To-Day's Game at the East End Grounds General Fportlng Kews or Interest. rrCIAI. TELEGKV TO Tint DISPATCn.1 New Yokk, Xov. 25 College men have taken this city by storm and to-night the streets were thronged with stalwart youths and men gleefully exhibiting theblue and the crange and black, significant of their ad herence either to Vale or Princeton. The weather is very promising and the pros pects arc that fully 40,000 people will wit ness the great game between the crack elevens to-morrow on Manhattan field. "Within two weeks a complete transforma tion has been made iu the aujiearancc of the Manhattan field. Xo one who has been a Mranger to that locality for that period of time will fail to be impressed by the re markable change that has occurred in the condition of things. "Where but a short time ago one stand, of a seating capacity estimated at 6,500, was adequate to accom modate an ordinary crow d of spectators to the well-known incloure. additional struct ures have been ei ected capable of accom modating, at a conservative estimate, 03,000 persons. Pronounce It a Gem rootball men who ha e seen the field pro nounce it to be a gem, and as much superior to that upon which the Yale-Harvard match was plaved last Sitnrday as one field .could possibly be over another. The playing of the Yale team on a whole has demonstrated its superiority over the Princctonians. Its team playinghas reached perfection.aud the mperiority of the three center plajers is not to be "denied. A comparison of indi i iduals who will oppose each other to-morrow shows a vast advantage in Yale's faor. It may be said that the game which the Harvard put up against the Yaleusiarrs will ha e a tendency to militate against the lat ter's work to-morrow, but the experts do not agree on this point, and the men them tf Ives who have been epoken to claim that thej have not as yet felt anv effects of the hard w ork they were compelled to undergo. K en among rier friends the opinion pre vails that Princeton is not in a condition this year to cope with her riaL Not Very SatisfactorT. The final practice canies have been played, and it is an unfortunate fact that they were not productive of as much satisfaction as it was expected they would be. The rough corners haie been rounded off and the team , left in a condition which it would be im possible to better. The fault lies in the fact that many of Princeton's old favorite leavers graduates last year, anu tneirpiaces liaic been filled by men who are not to be considered in the same class. Princeton men will admit that the team has not been practicing as well as thty would hae de sired. The vigor and snap and ability that was so characteristic of teams of former years has been notieeably lacking, and for once the Tigers will go into the struggle with little hope of coming out victorious T.en the assistance oi such famous coachere Moflilt, Harris. Edwards and Poe have been ineffective in bringing the team around into championship form. The practice work has been loose and unsatisfactory. The fact can be explained by the number of new men who are playing in the team. Poor Team Work. The lack of team work has been notice able, particularlv of late, and this element, more than any other, will doubtless ha e a bf-aring upon the result of the game. Com pared with last year's team the rush line is acknowledged to be somewhat heavier. Many of the positions are filled by men who Jiacbcen quite ignorant of the game, and it N this lack ot experience that will mili tate against their making such a showing as their adherents could desire. The ten denevof collece boys to be unruly is well known, and while their, weakness in this direction can be attributed to a desire to indulge in amusement, care must be taken to precnt their fun-loving tendencies reaching beyond reasonable extremes. The vastness of the crowd will be such that pickpockets and thieves will beat forded unlooked-for opportunities for prac ticing their nefarious schemes. To facili tate the f-afety as well as the comfort of the spectators, the police department will be called upon to exercise unwonted activity. ' lie police arrangements will be under the peisonal supervision of Inspector "Wil liams. Tolice "Will TaUe Possession. He and his men will take possession of the enclosure and surrounding neighbor hood about noon, and when the spectators of the game reach the grounds inclosmc they need not be suprUed if recei ad by 1,000 bine-coated minions of the law. Inspector Byrnes will give the detective end of the situation his personal attention. !For several days past las uniformed force of men haie been Pitching the incoming trains for thieves, pUkpockcts and crooks of various kinds which buch an event as the big football game would have a tendencv to attract to the metropolis Already quite a number of arrests of suspicious characters have been made, and the ces of the detec tive fraternity will be upon even bodv to-riorro-v known to have thieving propensi ties. The greenbacks that have been dis placed is positively overwhelming. The Princeton men arc in the majoritj at the Hoffman House, and there the orange and black is displaced to much advantage. Tiie crimson of Harvard predominates at the Imperial and the Plaza, and in all of f I c uptown hotels bright bits of color hanging from the lapels of natty looking irdividuals denote the wearers to be repre sentatives from the various institutions of learning all over the country. The betting i still in favor of Yale but Princeton is saining ground. TO-DAY'S LOCAL GAME. The Media Collrpe Fleven "Who Will Tackle the E. K. (inns. There is considerable interest in the foot ball game which takes place to-day at l.ibtrlj Park, East End, between the Media Collece team. of Philadelphia, and the East End Gmiis. The contest will be one of the most important that has taken place here fhis vear, as it will to a great extent give an idea as to how the Gyms rank with ac knowledged good teams. The lititors will arrive this morning, and the game will commence at ":30 in the after noon. During the game the returns of the Princeton-Yale game will be bulletined on the ground? The team of the Gyms have already been announced in this paper, and the Media team will be as follows: Center, Mi'ler: right guard, Newell: left guard, Itushong; right taokle, Stewart; left tackle, Cook- ncht end, Surmons: left end, Car penter: quarter back. Brown; right half lnek, Hughes; left half back, Jobson; full back, BelL Great Game Promised. McKEEsroirr, Xov. 2.1 Awia!. A great game of football is promised in this city to-morrow, between the home club and a team from Homestead. The local team has been strengthened to win and will play in the following order: Goal, Pat Morris sey: backs, John Kerr, Isaac Hall, half hacks, James Fleming, I. Burbridge, Charles Parker: forwards, John Goldic, Pat McAllister, Xeil Malley, Jake Smith, James Slater; umpire, J. Beardmore; re serves, J. Powers, A. Powers, T. Madden. The Hlch School Won. The High School boys have quite a fine football team, and yesterday they scored a creditable victory. They contested against Sophomore team of the "Western University, and won the game by 1G to 4. McXeil and Dilworth plajed very well indeed. The game was exceedingly interesting and was witnessed bv a good crowd. Lehigh Won. AVlLKESnARUE, Nov. 2a. Sptriaf. The Lafayette and Lehigh College football teams played an inter-collegiate champion ship game" at "West Side Park this after noon in the presence of u,000 persons. The game was scientifically played on a rather poor field. Lehigh won by a score of 16 to 2. rootball Jfots. Mr- SnoRTLiDGE thinks his team will de feat the Gyms to day. Walter CAJir says the Princetons are a much improved team, and may surpuso somebody to day. The game at the East End to-diy between the (lym- and the Media College team will stii t at 2 30 r. m. If the weather is fine it is likely that tbeie will be a large attcnaance. At a meeting of the football team of Will iams College last night I. Garfield, of Men tor, O., son of ex-President G;ii field, was elected captain foi next season. Garfield plays half back. 11a. Wilsos, or this citv, ex-National League umpire, saw the Princeton team play lecently, andsavs thatitis safe to bet that they score to-da and that Yale do not score moie than 20 points. Joiii.8 Hor-Kins TJmvxhsitt will be strong ly repicsented at tho rimceton-Yale foot ball match to day. Students, intending to go are signing in numbers a paper to that effect and contributing tne needful funds. Before 183 Yale won two sanies to Fi inccton's tin ee, one I cing a draw. In 1SSJ some radical reforms were made, and wnce that time Yalo won six eanies to Prince ton's two, and has scored 73 points to Prince ton's 20 Tun betting on the Tale-Princeton game last night was 3 to 1 on the New Haven col lege men. One bet of $75 to $25 was made at the Hoffman House last night. A wager of $50at evens that "the Tigers" would not score was also made. THE ST. LOUIS PIAYEES. Reason Why Some of Vondy'g Stars Re fused to Remain With Him. St. Louis, Xov. 23 Special Storiesin nnmerable hav e been told in regard to the cause of Comiskey, OVNeill, Boyle, McCar thy, Puller and Hoy leaving St. Louis. Hoy's departure was no secret, as it was well, known some time ago that he had given it out publicly that he would not re main in St. Louis unless paid a certain sum of money an amount said to be larger than that received last season, while Yon der Ahe was of an entirely different opinicr. He wanted the deaf mute at a lower sal ary, and he was not stuck on getting him even then. He was a hard mar. to coach on account -of his deafness, and he w ould be come as mad as a hornet if upbraided. He was not a disturber, yet he made more or less trouble lor the captain of the team. .Next the trouble with Stivettswas spoken of. He would not remain in St. Louis, and neither would McCarthy and Boyle. Mc Carthv wanted $800 to start in business with in Chicago, and he knew that he could not get any more than vuu trom unns, so he signed and obtained ?500 from Boston, and when he returned Chris' leg was stretched for a cold half thousand. O'Xeill was out for the long green, and so was Boyle. Thev have both signed, but they imagine it is fashionable to keep the matter quiet, and it is tealcd within their bosoms. Last, but by no means least, it is a well known fact that Comiskey's head is as long as a horse's when it comes to the stuff that buys bread. He took a walk with Chris one afternoon and told him just how he loved him and St. Louis, and that li3 could not think of liv ing elsewhere, and that if the bos president wanted him to do so he would, as a favor, affix his John Hancock to a St. Louis contract, and that he would not ask any more than had been paid him for the past season. Chris impressed on the elongated captain that kraut and cigars had advanced in St. Louis, and salaries were liable to advance if he (Chris) listened to the hoghide handlers, but this he could not and would not do, and he said that before he would play Comiskey on first base next season he would cover the bag himself, if he had to catch the ball in a basket. The offer made to Comiskey was 53,000, and he spurned it, saving that he would rather play for Brush for ?23,u00 for three years in Cincinnati and eat common Cin cinnati grub Cincinnati is well pleased with Comiskey and vice versa, and in him they get a good man. Baseball Notes. McKr.the CleveWnd shortstop, weighs 20S pounds. Tnn 12-club League notion seems to be gamins ground. Jon-s IIealt, the pitcher, has married a St, Louis j ouii? lady.

Thike is no solid reason why tho League should oppose the Association in putting a club into Chicago. JliKE Kellv bivs he would have to plav ball evcrv dav in the vear to get enough money to keep him alive in England. A St. Loris exchange, says: With a team made up almost exclusively of at.

Over 170 horses arc stabled at the track and more are expected from Chicago and Gut tenburg by Saturday. A LETTEE FEOH HEIDEGEB. The Ex-Pittsbnrg Trainer Glres Some In teresting News Aboot German Trotters. Joseph B. Heideger, the well-known trainer of trotting horses, now in Germany, in an interesting letter to the sporting edi tor of this piper states that the trotting sea son has closed in Germany. Joe states that he has made quite a good sum of money this year with his horses and had intended to visit Pittsburg during the winter, but he has such a large number of colts to attend to that he cannot possibly get away. He has resolved to send Gipsy Queen, 2:19J, back to this countrv, as she has done no good this season. Blue Bell, 2:21, Joe says, has won him lots of money. In Iiis letter he adds that two American train ers have been expelled during the season, and next season American trainers will have to give-ihe German trainers 25 meters start in every race where their horses com pete against each other. The Germans claim that the Americans are too slick for them, and Joe says he can steal about 25 meters easily in any race. Tnrf Notes. Winter racing still continues to be popu-1 lar in the East. Perrt Belmovt has booked his great mare Magnetism to fat. Blaise. Goopale still heads the list of winning jockeys at Garfield Park. It looks as if there will be more money for horses to run for next year in this countiy than during any previous yeai.

Fox and Joseph McEwen took place at the Xatatorium last evening and again resulted in a victory for Fox. The race ended some what abrupt' y,as McEwen broke down when only 11 laps had been contested. The distance was one mile or 70 lengths ofthepooL The betting was a trifle in favor of McEwen, as it was thought he w ould ont-stay l"ox. They both took the water together and Pox soon was in front by about three yards. In this order they raced until the eleventh length, when Mc Ewen was seized with cramps in his left foot. His misfortune completely ruined his chance of victory,as he had to be assisted out of the water. He generously told Fox that he could have the race without swim ming the distance, and Fox left the pool after swimming 22 lengths. The referee awarded the race to Fox. It is difficult to say how the race would have ended if no mishap had occurred, as both men were swimminc exceedingly well That Fox is a good swimmer there is no doubt, and it is only fair to say that Mc Ewen was not by any means in a good con dition. The men have to meet aain Satur day evening in a half-mile race. AHY AM0UKT OF SLUGGING. The Pennsylvania Team Won, but They Were Badly Braised by Wesleyans. New York, Xov. 25. Eighteen to 10 in favor of the University of Pennsylvania was the score at the finish of the champion ship football game played to-day in Man hattan field between the elevens of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania and "Wesleyan, thus giving Pennsylvania third place. It was generally expected that the men from Pennsylvania would have a walkover and run up a big score, but somewhat to the suiprise of the 2,500 spectators, "Wesleyan put up a tough game and gave the team with the. reputation of being sluggers a hard fight for the victory. From start to "finish it was a well eon tested struigle, and there were any number of pretty plays made on both bides Then, to make the game better vet, hardly a man on cither side escaped injury of some sort, and when the game was over the victorious eleven looked as if they" had been run through a stone-crushing machine, so gen eially were they plastered aud bandaged. Shooting Contests To-Day. Entries for the Houiewood shoot to-day can be made on the grounds. The shoot will commence at 2 p. ai., and the money will be divided into three prizes. No outside shooting will be allowed on the grounds. The Harrison Shooting Club will have a rifle shoot for turkev s to-day at Kbss Grove. There will also be blue rock shooting for money prizes.

John UlcCo'ilum Returns l'iom His Eighth Trip to New Orleans. A picturesque character appealed last night at the Allegheny police station for a flight's lodging. He was John McCollum, ageu oo years, ana ne was corn in the First ward, Allegheny. "When he was 8 years old his mother and father died, and he was left to care for himself. He began by selling newspapers. "While sleeping out one night his right leg was frozen and had to be am putated. He then learned the trade of a shoemaker, and pursued it for a number of vears. About o0 years ago he became asso ciated with David Steele, an Allegheny fisherman, and during this companionship made several visits by skiffto Xew Orleans. Yesterday he returned from his eighth trip to that city, having rowed the entire dis tance in 33 days, living the greater part of the time in his boat. AYlien he arrived at Allegheny last night he was without money, but claimed that he codld secure all he desired in the morning. TESTEBDAI'd HOTEL ARRIVALS. i Moxoxgahela F. S. Henry, New York; W. r.

BACK FROM CHICAGO Messrs. Phlnps, "Walker and Blgelow Fail t3 Find TV hat They Were After. Messrs. Henry Phipps, John "Walker and E. M. Bigelow returned home yesterday from their trip to Chicago, where they went a few days ago to examine the ?80,000 floial conservatory being created there. Mr. Bigelov.' said last evening that, while very handsome, the Chicago conservatory was not complete or grand enough to suit Mr. Phipps' id eas. anil before any definite ac tion is taken tow ard planning a conserva tory for Pittsburg a number of other cities will be visited where there are conserva tories. "While in Chicago Mr. Bigelow made ar rangements for securing some desirable ad ditions to theoral attractionsat the narks. Xext spring he will began to plant flowers and shrubs in Schcnlev Park. He re marked jesterday that he w ould probably make a contract soon for furnishing a few thousand rhododendrons to be planted in both Highland and Scheiiley Parks. 'Rhododendrons, " he said, "can be planted in the woods or any other part of the ground, and while making handsome shrub bery give us the beautiful effect of their bright colors when they are in bloom. I have found also a beautiful species of begonia which I expect to introduce in our parSs next season. Formerly the bloom of the begonia was a small, colorless, insignificant flower, but now through the skill ot the florist a species has been pro duced bearing flowers as large as a saucer and of magnificent coloring." Mr. Bigelow talked of many improve ments to be made at the parks next year, among others au artificial lake of large pro portions, w hich can he supplied without expense to the city. During the hurricane on Monday the bandstand at Highland Park was blown down and so damaged that it must be replaced with a new on". It is possible that the new one will be built of stone. Fountains are another point that the chief is making calculations upon and he intimates that a gift of a handsome bronze fountain from a public-spirited citi zen is among the possibilities.
