There will be a busy time at Exposition Park this afternoon. Two big events will take place, viz: The football game between the Cleveland eleven and the team of the Allegheny Athletic Association, and the foot race between 1'riddy and McClelland. Tiic football match is first on the card, and throuzh the courtesy of the members of the athletic club, the contest will start at 2:30 in order to allow time for the foot race. It is quite safe to say that the game to-day will be one ot the most interesting that has taken place here. The Cleveland aggrega tion are strangers to Pittsburg as far as football playing is concerned, but their quality as players is well known among all lovers of the came. They have been quite busy so.far this season, and have proven tbat they are not marks for the very best ot people. The home team. It is expected, will be stronjer to-day than it has ever been, at least that is the opinion of the majority of authorities of the came in the city. Changes of an important kind have been made in the make-up of the team, which will make it stronger and produce more elf ectivo team nork. Valentine will be quarter back, and that prompts a deal ol con fidence in ecrjbod. 'lliompson will be one of the half backs, and H. Olner will be fullback. These to all appearance are very Rood chances. Beside these change-.. Prorrsaor, of the Kast End Gwunasiutn. will be npht guard. This is eipected to add considerable strength to the team. Follomus will be the make-np of the team: Cleveland. Position. Athletics. M. Glcas-on KichtKnd Pax ton. naehr Hicht Tackle... .Uiainard. Jilack Right Uuard....Kirchner. Stewart enter Moorhead.

Oliver. As soon as the football contest is ended the ground will be cleared for the foot rare. The Crounds will certainly be cleared at 3:1a. The track was mea-uied jesterday and it is likely that it will be m excellent condition to-day. The men are to runftte miles ior$250a side and a proportionate division ot the gate re ceipts. They will be on the mark at 4:30 and the referee and oitnl flrer are to be chosen on the ground. The lace is an important one, as each rnnner claims to be the best runner in the world at that distance, in short each claims to be the champion hve-milc lunncr. During this ear each man has done good work, and at Boston during the nmmer McClelland deleatea Priddy in a rive-mile race after a hard etruccle. Pndd claims tbat he was not in good condi tion to run at that time. Later iu the season lie won three races on one day at Ken-York against some of the best runners in the world. On the same day McClelland won the five-mile race at Recreation, this city. Since that time there has been considerable talk between them. A well-known sporting mau finally got them matched and to-Uays race is the result. To say who the winners will be is a difficult matter." Both runners are m excellent condi tion, and both arc confident of winning. Each lias had a careful preparation for the race, and It is likely that speculation on the race will bo at even monej. McClellaiuVs pirty claim that their mau run three mile'- m 15 minutes two or three dajs ago, and finished exceedingly strong. Uotii will run well, tbat in certain, and in all probability one of the best races ever seen here will take place. WILL BACK TEE HARVABDS.

In all probability there will be opportu nity to secure -eeral fiit-class players and it 5s cafe to sa3 that the directors of the club will leave no stone unturned in trying to sign play ers of national repute, bneaking on the mat ter jestcrda. Al. Scandrcttsaid: 'Qf course thero arc many wild rumors going about regarding who will play on the team and who will be the officials of it. Some of these rumors aro Vemg circulated with the object of causing smie among the consolidated stock holders. Let mo state definitely that theie are not two parties in the new organization. There Is only one partj because every stockholder has only one object in view, that is to get the best players possible and to have a prohtable team.

THE riGETERS OZJ TEIAL. SlaIn and McAuliiib Appear Before an English Judge and Jury. TUT BUNXAT'S CAULK COMrANT.1 Losuox. November It At the Surrey Ses sions Court to-day Slavin and McAuliffc, tbo pegs, were put on trial for assault on each other and breach of the peace. Mr. Poland, Q, C prosecuted for the Crown and Sir Charles Ttusseil defended. Both of the men when tbey appeared in court seemed to be in excellent trim, especially Slavin, who was resplendent with jrurgenus flowers in las buttonhole. Sir. Poland lead tke terms of the combat and de scribed the seem to be not a mere exhibition of skill, but alight t win money, aud said that if the jurv had anv common sense it would and that the affair was an illegal prize fight. Inspector Chisholm was the first witness. He .aid he had attended the contest, and detailed fhe incidents. A brand, new pair of gloves was produced, which the Inspector manipulated so as to push the padding from the knuckles, as be aliened the seconds had done before. In spite of Sir Charles Russell's objection the wit ness described the behavior of the spectators. He said that some 15 or 20 minutes elapsed after the lh'ht wns over before McAulirfe recovered I himself sufficiently to leave his corner, which he attributed to tne euect ot restricting tne number of rounds to 15, which made the fight ing faster and more furious. Inspector Darling deposed that he had never seen a man hit so hard as Slavin, though he had often seen blood drawn in fights of the kind now under consideration. One of the referee, a man by the name of Vize, said that McAuIiffc's collapse was dne to over-exertion in the first round and the heavv blows deliv ered by Slavin. The case was adjourned until to-morrow. WILL SOON BE SETTLED. A Little Hitch Among the Brooklyn Mag nates Delays the 'End of the Baseball AVar President Brush Gets the Cincin nati Franchise. srZCIAt. TELEGRAM TO 1HS DISfATCH.l Xr.K York, November It It is expected that within the next 48 hours the crash will conic and that the Players' League will be so effectually demolished that nothing more will ever be heard of it On the surface very little was accomplished to-day. The National League magnates met, but had a very short session at which nothing of importance was done. One of the vital points of difference toward a settlement is in Brooklyn. No con solidation has taken place there.as neither side is willing to give in enough to effect one. To-day A. G. Spalding had several long con fei ences w ith President Goodwin, of the Brook lyn Players' League Club. The whole hitch is believed to be the refusal of each party to play' on the other's grounds. The capitalists of the Plajors' League Club are heavily interested in real estato uear Eastern Park. As far as the team is concerned they care nothing. The probability is that an amicable settlement will be arrived at. Each set of capitalists desires to buy the other out. The latest developments, as lar as learned. are that a consolidation of the two clubs will take place on a 50 per cent basis. President Byrne said to-night that the matter was in process of settlement and that everj thing might come out all right by Monday next or possibly sooner. As to any of the details he refused to speak. boon after theN. L. met to-day the directors presented a report recommending the expul sion of the Cincinnati club. By an unanimous vote this was done. The franchise of tbat city was granted to John T. Brush and a syndicate of Cincinnati capitalists. This move was looked upon as very suspicious. The P. L. people who now own the present club will be forced to come to time and sell out at whatever figure may be set by Brush and his partners. VAN HEEST WINS AGAIN. The Buffalo l'eather-'Weight Defeats Xeary In Seven Lively Bounds. Bradford, Pa., November 11. Johnny Van Heest, the clever feather-weight of Buffalo, added another link to his long chain of victories by defeating Martin Neary. of Philadelphia, in a hotly contested seven-round fight early yes terday morning just over the New York State line Van Heest showed excellent judgment, fought cautiously, and when he landed he made it tell every time. After standing seven rounds of terrific pounding, the Pbiladelphian's light was put out by a left hand swing on the point of the jaw Neary made a game exhibition and took some terrific punishment with great fortitude. The contestants came into the ring at 12:15, Van Heest being first. He was looked after hy Tom Manning and Mike Leary. Neary fol lowed a moment later, and his seconds were Tom Clark and Jack Lynch, both of Philadel phia. Danny Kline, of Bradlord, and Harry Miller were timekeepers. Jim O'Donnel, of Bridgeport, Conn., was referee. As the meu came to the center of the ring to shake hands, it was seen tbat Nearv had the longer reach and was heavier, but Van Heest looked strong and sturdy. Van Heest bad the best of it from the start ana repeatedly knocked Neary down. The win ner is ready to fight any feather-weight in the world, aud can get backing for 2,000. See Them Hanged First.

Mrs. Brown then told him the Savior wanted monev too, and bad sept her to him for lr. He gave it to her. and kept on giving her money tor Christ, Adelaide and the ancels until he bad civen all he had. He then sold his farm out West and gave all that, until he was worth nothing more. Then, and only then, he began to see that all was not right, and tbat the saints were using a great deal of terrestrial cash, and through the advice of friends he began this suit to recover what bis experience as a Spiritualist had cost him. He is an old man, and when be took the stand to give his story be tottered as he walked. There is a large number of witnesses to testify on both sides, and the verdict will be awaited with a great deal of interest. VISITJITG STATESMEN KTEEESTED.

"VSP Continued From First Page. 500 times the original amount, tolerance can no longer be accepted as an explanation. "As we know of nothing analogous to such a rapid and complete adaptation to an extremely active remedy, the phenomenon must rather be explained in this way. That on the beginning of tbe treatment there is a good deal of tuberculous living tissue, and that consequently a small amount of the active principle suffices to cause a strong reaction, but by each injection a certain amount of the tissue capable of reaction disappears and the larger doses are necessary to produce the same amount of re action as before. "Within limits a certain degree of habituation may be perceived as soon as the tuberculous patient has been treated with increasing doses, for so long that the point is reached at which reaction is as ieeble as that of a non-tuberculous pa tient. Protection From Fresh Infection. "Then it may be assumed that all tuber culous tissue is destroyed and then the treatment will only have to be continued by slowly increasing doses and with interrup tion, in order tbat the patient may be pro tected from fresh infection while bacilli are still present in tbe organism, and whether this conception and the in Terence that fol lows from it be correct the future must show. They were conclusive as far as I am concerned, in determining the mode of treatment by the remedy, which in our in vestigations was practiced in the following manner: "To begin with the simplest case, lupus, in nearly every one' of these cases, I injected tbe full dose of 0.01 cubic centimeter from tbe first. I then allowed the reaction to come to an end, and then, after a week or two, again injected 0.01 cubic centimeter, continuing in the same way until the re action became weaker and then ceased. In two cases of facial lupus the lupus spots were thus brought to complete cicatrization by three or four injections. The other lupus cases improved in proportion to the dura tion of treatment Sufferers for Many Tears. "All these patients had been sufferers for many years, having been previously treated unsuccessfully by various therapeutic meth ods. Glandular, bone and joint. tuberculosis was similarly treated, large doses at long in tervals being made use ot. The result was the same as in the lupus cases, namely, a speedy cure in recent and slight cases, slow improvement in severe cases. "The thought involuntarily suggests itself that relief might possibly be brought to many of these severely afflicted patients by a combination of this new therapeutic method with surgical operations (such as the operation for emojfemn), or with other curative methods, and here I would earn estly warn people against conventional and indiscriminate application of the remedy in all cases of tuberculosis. "The treatment will probably be quite simple in cases in which the beginning of phthisis and simple surgical cases are con cerned, but in all other forms of tuberculosis medical art must have full sway by careful individualization and making use of all other auxiliary methods to assist the action of the remedy. Opposed to Home Treatment. "In many cases the decided impression was created tbatjtbe careful nursing bestowed on the patient had a considerable influence and I am in favor of applying tbe remedy in proper sanataria as opposed to treatment at home and on the oat patient room. How far the methods of treatment already rec ognized as curative, such as mountain climate, fresh air treatment, special diet, etc., may be profitably combined with the new treatment cannot yet be definitely stated, but I believe tbat these therapeutic methods will also be highly advantageous when com bined with the new treatment. "In many cases, esuecially in the con valescent stage, as regards tuberculosis of the brain and larynx, and unitary tuber culosis, we had too little material at our disposal to gain proper experience. The most important point to be observed in the new treatment is its early application. The proper subjects for treatment are patients in the initial stage of phthsis, for in them the enrative action can be most fully shown, and for this reason, too, it cannot be too seri ously pointed out that practitioners must in the future be more than ever alive to the importance of diagnosing phthisis in as early a stage as possible. Up to the present time the proof of tubercle bacilli in tbe sputum was considered more as an interest ing point of secondary importance, which, though it made diagnosis more certain, could not help the patient in any way, and which, in consequence, was often neglected. One Feature Repeatedly Noticed. "This I have lately repeatedly had occa sion to observe in numerous cases of phthisis, which had generally gone through the hands of several doctors without any ex amination of the sputum having been made. In tbe future this must be changed. A doctor who shall neglect to diagnose phthisis iu its earliest stupe by all methods at his command, especially by examining the sputum, will be guilty of the most seri ous neglect of his patient, whose life may depend upon the early application of that specific treatment. "In consequence, in doubtful cases medical practitioners must make sure of the presence or absence of tuberculosis, and then only will the new therapeutic method become a blessing to suffering humanity, when all cases of tuberculosis are treated in their earliest stage, and we no longer meet with neglected serious cases forming an in extinguishable source of fresh infections. "Finally, I would remark, that I have purposely omitted statistical accounts and 'descriptions of individual cases, because the medical men who furnish us with patients for our investigations have themselves de cided to publish tbe description of their cases, and I wished my account to be as ob jective as possible, leaving to them all that is purely personal."

In tbe first place, Director Gen eral Davis feels ignored by the local di rectory. It was his understanding that he should have the appointment of his sub chieis, but the directory has already ap pointed two of them without consulting him. When seen about the matter, Mr. Davis said: "I do not care lo talk much about this affair. It is a matter of record that nt tbe time of the appointment of Mr. Burn ham as Chief of Construction I filed a pro test. The National Commissioners are here now to settle up these little differences, and I suppose they will. I certainly will not stand the action of the directory." "Will the resignation of these gentlemen be demanded ?" "I have filed my protest, and do not care to iurtber talk about it." GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.

Subse quently a meeting of the Executive Com mittee was held, at which various matters of detail were discussed. BUILDING LOCATION DISPUTE. Tno members of the committee expressed themselves as willing to take up the matter of the location of buildings, and "to break down the schemes of placing too many build ings upon the Lake Front. The National Grounds and Buildings Committee met the members of the Local Building Committee this afternoon. Messrs. Martindale, Smith Kerens and Goodell asserted that that tbe commission would insist that there be no more than two buildings erected upon the Lake Front, instead of six or seven as pro posed by the local directory. President Palmer said on the subject: "I shall resign it the plan as outlined at a re cent meeting of the directory is insisted upon. Mr. Gage was right in declining to sanction the resolutions."
