Ecsnlfs of the Trotting Frrnts at LtTJnjrton General
Sporting Kcws ef the Day.
It is a very long time since there was
such an exciting football game in or about
Pittsburg as that of yesterday at Recreation
Park. The contest was between the Pitts
burg team and the Homesteads, both of the
Association League, and it v.as a champion
ship game. There were about 600 people
present, and the best kind of Association
football was seen.
The home players were beaten, although
they played with great skill and remarkable
pluck. Hut there were two elements, and
Tery important ones, that contributed al
most entirely to the home defeat. One was
the fact of the Homestead team being much
stroncer than they were when they played
a tie with the McKccsnorts on the lOlh, and
the other cause was the fact that the home
team had three of their best players absent.
Tliis was
A VERY rOOLISI TltlXQ
on the part of the Pittsburg, particularly
when they had such a strong lot as -the
Homesteads to tackle. It was an experiment
and it was a bad one The I'ittsburgs will
need all the cames thev can get to in the
pennant, and at all times they should hare
their strongest team on the field. The um
pires were: For Pittsburg Harry Penn, and
for Homestead J. Fereuson. Fred Goodwvn
was referee nnd he did extremely well, riot
one of liis decisions being complained of.

GOALS WERK SCARCE.
In the first half goals were very hard to
get, indeed. A short time before "the half
finished tho visitors made a splendid goal
amid applause, nnd the half ended 1 to 0 in
favor of the Homesteads.
The second half had not proceeded far be
fore the Pittsburgers scored by Wardle send
ing the ball beautifully ppst the Homestead
goal keeper. The home players then braced
tip, and pl.ijed as it thev were going to eat
the vi-itois up. They continually
had the ball close to their
opponent-,- sronl. and somo of
the mot remarkable kicks were mndo to
srore, nut iips. who bad charge of the
Homestead oal. -nas determined that noth
inc more slioulu pas luni. He plajcd bril
liantly and stopped -nmc of the most skill
ful kicks scn in Pittsburg. It was, without
doubt, his piaving at this state tnnt jrained
the day for Homestead. The Pittsburgers
tried and tried until thev w ere i can-, and
they could not act tbe In'll past Isles.
The home players then somewhat -weakened
and tin- visitors ithout much trouble
pot the ball to the IVtlmr.r end. In a short
time two moregoa's weie recorded imfavor
of Homestead, and when time was called
the scoie stood Homestead, 3: Pittsburg, 1.

scoreofGtoO at Beaver Falls. The game
was hotly contested, and was won by tho

around work. The only touchdown was

a fine run by Gill. A kick for goal by Griggs
brought the score, to 6.
The play of Griggs at halfback, and the
kicking of Steel was very good. For

C-tMr.RtDQE, Oct. 17. Special. The most
important game or the season so far was
played thisaltcrnoon between Harvard and
Williams, and the former won by a score of
onlv2fito(i. The game was impoitant, be
cause last week Yale bent Williams 41 to 0,
and compar.-ions arc always significant. In
thi- case they were odions for Harvard.
Captain McClnrg, of the lnle eleven, who
was :i spectator of the game, smiled in his
sleeve a he snw the weaknes- of the Har
vard center, and the succc-isful working by
Williams of her little "criss-cross" tricks. It
wue the most terribly severe game that has
been seen on Jerri field this season.
Three men u ere disqualified lor slugging,
a.id the Williams men especially-took every
opportunity of shotting their"spite by hit
ting and loul tackling.
Lots of .Slugging.

IN YEBY BAD TOEM.
Tale's Football Team Sadly Oat of Condi
tion for tlio Approaching Contests.
New Haven, Oct. 17. Special. Tho Yale
football team has had a fullmontli'spractlce
and are now at a standstill. With accidents
to Captain McClung and his side partner
Bliss, Heffleflnger's indisposition, and Mills'
sprained ankle, little advancement nas been
made dating tho past ten days.
Tho excellent work dono early In the sea
son has faded into almost nothing, and it is
doubtful if tho university team could to-day
make a better showing against the fresh
man eleven than it did against Stagg's team
last Wednesday. In that game Van Leuren
showed remarkable power, and many a Yalo
man.wished that he could in some way And
a place on Tale's eleven. The team is also
in an unsettled condition. Stanford Mor
rison's failure to appearand take hisplaco
in tho rush line has kept the position of
right guard a doubtful quantity and the
men. including Beard, who havo done good
work, have simply played with the idea
that on Morrison's return to college they
would bo returned to tho ranks, which
means the privilege to plav on the "collejie
side" and endure the brunt of hard work
forced on the Varsitv." There has been no
regular coaching, except that done byMc
Clung, until Bull arrived on Thursday.
He will give his nttontion to the tenm for
a time, and after that it is expected that
Kay Tompkins, Willis Terrv and Emrone
Itichards will assist in putting tbe elcveu
into shape.
Xothing has been dono regarding the
Yale-Harvard game. Yale will not issue any
challenge because, as Bavne McClung's
room-mate says: "It would prejudice her
dignity.
WON'T PLAY PEINCETOK.
The Harvard Team Think Tliey Have Plenty
to Meet Without Meeting the Tigers.
Cavbiiidoj, Mass., Oct. 17. Special The
daily practice of Harvard football candi
dates is showing two or three tnings which
has been somewhat appaient from the start.
They are that the eleven isoing to bo
strong buck of the rush line, in fact very
strong, but wofnlly weak In tho center of tho
center of the line. To-day the team showed
better football in the game against Williams
than it had Oeen capable of until now. Tho
raw material which had only been used in
the rough until this week is now being put
through a course of sprouts, which is de
veloping the men into somo sort of players.
Captain Trafford has SO men at the training
table.
Much is being said and written about the
probability of Harvard and Princeton nlay-
ing a game this loll. The -feeling here is that
for Harvard men the jtame-with Yale is tbo
great oientot the year. They do not be
lieve in playing Princeton before they play
Yalc, and running the risk of losing valuable
men by injury. Thev do not think that
atter Thanksgiving Day. when Yale and
Princeton play, it will be possible to ar
range a game, and the season will be too
lato if extended to that date at any rate.
Though no final arrangements havo as yet
been made for the Harvard and Yale came,
it is among the students considered as an
assured tact that it will bo played at Spring
field: on November 21. There has been somo
talk about its being played in New York,
but such an arrangement will never be
made, unless Yale agrees one year to play
it in Cambridge, and in the off year to play
it in Sen- Haven or Xew York, as Yale may
wish.
A CRUSHING DEFEAT.
The t'rlnceton Reserves Very Easily Down
the Media College Team.
PRiitcrroir, Oct. 17. Special. The Media
Academy football team suffered a crushing
defeat to-day at the hands of the Princeton
reserves. The game was played on the
Princeton grounds. It consisted of two 30
minute halves. In the first half Media
started with the V. Media was unable to
gain and Horsoll kicked to Curraii. Afler
several good rushes occupying ten minutes,
Duscnbury made the first touch-down and
Curran kicked the goal. The next touch
down was made by ham Small. Sleredith
and Dusenbnry followed with a touch-down
in quick succession and Curi-.m kicked both
goals. Score, Princeton, 22; Media, 0. Media
started off with a rush. Hon-eli, their crack
halt-back, made a phenomenal run, bring
ing the ball up to Princeton's 20-yard and
Johnston kicked a goal from the field. Time
of the first half was called -vith five points
to Media's credit.
After 15 minutes rest the game was re
sumed. Curran made a splendid dash
through Media's center for ten yards. The
cntiro team played with snap, and tho
touch-do ns rnme in one, two, three order.
When timo was called tho scoie stood:
Princeton, 53; Media, 5.
HABVAED AHD YA1E.
Final Arrangements for Their Great Game
to Ho Made This Week.
Cambridge, Oct. 17 Special Two of tho
most talked about young men in the country
just now will meet in solemn conference at
Springfield next Tuesday. They are Captain
Trafford, of tho Harvard football eleven, and
Captain McClung, of Yale's eleven. Although
it has been taken for granted that Harvard
and Yale would, of course, day a game this
falland it was as generally expected that
the game would be played Xovember 21,
still, until to-day not a word had passed be
tween the football managements of the two
colleges in reference to a game.
To-dav Captain Trafford received this tel
egram from Captain McClung: "When and
w hero can you meet me to consult regarding
a football gamo between Harvard and
1 ale?" Captain Trafford immediately tele
graphed this answer: -"I will meet you at
Sprinzflcld next Tuesday." Harvard con
siders this equivalent to a challenge and the
ncgotiations'willbe successfully carried out.
There is no doubt that the game will bo
played at Springfield five weeks from to-day.
Pennsj I vanl.t College "Wins.
Gettysburg, Oct. 17. Secial.-Tiie Penn

"I am bid $100,000," was tho triumphant cry.

"It is the most sporty bid tho world has ever
known. It has stopped you all" cried Mr.
Eastom. There was dead silence in the
vast assemblage. The bids were stopped
and the king of stallions was knocked down

A VERY BAD DEFEAT.
The Local League Sluggers Slop Up the
Diamond With the Gyms.
There was quite a good crowd at Exposi
tion Park yesterday afternoon to seo the
last ball game of tho season there. The
cranks, for such were the audience-, saw the
Gyms fairly pulverized, and doubtless the
county champions would Jeav.a .the. field,
thoroughly convinced that they are not
National League class yet. Their defeat was
a bad one.
Will Gumbest pitched the first six innings
for tho Kast Enders, and Thompson pitched
the balance. For three innings G umber t
did exceedingly well, not a run being made
by his opponents. In the fourth they some
what measured him, and his support was
bad. The fifth inning came, and he was
knocked out of sight almost, llnnlon led off
with a single, nnd then Blorbauor and Shu-,
gart were retired. Miller came with a single
to center, and Steen allowed tho ball to get
past him, and both llnnlon nnd Miller
scored. Hitting and errors netted four
molts runs in the. inning. In the sixth throe
more runs wore made, and then Thompson
went in to pitch. Thompson was thumped
hard, and he gavo seven bases on balls.
The Pittsburgers played very well, and
Maul was certainly ton much for the Gyms. ,
Ad Gumbcrt played second for the Gyms,
and did tolerably well. He made a Jlno
home run. The score:

LATHAM HAS SIGNED.
He Will Play With the Reds Next Year
Mnllane in Donbt.
CixcixifATi, Oct. 17. Special. One Red
Leg lias signed for "92, and that one is W.
Arlington Latham. All tho players save
Count Mullane were at tho Gibson Houso
House lat night talking over the situation.
When the League lost tho great fight for the
establishment of the legality of the rcservo
rule the way was Jud'cially pointed out
which -would cover the fatal defect. The
contracts which Xationnl League players
signed this year gave their old clubs legal
options on their services for 18D2, provided
notice was duly given them on or before the
31st of October, 1S91. Such notice has been
served on all the Reds save "the connt."and
he avoided the Gibson last night. Heun
doubtedly has offers from Association clubs
in his pocket. Tne Athletics are after "Bug"
Hollid.ty, and Billy Rhines has also been ap
proached. The latter is not anxious to get
into Association company, and he pressed
irrcsHicnt jsrusn to answer one question,
viz.: "If I sign with vou is it to nlav in tho
League or the Association?"
He was assured that it was League, and
then he significantly observed: "I want to
stay in first-class company."
G col-go Smith did not sign, but he said:
"My word is as" good as my signature. I
like Cincinnati and you can count on my re
turn.'' There are very few. of the Beds despite
their hesitation who desire to Icive the
League for the Association. Julian B. Hart,
whoso name was on the dishonored papor
returned from Boston, hns entered the lists
for some of the Beds, but it will tako more
than promissory notes to catch any of them.
If Boston is in euch straits that it is com
pelled to attemDt'to renndinte the big debts
there may come a time.when its minor obli-j
gutinns win uo waveu asiue.

IN COPPER KETTLES.
The Cause "of the .Poisoning of W. C.
T. U. Delegates Explained. ,
SALOONKEEPERS NOT TO BLAME.
A Purelj Bnsiness Meeting Only Is the
First Kay's Session.
MIKOR KEWS FROM THE THREE STATES
tf jecial telegram to thr dupatcit.i
Bradford, Oct. 17. Though the ex
citement following the poisoning of fully 80
lady delegates to the'-State Convention of
the "jV". C. T. II. has somewhat died out the
mysterious affair is still the topic here and
will be for some time. Spme of the dele
gates were taken down immediately after
dinner, but not until i o'clock were the full
effects of the poison manifest Physicians
say the symptoms were all those peculiar to
poisoning. t '
The theory' of some of the most severely
stricken delegates, that the food had been
poisoned or tho air of the church impreg
nated with gas by liquor dealers or other op
ponents of the temperance cause, was ex
filodcd to-day. Physicians wero of the opin
on they hnd been poisonod bv somo deadly
stuff or powder sprinkled on the grapes, but
this theory was also proven incorrect, when
investigation to-dav showed the people had
been poisoned by food improperly cooked in
copper kettles.
Ail those stated yesterday ns being dan
gerously ill are now out of danger. Sliss
Jennie Bracken, of Allegheny, State Secre
tary, was one of the most seriously ill and is
yet unabio to leave her room. Mrs. Ada
Cable, who was supposed to have been fa
tally affected, and Mrs. Holvey, ofl'ittston,
began recovering early this morning.
To-night the large church is packed. Rev.
Anna Shaw delivered an address, in which
she outlined tho policy of the organization
and demonstrated that the W. C. T. U. is
one of the mot successful reform societies
ever organized. To-morro all tho pulpits
of the city will be supplied with lady ex
horters from among the delegates.
There was a largo attendance at to-day's
session. Most of the delegates who were
taken ill yesterday have sufficiently recov
ered to b8 again in attendance. Tho ses
sions were of puiely a business nature.
Mrs. Jones announced that sho had a letter
from Mrs. Washburn, the catercss, which
she thought would clear up the mystery of
the sudden illness of the delegates yesrer-
uay. ine communication stateutnai a por
tion of the picsscd chicken served at dinner
yesterday had been boiled in a boiler having
a now copper bottom. It was decided by
resolution that the ladies would take dinner
with Mrs. Washburn to-day, thus exonerat
ing her from any blame.
Changes in the constitution were con
sidered; the first amendment proposed that
the basis of representation be reduced, al
lowing one delegate lor every 75 mombers,
but was lost. The next amendment was
carried. It was to tho effect that the words
"informal ballot" by struck from Article
XI., and made to read, "The officers shall be
elected by ballot,' etc.
Tho report of the State Headouarters was
received. There aro at the present time 17,
000 members in tho State, which allows for
30J tdelegates in the convention. Of this
number 280 are present.
Mrs. F. J. Tlftver Slinprtnfenrtenf of t he
department to secure the use of unfer
mented wine at the Lord's table, read her
annual report. She reported that Cameron,
Elk and Franklin counties had taken up tho
work during the past year. Keportsnave

remain only eight counties to be heard

Mr. Decker States How He Suffered Twen
ty Tears From Catarrh of tho Head,
Throat and Stomach and "Was Finally
Believed.
"Lots of physicians told me, during the
time I suffered from n disease of which 1 am
now practically cured, that I never would
be cared of if; that it was an Incurable dis
ease. I had been afflicted for-20 years.
Mr. John T. Decker, Wellington' and Picnic Sts.
"I, am 41 yeaip of age," continued Mr.
Decker, who is n carpenter and contractor
living at the corner of Wellington and Pic
nic streets, "and ever since I was 21 I have
been afflicted with catarrh of the head,
'throat and stomach, and have doctored a
great deal for it with doctors and taken all
kinds of patent medicines, but never secured
anything but temporary rcliof until I ap
plied to Drs. Copeland and Hall.
The pains in my head and over my
eyes were nearly continual; the mucus
would gather in my throat, and I
would have an awful cough, especially in
the mornings, trying to clear it out: my
head and nose were continually stopped up,
and my throat dry and sore; my sense ot
smell was almost destroyed, and my hearing
nearly pone: my head was full of strange
noises; the discharge from mynose constant
nnd most disagreeable, and the disease so at
tacked mv stomach as to make my
appetite fitful, and when I ate heart
ily my stomach would distress me.
I was dizzy and nervous, and my sleep was
broken and restless doing mo no good and
I always had a tired, mopy -feeling.
"I called upon Drs. Copeland nnd nail and.
after consultation, placedmysclf on dor their
care. The medicines they gave me seemed
to go direet to tho seat of my disease. I
never expected the benefits these gentle
men have given me. My head is clear and
sound: my throat free from pain; my hear
ing greatly improved; I eat well, sleep well,
and am gaining rapidly In flesh and
strength."
Mr. John Gill, 6261 Penn avenue, Pittsburg
"I, after a course of treatment with Drs.
Copeland and Hall, am to-day cured of all
my catarrhal troubles."

Under Treatment, nnd Is Also Cared.
"Vou see, Drs. Copeland and Hall had
cured my son. Frank Ilcnncmann, of a bad
case of catarrh over a year ago, and he
stayed cured. Frank is a brass molder by
trade, and his work Is especially bad on this
disease, and I hadn't much confidence in his
gettinc cured. Bnt they cured him. Then I
thought maybe it wouldn't last, bnt that is a
year ago, and Frank is well to-day." The
speaker was Mr. James Hennemann, en
gineer, who lives at 135 Liberty street, Alle
gheny. "I had been suffering tor six years with
a similar disease; always cold in my head
anu my nose stoppea

my eyes so weak and

a disagreeable cough,

"A dry, hacklnc cough set in. I conld feel
the matter constantly dropping back into
my throat, which kept me hawking and rais

that I could not speak
above a whisper. Sharp

would causo me a miserable feeling of nausea
and distress theTe. It grew constantly
worse. I had been reading tbe nnmerous
statements of patients who had been cured
by Dr. Copeland's methods, and resolved,
that I would try him."
Mr. Hennemann's resolution was carried
into effect, with what good results both
father and son testify. He improved in tha
first few weeks, but, though he felt well, tbe
physicians advised him to continuo until
every trace of the trouble was eradicated.
If he hadstopped treatment then the trouble
would, in all probability, have come back;
upon him. As it was, he continued follow

and permanently cured. He concludes his
evidence:.

AFTER EFFECTS OF I,A GRIPPE.
A Word of Warning and a "Word of Conn
sel Tho Proper Time.
Before the winter with Us la grippe and
pneumonia comes on, those who are snbject
to the catarrhal conditions which excite and
provoke those disenses should see to it that
every traco of the disease is eradicated.
Thoso who suffered last winter from la
grippe for tho second or third time were in
variably the most serious sufferers. If many
of these people had last autumn thoroughly
removed from their systems the catarrhal
conditions in which the first attack of la
grippe left them, much suffering might
have, been avoided. It is a pressing duty
that devolves on every man, woman and
child who has been subject to this disorder
to see that the result, the catarrhal condi
tion that it leaves, is thoroughly cured,
while the conditions of climate are favor
able and a cure is possible.
Catarrh is often the condition that in the
first place invitesand causes LaGrippe. It is
the condition La Grippo leaves behind, in
viting fresh attacks, making, as it were, a
home for itself for next season.
This is the proper time to take special
treatment for La Grippe and itsnftcr-effects,
such as nasal catarrh, bronchitis, incipient
consumption and chronic coushs, as the
acute inflammatory sj-mDtoms have given
away long since to the sub-acuteandchrouio
forms.
