PLAYING FOR NATIONAL
RACQUET CHAMPIONSHIP

NEW YORK. March 2I.-Only one match
was played in the preliminary round of the
national doubles racquet championship on
the courts of the New York Racquet and
Tennis Club yesterday afternoon. Percy
Haughton and Quincy A. Shaw, jr., of Bos-
ton, beat Erskne Hewitt and w. Stackpole
of New York in straight games. There
were two defaults In this round, Clarence
H. Mackay and George C. Clark, jr, New
York, winning from J. p Griggard and
partner of Philadelphia, while Truxton
Hare and Willing Spencer, Philadelphia
won from NJ. $. Patton and partner of New
York.
Thus far no New York pair has won the
history than the singles championship. Bos-
! ton has won twice, with d. H Scott and
George r. Fearing, while Fearing and
Shaw, team, won in 1904. G.. H.
Brooke and r. X. Cassatt won the honors
for Philadelphia in 1903. Scott and Fearing
won last year at Boston. They make their
first appearance in the present tournament
this afternoon, playing against Barclay
Warburton and Mr.. Bates of Philadelphia.
Shaw and Haughton played fast racquets
yesterday. Shaw plays left-handed, and
for that reason Is able to take from the
left or backhand wall as easily as right
hand players do from the fronthand wall.
This frequently helped his side In yester-
days match. Haughton, who won the SIN
giles championship at Boston few weeks
ago. was also in good form.

DEUEL. FILES HIS ANSWER.

Justice Joseph NJ. Deuel. fled his answer

remove him from his position as a justice
OF the court of special sessions. This ap-
plication followed closely upon the Hap
good libel trial. and was made Jointly by
the attorneys on both sides IN that case
including District Attorney Jerome.
Justice Deuel.. who was a stakeholder in
Town Topics, brought the action for libel
against Norman Hapgood, editor OF Col
Tiers Weekly. His answer today was made
In the form of a demurrer, which states
three reasons why Justice Deuel. should not
be required 90 answer the specifications II
declares that the petitioners have made no
charge that Justice Deuel. has not devoted
his whole time and capacity TO the duties of
his office, so far as the public interests
demanded or that his discharge of official
duties has not been thorough and well per-
fornedi or that there has been any mall
feasance, neglect or Indifference on his
part The court is next declared to be
without Jurisdiction In the case because so
much OF the charter of Greater New York
as provides that justice OF the court or
special sessions shall not carry on any

and void.

COLLINS ON BOSTON'S
REMNANT CHANCES

Talking over pennant-winning teams and
says:
You never can tell. We have won the
pennant twice running, when many people
thought we could not, and perhaps we will
do it again this year. There is no use in
making predictions in base ball. Sometimes
things will not go your way. no matter
what you do Some of the critics have put
us down and out because we landed where
we did last season. They say We have too
many old ones. Well. to my way of think
ing, too many Old ones are deal better
than too many new ones My old chaps
are deal better than they were last sea-
son. and I look to them to hold their end
up and do great deal better than they
did last season.
while 1 do not care to forever harp on
the handicap our clubs labor under owing
to the foul strike rule, 1 am firmly of the
belief that this rule handiCaps us more
than any club in the country. owing TO the
fact that we have the best batsmen. The
reason the National League is welded to
the rule is because they have not the hit

batsmen you would find they would kick
against the rule as strongly as | do, and
you cannot put this too strong to suit me.

Slosson has not made any phenomenal

Neither player is snowy. Hoppe always
gives graceful exhibition, though. and his

Slosson is always deliberate. He tries to
make the game hard for himself and equally
hard for opponent.

has been a great deal of betting on the re-
