RACQUET CHAMPIONSHIP.
Clarke Surprised the Experts by De-
feating Shaw.

G. c. Clarke, jr., of New York yesterday
defeated Q. A. Shaw. jr., of Boston at the
New York Racquet and Tennis Club, In the
semi-fnals of the national amateur racquet
championships. Odds of 10 to l were freely
offered before the set that Shaw, who was
champion in 1903. would win.
The surprise came as climax to the
number of unexpected defeats recorded
throughout the preliminary rounds. First
the present champion was beaten by Bar
ger. then Payne Whitney by Scott, and
finally Shaw by Clarke. Every one of the
losers would have been considered aces bet
ter than their respective opponents in a
handicap tournament.
In the other semi-final the hard low-cut
services of L. Waterbury of New York won
for him three out of five games from II.
Scott of Boston.
Clarke will meet Waterbury In the final
set today. II Clarke displays the ability that
he showed yesterday he will. in all proba-
bility, win the championship.

$4,000 Per Year for Morris Park.

The solution of the date question was
generally regarded last night as the very
best way out of a tangle. Morris Park,
leased for $4,000 year. the expenses
borne pro rata by all the other tracks, is
cheap way out of dilemma is the man
ner in which it was put last night. 1t
means that from Morris Park, at least,
there will be no trouble.
In explanation of the action of the West
chester Racing Association. Dave Hennen
Morris said last night that. while he had
as yet received no official Information on
the matter, he assumed that the New
York Jockey Clubs lease of Morris Park
had been assigned to the Westchester
Racing Associa ton. That lease is for ten
years, at $4,000 a year, the taxes on the
property 10 be paid by the lessee. Mr..
Morris said that he was much disappointed
to learn that there would be no racing this
season at Morris lark, but hoped that this
would not be the state of affairs in subse-
Quent years.

Chess Masters Tied.

D. JanowsN won his game from Frank j.
Marshall of Brooklyn at Paris yesterday.
and the men now stand even in their chess
contest with four victories each and two
games drawn. Janowski opened by playing
P-K4. A regular Four knights game en-
sued, in which Marshall assumed the at
tack at the cost of a pawn. When an adj
journment was taken at G:30 O'Clock the
Brooklyn man was still a pawn down. but
it was thought he was amply compensated
by an attack which promised good results.
Janowski, however, handled the difficult de-
fence in fine style, and after the attack
had been repulsed won the game in skill
fully conducted ending after eighty-five
moves. The eleventh game is scheduled
for Saturday.

childless American Peeresses.
From the King.


With the marriage of the Earl of Suf-
folk to Miss Daisy Letter, the Americans
married to peers number twenty-five. AS
usual there. is a great deal of rather fool
ish talk about Americanising the peerage,
new blood. and other fancies of a similar
kind. AS a matter of fact this number
includes all the Americans. with one ex-
ception. married to peers since 1860. a Pc
riod o: forty-four years. Nor Is this all.
Ten of these ladies have no children at all.
and six have no sons, so that the peerage
is not likely to be Americanized yet awhile.
