Two Old Players May Kyoto Tales Football Ttam
Gtn'ral Sfortins Xes of the Day.
There was, indeed, plenty of sport and
fan at the Linden Club House last evening.
The second three matches of the bowling
tourney took place there and the au
dience was not only a fashionable one
hut icry large. Fully SO per cent of
the crowd were ladies and they en
joyed the fun immensely. How
they applauded as strike after strike was
made, and it was intercting to note that
tin fair portion of the audience had their
lavorites.
To say that the Linden Clubhouse i an
legant one is a very mild w ay of praising
it. It is just as handsome inside as it is
cory. and it is evidently well looked after.
The bowling alleys are ej.cellent and the
howling on them la-t evening w as ery
good indeed, and the result was pleasing to
a large number of people, as it will keep the
tup from absolute possession for some time
longer. The condition of the tourney is
that the same club shall win three successive
ontests before it can own the cup. Belle
ncld won the first, and last evening Linden
was the victor.
The Linden team really rolled in good
stvlc, and McCIintock was particularly in
good form. His strikes and spares did
good service. VTainwright, for Cellefield,
was not in his best form after the
rirst match, and, in fact, almost all the
players fell off considerably before the
third match was finished. In the first match
"Wainwright had no less than eight strikes
and one spare and Black had seen strikes.
The East End Gyms are not as formida
ble as bowlers as they are in other branches
of sport, but with practice they will nroba-
blv come out all right. The next series of
matches will take place at Kelleficlii Mon
day night a week, when the Gyms expect to
have their forces in line to win. Following
arc the scores of last evening's game:

THE PE1CE OF YACHTS.
A Great ShrinKagn in the Value ot the
Pleasure Craft.
Boston-, Nov. SO. Special The public
have but little idea of the shrinkage in the
price of yachts from one year to another.
The falling off is greater in England than in
this country. The catboats and the 30
footers hold better prices than any other,
and the loss on a 30-footer is not over 700
on a total cost of about $3,500. The 40
footers originally cost close on to 58,000,
and many of them have been sold for an
average of ?4,.'vn0.
The Marguerite sold for 54,300, and she
was a good boat The Minerva cost $7,000,
and she can be bought for less than 54,500.
The 40-footers cost over 511,000, and it will
he hard work to get 58,000 for them. As
the size of the boats increase the falling off
becomes greater, and a 33-footer like the
Clara, with two suits of sails, and built
originally for oyer 512,000, was sold last
year for just half'that sum.
The big schooners show a great reduction.
Good ones can be bought for reasonable
sums on the other side, and the same can be
aid of all kinds of yachts. The market is
overcrowded over there, and the different
j achting agencies have hundreds of boats
on their lists. The loss on the original
fosts was very greats on the schooners Am
bassadress, Alert and Constellation in fact,
a small-sized fortune has been lost on each
of the boats.
Mr. Vanderbilt bought the steam yacht
Conqueror at a great loss to the original
owner. He did not pay one-fifth of the
original cost.
Steam yachts hold up better than sailing
tessels, arid John Stetson sold the Sapphire
icry close to her original cost in fact, it
has been many times said that he got out of
yachting cheaper than anybody else.
Danny Will Stay.
Elmira, Xov. 30. In regard to an inter
view with Tat Powers, the manager of the
New York Base Ball Club, published in a
Philadelphia paper, in which it appeared
that Danny Richardson wis said to be un
certain as to his contract with the "Wagners,
Kichardson said to-day that he was very
much surprised. He further said that he
had never yet broken 'a contract and never
would. He stated that the "Wagners had no
disagreement with him, and he would do as
he ngreed in.this contract as far as playing
with the Athletics was concerned.
AFTER OUR CHAMPIONS.
Frenchmen Anxious to Engage Jake
Sckaeffer and Slosson to Go to Paris and
Play Billiards Foreigners "Willing to
Pat Vp Cash for OnrKxperts.
New York, Nov. 30. Special. What
the sporting world calls a "solt snap" seems
to be awaiting ambitious billiard profes
sionals in Paris just now. The Parisian
sporting capitalists have tried the Ameri
can wrinkle of buying foreign stars, and are
ready to offer francs in abundance to secure
the presence of our crack players. The ad
vent of the holiday season always brings a
great boom in billiards in Faris, and the
offer of the French capitalists indicates that
there is a bigger boom just now than ever
before.
The news of the willingness of the French
men to put up cash to secure American
talent came on Thanksgiving Day, and was
a big surprise. It shows that they have
planned something unnsual for over there
lor the coming year if they can woo our
players across the ocean. The offer that
was directed to the Brunswick-Balke-Col-lender
Company, is in snbstance as follows:
Pakis, November 12, 1S9L
There has just been started in Paris a vast
billiard ball called The New Circus, in which
3Iesr. Vignanx, Gibeltn, Gamier and other
professors of renown play matches. I am the
proprietor of the Cale Adolphe. Ihaveas
assistants Messrs. Fournil, Care and other
profeors ot like renown. I started tins
billiard ucadenry about a year ago, audits
success has been bejond my expectations.
In order to compete with tbc'olher academy
1 ish to secure the services of Mr. Schaefcr
or Mr. Slosson, and will guarantee either of
them 100 francs a day net during six months,
provided thevwill come over and play in
my hall. In default or cither of these gentle
men to conic over, I make tho follow Inp
proposition to Mr. Carter or Mr. Ives: To pay
either of tlicin 60 francs a day net, plus 3 per
cent ot the prollts of the matches.
I will be gicatly obliged to von, gentlemen,
if you will inform me immediately by cable
pram w bcthcr any of these gentlemen will
conic over. If Ml. Schaefcr or Mr. Slosson
decide to come, I can ai range matches w ith
jir. kicnaux wiucli will oe or general in
terest, as. the game of billiards is now very
popular. Yours tiuly,
A. Choukah.
George Slosson, who is the only Ameri
can who ever defeated Vignaux on his own
ground in Paris, received notification of the
offer, and immediately replied that he was
willing to go to France and exhibit his skill
against the French cracks, but lie raised
considerably ou jr. Choumar's figures. This
is the Student's reply:
"I wi II go to Paris for a six months' en
gagement, beginning January 1, 1892, 181
days, provided Monsieur Choumar deposits
with the Brunswick-Balke Company, on or
before December 18, the sum ofHO.SGO."
This is at the rate of ?fi0 a day, and Slos
son agrees to pay his own expenses. He
said last night that he could not leave his
business in this city for that length of time
for less compensation. He added: "I know
the project which M. Choumar has in hand.
There is a fortune in store for him if he can
secure the presence of Americans as com
petitors in his exhibitions. Auction
pools are made on each one of
these games, and the proprietor of the
hall deducts 10 per cent commission on all
wagers. They are great betters over there,
and on matches that might be made with a
competent American player very large sums
of money could be netted by Si. Choumar.
But his offer of ?20 a day is "not enough to
attract the right kind of talent. It is not
what Vignanx got to come over here, and
less monev is not likely to tempt American
talent. The offer of Mr. Choumar gives
away the secret of the unwillingness of
French stars to come to America. Theyare
making too much at home."
Maurice Daly has received similar liberal
offers through Albert Gamier, and Slosson
says that he has been informed that the
French capitalists are ready to put up a
purse of 510,000 for a tourney in Paris, pro
vided the American cracks compete.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE TUBE.
Garrison's Case Attracting Considerable
Attention Among Turf Patrons.
New York, Nov. 30. Special The
interest in racing circles is now centered
upon the Board of Control. "Within the
next few weeks the leading jockeys will be
applying for their licenses, and there is
widespread interest in knowing how many
of them will be refused. Members of the
board announced last spring when licenses
were issued to a number of suspicious char
acters that they were simply admitted on
probation. The board was to give every
body a fresh start and a clean sheet Their
future would be in their own hands.
It is known that for some time members
of the Board of Control have been quietly
investigating the conduct of some suspected
jockeys, and the names of half a dozen are
quoted as being among those to whom no
license will be given.
Garrison's case, is attracting especial in
terest. He has recently signed a two
Tears' contract with Marcus Daly, the mil
lionaire copper king, at a large salary. Of
course the contract will be valueless unless
he receives his license: and the chances of
his getting a license are bv no means rosy.
The Board of Control will be more power
ful next season than it has ever been. It is
now almost certain that the "Western clnbs
will recognize its rulings; and it will be al
most impossible for a jockey without a
license to earn a living. Bergen's friends
will make a strong effort to secure his rein
statement on the plea that he does not want
to ride here, but in England, and that, as
his suspension was not on account of fraud,
it would be unjust to keep him from making
a livelihood in another country.
Among the probable applicants for a
license is "Sammy" Loates, the queer-looking
little English jockey who was here last
summer. He will not apply, however, un
less he is reinstated by his own turf author
ities. Loates is an unusually shrewd fellow
and is one of the best jockeys in Englani
STILL AFIEB FLA7ESS.
Local Ball Clnb Agents Rnstling, Bat
Boyle Beported TJncanght Yet.
If Mark Baldwin is trying to sign Jack
Boyle for the local club nothing definite
was done in the matter yesterday as far as
Director Kerr knew. Ah Buckenberger,
during a conversation, stated that Denny
Lyons may be the man who will be cor
ralled. Lyons has signed a contract with the Chi
cago Association Club but there is some
thing defective about it and Buckenberger
thinks that Lyons will ignore it and come
to Pittsburg. The local' directors on the
other hand think that Boyle will be cap
tured by them. It is to be'hoped he will.

town, has been here with a view of arrang

Along the Wharves.
Nothing along the wharf yesterday denoted
great activity. The scarcity of towboats, and the
lact that most of the coal Is out made river matters
only mediocre. The cold weather has had a ten
dency to canse lower water, and the stage at C
o'clock was 9 feet and falling. Tbe packets were
the most animated of the craft, and were liberally
patronized, both by passengers and freight ship-'
pers.
Little Dick got out with Ave boats for Louii

THE Twilight took out six boats and two barges to
Louisville yesterday for Jutte A Sons.

Toe Ecvstona State arrived yesterday mornlntr
and departed for Cincinnati In tbe afternoon.
There is according to some people's judgment
between 3,000,0(10 and 4. 000,000 bushels of coal still to
go out.
THE Adam Jacobs was the np-river packet yes
terday afternoon. She was well loaded down with
freight. .
THE wharf boat of Beno Brother;, which was

chester being overhauled.
THE Little BUI, with Ave boats, broke an engine

The demand for coal has not abated In the South
ern markets. It readily brings 10 cents a bushel at
Cincinnati, and a cent or two more at points be
low. Pkbsent yourself with a new brass bed,
or let us have your order for a handsome
chair. Time is short. Upholstery depart
ment can't promise much more work for
