KiXCI HAWKS DEFEATS ALABASTUR. Benlti or Turf Events, BisrtnU Games ind Gtaenl Sporting !7cwl Jhe first football match of tbe season in this city was played yesterday at Exposi tion Park. The weather was exceedingly unfavorable for the contest, but the latter aflbrurd sufficient prool of the fact that football, under tavorable conditions, will be a popnJ ir game here. The crowd was not large owinc to the threatening weather, and tile crounds were soft and muddy. Contrary to expectation thu Shadyside team did not app v,r and the team of the Western University toot its place. To say the least of It the University young men had not a ghost of a chan"i against the very lively eleven representm the Allegheny Athletic Club. The contest was ridiculously one-sided, which fact was to be rcrretted, chiefly because patrons of the game wanted to sco the Athletic team tested. As a result there was nothing like a test, but tur Athletic Club showed that they can play football, an.t there is every reason t expe" that Pittsburg will have a (rood team bclor- the season closes. Yester day's contest was, of course, played under Hngby rules. The contest started about 4 o'clock. Mr. A. Slacnherson being umpire. In the first half the Athletic club team piled up no less than 0 points. Mr. O. D. Thompson scored the first four bv a bold and lively touchdown. He got the ball and ran clean through the line of the University men He was intercepted by two of them, but they were no match for the pow erful athletic lawyer. Robinson tollowed with a goal kick and the lively Mr. Thompson score 1 another touchdown. Wilkmso i and Robinso., each followed with a touchdown and Fry mad i a coal kick. The total aggregated 20 and the Dniversit) eleven never looked scorn.g, in fact they did not get past the safe line. The second half was just about as onesid -l as the first. The Athletic club scored IS oin and.tbo University representatives none. The match, therefore, concluded with the modest score or US to 0 in favor of the Allegheny Ath letic club. It is likely that a match of greater importance will take place shortly, and if the weather is fine the contest will be well worth seeing. Yesterday's contest, it is only fair to say. was chiefly to test tne players, and the University team were in no condition to play. Negotiations are going on for a match between the Athletic club and the Chicago team, and the contest may take place in this city. Preceding yesterday's match there were several amateur athletic contests, but only of a moderate qualitv. The principal winners were a S. Miller. V. G. McLaughlin. M. H.Friesell. G. McGrew, V. D. and George Banker, H. C, Pry and H. Taylor. A GHEAT GAME. The Polys and the Adelphls Have a lively Contest Before 4,000 People. If FECIAL TU.EOBJLU TO THE OISrATCK.2 JTew Yoke, October II. "A great came." This was the general verdict of the 4,000 spec tators who witnessed the contest for Scholastic football honors at Washington Park between the Polytechnic and Adelphia teams. And it was a great game. Coon was up to his usual form and Pratt sustained his titleof "Beccher" Pratt. Captain James, early in the game, dis located bis wri6t, but continued playing. For "Poly" George Wingate, Cowperthwait and Hutchinson did excellent work. Several men w ere hurt, but all kept their places. In the first half, and within ten minutes. Coon, by a long -run. secured a touch-down, and Brooks kicked goal. Score: AOclphi. C; "Poly." 0. The second half opened with the ball in Adelphls' possesion, but "Poly" soon got it. They kept dangerously near Adelphi's goal, but Adelphi's line held hard, and the ball went to Adelphi. By good running on Coon's part and regular bull kicks by Brooks, Adelphi got the ball near their on goal, and an attempt at goal was made, but resulted in a failure. When Adelnbi had once more obtained the ball. Coon made the second touch-down of the game, and just as time was called the attempt at goal failed. Score: Adelphi, 10; Poly, a The Preps "Won. srreiAi. telecjkam to the nmpATcn.: Pkixcetox. N. J.,Octoberll. Hector Cofan Is again plaj mg football. He played for the first time to-day, not on the Princeton 'varsity team but on the Princeton Preparatory School team, which he coaches ana which has Prof. Finn as center rush. The Professor is very fat and his wind gave out several times which necessitated a delav. The opposing team was a strong second scrub of the college. Cowan bad as his antagonist "Dodo" Granger, the '90 tug-of-war giant, but "Dodo" was only as a feather against the mighty Hector, who was a line himself. Several times he carried half the opposing team on bis back. As a result the "preps" were victorious by a score of 20 to 4, the only touch down being made by Boerder wo!f,'92, for the college. The Sophomores went to Lawrenceville to-day where they were defeated by a score of 6 to 0. No Match for "Williams College. rprrrXAL tklepbah to tub dispatch.! Albany.

Those six points on the Amherst aide rankled in the hearts of the wearers of the crimson, for they were scored by tbe visitors on a fluke within a minute of the opening of the game. But after that Harv ard played a fairly good gime. The Oritanis, of Hackensick, are considerably elated over their victory oyer tbe verv strong Prospects, of Brooklyn, to-day.

The rapidity with which hunting is coming into popular favor iu and aboutPittsburg is re markable. Not long ago tbe number of citi zens who took thoirgunsand powder to indulge in the sport of fall and winter was very small. Now hundreds hie themselves away to tbe mountains and the woods just as soon as Octo ber and November come, and after all there is not much finer sport than chasing the deer or lying in ambush to wing the dainty quail, tbe woodcuck. tbe pheasant or the partridge. At any rate, hunting is becoming the sport of tbe wealthy and all those whose means will allow them to take a winter trip. The members of the Cheat Mountain Association, and also the members of the Keystone Hunting Club, will soon be away to the trees and the game. At this time of year nothing can bi morn interesting to tbe hunters than a recital of tb laws regulating the killing of game, not only in this State bu" in adtacent;Statcs. Judging from tbe number ol queries on this point that have reached this office during tbe last few days, there must be a very large number of peopls who intend to bave quail on toast if their guns can do it. To prevent further questioning on the matter the following sum mary of tbe game laws in thie State is given. The open seasons,tnat is the periods during which game can be killed, are as follows: Elk Oct 1 to Dec 15 Gray, black or fox squirrels. ...Sept, 1 to Jan. 1 Rabbits Nov. 1 to Jan. 1 Wild turkey Oct. 15 to Jan. 1 Woodcock July 4 to Jau. 1 Pheasant Oct. 1 to Jan. 1 Quail orpartndge Nuy. 1 to Dec 15 It is unlawful to kil', trap or have in posses sion, or expose for sale any nisectiverous, wild or songbird under a penalty of $10 tor each bird. To kill birds for scientific purposes you must get a license aud give bond. This plain and brief statement of the law ought to be sufficient guide to all who want to bunt legally. The game laws o( neighboriug States are in the main identical with the above. There iB one important fact that hunters should not forgetaiul that is the determination of leading clubs of sportsmen to prosecute all violators of the game laws. Yesterday afternoon a very prominent sportsman of this city said: "We mean to have tbe game laws enforced more rigidly than ever. There is an increasing de sire among tbe citizens to hunt in tbe fall and winter, and there is also a desire to violate the. law. Depend upon it tha; a sham lookout!.' being kept for people who are unsportsmanlike enough to nay no attention to the law made for tbe protection of the game." HE HAD A CLOSE CALv. The Celebrated Pittsburg Pacer Dallas Taken 111 While Being Sldpped. Tbo Grim Reaper made a determined reach for Pittsburg's great pacer Dallas, Friday night, and came within an ac 3 of cutting him off right in the beginning of what promises to be a great futnre. His chances were in tbe balance until yesterday, wben be took a turn for the bettor, and last mgb the was pronounced out of danger. S me days ago Mr. McCormick, owner of Dallas, received a letter from his brother who lives at ancatcr, O., asking him to send the celebrated side wheeler down there, as they wanted to sec him win the free-for-all pace. Mr. McCormick concluded to do so chiefly as a matter of pride, and Friday afternoon he was shipped from East Liberty. It took just six hours to land tbe car In the Union station yards, and in tho meautime Dal las had developed unmistakable signs of ill ness. The son of Cal Fredmore, his driver, bunted up a telephone as soon as possible and notified Dr. Jennings. That gentleman at once bad the car switched np to tbe foot of Grant street, and in the course of two or three hours alter Dallas had been given treatment he was removed to Dr. Jenuings' stable, on Second avenue. Dr. Jennings said last night that had Dallas been kept in the car over night without treat ment be certainly would have died. Asltwas it required a great deal of care to save him. Mr. McCormick was with bim for several hours after being notified, and last night was con gratulating himself on baying saved several thousand dollars' worth of horseflesh from the rude clutch of tbe FallmsBter. Dr. Jennings stated that the main trouble was a very severe attack of indigestion. GBEAT SPEINTniG. John Owens, of Detroit, Breaks the Amateur 100-Yard Record. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Washington. . October 1L The third an nual championship meeting of the Amatenr Athletic Union, held at Analostan Island, tbe home of the Columbia Athletic Club, opposite this city, this afternoon, was successful beyond anticipation. The attendance -exceeded ox pectation, while tbe contests were of a charac ter but too seldom seen. Three world's rec ords were created during the day. Jobn Owen, of Detroit, accomplishing tbe remarkable feat of running 100 yards in less than even time 10 seconds a record that has been accomplished by only two men before Harry Johnson and Harry Bethune and then it was made under conditions which made the authorities eye it distrustfully, although accepting it There can be no doubt of Owen's figures. Tbe most experienced officials in the country acted, and a remeasurement of the course showed It to be 1 inches over 100 yards. Al Copeland broke the running broad jump rec ord of 23 feet 3 inches. Queckberner, tbe her culean weight thrower, threw the 66-pound weight over two feet further than Mitchell's record. Owen's, Westing's and Dadman's running was the feature of tbe meeting. Downs' de feat by the latter In the half-mile race was the sensation of the day, George ran a beautiful mtle, and Ducharme's hurdling took botb championships West. Upset followed upset. Frank Murray recalled old times by winning the three-mile walk, from Nicholl In hollow style. A Challenge to George Smith. There Is a sprinter at Unlontown who is anx-. ions for a, race. He is willing to run George Smith, of this city. 100 or 120 yards, providing Smith concedes two yards start. The Union-' town sprinter is known there by the name of Stibbs, Quite a new name for a sprinter of such pretensions. Sporting Notes. Manager Heckei: went to Oil City last even ing. TBS Boston P. L. players were presented with their flag last evening. AND who Is 'Mr.Stubbs," the sprinter who has loomed up at Unlontown? THE most business-like and most sensible base ball club manager will, this winter, do his wore and say nothing. THE Board of Directors of the Amateir Athletic Association bave decided that Malcolm W. Ford Is a n; ofesslonal. All the usual conlectures and long talks regard ing what the baseball compromise will be are going the rounds. Curry and M.cQuald have been agreed upon as umpires for the world's series between the Brook lyn and Louisville clubs. Says a prominent turf writer: "A man that starts out with a ringer starts out to steal and should be treated as a thler. " ANDY McDowell Is the only driver that has given two mares records better than 2:15. They are Cricket, pacer, 2:10, and Margaret S, 2:12)$. IT would be Interesting to know how tbe series or games to be played by the Brooklyn N. L. and Louisville Association teams can be for tbe world's championship.

It la rumored among horsemen that Chicago Is to have a kite-shaped track exclusively for trotters In the near ruture, and that an option on a tract of land for the purpose In tbe southwestern part of the city has already been obtained. We hope the rumor will prove true. C. H. Siikrrill, the noted sprinter of the New York A. C. competed In the scratch 10O yard run at the South London Harriers' meeting held In London, Lngl.md.on September 30, and was again defeated, (Jut or a field of 14 starters he could do no better than finish fourth. The race was run in 10 2-5 seconds. Telegraph operators at the English race tracks have a busy time of it when there Is a big event on the card. On St Leger Day upward of 16,000 ordinary messages were received and dis patched lrom Doncaster, in addition to Dress tele grams which contained 100, oco words. Sixty-five operators coped with the mass or work. arrangements were completed yesterday for a glove contest between Ed Smith, of Denver, and George Godfrey, or Boston, for a purse of 12,000. 'Hie date was fixed lor November II, and it was agreed that gloves weighing 4M ounces shall be used. Smith has begun training at Muldoon's farm In Belfast, J. Y. Jere Dunn will be the referee. Harry Lowery. the little Englishman brought over by W. U. Farmer, has been doing some good riding lately. Ills three winning mounts at Louisville stamp him a good judge of pace, which Is necessary to success In riding. Lowery is sporting the silks and satins of Lyles & mariner, tnejasnviae turimen. THE fight between Mike Cashing and Austin Gibbons, the 132-pound professional pugilists, for a stake of tl.OOOaside. will be decided on Novem ber 6 at a place yet to be decided.
