ft 8 II FOOT BALL PRIZE, local Bngby Teams Will Be Offered a Valuable Silver Cup for a Series of Games. EIVALRY AMONG THE PLAYERS. Interesting Humors Afcont J. Palmer O'Xeil and the American Association Magnates. SOME KEVT BASEBA1L MOTEMENTS. Mutrie Cciifldent About His Sew Team Baseball Kcws of General Interest Probably there is more rivalry among football players in and about Pittsburg now than there ever was in the history of the city. "There are numerous teams within a short distance of each other, both Eugby and .Association. The teams of the latter class have a season's contest now going on by which it will be proven which is the best team, and it will be interesting to know that efforts are being made to get a valua ble silver cup to be held by the best IJugby aggregation in this i icinity. Jlr. Brainard, of the Three A's, stated yesterday that the cup will certainly be on hand shortly, and then local Rugby teams would have to face each other in order to prove what team is the best, and therefore should have the cup. A Very Good Idea. This method of competition was suggested byTKE Hi1-patch the other day, and it will be exceedingly interestins to all if it is carried out. At rp-ent wc have at least two local Rugby tennis who each claim first honors. These team-; are the liit End Gyms .ind the Three A's. The former, who are hustlers of the most hu-tling kind, em phatically contend that the Thiee A's won't play araint them for fear of defeat. The Three A's declare that they have no open date, and, therefore, cannot play the East Euders, and so the casestai'd. If the cap notion is rarripd out, the Three A's will be compelled to find a date c submit to the Gjms not onlv having the cup but the title of local champions. Un doubtedly the two teams are the two best licrcaboiits.but it is hard to tell which is the beitr of the two. A contest or two be tween tliei'i is :ieeeiary to determine this. Tn tome extent there will be opportunity given next Saturday to judge of the com parative merits of the two teams. The Three A's plav the team of the "Washington and Jefi"ron Colleue. Already the Gyms have met the VT. & .T. team and clearly demons'rated their ability To Defeat Them Very Easily. The public will see on Saturday what the Three A's will do with the kickers from Lit tle "Washington. Iteiore the season is out there will be same reallv good Rugby teams, but the best of them have only to m"et the Three A's. This is unfortunate if it is true that the Gyms area better team. There in another ieatuie cad one which a well-known local football player "-poke -well of yestcrdav. It is to have an all-l'ittsburj team to meet the bet teams thai come tothiscity. If the ques tion of superiority between the Three A's and the Gyms could b settled then somc thi::c could be done toward organizing an all-Pittibur' team. FOOTBALL RULES. An Kastcrn Authority Kxplalns Why Some Changes Slionld Ho Made. Discussing football rule? a writer in the "Sew York World says: The American game of football has now been reduced to a science. Every team of any nrstenliciis plays the general style of ramc "What is ueede i is n clear and con cise set of rules. The changes which are made from year tG year are welcome, but they come slowly. As they now stand the rnles are but pkeletons. Last fall they voted to make the ball dead after a try at the goal from a touchdown. This was a ensihie move, but there are many more tnrm.il and senseless strictions which should fee s'ricken out. Take. or instance, the rule which, by the vay, is onlv an iirplied rule, which forcesa man to hold the hall from the ground be fore a pluce kick for goal. "Why not let him put it on the ground and wriegle it around to suit the taste of the kicker, in stead of holding it on two fingers and let ling it drop just before the kick? It is only a formality which does no good to anybody. thcn'tr.cre is the rule or the punt out of bonnds, the kick nut afte- a touch-b-goal, the vagueness of the word "interference" v hen a plaver is trying to make a fair catch, and nianv others.

He sa:d that there was some friction,but that the trouble was all between Jlr. Doyle and himself. His relations with Mr. Bryne and the other gentlemen connected with the club were of the friendliest character. "What would bo the outcome of his trouble with Doyle it was impossible to say. He 'had no "doubt the Brooklyn team would play in the Leacue next season. Mr. Abell is of the opinion that unless baseball is soon put on a business basis the game will die out.

Palmer O'Neil Mas Been Asked to Join tlio A moclatlon What He Says A "bout It A. New Move at Sew York The League Meeting. A well defined rumor was circulated in local baseball circles last evening to the effect that the Association mag nates, or at least some of them, are making overtures toward getting ,T. Palmer O'Neil interested in the Ameri can Association. Mr. O'Neil was seen and spoken to regarding the matter, and, while he would not deny he had been approach ed, he stated that he did not intend to have anything more to do w ith baseball as soon as he was out of the National League. He was also shown the following special from New York to this paper: ''It is under stood here that New York will be taken into the Association, and that all the former Giants now signed with the American Asso ciation will play in the proposed New York's. Phelps.Yon der Ahe, Mutrie and J. Palmer O'Neil are said to be engineerine the move." lr. O'Neil, in reply, S3id he could not prevent people talking, and he insisted that at present lie has no intentions of going over to the Association, although his treat ment in Pittsburg has beep of the most un grateful aud meanest kind. Mr. O'Neil may not so to the New York meeting as one of "the directors, as he wired President Young yestcrdav asking if it were necessary for liimto go. If it is not necessary he will remain at hom;. "Without doubt, matters are now becoming exceedingly interesting between the Ameri can Association and the League, and those who have monev invested in the latter are actius verv foolishly in weakening their forces at present. "Whatever may have been the faults of Mr. O'Neil, nobody can deny that he was one of the best advocates the League ever had, and just such a man that is a tower of strength to a party at a time like the present. At a meeting of the local directors yester- r dav Messrs. A. K. Scandrett and Louis Brown were appointed to represent the club at the annual leagne meeting to-morrow. The sectlcmen will leave to-morrow evening and may be accompanied by A. G. Pratt. The meeting will be one of the most important that has been held for a long timjas the Leacue must take action of some kind to retaliate on the Association. Dispatches from New York last evening definitely stated that 30 New York gentle men have come forward to assist in putting an Association club into that city and to appoint Jim Mutrie as its manager. The releasing of Mutre by the League club direc tors has stirred up a" strong opposition and if he consents to become manager of a new team in New York the move will be a pop ular one. It is also stated that Tim Keete, Dick Buckley, Roger Connor, Bill Brown, Danny Richardson, Rusie and others, will be on the new Association team, at New York. If a more of this kind is made the League mag nates will have to do something, and do it at once. JEMS IS CONFIDENT. JIntrle Says Bo "Will Have a Good Team and Plenty oT Money. New York, Nov. 9. Special Jim Mutrie does not appear to be at all disheart ened because he was deposed from the man agement of the New York Baseball Club. On the other hand, he bobs up as smilingly as ever. He says that the national game will be booming in this city nczt year, and that the present New York club will not receive all the patronage. "There will be an American Association club in this city as sure as gnns." he said, "and I will have the entire management. Right now I can place my hands on $25,000 that have been subscribed by a few prominent men of this city and vicinity, and I am confident that I can get all the money I want to place a first class club in the field. That will be done, and I am going to work hard to perfect the arrangements at once." "When asked whether he would have any trouble in obtaining a franchise, Mutrie re plied: "None whatever. We have a fran chise now. The American Association has told us to go on. That's enough, isn't it?" General Sporting Notes. KAcnre is in California and recoving from his lameness.

HOW SPRINTERS CAN START WELL. Methods of Daily Exercise to Be Followed Ij Amateur Athletes. GENERAL SPORTING MEWS OP THE DAI Frequently amateur athletes want to know all about how to train for toot races. The following advice by an Eastern authority is sure to be interesting and to a great extent instructive: No printed instructions can make an as pirins athlete a good runner, and the ab surdity of telling at long range, with no in formation but the writer's age, the class of running he is best adapted for must be ap parent. As to "systemizing" a way, that is entirely out of the question, for the sys tem or course of training which would benefit one runner might produce a harmful effect upon another. The beginner himself must determine which branch of running suits him best, as sisted by the advice of an experienced club mate or trainer. If he shows fairly good speed, has good lung power and sturdy thighs and iegs, sprinting would be his forte. If he is not especially qualified as a sprinter, it would pay him much better to enter the ranks of the distance runners. First-class sprinters, like poets, are born, while perseverance in training will do much to bring the long-distance runner into the front ranks, always provided that no or ganic or other physical ailment is in the way. Distance running has also the ad vantage of being far more conducive to good health than the lightning, heart-breaking, muscle-rending spurts of the short-distance men. Learn to Start "Well. ' If sprinting is decided upon, the most im portant thing to learn is to start well, which is at times half the race. Practice starting with clubmates, and, in addition to getting away quickly, endeavor to reach the top notch of speed as soon as possible after leav ing the mark. Beginners should be careful to select clubmates who are steady on their marks in practicing this most important ad junct of sprinting. Forty to CO yards is enough to run at each practice start. In training for a sprint it would be well to run two-thirds of the distance at top speed onp evening aud the full distance the next. Practice starts of about 40 yards each should be sandwiched in. In distance running the beginner cannot be too caretul not to overdo the thing at the start. The first object should be to culti vate i good stride. Perfect this in easy jogging. The style should be natural; speed will come later. A practice spin of a mile an evening at an easy jogging gait will soon condition a man. In training for say a mile race, the proper amount ot work for a week would be: Monday, three-quarters of a mile at fair speed; Tuesday, a fairly fast GOO yards; "Wednesday, a mile at a steady pace; Thursday, half a mile at almost racing speed; Friday, three-quarters" of a(mile at a steady pace; Saturday, a few phort sprints of 100 yards. Keep up training" until two days before the race, just takivg enough exercise in the two d3ys to keep the muscles lim ber. If training for three to five mile races, about half the distance one day and two thirds the next at an easy, jogging gait is recommended, and for a ten-mile race in proportion. Somn trainers advocate only three times a week. There can be no fixed rule, because, as said, what will do for one man will not answer for another. Let the athlete run as long as he enjoys the exer cise, but exhaustion is to bo avoided in practice as well as finishing up a distance run with a sprint. Sprinting short dis tances and running fast quarters at times is to be recommended. Walking at all times cannot be other than beneficial. Dieting Days Are Past. The days of dieting an athlete are past, and trainers permit their charges to eat most anything they fanoy. The restric tions against pastry and tobacco are still enforced, however, and these would be good things to taboo. Beefsteak, chops or eggs, with oatmeal several times a week, tor breakfast, roast meat or fowl, with vege tables, for dinner, and chops, toast and tea for supper is the customary fare. But any wholesome food that the athlete fancies may be eaten. Several glasses of ale, porter or stout during the day will not retard the training. After exercise a light shower bath maybe taken, or a sponge bath with plenty of rock salt in the water would be better, as it hard ens the flesh. After the bath a good rub down with a coarse towel or flesh gloves is in order, and is very beneficial and invigor ating, hardening the flesh and reducing the weight. The foregoing are simply a few of the principal rules used by the best runners. The way to win races, trophies, and fame will come with experience. With the in junction to remember that a race is never over until the tape is breasted, and that suc cess is the result of patient, faithful work only, the correspondeut knows all that can be told at long range.

The Great John L. as He Is With His Mut ton Chopletj. John L. Sullivan is home again and has brought with him a very nice display of "mutton chop" whiskers. They may have been embryo when he left for the other side of the globe, but they are developed now. A gentleman who has 6een them says: "Whiskers!" "Why, whiskers as an expression does not come near defining those gray-streaked mutton-choplets. "They blend, they clasp together; they stretch down in rippling snrges from the temple, caress the iron jaw and kiss the jowl, then, with a sharp curve upward touch the lips, bridge them with a dark mustache a stubby one. but serviceable." A poet has also immortalized them a3 fol lows: A change hev swep' overde faceof diseart,' In Austrayley it snowed quite promiskers; An' now I'm come back ter de land o' me birt' And do wind's goin' pufT tro' me whiskers. People in San Francisco arc admiring John's whiskers, and while they may not make him a refined beauty they make his appearance quite impressive, even among his Boston friends. A HIPPODROME AT COLUMBUS. The Gorman-Comer Lightweight Meeting No Good at All. Columbus, Nov. 9. Special. Ed Gor majn, of Buffalo, and Tommy Comer, of Cin cinnati, two lightweights of some note, fought at the Casino to-night for $1,000 a side and the gate receipts. It was a hippo drome in all the word implies. Many sporting men had been (ailed here from Buffalo. Cincinnati, Chicago and other points, expecting to see a finish fight, and there was promise that such would be the case. It developed, however, before the contest was on, that Comer had been lush ing all day and was in no condition to enter the ring, and Gorman did him in short order by forcing the fight. The two first rounds consisted of an effort on the part of Comer to avoid punishment, and in the third he was forced to the grass. As ho tried to get up he received another side cnt and feigned exhaustion. The fight was then given to Gorman. Every one con nected with the affair was denonnced as fakirs, and it is generally understood the close was arranged in advance. Gorman is the man who was put in as a ringer at Buffalo, on which contest Elton Chamber lain made a winning and litigation followed over the affair. - EASY FOE JOHNNIE.

Johnnie Griffin, and his trainer, Jimmie Carroll, walked 16 miles on Wesdnesday, part of which was made over the big bridge of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad that spans the bay. They returned to their quarters fresh and strong. Griffin then sparred with one of the best boxers on the seacoast and knocked him out in the first round. The amateur said: "I tell you he can hit hard, and is as active as Fitzsim mons." Carroll has grown very enthusiastic over his man and says: "I will bet a pile of money that Griffin will win. I know what lam talking about." When asked as to what he thought of the Olympic Club's ?2 admission fee to the contest he said: "It will pav. There will not be a man, less than 4,000 present." Carroll says that Griffin is easily man aged, and is always willing to do his duty.

DIFFERED AS USUAF. Northslde Minds Have Varied Opinions "With "Regard to Mayor Gonrley'S Move Mr. Parke Thinks It a Good One and Mr. Stauffer Sajs No. Over in Allegheny opinions differed as to the wisdom of Mayor Gourley's move. Thomas A. Parke, Chairman of Common Council, thought that the Mayor should he the responsible head of all city affairs. He believed Mr. Gourley's request was for the best interests of the city, and that it was a good lead for Allegheny to follow. "To me, it seems," said Mr. Parke, "that the Mayor oc cupies a position similar to that of the President of the United States and that the heads of departments are as Cabinet officers. Secretary Blaine would not think of taking a step in the Chilean matter without consulting the President, and neither should Chief Murphy or Chief Brown do anything of importauce without first getting orders from the Mayor, under whom they are supposed to work. It is all nonsense for them to say they are nnder Councils and not the Mayor. Councils is a legislative body, and the Mayor is the executive power. "As such, he should receive all complaints, direct what ever matters he sees fit, and have a deciding voice in the awarding of contracts." ""We don't want a Mayor to be jack of all trades and master of none," said Coun cilman Stauffer. "The present .method in operation in Allegheny and Pittsburg is good enough, and I am not in favor of throwing it overboard to make room for a system that is " simply an invitation for bossism. "When Dr. Gillif ord was asked his opin ion, he replied that the plan proposed would be a good one under an honest mayor, and a bad one when the mayor is dishonest. ""Would it be a good one in Allegheny at present," he was asked. "You know my opinion on that," he re plied, with a significant smile that carried as much weight as a negative in all the lan guages spoken. Mr. Henricks thought it a good plan, but he was too busy explaining tne auditors report to give his reasons. A BLIND AUTH0BESS. Mrs. De Croix Tells How Her Husband was Killed on the "Wedding Day. An elderly lady, with a strikingface parti ally concealed behind a white veil, attracted considerable attention at the "Union depot last evening. She was accompanied by a pretty maid with dark eyes, who attended to all her needs. The woman was Mrs. Helen Aldrich De Croix,-ablind authoiess of some note. She said she had no home, but was now on her way to Canton, to visit friends for awhile, anS from there she would go tp Ft. "Wayne. She has just completed a history of her life, and among her works is the novel, "Foreshadowing." Mrs. De Croix is a woman with a remark able history. She is now 73 years old, and was born in Rochester, N. Y. According to Jier story she was married 4G years ago, in New York, to a Frenchman named De Croix, and while returning from the church in a carriage, the horses ran away, and her husband of only a few minute' was thrown out and killed. She escaped unHurt, but the shock and her grief were so great, that she was attacked bv a severe fever. After six weeks of suffering, she arose from a sick-bed with her eye-sight gone. Since then she has traveled extensively, and makes her home wherever it suits her inclination. Mrs. De Croix spent last winter in Pittsburg, and she spoke of her stay in this city with a good deal of pleasure. The unfortunate accident made a. deep impression on her, and she has never recovered fully from its effepK She has devoted her life to literature. Mrs. De Croix left for Canton at midnight. She said that while a girl, she remembered seeing the last of the Indian Corn Dances, and at that time the country west of the Genessee Itiver was controlled by the red skins.

JXJT r invalid mothers, especially nursing mothers, can avoid that debilitating, languid feeling, and look well and hearty instead of peaked and thin, if they will only use the genuine Johann Hoffs Malt Extract. The effect is most excellent, as not only the breast of the mother, but also the milk or gans are strengthened. This extract causes the secretion of milk to in crease, so that even feeble women need entertain no apprehensions that milk will be lacking for the child. The entire nutrition of the body is improved. But by all means avoid counter feits. See that "Johann HofTs" sig nature is on each bottle. The medi cal fraternity of the world recom mends "Johann Hoff's Malt Extract." Eisner & Mendelson Co., Sole Agents, 6 Barclay St., New York.
