THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH.' "WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1890. DEFIES THE WORLD Teter Priddj Puts Up a Forfeit to Knn Any Man a Two, Three or Pive-Mile Foot Race. MYERS DEFIKITELY CHALLENGED. A Meeting Called to Organize a Local Foot ball League to Play Under As sociation Unlcs. GODFREY DEFEATS SMITH, OF DENVER. Litest About the B&sei&ll S.tuition General Sporting New of the Day. Peter Priddy is to the front with a chal lenge that shows he means business in the truest sense of the word. lie called at this office last evening and put up a forfeit of f50, accompanied by a challenge to run any bodr in the world two, three or fire miles for 500 or 1,000 a side. His challenged reads as follows: ""Seeing a challenge in jour paper to the eficct that an unknown would run nie a fire mile race, I wish to state once for all that I will run no man except the name of ray opponent is made known when the articles are signed. If no names are mentioned I am giving the op posing party a great advantage inasmuch as I may break down in training and will have to forlcit, wbilo the opposing party can have any number to choose from. To show, however, that I am ready to run anybody, I now put up a forteit of $50 with the Sporting Editor or The Dispatch to run any man in the world a race of two, three or fie miles for $300 or SL00O a side, the race to take place three or six weeks after signing articles. I insist on the name of mv opponent beinc made known when we sign articles. I also challenge H. Fredericks or LG Myers to a mile race for $500 or 1,100 a side, the raietotake place three or six weeks after signing articles. 1 will allow my forfeit to re main up for two weeks, and if it is not covered in that time I will take it down and claim the championship for the distance named. I don't desire any newspaper talk, and. therefore, will not ray any attention to replies made to my challenge unaccompanied by a forfeit" 1 he above challenge certainly is plain and pointed enough for anything. Friddy means evcrythinc he sas. It mav be likely that M.crs will be di-posed to tackle the Pittsburger according to challenge, and if he does one of the most important races that has taken place fur years will be witnessed. Friddy is anxious for a race, and he can soon get into first-class condition. PRINCETON'S PEOSPICIS. Captain Foe Giving His Team Final Pointers for ToOIorrow's Contest. Fbincetox, November 25. As the big game draws near the interest continues to increase. 'She students feel somewhat more confident, if not of victory, at lea-t of keeping down Yale's score. The team and others who attended the Yale-Harvard game returned yesterday favor ably impressed with Yale's strength and all round good game. The players say she has a good rush line, but think our backs excel those of Yale, and, therefore, these will be used by Captain Foe to the best advantage. No doubt he will give Yale a kicking game, and thus an opportunity to fumble plenty of punts. Captain Foe, however, is far from beiugas confident as lie was last ear. To-day. by his orders, the gates to the fiela were closed against all uould.be spectators. .Many went with the hope of getting into the grounds, but were refused admittance. The reason for this course of action is two-fold: to guard against Yale men entering the field, and to make doubly sure that no one but the placers themselves will have a chance to divulge his tricks and tactics. The two teams w ent through these at the usual time, spending over two hours in extra practice in passing the ball and kicking goals from vari ous angles with the gnai posts. 7 lie students holding tickets for bleacher scats have decided to occupy the eastern side f the held in order that ibey may be together. Eight students have been appointed to lead the cheering in order to make it hearty and sys tematic The motto given to the students to show the great interest that all Fnncetonians feel in the game is "Everybody talk." YALE AND PBINCETON. Some Changes to be Made in the Former Team for To-Morrow. TFECIAI. TELLOItAM TO THE DIRPATrtt.J Ntw Haven, Con, November 25. The Yale team expect to win from Princeton Thursday, but at the same time tnere is a sort of "don't cai c" in their talk which is significant. Holcnmb will not play his place at center, and it will be filled by Lewis. The rest of the rush line will be the same asm the Harvard game, but liacL ot the line there will be a couple of changes. The half-backs will be Miss and JlcClung, Aihile Harvey will be at bis place at. full back. "What little money the Yale men have left will le staked at almost anvtbing like reasonable odds. The losses of the ilarvai a game by Yale men alone are estimated at S10.0UU. Brat the High. School Team. TfTKCIAL TKLt.llAM lu TUB UIM-ATCit.l New York, November 25. At Prospect Park this afternoon the Pratt Institute team played a spirited game with the team from the BrooLIvn High bctlool. The High School had the ball at the start, nut lost it without making anycain. Morgan, b one of bis pretty runs, scored a touch down for the lnmtute and then kicked the goal.

They Lea c Ixmisi ille and Talk About Their Proposed New Circuit. Louisville. November 25. The members of the American Baseball Association and other baseball men who came to the annual meeting here yesterday went to MacAuley's Theater upon invitation last night, and were enter tained at a lunch at the Pendennis Clubby President Phelps and President Parson, of Louisville. All left to-day and there was no further meeting of any kind. It w as generally stated last night that the formation of the con ference committee to make up the circuit for next year was largely for the purpose of oust ing the Rochester. Syracuse and Toledo clubs, and one paper published a wild story that Rochester and Syracuse would be excluded on the grounds that in failing to play Sunday games they had failed to play games scheduled in the articles of agreement. Then with two newclnhs Toledo could be excluded for busi ness reason. There was a general cry that the three clubs bad been trapped and induced to vote for the conference committee which meant their cer tain exclusion. This is denied by Association ciflictais. who say the conference committee will not attempt to force out Rochester, Toledo and Syracuse, but will try to make a friendly settlement with them by the purchase of their franchises or other methods satisfactory to all. It is believed that the clubs having lost money readily enter upon an anangeiuent. The conference committee will go to Chicago, Bos ton and other large cities and make efforts to arrange a much better circuit than last year. Washington wants to come in. Manager Chap man, who left for Brooklyn to-day. said just before leaving that lie expected to have a much better team for Louisville next vear. He is looking after several League and Brotherhood players. Allie 'Wilkes Sold for S3O,O0O. rfrrriAX. telsgkau to Till dispatch.! YODKGSTOwy. November 25.

I President Saji a Few Very Strong Words. This is what Colonel McAlpin says when he gets home to New York: "Why, there were persons connected with the Players' Lcaguo whom I would not asso ciate with. I considered them beneath me socially, morally, and, in fact, every way. They would stoop to any mean underhand scheme to gam a point Tor themselves. They thought of the Players' League only as a handle to fur ther their own interests and gain a dominat ing poner. I have commanded a regiment of 00 men and have presided over large political meetings, hnt never in all my experience was I ever snubbed as 1 was at that Pittsburg meeting. When I entered the meeting room nobody knew me. This delegate looked out of the window, that one stared at the ceiling, and so on all around. 1 ,f clt as If a keen-edged knife had pierced my heart. During the morn ing session 1 explained the stand of the New York club, stating that consolidation could be agreed on. but that there was nothing binding. "When I stated the position of the New Yoik club the delegates acted toward me as if tbey had a criminal on the stand. They would not believe my statements. When the preliminary business was over I banded in my resignation. 'You who are here present know whether I have doLe my work faithfully,' I said, lt is for jou to criticise. Bnt I want to say one thing. 1 am yonng in years, but I started out young, and in all mv life I never was snubbed as 1 have been here. You callMr. Talcott, Mr. Robinson and myself traitors. Whj are the ones that dare to call honest men by such a name? Why, there are some persons here who betrayed your trust, and 1 can tell j ou the New York people will not do business with any but honorable men. Gentlemen, I never give anybody a chance to give me the snub or stab me a second time.' I Has beoeecoed not to resign. 1 finally nominated Mr. Prince for the position. "After the morning session 1 found that Mr. Robinson had arrived from New York. 1 told him what 1 had done. 'Why, I signed certain papers just before I left New York,' he said. But they are not binding except under certain conditions.' At the afternoon session I had to explain this. To show how near being traitors tbe New York people were, I will say that had their proposition for each club to put up $50,000 to carry on the fight been accepted the Plajers' League would be alive to-day and have the Na tional League at Its mercy." GODFREY DEFEATS SMITH. The Colored Pugilist Settles the Denver lleavy-IVcight in 23 Rounds. New-Yobk, If ovembcr 25. The glove fight between George Godfrey, the colored fighter of Providence, R. L. and Ed Smith, of Denver, took place to-night on the stage of Cronheim's Tneater, Hoboken, and resulted in a victory for Godfrey. The fight was under the auspices ot the Puritan Athletic Club, of Long Island City, and was witnessed by about 800 persons, in cluding delegations from Denver, Providence and Boston. Jere Dunn acted as referee and held the 2,000 purse given by the club. Ex Umpire John Kelly was timekeeper. The fight was set for 9 o'clock and the men made their appearance at 90. Godfrey was seconded by Frank Steel, the Boston lightweight, ana Jim mie Campbell. William Muldoon,the wrestler, and Jack Ashton, tbe heav3--weight, who was recently defeated by Godfrey, looked after Smith's interests. The gloves were weighed and the men got down to business at SCO. From the start it was seen that Smith was overmatched, Godfrey punishing him at will. Smith, however, made a game tight and several times resumed his worK after he was apparently done for. The ficht continued with Godfrey gaining ad vantages in nearly every round until twenty two rounds were fought. In the twenty-third round Godfrey started in to finish his man and landed a heavy right-hander on Smith's ear. Smith staggered to his corner and nearly fell, but made an effort to again put up his hands. Referee Dunn, however, stopped the fight tben and there, saying: "I am now able to decide the fight, Godfrey wins." Muldoon at once challenged Godfrey to fight Jake Kilraln. who was among tbe spectators, Godfrey made no ansn er to the proposition. The Western Association. ST. Paul, November 25. TbeWestern Asso ciation magnates have a scheme which tbey will spring as soon as the National League and American Association have selected their cities and the Flayers' League is officially de clared dead. Henry L. Hatch, owner of the Minneapolis team, says: "The Western Association will be the third great league of tbe country. It will be made up of Detroit, Toledo. IudianaDnhs, Milwau kee. St. Paul, Minneapolis Kansas' City and Omaha. Five of these cities are in the present Western Association, but they can get out ot it by resigning and forming the new league.''

BOGUS SEPARATION PAPERS ISSUED To a Wife, Who Marries again and Loses Both Husbands at Once. CHASE FOE A SHYSTER LAWTEE ISrXCUL TELEGRAM TO TBE DISrATCD.l New Yoek, November 25. Judge Truaz, of the Superior Court, heard on Monday some of the evidence on the appli cation of William Coppersmith, a jeweler ot Maiden Lane, for absolute divorce from his wife, Mary Helmer. August J. Fechter, the proprietor ot Stuyvesant Hall, was named as corespondent. Coppersmith is abont 35 years old, aud his wife, an attrac tive woman, is somewhat younger. They were married in 1877. Mrs. Coppersmith left her husband in May of last Vear and last spring he learned that she was living with Fechter. In May he applied for a divorce. The defendant did not appear on Monday and it was said that she wa3 ill. Fechter. however, appeared and was called to the witness stand. His answer to the first question, "Do yon know Mrs. Coppersmith?" astonished the court. "I did know Mrs. Coppersmith," be said, "bnt that is not her name now. She is my wife, Mrs. Fechter." "Do yon mean to say yon have married the woman?" "Certainly. We were married last March. She obtained a divorce from Mr. Copper smith in January." Judge Trunx took a hand in the examin ation at this point and demanded to Know what evidence the witness had had of a di vorce bavins been granted. "Why I have the decree at home," was the confident reply. Judge Trnax ordered the witness to produce the paper in conrt the next morn ing and adjourned the case. A. STKANOE DITOECE DOCUMENT. Fechter was on hand this morning with his caper, and a strange document it proved to be. It was entirely in manuscript and written upon an ordinary sheet of letter paper. In the upper left-hand corner were the words, "Supreme Court, Coot county." Iu the other corner was, "Mary Copper smith apt. AVilliam Coppersmith"." Then followed what purported to be a decree of divorce, containing more or less legal verbiage, bnt setting forth no canse for the granting of the decree. Below, in one cor ner, was an immense red seal stamped "Su preme Court," Written diagonally across the lower part of tbe pace was "a blind scrawl which might be interpreted as "W. W. Prall," or any other name resembling that, and the word "Jadge" in fine script appeared close to the lower margin. Nowhere in the document did the name of the State wherein the alleged divorce was granted appear; neither were there names of counsel upon it. Fechter handed the docu ment confidently to Jndge Trnax, and the Court examined it with amazement. "Don't you know that this is a fraud and not wortli the caper it is written out" said tbe Judge to Fechter. "No, I don't, I supposed it was all risht." replied the witness iu evident surprise. "Then am 1 not married to her after all?" "Certainly jou are not. Where did you get this paper?" PALPABLE EVIDENCE OF FKATJX. Fechter produced someletters, which he said Mrs. Coppersmith had received from time to time while tbe action was pending, from the at torney who represented her. They were written on paper with "Robert M. White. Attorney at Law, 145 Broadway, New York," printed at tbo top and signed by that name. They were notes, which were written in a period of a few weeks, and which described the progress ot her suit, until finally White wrote that a decree had been granted in her favor. Fechter said he knew nothing more about the matter, except that be understood that White had received 1150 for securing tbe divorce. -Do you know whether Mrs. Coppersmith went to Chicago last January, or whether she lived in Illinois any part of last year?" asked Judge Truax. "1 know that she did not. She was in rfew York all the time." was the reply. Judge Truax quickly filled out a subpoena and handed it to Lawyer Levy, Coppersmith's counsel, saying: "It is evident that a gross fraud has been perpetrated here. As an attor ney of this court I think it is your duty to help ferret it out. I wih jou would endeavor to serve this subpoena personally upon this alleged lawyer, and I'll snsnend the bearing of the case until your return." A CUASE FOP. WHITE. Mr. Levy accepted tbe commission and hastened in search of the man described, but failed to find him. At 115 Broadway, be learned that White no longer had an office there. The janitor said that a Robert M. White had nominally had an office in the build ing with a man named Grey, previous to last Mav. The janitor had seen but one man in tbe oflice and did not know whether that individual was Grey or White. He had the impression that White was Grey and Grey was White. He remembered that a great many women called on Grey or White, lie believed that White or Grey had moved to 53 Broadway. Mr. Levy went to the latter address and found upon the fourth floor a suite of rooms oacupied. as tbe names upon the outer door in dicated, by "Grey fc Co., iawyers and collection agents. Robert M. White, attorney." A middle-aged man, with beard streaked with gray, was in the inner oflice. Mr. Lew asked for Mr. White. "Mr. White is not in," said the man at the desk. "But i n't jour name White? 1 want to see Mr. White, my uncle." "2io; my name it Grey. Mr. White is out of town, and will not return until Wednesday or Thursday. What do you want to see him about?" "I'm inclined to believe that you are White," TAKING CHANCES ON GEET. "At all events. I'll take the chances of your being tbe man and serve on you this subpoena, which Judge Truax has just made out. He wishes you to come to court at once and ex plain your action in the Coppersmith divorce case. Hero is the legal fee." Mr. lfevy in sists, without confessing auy joke, that even if Grey is not White he turneil'whlte. Here covered himself, however, and protested strongly that White was another man and not a myth. He said that White was in Boston, and he produced a letter written upon a Parker House note head, in which the writer said he would be in New York ou Wednesday or Thursday. Mr. Levy replied that at all events Mr. Grey was associated with White, and should appear in court to look after his partner's interests and reputation, Mr. Grey finally said he would be in Judge Truax's court at noon. He failed to appear, however. Judge Truaz cranted Coppersmith an abso lute divorce. "Where do I come in ?" inquired tbe mnch-puzzled Fechter when this decision was announced. "Is she my wife now, or can 1 mj rry her over again ?" "She Is not j our wife and she cannot marry you." replied Judge Truax, and the discomfited German went out, shaking his head.

I had a cousin who was a printer and was employed in this city, where they were printing circu lars for Chamberlain. He had a deep-seated cold and a terrible cough, and while setting up the cony he made up his mind to buy a bottle. It cured his cough, and that was the first time I ever knew anything of Chamber lain's remedies. I have been strongly in their favor ever since.

Don't be afraid of fresh air, but avoid draughts. Don't go out of doors for a second without extra covering. In selecting your winter underclothing choose that which is warm and yet more or less open in texture. Take off your overcoat wnen you enter a warm place, whether office or private dwell ing, even if your visit is to last only three minutes. If you catch cold or develop a cough, get rid of it at once. This is better than feeling "blue" and thinking that pneumonia or con sumption has marked you as a victim. The best remedy for a cough or cold (how ever stubborn), or a sndden chill, is pure whiskey. A dose of whiskey in water will Im part a generons warmth to the whole body and keep on the diseases of the season. Don't forget that only pure whiskey should be taken. Duffy's Pure Malt whiskey has the strongest recommendations from the leading doctors as to its efficiency, and from the most prominent scientists as to its purity. It is tbe only standard medicinal whiskey.
