the mantelpiece and stared long and
hungrily at photograph in a silver

trate upon It that he induced a sort
Of auto-hypnosis. so that Phil Abing-

library door. AS the man came along

New York, Feb. 2.--It was doubt ful early today whether Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, national woman tennis champion, would be well enough to play her semi-fnal match this afternoon with Miss Lillian Schar- man of Brooklyn, in the second of the emi-fnal matches for the single championship of the Heights Casino which Mrs. Mallory is defending.
 Mrs. Mallory who sails week from tomorrow for France where she is entered in several of the Riviera tournaments, is suffering with se- we're cold which almost forced her to default in the round before the semi final on Wednesday.

KASKEY AGAIN WINS
 AT SARANAC LAKE
Chicago Skater First in 44O Yard
 and Three Mile Event

Saranac Lake, N. Y, Feb. D. Harry Kaskey of Chicago yesterday finished victor in the Saranac Lake tournament of the Adirondack Gold Cup Skating circuit, with a total point score of 150. Charles German of S. John, N. B., who for time threatened Kaskey's victory, took sec ond honors, with total of so points. Richard Donovan of Johnson city took third place with 40 points. Will liam Steinmetz of Chicago and Paul Forsman of New York shared fourth honors with 20 points apiece. A four-cornered tie marks fifth position, F.. Reed of Chicago, F. Gloster of Toronto, Robbie Hearn of Brooklyn and Pat Cochrane of Johnson City each having 10 points. Frank Gar nett of St. John, N. B., and William Murphy of New York bring up the rear of the point scorers, with five each.
 Every quality that goes into the making of star, kaskey displayed in the events yesterday. When he won the 440-yard dash, forcing Cor man into second position, with Hearn third. he proved that he had speed to spare. The absence of Charles Jewtraw of Lake Placid, who was kept off the ice by injuries he received Wednesday, and the poor showing of the so-called favorites. played no part in kaskey's victory, for the watches caught the Chicago flyer at 38 2-5 seconds and this is new record for the local track.
 Kaskey's victory in the three mile event proved his endurance, pluck and rink craft. Twenty-three men faced the starter. When the third mile began only 10 remained. A hot pace set by Garnett, Perleberg and R. Reed of Chicago. all of whom led the pack for various distances, had killed off the rest, including German.

BENTLEY DECLINES
 ID SIGN CONTRACT
Former Orlole Star Wants a Part
 of Purchase Money

New York, Feh. e.-snaring The elusive athlete in the toils of a 1893 contract Was the main business at ieeal baseball affiees yesterday, The Yankees sent out cracking pareh. lnents to twenty-eight players and ans hatlneed that they have six others got four signed and sealed contracts in the morning mail. including that Of Jimmy o'cenneli. their sTh,11o beauty from San Francisco. who is all 'rarin'" to go after that eenterheld berth.
 However. everything was not lovely and serene at the National league club headquarters, 1t appears that Jack Bentley. who is mere s6s.000 beauty. intends to demand part Of his purchase price from the Baltimore club before he affixes his John Han cock to the handsome contract that John MeGraw has sent him.
 Bentley Likes the Giants.
 Don't think that I am dissatisfied with the terms Of your contract" the southpaw wrote Seeretatry Jim Tier. ney yesterday. Not bit Of ii. In fact. I am delighted and gratified at the generosity of the New York club. have not mailed the contract yet. but 1t is entirely satisfactory. How ever. am going 10 try to persuade Jack Dunn to give me part of tho S65.0n0 that was paid for me-"
 And there's the rub for the Giants. Bentley may he delighted and grati- lied with his Giant contract. but it is not likely that he will sign fl unless he has had his way with Jack Dunn. Signing the contract would render him powerless 10 press his demand; refusing 10 sign might mean that the Giants would endeavor 10 persuade Mir. Dunn that Bentley ought to have Il cut of the financial melon.

Dundee to Defend His
 13O Pound Title Tonight

New York, Feb 2.-Johnny Dundee, best 130-pound man in all the wide, wide world, will defend the cham pionship of that division. to say noth- ing of the diamond studded belt, against Elino Flores in Madison Square Garden tonight. The pair are down for fifteen round bout and though the rivers of the world may not break out into flame over that particular title, the bout should see Dundee forced to the limit. Flores is a fast, powerful fighter at that weight and save for one start in this country, he has made splendid impression. Of course he is fighting the American classic in Dundee. The chances are that Dundee could have made the fastest little men that ever lived trav- e home. That includes Griffo. Drs- coll, Attell and many others.
