" 'i 5 r I. i v 1 A TIE OF IT, The Detroit and Home Football Teams Have a Scrapping Time at Exposition Park. FmCETOX WINS A GREAT GAME. A Local r. L. Clou Director Makes an Im portant Statement Aboat Con solidating the Clubs. KEWS ABOUT KENTUCKr TEOTIEnS Qcdfrey txd Ecith to bs Arrested Gtneul Ejcrtmg Ktvri cf tie Diy. If downright, thorough scrapping, fisht ins or bulldozing will jirevent anv team of football players from being defeated, the Detroit aggregation that visited Exposition Park yesterday should never lose a contest. Such a detcrmtned lot of objectors and hurrah bluffers never set foot in Pittsburg before, and if any local player escaped from the game without a broken head, rib or lep; it cs no fault o" the visitors. Their style of play is no credit to themselves nor 10 the same cenernllj, and "they did not win at" that. Certainly they displajed some good features of football playing, but their char acteristics o" roughness more than counter balanced their better point. The weather was miserable, being damp and co'.il. At times rain fell, maKing the surround ings for the spectators extremely disagreeable. Desmte the inclement weather.bowever.ncarly 1.C00 people w ere present and the gi ounds were in much better condition than was expected. The contest, as already Intimated, was one of the lively and demonstrative kind. Neither sale on, the score staiding six and six at the end of one hour and a ball's play. Only one feature, except the "scrapping" proclivities or the visitors, saved them from defeat. That was their very power ful rushing. In all other respects the home team snowed their superiority as lar as football playing was concerned. The Detrolters, how ever, deserve credit for reai good rushing, and had it not been forlhat ihcv never would have scored. As rubbers they would not be denied because they simply forced themselves toward the Athletics' coal by sheer strength and con certed effort. In this respect the home ulaers would do well to take a Ioonnrtwo. The two teams were made up as follows: Athletic. l'osltlon. Detroit. ienrlas n. r. faxion .Mailer It. T lirMnaid ttasner It u ilnsler Jliller Center. Moorhrad darkle. L. f J. Oliver Jixytrard t,. T Tliomp'.on Joy L h. l; row n .Hamilton Quarter back II. Oliver "Warren 1. Hair back Fry "liope 1.. Half Imct Valentino Jlrooks 1 ull back JlcCord The home team was not as strong probably as it might have been. At times there was a lit tle loo-e play by the half backs but gcnerallv tpeaking tbo home plaers did verj well af ter the rirst 20 minui es. Valen tine and'Fry played very well, although the latter missed the ball iace at a critical stage. Professor Gault was referee and Mr. E. Kobinson was umpire. The latter gentleman, however, resigned bis posi tion owing to tha boisterous insults of the vis itors. Mr. Morgan replaced Mr. Robinson. The o.ntest started at 3iW. the Athletics hav ing the ball. They soon gained tcu yards, but that was speedilv lost by slo.v work on the part ofMcCord. Thompson then made a most dar ing attempt to break clean through Detroit's line and gained Sully 2U yards amid cheers. The isi:ors then braced up and got the ball, ily a determined rush they gained 25 vards. getting within a fen yards of tho Athletic' coal. The Athletics tuen secured the ball and by a gallant run Paxton gaii.cd 15 yards, but the Detroits made another desperate effort and forced the contest by their rushing. Yard by vard thev ru-hed nearer their oppo nent's goal entirclv by the V tactics, and Dually Ha ward was rushed over the line, making a touch down. Warren followed with a goal luck, making a total or 6. Play bad lasted 2U minutes. During tbo balance of the first half the home players bad all the best of it. The rushing o the home plaers was now cctter than it had been and they got the ball within two yards of Detroits' goal. Here a lone wrangle look place which caused Umpire Kobinson to retire from the contest. Detroit had the ball, audthe referee, because ol foul play on the part of the visitors, ordered it to the home team. Hence the kick. "Finally plav was resumed and Valentine soon made a touchdown. Fry subsequently kicking goal, tieinc the score. The second half waK a desperate strugcle, neither side scoring. It was noteworthy for s.cnmmages and rushing, and when timo was called the ball was about in the center of the grounds. None of the plajers were disabled, but many of them were badly scratched and cut. A GEEAT CONTEST. Princeton Defeats 1'cnnsjlvunia by Only Six Points After a Struggle.

There was considerable rough rlay and occasional slug ging, but no one was disqualified. In the second half the ball was put in play just inside the Crescent goal line. Moffat kicked, but the ball struck a goal post and slid in among the crowd. Had he made a safety the game might have been saved. There was a rush and scattering of spectators. The referee could not tell whose ball it was. The Crescents claimed that Uucher got it, but Orange also claimed it. and the referee gave the touch down to the Utter: It was taken out and DeHart tried for a goal, but he was rattled and the ball rolled along the ground. The score then stood: Crescent, S; Oranee, 4.

Cheering Signs of a Local Settlement A Local P. L. Director Wants to Consoli date Both Clubs on an Equal Basis. There is a very strong hope of aspeedy settle ment of tbe baseball trouble as far as Pittsburg is concerned. A prominent director of the local P. L. club made the following very sig nificant statement esterdav afternoon: "1 and others of the P. L. club are ready to consolidate tho two clubs on Monday on equal terms, that is each party to take 50 per cent of the stock. I am aware that we are conceding very much to which tho local N.L. club di rectors bavo no claim, but rather than continue tbe unpleasant state of things that bas spoiled; everything, I am willing to sacrifice consider ably, others of us are prepared to do the same. We are prepared to meet Mr. Nimick and others on Monday to see if we cau come to terms before Tuesday. We do this in the in terest of peace only, believing that the public will support us in so doing." It was learned last evening that tho local N. L. directors are quite willing to meet to-morrow with a view of ending tho local warfare. TheJ announcement of tbe P. L. director who requests his name to be withheld trom the public will undoubtedly be hailed this morn ing with the heartiest delight by every lover of baseball in and about Pittsburg," and'the P. L. director and his friends ought certainly to.not be forgotten if matters are amicably adjusted to-morrow. There is nothing reasonable to prevent it, now that tbe director in question has come so patriotically to the front. The very fact of such a 'declaration being made will canse the public more than ever to not rest satisfied until all the nonsense is ended. When it is ended everybody will be gainers and good gainers at that. In view of the above state ment ot tbe P. L. director nobody can now say that all the local P. L. directors are stand ing in the way of a settlement, and it is now timo for everybody else to step to one side. KENNAED MEANS FIGHT. The St. Paul Kid TaUcs Very Plainly to Spider Kelly. New Yobk.

I wish to state that I will fight hlm under the same conditions, viz., at 107 pounds, give ortake two pounds. 1 would not have a man hound me like I have Kelly, even if he weighed ten pounds more than I do. "Why don't he say he Is afraid to fight me and I will jtItc up all pros pects of a match with him? 1 will make hlm a fair proposition. The Puritan Club offers a 1,000 purse. If I whip Kelly 1 will make hhu a present or 200. If Kelly whips me he can have the entire pnrse. I will alto bet hlm as much as be likes on Hie oat-lde. My backer is ready to post ?o00 within 24 hours to bind the match. In reply to Flaherty's challenge, I will say that if be posts a forfeit or gets some club to offer a good purse. 1 will be right alter him. Vouis trulv. Jimmie Kexxaiid. When the above was shown to Kelly he was chatting socially with a party of friends, who edged hiui on to accepting Kennard's chal lenge but to the surprise of all tho "Spider"' flew into a rage and at once started out to find the "Kid," whom he vowed ho would thrash on sight, but when, ac hour later, he ran across Kennard in a Bowery sporting resort, his anger bad vanished. Their meeting however, was shprt and business-like, and before parting they came to an understandinc by which Kelly will meet Kennard shortly after his go witc Murphy. They will sign articles next week. THEY T.TKT. DANF0BTH. Betting Men Think Ho Will Defeat Brennan In Their Fight To-Day. Memphis, November 8.

Cincinnati, November a The person who will furnish a key to the muddle, as applied to Cincinnati's position in the baseball world, would be welcomed just now. Tbe enthusiasts do not know wbero tbey are, and there is no evidence at hand ti show that they care very much.

An offer n $20,000 was made hut not accepted, and every thing is in a state of uncertainty. Cincinnati will probably be represented at tbo anuual meeting of tbe National League, and there will be a scramble for tho franchise. Two factious are anxious to secure control. Harry Sterne already regrets be ever consented to be driven into quitting tbe field, and bo bas associated with mm four of the wealthiest young business men in tbe city, who are anxious to invest if ho agrees to return tn the field. Mr. Sterne was tho fighter ot the old firm, and be went into th e business because he was a "crank." Now that he is out be is as uneasy as a fish on land.

So don't be surprised if he comes to life again. I'd como very near knowing of his real deatb, and the usual rcsuirection may occur in Australia, where a fortune awaits a rnnncr of Johnson's ability, if bo can slip into the big handicaps and receive a liberal start." jV; Y.
