Jake BeeMej Expected to Sipn a Contract To-Day to Flay for $3,000 A'cxt Season. PALO ALTO LOWERS HIS EECORD. Meeting orhxal Football riajtrs fltneral t Sporting KewsoflheDav. .1. Palmer O'Neil is no longer President of the local ball club. He resisned that po sition at a meeting of the directors held at the Hotel Anderson yesterday afternoon. His .resignation was accepted, and H. B. Ilea,. Vice President, is now in charge. The action of Mr. O'Neil was somewhat ' unexpected, and caused quite a surprise in local baseball circles. Both before and after the meeting he stated that the best of feeling is existing among the directors, and that e erything is going smoothly along. "Why did you resign then?" was asked. "Well. I resigned entirely because of huines reasons. At present I have not the time at command to look after the club's affairs as they ought to be IIUKN' ATAITIirUL WORKER. "I ha e w orked faithfully and energetic ally for the cbib's interest, and on that score I retire without the least reproach of conscience. I will still remain a director of the club." While the uncompromising enemies of Ir. O'Xcil ill be glad at his resigning, -manv well-wishers ol the club will regret it He has had his faults as a President, but it is jut as true that there never was a busier man in the base ball business than Mr. O'Xcil. Men of less energy and activity than he could have moved along without causing as much hostile critici-m, but the bitter opposition that has been leveled at him has almost en tirely been the result of.bis working so hard'and playing such a prominent part in the baseball afiairs of the country. Mr. O'Xcil has done more in two years to adver tise Pittsburg as a baseball city than all his opponent-, put together. True the quality ot b.ill playing has not been good, but the local patronage of the team aud the national popularity of the team have been exceed ingly increased by Mi. O'Xeil's efforts. Thee arc tacts that should not be forgotten. It is also worthr of note that lie won for Pittsburg the celebrated contest for Bier baucr&Mack. A more important man in national baseball affairs cannot be Jound in Pittsburg to take his place. SOMETHING ABOUT Jl'GUXNIGLC. Manaser McGunnigle's actions were also discussed by the board. It was no secret that the directors were strouuly inclined to release Mr. McGunnigle at once, but more conservathe judgment prevailed, aud it was rcsoled to summon the manager to appear before the board as soon as possible. It is quite true that the manager's absence needs some explanation, anu he may be able to explain matters satisfactorily when he returns, if he does letiirn at all. .lake Beckley was also on hand and his case was discussed. Kiiorts were made to si:n him, but they failed It is expected that Director Kerr will sign him to-dav, as the matter ha- been left with Mr. itcrr Bccklcy has been offered an increase of ?200 on his salary ol last season. He liad 2,800 last -ea.suu, and the directors are willing to pay him S.J.000 for next season. Quite a comfortable, salary. Miller bar signed for $3 Ottfl. and Sliugart is to get $L,MK). When compared with these figures, Beckley has uothinc to complain about when lie is ofieietl 63,0011 Bat he argues that he has better offers from other clubs outside the Xaiional League. This may be true, but the question is: Can lie afford to jump his contract for a few extra dollars? The an swer to that question belongs to Beckley himself. WILL SUE PFZFFEE. The Chicago Club "Wilt Try and Hold Ilim t in His Contract. ClllOAOO. Oct. Ti. .SyxWaL There will probably b:.' another famous baseball law suit this winter, with the Chicago Club and rrstl I'lefler as the central fignres, in the Illinois courts. Under Clause 19 of the new National League contract, clubs claim to have a sure thing on the players they want. The important clause reads as follows: "It is hereby expressly understood and agreed for the consideration above men tioned that the party of the first part shall hate the option or right to renew this con tract, with all its terms, provisions and con ditions, for another period of seven months, beginning April 1, 1WH, and for a similar period in five successive years thereafter, and the said party of the second part hereby agrees to perform similar services and be Mibjcct to all the obligations, duties, and liabilities prescribed in this contract for the period or periods of such renewal or renew als, provided only that written notice of the exercise of such option of renewal be served upon the said part- ol the second part piior totheolst day of October of the current year of this contract and of the current year of each renewal thereof." The written notice mentioned was served on Pfeiler. The Chicago club has reserved him. and Anson and Hurt want him worse than k er, now that the American Associa tion has broken into Chicago. Pfeifer is popular, and it he could be tied up with an injunction the local association team would be crippled. An application for an injunction against I'fenvr playing with any except the Chicago Xational League team will probably be filed early, and another case similar to that against.lohn AVard will hold the attention of the baseball world for months. Already J'fcffcrand the men behind him a strong group have taken legal advice. The opin ion is that the option clause is defective, and upon it Pfeficr went ahead. He signed no contract because the Chicago League club has asrecd to pav him some 400 in monthly instalments till February,. 18!)J, although the sums are really hold-backs ironi hit salary for the season of 18'JL Will Slide to New York. WATF.nBrKY, Oct. 27.

Aside from the regu lar practice of the 'Varsity and Freshmen football teams the Freshmen Class athletic games, postponed from last Wednesday, were run offi The cold weather made it a perfect day for football, and all of the nov ices were given a chance to show their skill. Walter Camp, Heflelfinger, Bull and Cap tain McClung coached the 'Varsity players, Bayne looked after the interests of the col lege side. The result of the afternoon's work was one touch down for each side. Some idea of the probable composition of Yale's team can be formed from the tact that Spaulding has been ordered to provide suits for the following men: Hartwell, Crosby, Winter, Messier, Mills, Wallis, Stillman, Heflelfinger, Morrison, Snnford, Ilinckv, Gochran, Harbour, Dwyer, Xorton, C.

The over throw of Stagg's strong team on Weston Field last Saturday was a revelation to many of the strength of the Williams eleven. But the team is now in hardly such excellent condition as most persons think, because of injuries sustained by some of the strongest men. Garfield, who did such brilliant work in "bucking the tiger," was rather seriously hurt, and not able to prac tice to-day. This puts the two Garfields on the shelf. Sawtelle, the big guard, who is one of the most reliable men on the line and indispensable in his position, was also unable to take part in the practice game to day: With these men absent the team is considerably w eakened, Garfield being the only man who can work well in the backs with Street With matters as they are, some apprehension is expressed regarding the result of the game with Stevens next Saturday.

Palo Alto, the old hero of the Stanford stables, bet his record to-day, trotting a mile in 2:10 flat. He made the quarters in 32, Sl, 33and33i. It was a game race against Father Time from start to finish, and the old campaiener did not make a skip in the entire mile. When he went to tin quarter in 32 seconds horsemen said the pace was too fast, and when he reached the half in 1:03 they said he could not keep his feet, but Palo Alto was out to-day to beat all his efforts, and went at this surprising gait throughout the mile without even a touch of Marvin's whip. Expert horsemen contend that Palo Alto will beat the world's stallion record of 2:0! held by Allerton. They expect to send him again in a few days on this track, if the weather holds good.

Feter Maher, the Irish Champion, Eager for the Bis Californlan. Nnw York, Oct. 27. Special Peter Maher, the Irish champion, who knocked out Jim Daly in Philadelphia on Saturday night without much trouble, is anxious now to get on a match with some of the stars. He arrived in this city 'last night, accom panied by Billy Madden. Madden went to the newspaper office where Jim Corbett has a deposit of $1,000 to fight any heavy-weight in the world. Madden made known his business. The money was not accepted, the reason given being that it was after banking hours and it could not be placed in the safe, as the cashier had gone home. Madden said: "It's just this way. After Maher knocked Daly out Corbett intimated that he would like to have a chance at Peter, just to convince the public that he was his master. I approached Corbett and asked him if it was true that he wanted a go with Peter. He shook his head and laughed, aud hinted as much as if Peter wasn't in his class. I couldn't get any direct reply from him, so I came over here to cover his deposit to show him that I mean business. This talk of his about Peter not being in his class is all nonsense. If he can whip my man as easily as he imagines he can, why he can enrich himself to the extent oti5,000,and that's not to be picked up everyday." JlcVnllffo nnd CardifOIatched. Sax Francisco, Oct. 27. The San Francisco Athletic Club has matched Joe McAuliffe and Patsy Cardiff to fight to a finish in December. General Sporting Notes. There is a letter hero for "Iteddy" Mason. Hamilton is the first small man who ever led tne League in batting. Brown and Delehanty have signed with Philadelphia for next season. George Borchers, tho old Chicago pitcher, has signed with Oakland, Cal. It is aid that Hush Penny will be the Santa Anita stable's lightweight jocKeynext season.' A reader. Your question has not reached us; besides it is evidently not for this de partment. The note in this department yesterday re garding "Grant street runners1' had no ref erence at all to Malaiky. Some very good work has been done in connection with the local club during the last lew days, but there is still a lot to do yet. Chicago is overran with minor leagne " players. The Western will have no trouble getting players next season at its own terms. Ax offer or $25,000 was made for the 2-year-old trotter Avion, 2:11, which, it is said, Dan McCarthy supplemented with $30,000. Sen ator Stanford, uU owner, refused to enter tain any bid. Vox der Ahk claims that nutchison will play with Proffer's .club. The elaim has no foundation, speaking of the matter the other day Hutchison said: "When fgetsol can't play with Anson I'll get out ot the bus iness." ItCMORS come from the West abonta 2-year-old pacer by Electioneer, and bred at Palo Alto, which is faster than anything in the side-to-side line ever foaled. Senator Stan ford, however, will have no Electioneer pacer trained. Ax effort is being made to induce C. W. Williams to take the champion stallion Al lerton to the Pacific coast to meet the two finest stallions west of the Kockies, StJm uoul and Palo Alto, in a race lor a stake of $20,000 or thereabouts. Jocket J. Porter rides no moro for W. It. Letcher. Perkinson will succeed him. Por ter has been encased to ride for the new stable or Charles Fleischman, of Cincinnati. Scott Williams will bo its trainer. Yester day a yearling brother to Huntress was added to the Fleischman string. Thkre is a little inner row among tho Bos ton Association stockholders, and out of it came tho failure to pay Aaron Stern's $4,000 note, due October L. It seems that "General" Arthur Dixwell and John C. Haines did not care to hear their share of the note, so Julian Hart nnd C. A. Prince refused to settle, with the knowledge that a suit would compel Dixwell and Haines to pay their share of the note, which they indorsed. BLOWN UP AND BTJBNED.

Jersey City, Oct. 27. A new and most remarkable feature in the case of Charles B. Stoddard, now in jail for swindling by means of forged checks on various persons in the city, has just come to light. A little less than two years ago Stoddard, then masquerading under the name of Henry B. Davis, was convicted of similar offences in Nashville and was sent to prison for six years. He was put to work in the mines. This year, however, he obtained his freedom by a bold and ingenious ruse. The discovery of this fraud has led Governor Buchanan, of Tennessee, to make p. requisi tion on Governor Abbett, of New Jersey. Governor Buchanan a few months ago re ceived a petition purporting to be signed by 50 of the leading residents of Covington, asking for Stoddard's release, accompanied by a letter presumably signed by M. W. Babtist, of the firm of Babtist & Beadle, well-known attorneys of that place. The letter, which was forged, as well as the signatures, weaves a story of romance about Stoddard, or Davis, and recites in detail how he was the victim of a conspiracy planned nnd engineered by a wicked and avaricious stepfather, and abetted by the latter's wicked brother. The Governor not only set him at libertVj but provided him with money and a suit of clothers. The fraud was only discovered when the Gov ernor spoke to one of the supposed sigue-3 of the petition. He denounced. the whole thine as a fraud, as investigation subse quently proved it to be. Stoddard's trial will take place in a few days, and under the laws of New Jersey he can be sent, to prison, for ten years. Ater that he can be sent to Tennessee, but not betore. LEVYING ON HITMAN BONES. Sheriff's Officers in .New York Engased In an Uncanny Search. New York, Oct. 27. The Sheriff to-day went on a hunt for a lot of skeletons under a writ of replevin-for about 53,000, which the National Bank of Deposit of New York obtained against Sardy, Coles & Co., who failed a few weeks ago. The bank claims a lien on the property for advances made. After a long search", the Sheriff's officers discovered in Maiden Lane four entire articulated skeletons, eight skulls, innumerable bones and other por tions of anatomy, which they were very chary in handling. The replevin calls for more skeletons, but they have not yet been found. The Honest Sportsman's Can. OutlnR. I would advise-no man to use a gun larger than a ten gauge, and honestly believe that it would be better were the "shoulder can nons," such-as four gauges, not manufact ured, and the same also might be said of re peating magazine shotguns. The ordinary sizes, ten and twelves, are already too dead ly in practiced hands for the welfare of our diminishing supply of game. Neither is it good sport to take tdo great advantage of opportunities. Two barrels and a killing power, say as far as 60 yards, should be enough to satisfy an honest sportsman.
