with 172 tricks.
The north and south contingent also had
two pairs as leaders, Mrs. Dyer and DR..
Brown and Miss Schmidt and Mr..
Brooks. having placed 149 tricks to their
credit Many peculiar hands were de-
veloped during the evening and the ones
who fnessed deeply were the greatest trick
gamers.
The Exclusive ladies' games, Saturday
afternoon, were as interesting. as usual,
and high order OF whist was developed.
Mrs. Burleigh and Mrs. Allen secured top
scores for the east and west division, lab.
while Mrs Townsend and Mrs. Saxton led
the north and south couples. with 1856 tricks.
Recent advices from New York are to the
effect that Mrs. Oscar Woodward ex-presi-
dent of the Marlborough Club, has again
taken up whist since her removal to that
city, and is playing in her old-time form.
One night last week Mrs. Woodward and
DIR. Walls entered the pair match at the
that eighteen tables were in play. they Sc
cured the top score by wide margin, their
figures showing plus OF Is.
The Baltimore Whist Club has evidently
regained its old-time form and Is going
down the line In splendid shape in the play
for the American Whist League trophy.
After defeating the New York team, two
weeks ago. the Baltimoreans faced the
strong Scranton. Pa. team last Saturday
night and won out after careful play by
four tricks
The teams were as follows:

Four-club Circuit Not Wanted.

That there is some big scheme on there is
not the slightest doubt. The time for OPEN
ing the season Ia drawing near. Freedman
and Brush do not want any four-club cir
cults. and neither do the Spaidingites. for
that matter. though they have made the
threat Johnson and the American League
realize the severe blow the game would be
dealt should the split in the National
continue, and johnson, at least would be in
favor OF taking in New York and Cincin-
natl rather than have the National League
go through the season In halves.
Evening star., 1902-02-20

Cincinnati Is strictly an American League
city. 1t has been for a year or more Brush
Is not popular here. but under Johnson he
would be forced to keep good team In the
field. On the face of it such a move may
appear to be throwdown for the two
other clubs Boston and st. Louis-which
have stood by Freedman. but there may be
an agreement to consolidate these clubs
with those of the American League in
those cities
The Boston triumvirate would be willing
to sell out to the American League, and
there Is no doubt that Frank De Haas Rob-
ison would welcome anything which would
give him a chance to get chunk of cash.
Robison's silence for the past few weeks
has been most significant.
It will be noticed that Johnson says that
the question of whether New York will be
accepted by the American League will be
decided at its Detroit meeting on March g
Even II the deal did not go through the
fact that such q move was contemplated
would have the effect OF causing the Spald-
ing faction few sleepless nights. and they
may be willing to accept a compromise or
urge Spalding to retire. II this came to
