Dcleut was tbe lotot the home players by the close score oT 6 to 4, and it was the consequence of the niost palpable carelessness on the part of the loser.-.

The Princeton ian, in iew of the fact that only two weeks re main before the Princeton-Yale game is to be played, makes for the benefit of the football men and students the following interesting critici-m on the Yale players- 'The Yale team on a whol is a rood one. Their interference and tackling ate fair, their rushing is sharp and heavy, and their general team work is of a ver high oider.' Harvey is the regulat lull-hack, hut is now laid up with a bad ankle. He is a long punter, his Tunning and dodging are good, and he is a sure tackier. McClung is playing an elegant game as half back. He rushes bard, is a good, fast limner, tackles low and sure, ard does the drop and places kicking. The other half-back will be either Williams or lllis. The former is large, a fast runner, and is a good scorer; the latter, though smaller, is a last runner but lias not had Williams" experience. Barbour is plaving ijuarter-bacK which position he held on" his clAssteam last eai. He has dono good Work this year in pas-nig and tackling and is a good man for the plare. Hartwell. of last jear'stcam, plays his old position on ti.e left end. and has improved very innchsii.ee then. He tackles low. follows the ball well but is a little slow in his movements. Crosby, on the ught end, is a new man and is ouiltaboat asllaitwel! He also tackles well, loes not follow tiie ball as wed a Hartwell, and is rather slow, Rhodes and Wallis are the taeklcrs, and are both good men. Khodcs Is a Iiard low tackier, blocks hard and tollons the balL He captains the team. Wallis is a stocky, ncavv built tackier, and runs well with tli- ball. His mode of playing I icij S1U111.U- toiuaioi .iu. xaie s center is (-nppoed to 1 the strong point of the team. Hellelhtiger is an old man and peifectly ac ipaalnted with tli- position, left guard, where he plays. He tackles v.ell and breaks through the line admirably. Morrison plays, risht guard, and i doing well in that position. Ho blocks well, ioe-. not break through with the i-ffect of IlciTcU.ngcr, but cannot be pushed aslce. llolcomb is playing center, but is not doing as good work as ho did at the beginning of the ieasou. He bothers his opponents consider ably, and puts the ball in plav himseir fairly well. On the whole tho Yale" team is heavy, andlhcv plav a hr.rd, resiling frame. Captain Rhodes has pirked his team from verv raw material, and has developed his men with'great skill. Ohio State. Team Defeated. cprctAL tj.leo-am to the uirpatch-i Gran-Viij.e, O., November 15.

I Magnate Tells Why Ho Sold Out to the N. 1 Chicago. November 15. President Addison, of the local Brotherhood Club, speaking of tbe sale of his club, said to-night: "When I went to Pittsburg I had a cinch hand to play. I had received an offer from the League for my club and could get out of tbe business at a small loss, Stilk I would not plav an act uf treachery, and resolved to do what was right at Pittsburg. When 1 arrived there the Boston people cornered me and asked me to go on, even if tbe others seceded. I told them that if thsy would put $30,000 into this clulrberel would go on. but unless, they did I would selk They agreed to do anything I asked. We met, and the New York club an pounced its determination to get into the League. Suddenly there came a clap of thun der tiom a clear sky in the resignation of the Pittsburgs. We even stood that, aud tho League had been reorganized on a six-club basis, and everything 'eemed lovely. We agreed to adjourn until 9 o'clock at night, and Ward and Irwin were to meet us at that lime. Nine o'clock came and pas-ed and no Ward ap peared. About lllrwin sauutered in, but I was disgusted w ith tbe whole thing and by that time I had made no my mind to gen out. An offer came in the meantime and I jumped. That is all there was to it. I have sold the club to Mr. Spalding through Mr. McAlpin. the ex President of the Plaers' League. When in Pittsburg I was approached by Mr. J. Palmer O'Nell and Mr.McAlpin. who made me an offer of 20.000 cash and 15.000 worth of stock iu the New York club for my club here. I held off, and the cash bonus was raised to 25.000. This I accepted, and tho club passed out of my pos session into that of tbe National League." WILL TEST THE LAW. Mr. Trince of Boston Thinks That P. 1 Clubs Must Stick Together. New York, Novombor 15. The Players' League meeting at the St. James Hotel con tinued until nearly 2 o'clock this morning.' Mr. Prince, of Boston, was asked this morning If he was to assume control of tbe League and he said he would wait until tbe fight was over. "How long,"' he was asked, "will it be before the fight is ended?'' "I don't know," he said. "Nor can I .tell. We are at present all Intact and tlujre is no reason why we can't go on as before." "i ou don't really mean that do you," the reporter asked, "for there are New York, Pittsburg and Brooklyn consolidated?" "Ye, I do. for thev can't legally withdraw. I feel sure of that. That Is what we discussed last nit;ht most of the time and we came to that conclusion. We will, however, be Dure before we take any decisive steps. This morning we will consult Judge Bacon and be guided by him." "What is the matter with Al Johnson that he so suddenly dropped from the position of the Players' League leader to that of a diciplea of the compromisers?!' Mr. Prince shrugged his shoulders and said he did not know. "I can't for the life of me." said be, "tee why he should desert us at this time.' ie." PEIDDY WINS AGAIN. The McKee's Kocks Pedestrian De feats E. C. McClelland in AK EXCITI1XG FIVE-MILE KACE. Two Thousand Excited People Witness the Hard Fought Contest. TROTTING GOSSIP FK01I KENTUCKY Probably there never was such an eicit ing foot race iu this State as that between Peter Pritldy and E. C. ilcClelland lat evening at Exposition Park. Fully 2,000 spectators were present, and their enthusi asm was unbounded. There were many features which went to make the contest one of an unusual nature. The runners arc claimed to be the two best five-mile run ners in the world, and the rivalry be tween them is of the very keenest kind. This latter fact caused the race to be one of the sauarest that has been run in this or any other country. Each man yesterday was "out for blood" to use the ordinary sporting term, and neither was ever in better condition In his life. The track, while sticky, was not extreme ly bad and the timo made, 20:40, was very good indeed, under the circumstances. For the thlitl time In succession in match races Priddy defeated the Soho man, and it is not unreason able now to say that we must admit Priddy to be the better man. The football match which precedod the race prevented the latter from commencing before 5 o'clock. It ought to have started at 4:30. As a result it was dark when the race ended. When the men appeared on the track betting was very lively at even money, but it was evi dont that Priddy had the majority of sup porters, as tho betting in soino parts of the park was 100 to SM) on Friday. The latter was iu the very pink of condition, and showed that Sam Day had taken excellent caro of him dur ing the five weeks' training. Priddy was full ol vigor and confidence. Tho same may be said of McClelland, who had been trained bv Chi is Roselip. McClelland just before ho started, said: "1 never felt so confident or winning as I do this time." In fact, both parties were very confident of victory. Ted Johnson was selected as referee anu starter, and Mr. Thornburg. of tho JFYfM, kept tally of the laDS. The track was one of a quarter of a mile, so that tne pedestrians had to round it 20 times in their race. Incitement ran very high when the runners toed tho mark. and betting was at its heaviest. Offers of 25 to 20 on Priddy were numerous and altogether between 51,500 and S2.000 were invested. The contestants were sent off to a good start, andfriddvat once allowed McClelland to be pace maker. McClelland went awav at a raerrv rate with Priddy at his heels. In this order they mi until the eighteenth lap had nearly been covered. Priddy stuck to his game opponent like a shadow, and do as he would McClelland could not get an inch further away than about two vards. McClelland's only hope was to break Priddy doun. and this he failed to ilo, although he made one of the pluckiest attempts ever seen on a track. When the eighteenth lap was nearly finished Priddy made his effort and McClelland re sponded and a most terrific struggle for the load ensuctl. Kach man sprinted his best, and it was here where Priddy showed his superiority. When thev had sprinted about To vards the McKee's Rocks champion was eight or ten yards in front. Tbe yells and shouts could have heen heard in Butler countv. McClellaml. the game man that be is. stnek to his work like a hero, and it was only because ho was behind a better man that ho could not improve his posi tion. They ran the' last lap like demon amid a drizzling rain and sticky track. Priddvwas too strong and too speedy, and that was all there was in it. He lauded a winner by about 20 yards in 20:10. The winner was completely exhausted and apparently rot so strong as Mc Clelland. The race was for 250 a side, the gate receipts, whicii netted the winner a large sum. The race needs little comment. McClelland, who is one of the pluckiest runners in the country, was simply beaten by a stronger aud speedier man. The former took his defeat much to heart, but he couldn't possibly find any fault except that he was not good enough to win. Priduy stated last evening that he is willing to run McClelland a race of ten miles. They have now run four match races, as fol low s: Fivo miles, one mile, three miles and that ofvesterday. Priddvhaswon the latter three and McClelland tho first. AGAINST THE THACK. The Linden Park Blood Horse Association Convicted for Allowing Betting. New Y'oi'.K. November 15. Tbe Linden Park Blood Horse Association, whicii operates tho Linden Park race track, was convicted at Eliz abeth to-day of keeping "a disorderly house," which is the New Jersey definition of running a race track where betting is main tained in violation of law. AS the association is a comoration the penalty will be a tine. The members of the association comprise many gentlemen well known in New York. They are piominent both socially and finan cially. The case against the association was resumed this moraine: in the Union County Court, at Elizabeth. Tbe evidence was all "submitted last night. Judge Van Syckel. in his charge to the jury, spoke strongly against the associa tion. Among other things he said: "The in dictment against the association was perfectly proper. The defendants should have shown that they could not stop gambling on their premises. "They did not show that thev even made an effort to stop it. If gambling is permitted in this open matter, the community would soon bo filled with gambling houses." Cortlandt Parker, on behalf of the Linden Park Association, tool: exception to this charge. The jury retired at 11:10, and after an absence of ten minutes returned with a ver dict, finding the Linden Park Association guilty, while Bookmaker Isaac S. Thompson was convicted in three minutes of illegal pool selling. Both verdicts will be appealed to the Court of Errors on the ground that Justice Van Syckcl's charge was prejudicial to tho defend ants. Copious exceptions were taken by Law yers Parker and Kalisch. Bookmaker Henry Stedeker and Robert G. Irviug, when Thompson was convicted, at onco entered pleas of guiltv, as the result, should thev staud trial, would be the same, and they said they did not want the county to be put to any more expense. Sentences will not be im posed until after tbe decision of the Court of Anpeals next February. The lawyers for the defense are hopeful of getting the vei diets set aside. The trials of Bookmakers Joseph L. Anderson and George Johnson were put off until the January term. THE LOCAL BENCH SHOW. Bright Ontlook for the Pittsburg Canine Exhibition to he Held In March. J. O'H. Denny and W. E. Littell, or the Du quesne Kennel, have just formed a circuit of the different bench shows.

Secretary Littell, speak ing of the coming show yesterday, said while at thoannual meeting of the American kennel in New Yrork some two weeks ago, moat of the nuied breeders of sporting and non-sporting dogs joined the circuit, and tbe prospects are for the best show ever held in this State, and he is receiving letters fiom all over the coun try from parties who want to show their dogs at the coming show. He says the club intends to offer some $2,500 in premiums. PEMALE BICYCLE BACE. An Interesting Eventto Start In East Liberty To-Morrow Evening.

GOSSIP FR'DM KENTUCKY. A Largo Amount vf Young Trotting Stock Thrown on the Market Interesting Pointers About the Entries for Terro Haute's Big Race. SPECIAL TELEOBAK TO THE DIRPATCn.l Lexington, .Ky.. November 15. This hag been a bad week for trotting in tbe Blue Grass region.

While these gentlemen aie trying to dispose of their best animals others are taking their places and no later than last week tho celebrated thoroughbred breeding establish ment "Dixiana" was turned over to a trotting horseman, who will breed tho light harness hoise there on an extensive scale It seems that as soon as some men become possessed of a littlo money they rush into the tiotting horse breeding business. They may know a .rood horse when they seo one, but when i't comes to the details of breeding and rearing horses they know abso lutely nothing. Ami yet they think it strange that such men as A. .1.

Some days ago "Lofty" Marr. one of the four unpaid players, received the following telegram from Secretary Brunell, of the Players' League: "Send check to Monongabela House, Pitts burg, by Monday sure. Will f inward draft from there." -Marr kept his dishonored check, but drew on Brunell for $371 42 through tbe German National Bank. The draft was re turned with the word "refused" on the back. Attempts have been made to get hold of the dishonored paper, which the players havo been smart enough to hold. It is evidence of their just claims, and to lose it would be to destroy the strongest proof of the unpaid debts. THE MAGNATES ADJOTJHN. National League Delegates End Their Meet ing in a Very ynlet Way. New York, November 15. The delegates of tbe National League resumed their meeting to day. After the meeting everyone was close mouthed. It was known that A. G. Spalding made a speech, and that the Pittsburg Club representatives made a statement of the finan cial matters. The other clubs will probably help Piitsburg out by taking stock. The meet ing adjourned subject to the call of the Chair. Mr. Byrne, of Brooklyn, said: "No resolu tions or statements were made, and about the most important thing was that of leaving all the difference between the opposing clubs in the cities, where they exist, to the conference committee composed of A. G. Spalding, John B. Day and myself." "That means that j ou will settle the Cleve land. PbiladclDhia and Boston questions, does'nt it?" was asked. "No, we nave no arbitrary power at all. only the power to get at the bottom of tbe troubles aud report our opinions to the National League. We won't hurry ourselves, as the League will not probably meet again until late in tne winter and at that time we hope to have everything settled. Philadelphia may be set tled bv the consolidation uf tho Players' and Athletic clubs." Sporting Notes. John Teem eii, the sculler, was a spectator of yesterdav 's loot rare.

Serious Charges Against a Minister Formerly of Franklin. PREFERRED M HIS OWN CHURCU. Ashtabula May Not Get Its Lons-Wislied-For Life Station. SCOTTDAliE JlIXL'llS DEMAND SCALES Fbaxklin, Pa., November 15. One of the lullest and most startling disclosures ever made of the tlcubtl'ul character o! a minister of the gospel appeared to-niglit in tbe Franklin Eveniny iVetcs in a four column expose or oue Euclid 1!. Eogers, formerly pastor of the First Baptist Church of this cily, but now pastor ol the First Baptist Church of Burlington, la. The article consists principally of several reports by the deacons of the church and adopted by a large meeting of the ehurcb. The deacons are: Charles Miller, twice a Mayor of this city, President several times ot thefr. A. li. of Northern Pennsylvania, and Humiliated by the Prohibition party, whicii honor he declined; D. AV. Morgan, postmaster, and J. A. Humphrey, .T. II. White, George 31. Parkinson, It. A. Bigley and Frank Johnson, all prominent business men. His alleged vindication at Burlington, la., which was widely telegraphed to the press wa simnlv a white-washing, says the report. Tho Baptist Chinch, of Franklin, declares in sub stance that Rogers does not pay his honest debt;; that he was bnit.il toward his wife, who secured a divorce from him: that be is a hypocrite, and that his immoral conduct is almost unparalleled. His conduct at Weeds port, N.

BITE OF A STEANGS EEPTUVE, Of a Species Locally Unknown, Endangers a Parmer's Life. PTKCIAl. Ti.Li.GHAM TO THE DISPATCH.: Beaver Falls, November 15. Yester day morning George Grossman, a farmer, living about five miles west of this place, met with a singular accident. He was en gaged in clearing away some underbrush on his farm, and in rolling over a log discov ered a snake, apparently dead, lying in a hole under the log. A closer investigation showed that the snake was only benumbed with cold. He picked it up, carried it to a fire in the brush a little distance off, and made a bed for it close to the glowing embers. Shortly afterward he returned to the fire, and found the snake lying in the position he had placed it. He reached down to pick it up, when, quick as lightning, it struck him on tbe hand Willi Its fangs. He killed the reptile instantly, and then hurried home, as his hand was beginning to swell, and pained him badly. The bite was dangerous, but by drinking whisky without stint, and by bathing and cauterizing the wound, Mr. Grossman lias re covered. The reptile was about three feet long and of a species unknown here. THE EAILEOADS WON'T YIELD. Ashtabula is Not Likely to Get the Life Saving Station as Expected. fSrECUL TEI.XGr.ASt TO THE D1SFATCH.1 ASIITAHUI.A, November 15. The part of the river aud harbor bill referring to life saving stations ou tbe lakes, passed by the Senate aud House last spring, contained a clause allowing an appropriation of 5,000 for the establishment of a station here. This port receives more iron oiethan any other place in the world, the yearly receipts amounting to about 2.500,000 tons, and ou account of tbo large shipping in terests necessary for such a business, a station is needed very much. After the amount appropriated was ready for use nlans were made aud Captain Doboius, superintendent of the life saving service of this district, and two department clerks from Washington came here to select a site. A re view disclosed the fact that the railway com panies owned and controlled all land suitable lor a station, the Lako Shore on the east side of tbe channel and the Pennsylvania on the west. Both roads refused to sell or lease the small piece wanted. A petition signed by tbe Major and Council, besides a majority ot the vessel owners of the lakes', was then sent to Vice President McCrea, of the Pennsylvania, who finally offered a site, providing the Gov ernment would, at the company's request, re move the station and give up tbo site. This proposition was forwarded to Acting General Superintendent Piper, of the Treasury De partment, who refused to lease on the terms specified. Unless a site can be secured of private prop erty owners which does not seem probable this port will have to do without a station. The trouole also prejudices tbe city's chances lor an appropriation of $2,000,000 asked for a break water. MINEES WAHT WEIGH SCALES. K. of L.
