The E?rTle Adjourn Until They Am Called to De
cide on the Peace Propositions.
fcrECIAL TELEGCAK TO THE DISrATd!.
Xew Yokk, Jfov. 13. The oflicials of
the National League are business men, and
they have just given a striking illustration
of that fact. They came here to hold their
annual meeting, transacted their business,
and have done all this without the slightest
apparent friction. Theie may have been
growls of discontent and internal dissen
sions, but no sound ol it was heard
thiourfi the heavy door of the parlor at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The proceedings
came to an unexpected close at 3 o'clock
this afternoon, and when the delegates ap
peared in the lobby they all wore a look
wliich i-cemed to indicate intense satisfac
tion with themselves and all the world.
Xot even mention of the American Asso
ciation caused thcin to lose their composure.
The significant conference between Messrs.
Trice and Sod:n created a sensation.
Trlnce Wanted to Know.
The additional fact came to light to-day
that some days ago Jlr. Prince had a meet
ins with the other association oflicials and
insisted on knowing the terms on which
they would agree to a settlement with the
Leasue. They were at first backward, but
finally Mr. Prince got a full and clear state
ment "of their intentions and desires. The
next move was to bring that statement to
the attention of the League. All the
leaguers decline to say what proposition
Mr. Prince made, but it is learned from good
authority that the League meeting to-day
devoted nearlv all its time to considering
the subject of Mr. Prince's communication
to Mr. Sodcn.
That the tenor of the proposals was satisfactory-
was evident from the beaming coun
tenances of the magnates. One prominent
official remarked: "I feel 100 per cent
better than I did before this meeting
started." It is generally believed that
Mr. I'rince Is the Mouthpiece
of the association in an effort for a settle
ment and the League has selected Sodcn to
do the preliminary talking in its behalf.
It was unofficially announced during the
afternoon that the meeting had appointed a
peace committee consisting of Soden. Brush
and Hobinson. This was emphatically de
nied by the magnates, but, a. they would
not care to have the tacts made known in
advance of similar action by the Associa
tion, there is believed to be good ground for
the assertion that a League peace commit
tee is already in existence, and it will soon
meet a peace committee from the Associa
tion. "When the meeting had adjourned Secre
tary Young announced the following was the
result of the League deliberation: The
League reassembled at 12:30, wben X. E.
Young was re-elected President Later in
the day. though, the League complimented
him by extending his term of offico three
rears. F. Delia's Itobinson, of Cleveland;
A. 1C Scandrett, of Pittsburg, C H. Bvrne,
of Xcw York and J. B. Day, of Xcw York,
were next elected as directors.
The Schedule Committee.
After this James A. Hart, J. B. Day and
John T. Brujh were chosen as a committee
to prepare a schedule. John B. Sago, of
Butialo, for the lirst time in the Leagues
history. iuised a meeting, but he got the
League's printing, all the same. The an
nual spring meeting will be held in Xcw
York early in March. It was voted that
when the League adjourns it be subject to
the call of the President, and this means
that a meetinc to talk over the peace ques
tion can be called at any time.
Messrs. Brush, IJogcrs and Byrne, the
committee appointed at a previous meeting
to draw up a testimonial to A. G. Spalding,
of Chicago, in appreciation of his valuable
services to the League in the past, received
iurther time in wliich to prepare and en
grots suitable resolutions. Meanwhile Mr.
Spalding is to receive an honorary member
ship in the League.
SIGNED THE CONTEACT.
Tilanager X'oncr Gives King S50O .Advance
Monry anil Signs Him.
A lew days ago Tun Dispatch stated
that Charley King had been secured by the
New York club. Yesterday King made all
pledges cood by signiug. Manager Powers
arrived in the city yesterday from Cincin
nati, where had signed John Ewing, the
pitcher. Manager Powers left last evening
for New York, and before leaving he said
the Giants next year would be just as good
a.s of yore.
The truth is that Manager Powers re
ceived telegrams from New York stating
that King was more than sufficient to
counterbalance the loss ofBusic. Manager
Powers thinks that Kusic is a great man,
but lie also thinks that King will be a great
one in New York.
Yesterday King received $."J00 advance
money from the New York manager, and
the deal is now fmallv closed.
SIGNED THE CONTEACT.
Charley Kins Ots SSOO Advance Money
ami Signs a Contract.
Manager Powers was in the city yester
day. He arrived from Cincinnati, and ho
signed Chsrley King for the Xcw York club,
and he gave King S500 in advance. King at
once put the money in the bank. Manager
I'owers has also signed John Ewins, which
makes two first-class pitchers that the Xcw
York club has on its list.
Manager Powers had a short conference
with Jac-1: Glasscock. The latter has made
a fool of himself to such an extent that he
cannot now sign with the Xcw York clnb
although he. wants to. If peace is accom
plished Glasscock is one.of those players
who des-rve to have the leash of combina
tion inflicted on him more than any ball
player in the National League or Associa
tion. A Trivatc Telegram.
St. Louis, Nov. 13. A private telegram
has been received here from President Von
dcr Alio, of the Browns, that he ha signed
pitcher Gleason of last year's Philadelphia
League team.
A "WISE SUGGESTION.
The
rsn-cl! 1'arty flant to Arbitrate the
lispute About the Kacp.
The parlies interested in the Smith-Far-rcll
iace were at this office last evening, but
nothing definite was done. The Farrell
party, however, made the following manly
and fair proposition:
"Kegarding the dispute about our right
to own all the stake money of the race be
tween Farrell and Smith on Saturday last
we are content to submit our claim to "arbi
tration. AVe will appoint one man to
represent us and let John Quinn have
one man to represent him and Jet the
two men agree on a third. If the
two men cannot agree Jet ex-Mayor Mc
Ca'.lin telect a third map. We suggest this
HOPEFUL
as a fair method of determining whether or
not we are entitled to the money we have
won. A court trial will be expensive. This
method will be cheaper and will allow us to
get home sooner. AVe arc strangers here,
hut we think there are a sufficient number
of fair-minded people in Pittsburg to give
us a fair show. Our proposition means
that every man who knows anything about
the alleged crookedness be brought to the
front to tell what he knows and examined
.thereon. After everybody is heard, includ
ing the contestants, under oath if necessary,
let the three arbitrators decide. s
"We make this proposition as strangers
to the city of Pittsburg, fully believing that
it will be' cheaper to us and'everybody con
cerned, and that we have nothing to con
ceal. If Mr. John Quinn is as sure of his
case let him say, 'Arbitrate the matter.' "
The above document was signed by Tim
Hunt and Steve Farrell, and most assuredly
a fairer propositicn couldn't be made. If
the Smith party, or rather Smith's backers,
will not accept" it, then it is sure that pub
lie opinion will go against them, and the
general notion will be that theyare only
trying to regain their money by fair or foul
means. The probability is that Smith's
backers will accept the proposition, and it
will he pleasing to everybody if they do.
COEBETT MUST WAIT.
The Irish Champion and His Hacker Get on
Their Dignity.
Xnv YORK, Nov. 13. Special Fight
ers Jim Corbett and Peter Mahcr have each
?1,000 deposited with the Herald to bind a
match. Billy Madden put up the $1,000
first on behalf of Maher. Corbett sent
word that he could not consider Mahcr's
challenge until December 13, as he wanted
Slavin or Mitchell to have a chance to meet
him. Subsequently, however. William
Brady, Corbett's backer, covered Mahcr's
$1,000 and declared that Corbett was willing
to fight right away. Nothing else transpired
in the matter until last night, when the
following letter was received;
To the ndltoroftlic Xcw York HcraM:
My representatives will bo at the Herald
oflice on Friday prepared to post the balance
of the $5,000 stako and arrnnce the prelimin
aries for a match between Peter Maher and
nivsclf.
Will von kindlv inform Mr. Madden of this
jVact. so that nothing can interfere with the
completion of definite arrangements.
Yours respectfully, James Coriiett,
per AV. A. 15.
A telegram sent to Madden, who is m
Buflalo, brought the following reply:
Corbett stated lie would sisn articles on
December 15 if Slavin or Mitchell would not
fight him. I made my arrangements accord
ingly and will sign agreement on that day.
Billy Maddes.
Of course, there is nothing left for Corbett
and Brady to do but wait until the date
which they themselves set.

Flynn, champion of Georgia, and Danny
O'Donnell, champion of Northeastern Penn
svlvania, fought with skin-tight gloves at
Mudtown, this county, at 3 o'clock this
morning. They are light weights, Flynn tip
ping the beam at 126 pounds, and O'Donnell

lom the fact that Flynn was ovei matched
ill point of skill.
In the third round, with a foul blow, Flynn
brought O'Donnell to his knees. O'Donnell
then sprang to his feet and beat Flynn back
to his corner, punishing him severely. In
the fourth round Flynn again fouled and
again in the fifth. The last one cost him the
match, which was given to O'Donnell.

Mike Cleaky was always rijrrcat favorite

doubtless show him in a substantial manner
that they sympathize with him in his mis
fortune. His pugilistic clreor is over, for a
boxer with only one foot would have a hard

Jons WniTXA?r, better known ns"Ajax,"

trophy, which Whitman now holds. Ferry
comes from the West, and has lifted, it is
claimed, over 800 pounds with his teeth by
the assistance of a chain attached to a
mouthpiece. Whitman holds the lecord for
tecth lifting, having raised 400 pounds bv
tho aid of a ropo with a mouthpad attached
to it.
Tuere has been considerablo argument in
the Stevens School as to whether tho team
that now represents them is the strongest
that it is possible for the school to put in the
field. A team was picked from those
players not on tho lirst team, and the two
trams plaved yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock. The game, while the rcgula.1 team
won by a score of li to 0, showed that the
picked team would develop into a much
stronger one, the loss of the game being due
to the absence of team work, as was to bo
expected fiom the fact that they had never
piaycu togctner ueiore.
A delegation from the Brooklyn Cribh
Club, composed of Davo Thompson, Kd. C.
feandford. and Tom Francis, accompanied
KddioAvorv, the 105-pound boxer, to the
lltiixtrated JVeir office yesterday afternoon in
tho hopo of making a match between Avery
and Alf Levy, tho English bantam. The
Krooklvnites offered a purse of $300 and a
bet of $350, but Lc-vy w ould not agree to tho
puro. He would make the bet, he said, but
he wanted more of a purse. Then he ollered
to figllt Avery with two-ounce gloves for
the stako alone, ten men a sido to be pres
ent. Avery was willing, except to far as the
gloves were concerned. He wanted skin
gloves for such a contest, and a hitch oc
curred. It was pointed out to the Knglish
lnan that be could make $300 more bv ac
cepting the pur.-e, but he couldn't or
wouldn't seo it. Avcrv finally said ho
would give Levy until Thursday to find out
what he would do, and the party left tho
oflice with a suspicion that Levy was not
overanxious to fight in any way.

THE HARVARD TEAM.
Only a Few Days Left for Them to
Line Up Against Yale.
A STB0XG TEAM GUARANTEED.
I.ivelj Flaying Expected To-Day Among
Local Teams of Rnfjby Style.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT
rSPECIAL TELEOnAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Bostok, Nov. 13. Harvard has just ten
days in which to choose and perfect her
team before the game with Yale. Thechoice
may be said to have been already made, for
the team will doubtless be made up as fol
lows: Ends Mason and HallowelL
Tackles Newall and AVaters.
Guards A'ail and Mackie.
. Center Shea.
Quarter-back Cobb.
Half-back Lake and Corbett
Full-back Trafford.
Upton has not recovered sufficiently from
his attack of typhoid fever to allow him to
play, and he will not be on the team this
year. Cobb is not sure of his position ji
quarter-back, and Mason may not play, at
end, but otherwise the team will be as above
indicated.
Up to Monday the uncertainty of the
faculty's decision in the cases of AVaters,
Mackie and Corbett had made the eleven
backward in team play, but work has
already been begun on this point, and a
marked improvement is looked for by
Saturday. There is no doubt now but that
Harvard has a verv strong team, which
will he fully the equal of her eleven of
last year.
Better Than Last Tear.
Yale's present team is considered slightly
better than the one which she presented at
Springfield last fall, so that there is every
prospect of a magnificent struggle on the
21st. The contract for building the grand
stands ,at Springfield has been awarded to
G. M. Burnham, of that city, and work has
already been begun on the grounds. Pre
parations are being made lor 15,000 spec
tators. After to-day no one will be allowed to
watch the Yale team practice at the Yale
field. This rule is to be enforced more
strictly this year than it has been heretofore,
and will exclude all persons, whether Yale
men ornot, except those connected with the
management of the team. The purpose of
this is to prevent the other colleges from
studying the style of game which Yale will
play.
The Princeton-University of Pennsyl
vania game demonstrated two things of im
portance to the teams of Yale, Harvard and
Princeton. One was that the team which
relies on the center-bucking system of play
cannot win this year, and the other was that
holding in the rush line is apt to be a dan
gerous experiment with a good umpire.
About Pennsylvania.
If Princeton lost the ball once for holding
and off-side playing at Philadelphia, she
must have lost it a dozen times at least, and
as the Pennsylvanian team copied Prince
ton's plav ineverv particular it also for
feited the ball at critical times for the same
transgressions. There was a great deal of
criticism bestowed on Mr. Coffin on account
of his strict rulings in Saturday's game, but
he is an old hand at the business of football
umpiring, and his decisions, though ag
gravating at times, were manifestly
just. The fact is there has been a
great deal too much holding in the
rush line among the big college teams,
and during one practice game this season
some of the players were "off side" almost
the whole time. At New Haven in the AA'cs-leyan-Yale
game on Saturday another devi
ation from the rules was rebuked by the
umpire, AValter Camp, who gave Yale 25
yards for an attempt at tripping on the part
of one of the AVesleyan's rushers.
If the hints by Messrs. Camp and Coffin
are not taken as warnings there will be
much surprise and dissatisfaction in the
coming championsh'p games. It will be
remembered that in 1888 Cowan, Princeton's
best rusher, was ruled off the field in a
the game with Harvard by AValter Camp
for tackling too low, which is another habit
that may create trouble for the big teams
this mouth.
HAVE FLOPPED AGAIK.
Tho Wesleynns Go Hack On Their Agree
ment as to Their Philadelphia Game.
Philadelphia, Nov. 13. AVesleyanhas
again Copped. This time she has gone
back on her written agreement to play the
annual game of football with the University
of Pennsylvania on the Manheim grounds,
and insists on the game being played in
New York. She alleges no reason for her
action.
Itecently a Mr. Scott called for and se
cured an interview with Messrs. G. S. Pat
terson, L. C. Madeira and others, of Penn
sylvania, and surprised them by refusing to
live up to their agreement and play at
Manheim, simply insistingon New York as
the scene of the battle, and saying the
agreement meant nothing. The Pennsyl
vania men showed the agreement to an emi
nent lawyer, Samuel S. Hollingswortli,
who, after carefully examining it, pro
nounced it "a binding, legal agreement."
In conversation with Mr. L. C. Madeira
yesterday, he said:
"The "trouble was all stirred up by this
fellow Scott, who has always done all in
his power that was hostile to the University
of Pennsylvania. I suppose we will have
to play in New York, how ever, as that is
the location fixed by the convention for the
game. Of course we could enforce our
rights by law, but do not care to go to so
much trouble in the matter."
The University of Pennsylvania football J
players, wniie s'lii ratner oiue over their
bad show-ins on last Saturday, are practis
ing faithfully for their Yale game Saturday.
In that game they will be short the services
of two of their regular men Half-back
Branson andEnd Kuslier Heisman. These two
men, together with Schoff, were in very bad
condition when theywentintothePrinccton
game, and it was only their pluck that car
ried them through.
Heisman and Branson stiffened up pretty
badly after the game and will be unable to
play against Yale. Schofl will start in, but
whether he will be able to play, it through
is another question. In Heisman's place
either McFadden or Cone will play. Both
are pretty capable players. In Branson's
place it was intended to play Martin, but as
the latter wrenched his sore knee badly
again to-day, it may be necessary to play
Church at Half and Newton at quarter back.
The men are not jubilant over their show
ing against Princeton and will try to show
how they can play when they meet Yale.
Great Game Expected. '
The game of Rugby football at the East
End "Gym" grounds to-day between the
Altoona team and the "Gyms" will be the
most exciting game of the season. The Al
toonas will make a great eflort to down the
"Gvms." having secured the services of sev
eral college players. A large crowd of ad
mirers from Altoona will come with the
team. The game will be called at 3 o'clock.

Poor Interference.
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 13. Cum
nock, Adams and Stewart coached the team
to-day, and managed to get some snap into
them. Harvard's interference is wretched,
and mnst improve greatly before the Yale
game if they expect to make any long gains.
In the practice to-day Corbett fumbled
badly. Big Shea is bracing up and making
a strong bid for center rush. AVhite, '92,
played a fine game for the scrub side. Em
mons and AVaters are showing the effects of
good coaching and are improvine daily in
their play. Trafford kicked a beautiful goal
from the field from the 40-yard line.
Tickets for the Yale game will be put on
sale here next Monday.
ABOUT THE GREAT ARI0N.
Robert Bonner Explains a Few Things
.Regarding Trotters and Trotting Tracks
Do Talks Abont tho 'Wonderfnl Two-Tear-Old
A Regulation Track Ite
qnircd for Records.
New Yokk, Nov. 13. Special. "AVhat
do I think of Arion's performance?" re
peated Mr. Robert Bonner in his cozy par
lor last evening. "AVell, now, what would
any horseman think of such a phenomenal
performance by a 2-year-old? I can only re
peat my congratulatory telegram to Senator
Stanford when he wired me the news. Here
it is: '2:10' for a 2-year-old is so far be
yond anything I ever expected to see that
it dumfounded me, and I can only add that
I most heartily congratulate you on your
unparalleled and undreamt of success in
breeding and developing the trotting horse.'
There, I can't say any more than that."
"Have vou any intention! of purchasing
Arion and keep the records in the Bonner
family?" asked the reporter.
"Eh?" The great horseman looked both
surprised and startled at the question, and
then with a quiet smile said; "AVell, no;
Senator Stanford is going to keep him for
his stud. I hardly think he'd part with
such a treasure."
"Don't you think that forcing Arion such
a clip as a 2-year-old is bound to hurt his
future prospects?"
Mr. Bonner did not immediately reply to
this question. "That is a matter of opin
ion," he said, slowly. "I have had well
known horsemen tell me that if Sunol had
not been sent in 2:10J4 as a 3-year-old, she
would have been a better horse. As for
Arion well, even if he never bettered his
2:103, it would still be a great glory for
Senator Stanford to have had such a 2-year-old.
I hardly think: he would complain."
It was evident that Mr. Bonner was not a
believer in sending a young horse such a
fast mile, but through delicacy did not wish
to criticise Senator Stanford's oi Marvin's
judgment.
"Do you believe that your fo,000 offer for
a -i:Uj trotter within two years is in any
danger of being taken?"
"No, sir, I do not," was the emphatic re
sponse. ".Remember, it is'to be done on a
regulation track. No kite-shaped business.
One of my friends remarked to me the other
day, in talking of Sunol, that he beleived I
would have to pay the 55,000 to Robert
Bonner." Here the old gentleman laughed
heartily. "AVell, we'll see in the spring.
Marvin is coming on with the mare, and
I'll have him try to bring on his string in
the spring. I would sooner have him
handle her than any other trainer, because
he knows her better. During the winter I
will fix Sand's hoofs, so that she will be
able to stand a good pounding. If she does
break Maud's 2:08J there will still be the
satisfaction that the record is in the Bonner
family."
Mr. Bonner discoursed at length upon the
kite-shaped track, and showed how such a
course could be graded to be down-hill all
the way, a manifestly unfair advantage
over the regulation track. Upon this point
he has yery decided views, and no matter
how fast another horse trots over the new
fangled course, he will never admit its su
periority over his queen Maud. Mr. Bon
ner, by the way, thinks the peerless mare is
in an interesting condition. She has been
bred to Ansel, 2i20, another of Electioneers
sons, and all signs point to a foal.

Tho Great Racer Declined Because lie Was
a Real Roarer.
London, Nov. 13. The race horse Or
monde, on which an English syndicate in
vested 42,000 in rebuying him from an
Argentine stud breeder, was recently of
fered to the British Government. Mr. Chap
lin, President of the Board of Agriculture,
declined to accept Ormonde on the ground
that he was a "roarer," the affection known
as "roaring" being heriditary.
The response has raised a "public discus
sion beyond horse breeding circles and es
pecially in view of the fact that the horse
Golden Plume won a race at Liverpool
yesterday, after undergoing the operation
of tracheotomy for the cure of "roaring. "
Golden Plume has a silver pipe in his
throat through which the trachea is visible.
The 'pipe is secured in the throat by a
turned'edge, the horse breathing through
the tube with the utmost freedom.
