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 game will commence at ":30 in the after
noon. During the game the returns of the
Princeton-Yale game will be bulletined on

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

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.

St. Loms, Xov. 25. Ev erything is in
readiness fbr the reopening for South Side
Park to-morrow afternoon. This track was
closed some time ago owing to the decision.
ot .1 udge Ulaiborne that tne anti-pool law was
unconstitutional, giving: the pool rooms full
sway, thereby diminishing the attendance ")
at the track. .Now that tne rooms are
closed the park can be run successfully,
and arrangements have been made to have

Over 170 horses arc stabled at the track and

A LETTEE FEOH HEIDEGEB.
The Ex-Pittsbnrg Trainer Glres Some In

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.

AH0THEE FOE 70X.
He Defeats McEwen In Their Second Swim
ming; Race at the Natatorinm.
The second swimming iaa between J. P.
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

BACK WITH HIS LITTLE SKIFF.
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.

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.
