Interesting Contests Among the Association lgne Teams Games in the East There is always plenty of fun at a Kugby football game, and the large crowd who saw the teams of the Allegheny Athletic Asso ciation and Greensburg struggle against each other yesterday enjoyed themselves immensely The weather was excellent, it couldn't have been better for footl all had it been made to order. It was the first real Kugby of the season on the grounds of the three A's, and as a consequence nearly 1,000 were present, and excitement ran high from start to finish. Victory pcrrhed itself on the local ban ner, hut rot until the victors were convinced that hey had a ery nns-OLUTK AXD riCCKT TEAM in front of them. The victory might have been a little more decisive than it was, but the local tram on one or two occasions had luck acainst them, and besides thev did not play their game by any means. The truth is the second half of the contest was reached before the home players scored, and in the first half thev had, i"f anything, the worst ofh. The local talent gave evidence of lack of practice although, thev had a very good " team on the field, but if they expect to hold their own against the good teams scheduled to come here they must get into much bet ter form than they displayed yesterday. The visitors had not by any means the ap pearance of being the team the local fel lows are, hut they performed much more svstematically when it came to rushing. The local players behind the line were the ones who saved the day for Pittsburg, be cause the Grcensburgs were decidedly superior rushers to the home representa tives. It is not unreasonable to sav that the local rush line was very weak and time and time again the visitors broke through it. The brothers jrcClintock made their ap pearance with the three A's, and "Walter, who plaj ed right half back, performed very well indeed, although he committed what probably were two bad errors in the first half. But he redeemed himself admirably. Th Olivers, "Proctor and Valentine also J dared well. For the Greensburgs Guffy. leppenstall, Covard and Hensel did good work. TWO MEN KNOCKED OUT. In the second half Germer,left halfback for Pittsburg, was unable to continue and Proc tor took his place. The change proved to be a good one. Paul also replaced Schwartz as full hack. The latter and Germer both got knocked out in the first half. Eussell Forsyth was referee and Mr. Guffy, of Greensburg. umpire. These gentlemen per formed their duties fairly well, although the visitors sustained a continuous kick at the referee's decisions. The game consisted of two halves, 30 minutes each, with the usual rest bet cen. The teams lined up as follows: Pittsburq. Position. Greensbura W. JlcClintock .... I,. E Guffy ISrainard L. T Fiscus J. Oliver L. G Donahoo J. Moorliead C Co-liev O. D. Thompson IL G Heprenstall Albree. U.T. Jamison II.

B Iicnscl The visitors started off with the ball, and after about five minutes of lively skirmish ing, the Pitt'-biirgers got possession. A pood run by Germer gained ten yards, and then to JlcClintock with an" excellent chance to gtt awav with the ball and make a touchdown, dropped the ball. A VEKV BAD ERROR. This lost fully 20 yards The Pittsburgers rained again, but another fumble by W. McClintock lost 20 yards again. Skirmish ing and rushing characterized the game -jntil near the end of the first half, when the 1'ittsnurgs had the b-ill. Hcrorc it was in play one of the vikitors kicked it away and it was easily carried to the local goal by Guffy. lint "the play was called foul by the umpire. Neither side seored in the first lialf. In the second half the local players had the ball and started off vigorously. They commenced to play like winners. " Proctor made one or two excellent runs gaining ground considerably. One of his runs landed the ball close to the visitors goal line and then without much trouble the ball was passed to Valentine, who was rushed over the line with it and he made a touchdown. Tiic visitors objected, but the referee de clared it ali right. Ilrainanl failed to kick goal and only iour w ere scored. I'lsv had not proceeded much further be fore the ball was passed to Proctor, who by vigorous running and artful dodging, made a touchdown and Brainard kicked goal cleverly, sending the score np to 10. The contest finished without any more scoring, the final score standing the 3A's, 10; Greens burg, 0. Many of the players were tolera bly well bruised. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. A Lively Time Between the New Castle and Homestead Teams. The nomestead and New Castle Associa tion League football teams met at Home stead yesterday to play a championship game and they had a very li ely time of it. As a result tho contest ended in a protest being lodged bj the Xew Castle team. Mr. Stewart was referee and ho lacked firmness in his decisions to arreat extent. There was a large ci owd present and not a goal was scored in the first half. Both teams nlayed well and at times the struggle was extremely exciting. In the second half the Homesteads by excellent play scored a goal and a few minutes later the Xew Castle representa tives tied the score amid considerable ex citement. About ten minutes befoie time was up the home team sot the ball to coal once more, but "foul" was claimed b vtho Xeiv Castle captain. The latter, Mr. "Wood, claimed that the ball had been sent to goal by a Homestead plaj er's arm. Tho referee decided in favor of Homestead and a wrangle enr-ued. The crowd got on to the grounds, but the latter mere cleared and the referee ordered tho gnme to proceed. The Xew Cavtlc players argued it wkr too dark and tliey declined to piay. The Homestead team then kicked a goal and the contest ended according to the releiee's decision: Homestead, 3: Xew Castle. 1, with one of the Homestead goals protested. Easily Downed the Medicals. There w as an interesting Rugby football game nt Kecreation Park yesterday between the tennis of tho Western Unlveriity of 1'cnnsyU ania and the medical college. Tho contest was too onesided to be exciting, but at stages the play w as good. The Medic lis w ere beaten by the modest scoro of 51 to 0. There was a" good crowd present.

Cumnock, captain of last year's Harvard football team, which was the first crimson eleven to defeat Tale since lS76,arrived from Liverpool yesterday on the steamship Brit annic His father met him at theaockand together they went to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. A reporter met the famous end rusher there and learned that ho would go on to Boston this morning. He was entirely Ignor ant of the football outlook, but was soon put in touch with all the facts, for shortly afterSo'clnckPerrv Trafford, "the man who did up Heffelflnger," put In an appearance. The conversation turned at once, of course, to the "subject of football. Trafford Is a brother of Bernie Trafford, captain of this year's Harvard eleven, so he nad all the news.

It was thought that he would stay over in NewYqrk adav to see Yale play Orange this afternoon, but lie says he is going right home on tho first train this morning. EASY FOB THE HAEVAHDS. They Hate Something Like a "Walkover Against the Amherst Team Cambridge, Oct. 21. Special "A good game all the way through," was the general verdict of the crow d w ho gathered on Jarvis field this afternoon and saw Harvard defeat Amherst S3 to 0 in two half hour halves. There was no slugging of any description and In this respect tho game was a great contrast to the contest of a week ago with Williams. As a whole the work of the Harvard 11 showed much impi ovement, al though it was by no means the strongest team that they could put, ns neither H&llowell, Vail nor Ilantoul played. The tackling of the Harvnrd men notably ot Mason, Fearing and Xowell was especially good and the half back woikof Lake and Gray was admirable. The work of the center men was fair, but only fair. At the end of the first half the score stood 16 to 0 In Harvard's favor. Tho second half was simply a walkover forllnrvardandcon sisted principally in a little preliminary skirmishing between the two linos and then long rushes by Lake, touchdown by the same redoubtable halfback and coals bv Trafford. Score 39 to 0 in favor of Harvard. THE PrnSBTTRGEBS BEATEN. They Drop a Well-Flayed Game to the Team ot McKeesport. The Pittsburg Association football team went to McKeesport j esterday to tackle the McKecsportcrs in a phampionship game. They were beaten by a score ofl to 1, but the contest was a good one. The Pittsburg team had their best players on hand and fully expected to scoro a vic tory, although tho McKeesporters are quite a strong and clever lot of players. In tho first half both teams plaved with good judgment and considerable pluck. Mc Jveesoort was the first to score, but Pitts burg soon followed suit and tied the score. In the second half tho McKeesport team plaj ed with more skill than their opponents and soon had three goals added to their score, making a total of four. Tho Pittsburg plavers tried hard to stem the tide of defeat, O'Brien, Wardle and Chapman playing well. But luck was against the Pittsburgs, andal tlio'igh they had tho ball near to McKeoi ports' goal several times they conld not get it through. The game finally ended 1 to 1 In favor of McKeesport. GOOD FOB THE CRESCENTS. They Flay Well and Defeat tho Wesleyan College Team Easily. New York, Oct, 24. Special. About 1,500 persons gathered at Eastern Park. Brook lyn, this afternoon to -witness the football match between the Champions of the Amor can Football Union and "Wesleyan. The Crescents were out ns stronp.If not stronger, than on any previous occasion this season. The Wesleyan men fumbled very badly, and seemed rattlca when tho game began, so that in the first half the Crescents scored 20 points. In the second half Wesleyan put Ander son in as hair back in place of Pnrshley and therely improved their team wonderfully, scoring a goal and keeping the Crescent's down to 16 points. Anderson's work was tho best part or Weslean's game. Newton, nt right gnai d, also did fine work, and that bo as right in it all the time, was shown by his gory appearance at tho close of the en gagement. When time w-ns called the score stood 36 to 6 In favor of tho-Brooklyn team. IN GOOD F0BM. Tale's Team Fnt Up a Fine Game, Defeating the Orange Athletics. Xew York. Oct. 24. Yale lias good, new football material this fall, and she Is de veloping It rapidly. These facts were made plain at Orange Oval, N J., this morning, when Yale defeated the Orange Athletic Club's eleven by a score of 36 to 0. There were about 3.5C0 persons on the grounds to seethe sport. The most noticeable feature of Yale's play to-day was fine Interference. She worked tho ends well, in fact better than the lint, and played good football. Mc C ung did not plav. Conii'icring tho nnmber of comparatively new men on her team, Yale's play must have been satisfactory to the old Yale men, who watched it rrom the edge of the field. In the first half Yale ran up a score of 1G points by scoring four touch downs. Bncknell Won It. Suajiokis, Oct. 21. Special. Bucknell University defeated the Swarthmore Col lege football team to-day In an interesting game tiy the score of 32 to 12.

Special Le high was like the man who fell out of the balloon In the football game with the Uni versity of Pennsylvania to-day, they were not "in it." The visitors won by a score of 12 to 0. Lehigh fumbled badly, and the men were too light for the visitors' heavy rush line. Lehigh played in defense all through. Tile rushing, blocking and tackling of the University of Pennsvlvania win, superb, and the opinion here Is that Princeton will have a hard fight to win from them. Made Wjr,lams nappy. Williams-tows, .Oct. 21. Special. Will iams College is happier than she has been for a long time, having accomplished the feat of whipping Stagg's powerful football team to the tune of 16 to 6. This brightens Williams' outlook for tno championship, which has been none of the brightest. Tho victory is to bo accounted for by no weak ness in Stfagg's team, as they put up such a tricky, pluckv and powerful game as is rarely seen on Weston field. It Was Very Easy. " Pbiscetos, Ocr.24. Special The 'Varsity football team defeated the New York Athletic club team -to-day by a score of 2S to 0. A large crow d, including many of tho fair sex, witnessed the game. It was a tvpical day for football. That the New York men pliycda strong game is evident from the small score Princeton made against them. Princeton expected to i oil up about CO points. The first half Princeton played verv carelessly, but braced up toward the last. A Great Time Expected. Philadelphia, Cct. 1. Special All ar rangements for the Pennsylvania-Piinceton football team have been made and tickets go on sale on Monday. Five sections of tho grand stand have been reserved lor the "rooters" ofcachcollege. Pennsylvania has tho strongest team tho ever had, and should the reports of the crippled condition of Princeton's men be true the woarers of the red and blue should w in the game.

The runners were sent off to a good start, and Beatty was slightly in front for about 150 yards. Jones then went to the front, and after a" desperate race won by two feot. The crowd were all satisfied that Jones had won, and even Beatty thought he had lost. Strange to say the referee declared other wise, and a livol v scene followed. The stake holder declined to give up the monev, and as matters stand both parties are claiming the stakes. Begardlng sprinters it mar be well to let the public know that the vicinity is full of "ringers," and they are being manipulated by a party who has had years of experience in the business.

Miller, Shugart, Maul and Grant Briggs Sign Local Clnb Contracts. BECKLEY SAID TO BE ALL EIGHT. Prospects of More Good Players Being on the List Within a Feir Days. GENERAL SPORTING SEWS OF THE DAT Affairs in the local baseball club are now going along beautifully. President O'Keil and Secretary Scandrett were as busy yester day as the clerks in a booming land office, and it was easily seen that those directly interested in the club had come to a com mon understanding to have the best inter ests of the club looked after in a business like way, regardless of outside advice. As a result Miller, Shugart, Maul and Grant Briggs were signed, and the ropes laid for more signers to-morrow and Tuesday. Of course President O'Neil was just in his element hustling round getting the players into line, and he signed the quar tette named without any trouble at alL Al together it was pleasing to note what har mony can do among he directors. MILLEK GETS AN INCREASE. Miller declined to say what his salary for next year will be, but it is a fact that he is to receive an increase, and he got a check yestprday afternoon for a good slice of ad vance money. Shugart also received an in crease, and he, too, will get some advance money. Maul signed for the same salary, and he did not need any money in advance. Grant Briggs signed for a salary somewhat similar to that which Berger received last Beaton, uuu ue way receive suuue uuauuc money if he needs it, in two or three weeks' time. Beckley was not definitely heard from, but it was stated "by a gentleman who claimed to know whereof he spoke, that Jake intends to play in Pittsburg next sea son. But it probably would not have been bad policy if Secretary Scandrett had left the city yesterday to pay Jake a visit. It is a fact that agents from Association, clubs are using very strong inducements TO ALLXTBE JAKE FROM PrTTSBD3G, and this being so, it might not be amiss to even send Secretary Scandrett off to-mor- rcw post haste to find out definitely what the big first baseman intends to do. Efforts will be made this week to sign more players and Manager McGunnigle will likely be home in the early part of the week with the signatures of two or three new men. Until he returns certain players will not be signed, because until then it will not be clearly known what men he wants. There is a general desire that Hanlon be re tained on the team, and it is likely that he will be kept. Baldwin will sign without any trouble and the prospects of getting a good team together in a very short time are bet ter than they have been since the close of the championship season. The good work done and done so speedily and well only demonstrates the necessity of the directors moving together in unity. They all desire beyond all things to have a winning team here and the best way to eet them is to have confidence one in another and throw personalities to one side. DANNY DENIES IT. He Says That He Has Hot Signed With the New Torks. New York, Oct. 21 Special Several days ago Secretary X. E. Young, of tho National League, in his official bulletin announced tho promulgation of "Danny" Richardson's contract with the Now York club. Every body, of course, supposed that he had signed. But it seems that he has not. I met him yesterday and a more surprised person than he nt such news would have been difficult to find. "Why, I havo not put my name to a contract," he exclaimed. "lean not understand what it all moans. Last spring I signed n contract which gave tho club an option on my services for noxt sen son, providing we could agree on salary. That we havo done. "Whether we will or not is Impossible to say. I think my sorviccs are worth a certain amount, and if it Is not offered to me I shall not play here." This Is the first time that Secretary Younc has sent out the name of a player as having signed when in reality he has not. Another strange thins is the fact that he has an nounced that all the Chicago players havo signed. If what they say is true they have refused to sign. There is n mistake some where. The Grays Won.

A New Knclng Stable. New Yoek, Oct. 21. It is officially an- nounced that the name of Belmont isnotto disappear from tho racing world. It is ild that the eight brood mares which were bought at the recent sale by K. K. Alcock were bought for August- Belmont, Jr. iThe Babylon tnrm was also bonnht for Mr. Bel mont. Young Mr. Belmont will make the mares the nucleus of another nursery stud, which he hopes to make the equal of his father's. Thoro is a general belief that some of the yearlings purchased by James Rowo are. to be trained for and run in the name of Mr." Belmont, but this lacks confirmation. CAUSING BTJIN ALL BOUND. Mr. Williams Says That's the Besults of Stopping Pool and Deer Selling. Dcbcqite, Ia., Oot. 21. There is a bitter war at Independence and excitement runs high. After the August races nt the cele brated kite-shape trotting course, the Pro hibitionists of Independence roasted the Sheriff for allowing gambling, pool selling and the liquor selling to go on unmolested. Tho Sheriff resolved, not to get into the same trouble this year, and on Thursday w.ent out to Rush Park, where he stopped the wheel of fortune and pool selling. Mr. Williams, the owner of the race track, was indignant, yet could not help himself. Fri day the Sheriff started out to repeat his closing procoss, but a friend telegrapbed Williams that the Sheriff was coming, and tho plaoes were found closed. Williams was thoroughly aroused. He said when he built the track in Independ ence two-thirds of the stores were vacant. Now there is not nn empty building. If per secuted further In this matter he would plow throutrh his track, plant corn and move away." Business men aie also indig nant. They say thov have done a tremen dous business because' of the races. The horsemen, judges and others are leaving In- ueDenaenca on every train. Sherin nun is seizing all the beer which comes in sight, and pandemonium reigns supreme. There is no telling what the outcome will be. In dignation meetings are beine held, and busi ness men declare they will not submit to having the town thus handicapped. ON INDEPENDENCE TRACE.

( NEARLY THREE YEARS The Work or Dr. Copeland and His As sociates Has Ueen ISeforo This Com munity A Record That Occasions Jnst and Honest Pride. Three years ago Dr. Copeland and his as sociates came' to Pittsburg, regularly in dorsed by Bellevue Hospital Medical Col lese of NewYortand other eminent medical authorities, and practically sustained by their reputation Jot honest and skillful work In other large cities. They located at 66 Sixth avenue, wbero they havo been ever since, ana wnero tney expect to remain ror many years to come. Thcio Is no surer test of genubie merit and skill than this. Ad vertising will urlnjf patients, hut it won't keep them. Advertising will start practice, but it won't maintain it, year after year, in a community, i'ermanencealoneisthecertaln test of skill and honesty. By three years of cordial support and patronage, the people of Pittsburg have- testified to the skill and faithfulness of Dr. Copeland and his asso ciates. That their practice is to-day larger than it ever was before, their business and advertising in overy way more extensive, shows that success is built not upon adver tising, but upon the merit of their work as physicians and specialists. Bnt there have been other tests to their superior skill and professional honesty and sincerity. Every week during the three years that have passed there has appeared in the daily papers some new testimonials showing the results of their work. These statements have not been from obscure or unknown people, nor from people living in distanttownB and. cities. They havo been from men and wpmen of Pittsburg, all well known in the neighborhood in which they live, and most of them representative mem bers of some particular profession, trade or craft. There have been no "make-shifts." The interviews have been accompanied with portraits and addresses and in many cases the fac simile signatures of the patients speaking. The nnmber of patients testify ing to their superior skill and faithful con scientious work has been greater than in the history of medical practice in this city or State, ever in the snuie length of time, gave testimony In favor of any physician or firm of physicians. Nolcss'in.the'charaeterof the testimony, than.in tho number of the witnesses has the record of these; three years been unparal leled and,unequalcd. The witnesses nave, usha&been stated, 'been worthy members of the community. -IUistlie respectand es teem of good men and-women, that Drs. Copeland and Hnll have reason to feel prond of. It is.npon the.fnct that, by the thorough ness and skillfulness 'of their professional work, as well'as by the honesty and frank ness of their printed utterances, they have merited and enjoy the confidence of right thinking rqen.nnd women In the community that they congratulate themselves. "But have Drs.'Copeland and Uall cured all the patients who have applied to them?" someone asks. Certainly -not. No physician does. No honcst.pbysiclan pretends to. The major ity of cases taken by Drs. Copeland and Hall are unquestionably cured. The greater ma jority undoubtedly benefited. But there are cases that have not been cured,-in some instances ubl-uuso tne paticuo uiu not iui lo w the directions and treatment faithfully for the presbnbed length of time, in some instances because the contraction of fresh disease prevented hopes for progress, and in other-and perhaps more frequent instances, because the disease had been neglected and allowed to run on solong-before they came to thesa physicians that n cure was next to impossible. In curable cases, where patients follow faithfully and regularly their directions, and no contraction of -fresh disease inter feres with the progress of their treatment, they do. effect permanent and complete cures, as over a thousand witnesses, to whom they can refer In tho city of Pittsburg, will ingly testify. .. : t In a word, the test of the skill of Drs. Copeland and Hall Is their thrpo years of successful practice in this community, their unassailable tecoi'd in the public prints. and the overwhelming evidence hmong your friends and neighbors willing and volun tary witnesses that they enre what they profess to cure, thatthey are acknowledged masters over the diseases they treat. Their course in ther fnture will be the same as that they have pursued in the past. The same skillful and conscientious workrin offices and Inbomtorlesrtho sumo frankness and unatsallAblo truthfulness in printed ufteiances. Where public protection de mands it they will not hesitate to'denonnce fraud. They will never quibble or evade, bnt as they have done in the past, will state facts and let the public Judge. They may be pardoned for faying this much of themselves. It has not been said in a spirit of hoastfnlrtess, bnt of honest pride. They nre proud of the record of tne three years past, proud of the friendship and respect of, intelligent nnd worthy men and women, proud ot tho intelligence and worth represented in their practice, which we he lluva is to-day the largest over carried on in these t,wo citieB.and tliankfnl.very thankful, for the cord inland steadfast support thnt has been extended to them in this community. BY PERSONAL CARE Drs. Copeland and flail Obtain Their Notable Itcs'ults Dr. Copeland Himself Is, Has Been and Will Kemaih PER SONALLY, in Charge or His practice Here, v When tire tendency of tho catarrhal pro gress is evidently to tho cliest and lungs, and the backing cough; losi of flesh, pains in the chest, and failing strength give their nnmistakable evidence of a predisposition to consnmption.'the-patient should spare no pains and lose no time in arresting what is practical and imminent danger. With the coming on of a winter, which, ir the predic tions of the weather prophets are true, will be an unnsiiallysoyere one, the care of cases like these becomes of even more than usual importance. Catarrh and Consumption, which go hand in. hand, in this climate of ours, should be met at tnis season witu tne most laithful, persistent and skillful care. Continued evidence of tho results obtained by the skillful pcrsonnl care and attention of Dr. Copeland and Dr. Hnll may be no ticed in such cascS as'tbat given below by Mr. John Canauu. ' "I had been compelled to breathe through my mouth, alone, for the last year and a half because my head and nostrils wero so stopped np by disease that It was impossible to use my nostrils."

My general health wag much run down, and the nervous strain on. me told greatly. My sleep was broken and restless and appeared to afford me no rest, for I would be about as tired, or more so, in the morning when I awakened than when Iwenttobed. "I tried many remedies without relief, and a short time ago I decided to call on Drs. Copeland and Hall at CG Sixth avenue, Pitts burg. They treated me for catarrh of the head and stomach successfully. My head is clear for the llrst time in years; my appetite has come back witb.'reinforcernents, and my digestion is scmnd.

A short time ago, at tracted by the interviews published in the daily papers of cases, similar to mine, cared by Drs. Copeland and Hall, of 65 Sixth ave nue, I called upon these gentlemen.

The speaker was Mr. John T. Decker, con tractor, living at the corner of Wellington and Picnic streets. "I called unon Drs. Cope lanu ana nail," ne continued, "and placed myself under their care.
