THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 5, 1891.
YALE SHOCKING,
Her Football Management Yet on
the Warpath About the Thanks
giving Game Divvy.
THE ATTENDANCE EXAGGERATED.
A Movement to nave Cash frizes for Ama-
tenr Athletes Instead of the
Present Custom.
S TFEFFEK AND HART HAVE SOME WORDS.
J$hW Jlniyhy Talks Abort His Proposed Kaltle
General Sportm? Jiews cf the IV.
rsrrciu telgi:k to the nirATCit.l
tw Yoijk, Dec. 4. There is a lively
tus-of-war going on between the Yule, foot
ball management and the "Manhattan Ath
letic Club rclathe to the receipts of ihc big
football game on Thantsgn ing Day. It is
difbcult to say how matters will end.
Manager "Wright. "WaltarCamp and every
other ailvior and participant in the foot
ball executive work abolntely refuse to
Kay a -word. They have latch shown a mis
anthropic tendency toward new pauers and
say that not until they lme settled this
football question will its inner workings be
revealed. However, it is just about as the
ITorM put it to-day. " ale wants $17,000"ns
her share of the proceeds, and the check of
the Manhattan Club for $14,000 was refused
as payment in full. This is S",000 more
than the Manhattan people evince any in
clination to give up.
They Discussed the Matter.
" Manager "Wright and Heflelfinger went
down to Xcw YorK last night and conversed
long and earnestly with Captain S. J. Cor
nell, of the Manhattan A. C , but the case
is still in a chaotic state, as the glumness of
the Yale moguls to-day shows.
Around the college the general sentiment
is for sticking up for Yale rights and claim
ing a squaring up on a basis of an attend
ance of32,000 people. "Whether the M. A.
C. will secure the contract for another year
is doubtful. So far there is no sign of yield
ing on the part st the New Hacn end.
AVell-informed persons doubt the wisdom
of Yale's action. On the dav following the
game there was a decided variance in the
newspaper estimate of the size of the crowd.
One or two journals placed the figures at
40,000 The World estimated the crowd at
30,000, but this estimate included at least
0,000 people on the surrounding bluffs.
Undoubtedly there were 1,000 persons, in
cluding officials, policemen, plavers and
newspaper men admitted free. This esti
mate, which is liberal enough, would bring
the number of paid admissions down to
2.5,000. The club has offered to pay the
colleges on a basis of 22,000 spectators
514,000 each to Yale and Princeton.
They Are Kapacions People.
College football managers are rapacious
persons. Each one strives to make a better
financial showing to the association than
the man who preceded him. Last year
Manager Sears, of Yale, received about
?ll,2,"i0 as his share of the Thanksgiving
Dai receipts at Eastern Park, Brooklyn.
Manager "Wright this year wanted to im
proeon Mr bears' efforts He did. The
club offered him a checc foi 514,000 neaily
?.i,000 more than the receipts of a vear ago
AVhilc there is rivalrj among the college
managers, there is 1. mach siff;: among
organizations wl'ich have grown big enough
to accommodate the Thauksgiiiug Day
crowd Ibis season the Manhattan Athletic
Club, the New York Uieball Club, the
Brookhn Itaseball Club and the Berkeley
Athletic Club tried to secure the eame.
.Last i car the Brooklyn Baseball Club got
it. This vcar the Manhattan Athletic Club
'was successful, and as there bad been some
speculation as to the ability of the club to
accommodate the crowd, its omcials were
especially act ue in impressing upon new s
paper men that the crowd on Thanksgiving
Dav was much larger than the one of" last
car at Eastern Park. Tl.ey overdid the
business The World had three leporters on
the field who are familiar with the capacity
of Manhattan field and who are experts in
judging the size of big crowds. Thev agree
that "5,000 people weie certainly all who
litre in the mclosure on the 2Gth ult.
Last night it was s3Id Captain Cornell
had gone to the Catskills for a few davs.
"Wednesday night he had a conference with
Manager Wright and Mr. Hellelfinger, the
celebrated left guard. Mr. Hcflelfinger's
presence aroused some comment. Some
bodv said he came down to work the "V"
trick on Captain gammy but he didn't.
He simply came to town for more pie.
Princeton satisfied.
Princeton-, X J., Dec 4 Special
The managers of Princeton Football Asso
ciation are not in town. The Chairman of
the committee of the facultv on athletics
said to-dav he knew of no dissatisfaction
over football receipts If there was any
dissatisfaction he thought he would ha"e
known about it.
THE MILWAUKEE TROUBLE.
President Gillette, of the Ball Clnb, Re
quested to stppDown and Ont.
MiMVAVKi-.n, Wis., Dec. 4 At a meet
ing of the director of the Milwaukee Base
ball Club last night, President Harry Gil
lette was requested to resign the office,
which he did. The trouble had been brew
ing for some time. A majority of the
directors have been set against Gillette for
the manner in which he handled the afiairs
of the club, and claimed that he was too
extra agant when he paid 50,000 for a fran
chise in the American Association, as it was
well known that Milwaukee could hae
gotten in free. The directors say they want
a man at the head of the club who lias had
exptrienee in such matters.
It is understood that President Gillette's
tuccessor will be a lery prominent brewer ot
this city and who ha plenty of capital.
Gillette announced to-day that he would re
tire irom baseball iorever, and that all the
btock he ho'ds in the Milwaukee club would
be disposed of to his successor at (53 cents
on the dollar. Mr. Gillette was elected to
tne presidency of the club last summer
after the resignation of Willism Furlong.
He mide himself very popular shortly
afterward by engineering the dial whereby
Milwaukee wai admitted to the ranks of
the American Association.
HAD A FEW "V70EDS.
rred PfefTerand .Tim nart Express Opinions
on home Matters.
CHICAGO, DccJ. Special Fred Pfefier
and President Hart,of the local League club,
thoroughly understand one another nowa
days. The first of the month Fred tramped
into Spalding's to collect his monthly
check. Then he and Hart reached an under
standing. Fred denonnced the League action in
taking Jennings and Taylor, two men under
contract to the Louisville club. President
Jim thought Fred was setting a bad ex
ample bv jumping his contract with the
Chicago club
Then followed a lively discussion, in
which Pfefier maintained lie was not bound
bv any contract, and Hart held just as
closely to his claim that he was. When the
pair parted Hart served -notice on Pfcfler
that he could be enjoined from playing with
the Association club, and that the matter
would be pushed right to the end. Fred
declared that he was ready for a bitter
fight himself, and some lively times axe
ahead.
Brush in Cincinnati.
Cixcixnati, Dec. 4. Special. John
T. Brush, President of the Cincinnati
League club, ran down from Indianapolis
yesterday. lie was only in the city a few
hours. His mission here was of a private
nature, and he was not loqg in transacting
his business. President Brush returned to
Indianapolis last evening. He had a short
talk with ex-President A. S. Stern about
the future ot the club. There is a brilliant
prospect that ex-President Stern will be
interested in the club next season.
WANT CASH PBIZES.
A Representative or the L. A. W. Say a
Few Words on the Matter.
NnwYoEK, Dec. 4. Special. Person
ally Charles Luscomb, the representative of
the L. A. W. on the committee appointed
by the Central Board of the A. A. U. to se
lect a class of prizes to be awarded at ath
letic and bicycle meets, says he is in faior
of cash prizes.
He believes that the word "amateur," as
applied in many cases at present, is out of
place, and suggests a rather novel way out
ot the difficulty. He suggests that the
League and A. A. U. form two classes, gh
ing cash prires to one class of men and med
als and certificates to another.
"As the matter now stands," said Mr.
Luscomb jesterday, "the League gucs
prizes of pianos, wash bills and other
things which no man who is an amateur
should compete for. In my opinion racing
men would much rather ride for money than
any other prize.
"From my experience in League racing I
shall strongly advocate the class system.
The League, of course, will hold strict juris
tion over the class as well as the amateur
class. Ihacno doubt that this will be
the final judement reached not only by the
League but by the Amateur Atliletic
Union."
JOHNNY HUBPHY'S VIEWS.
The Boston Pugilist Talks About His Pro
posed Fight With McCarthy.
Boston; Dec. 4. Special. Speaking
of the Olvmpic Club of 2sew Orleans offer
of a 2,000 purse for a fight between himself
and McCarthy, Johnnie Murphy says: "I
have been considering proposals from the
California Club which, though not so tenant
ing as this New Orleans purse, are still in
the air. I should not care to decide this
last matter off-hand. I wonld prefer to
wait until something was done out West.
As a natter of fact, I have been talking
with friends in New Orleans of a fight with
McCarthy lor a ?2,500 rure, and I think
the fight is well worth the money. Wc
have fought before, are evenly matched,
and as a fight it would be one ot the finest
in the business. There will be no trouble
arranging the fight, though.
"As I said before I cannot sav anything
about it now. I would want about three
weeks to train. The California business
promised to be interesting. There was talk
of an unknown, whom I thought might be
Billy Murphy, of Australia, being pitted
against me. He would just be my meat,
and if there is anything in it I don't want
to spoil the fun."
WILL GO TO ENGLAND.
Campbell, the Lawn Tennis Champion, to
Tackle the Britishers.
Boston, Dec. 4. Olivers. Camppell. the
champion lawn tenuis jdayer of America,
has decided to cross the water about the
middle of this month, with several other
Xew Yoik tennis men.
Campbell will meet all the crack players
of England, France and Ireland.
A game for the championship of the world
will probably take place. The best judges
ot the game in this country consider our
players slightly inferior to those abroad,
but are of the opinion that if they improve
in the next five years as fast as they have in
the last the, American tennis players will
be ahead of all others.
Campbell will probably meet W. J.
Hamilton, champion ot England and Wales,
and also K. W. Lew is, the Irish champion.
Campbell will naturally play under a dis
advantage, as lie will not be accustomed to
foreign courts, and the disagreeable climate
will also have its effect on him.
Sports at Homewood To-Day.
There will be lots of sport out at Home
wood Park-this afternoon. There are three
events on the programme. Kirwin and
Blackley will run a l.jO-yard foot race for
$100 a side: there will be a live-bird shoot
ing handicap, and a quarter-mile foot race
handicap. If the weather is fine the at
tendance will doubtless be large.

A Slight Decrease in the Tolnme of Busi
ness at Pittsburg.
BOTH IRON AND STEEL STILL FIRM
fSPKCIAL TELEGnAMO TIIB DtSrATCH.l
New YoitK, Dec 4. Special telegrams
to Brailstrtet's report quite an irregular
movement ofgeneral trade. The more fav
orable advices are from Boston, Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis and San
Francisco. In Nebraska the late cold snap
caused country merchants to send in mail
orders freely. In Missouri and Kansas,
tributary to Kansas City, the volume of
business is fairly large, and is held well up.
From Boston are received more encour
aging advices, sales of drygoods, woolens,
booft and shoes, leather and rubber, as well
of wool, having increased, with the pros
pect of the improvement continuing into the
new year.
Sau Francisco reports a fairly active
trade, although heavy rains have cut into
it, while encouraging the agricultural
regions of California by preventing a re
currence of a dry season. It is stated that
California wheat prices will probably be
lower; wines promise to be higher, owing to
a short yield.
Trade Only Moderate Elsewhere.
Almost all other cities report only a
moderate volume of business. At Memphis
it is only fair; at Cincinnati it is sluggish,
groceries and provisions, clothing and boots
and shoes particularly; at Savannah trade
is quite dull, as at Galveston, New Orleans
and Baltimore, slow collections and con
tinued depression in the price of cotton
tending to aflect interior buying.
There is also some decrease in the volume
of trade at Pittsburg, where Bessemer pig
has declined to 515 25 per ton. The re
cently added firmness in iron and steel is
visible, but not much more may be claimed.
Pig.iron buyers are inclined to hold aloof
from the market, and makers, who are turn
ing out more ironlhan ever before, continue
to pile up Iron. The condition of the steel
rail industry is rather better, as a good vol
ume of orders have been placed for 1892 de
livery. Anthracite coal is firm, and with future
cold weather will go off freely. The pros
pect is for an output of nearly 40,000,000
tons this year, the heaviest on record.
Few Changes Among the Staples.
Prices of staples this week hae not
shown marked -variation. Wheat is offlj
cents, corn 7 cents, and oats are up 2 cents.
Jtaw cotton is l-16c less on a moderate
demand and free receipts, while wool sold
so freely relatively at a recent cut at Boston
hat the price soon became firmer. Coffee
is unchanged. Prices of live cattle and
hogs are lower on freer receipts at Western
packing points. Eubber quotations are
higher.
Business failures in the United States
this week aggregate 306, against 242 last
week. The total from January 1 to date,
is 11,240, against 9,501 in a like portion
of 1890.
The movement in drygoods at Eastern
cities, notably Boston, is more active The
Christmas trade has created a good demand
( for fancy dress fabrics, prints and ginghams.
In plain and colored cottons there is, also,
better inquiry. For new prints and
ginghams some large contracts hae been
made. Woolen and worsted goods are
more active, but the demand is not as strong
as expected. Farther West no improve
ment is noted , Philadelphia woolen manu
facturers report inquiry dull and prices
unsatisfactory.
Tho Street of Goschen'g Announcement.
Share trading at New York shows a firm
tone and an advancing tendency on mod
erate activity, the market sympathizing
with the improved speculative conditions at
London, due to the announcement of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's plans in re
gard to increasing the English note circula
tion. Increasing railroad traffic and earn
ings and the prospect of larger dividends
also have an effect. At the same time the
Gould shares show weakness, and Richmond
Terminal has declined on apprehension of a
reorganization, in tne early part ot the
week the market was disturbed bv the pe
culiarly bid failure of a stock houEe. Bonds
and investments are in increasing demand.
Silver is active at a sharp advance in
quotations, both speculative and export de
mand being stimulated by the favorable in
terpretation of Mr. Goschen's utterances in
regard to silver. Foreign exchange is firmer
on demand for January 1 remittances and a
decreased supply of commercial bills. Frac
tional concessions were recorded after the
explosion of a dynamite bomb in the office
of Busscll Sage.
Movements of Wheat nere and Abroad.
The total wheat available in the United
States and Canada, both coasts, November
28, equaled 74,371,521 bushels, more than
11,000,000 bushels in excess of the total re-
Eortcd one month ago; fully 17,00,000
ushels larger than was reported December
1, 1890, 11,700,000 bushels more than two
years ago, and 16,400,000 bushels more than
December 1, 1888. Stocks of wheat east of
the Uocky Mountains are 41,000,000 bushels
larger than on July 1. In the like five
months of each of the proceding years the
net gain of like available wheat stocks was
as great. There was no corresponding in
crease on the Pacific Coast. Stocks of
wheat in Europe and afloat, therefore, on
December 1, were 14.500,000 bushels larger
than on November 1.
The total available trheat in the United
States and Canada afloat lor and in Europe,
as cabled to Eradstrcct's show s an increase
of 25.500,000 bushels in November against
22.2GQ.000 bushels increase in October, and
as compared with 25,000,000 bushels increase
in September. The wtek's exports of wheat
and flour from 11 ports equal 5,OG2,000
bushels, a noteworthy increase.
The Bank Clearings for Last Month.
November's total volume of bank clear
ings at 44 cities is $4,880,698,304, or 5 6 per
cent less than in November, 1890. This de
crease is not quite as great proportionately
as was the decline of clearings generally
during October last, as compared with that
month in 1890. New York City's Novem
ber clearings total was 52,948,260.909. or 8
per cent less than in November, 1890. The
activity in the share market in November
and December last year due to financial
complications abroad, produced a volume of
transactions not likely to be exceeded in a
like portion of this year. For 11 months
bank clearings at 44 cities aggregated $50,
440,194,810, or 8 4 per cent less than in a
like portion of 1890.
R G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: The only change observable in
the condition of business is a gradual im
provement of many branches of trade, and
some iiupruveuiciib is ijuiic siuisiactory.
One sign of an unfavorable character is that
collections at some points are slower and
harder than usual, particulaily 'where the
low price of cotton leads holders to defer
selling as long as possible.
Collections Satisfactory in the West.
But at the principal Western points
Chicago, St Louis, Cincinnati and St. Paul
collections are very satisfactory. The
larger trade centers report most lavorably
in that respect, and there is less difficulty
in.Eastern cities, though at the South some
embarrassment continues. Money is not
particularly stringent anywhere, though
rather close at Nashville and Montgomery.
The official reports show that the volume
of all kinds of currency in actual circula
tion was $1,577,000,000 December 1, against
51,564,000,000 Novemberland 51,505,000,000
a year ago. The increase, both for the
month and for the year, has been mainly in
the form of gold certificates and new treas
ury notes.
'rim cnprnlative markets hava inAeA
downward, on the whole, although wheat is
nnehanged in price, with sales of 28,000,C00
bushels here during the past week, and the
receipts continue at the rate of over 7,000,
000 bushels weekly, with exports unabated.

TEE SECRET OF ABSINTHE.
Wormwood Is the Chief Constituent and
Bad Alcohol Goes In.
San Francisco Chronicle.!
Absinthe is made of wormwood, with the
addition of other aromatic herbs that give
the green color and render the taste more
agreeable. When it is distilled with care
(says a special plea by the distillers) and
consumed in reasonable quantities it is a
beverage tonic and refreshing. But too
much of it should not be taken, even when
it is good, for it contains a high percentage
of alcohol.
Many distillers simply macerate the
wormwood and other herbs and steep them
in cold alcohol made of beets or of grain, by
which means the poisonous oils are ex
tracted from the herbs. These poisonous
qualities and the bad alcohols necessarily
have a bad effect and produce that rapid
and dangerous state of intoxication that
drinkers of absinthe have often noticed in
regard to themselves. A beverage that
operates on the nerves in snch a manner as
to produce instantane'ous intoxication must
necessarily be dangerous, first to the health,
and ultimately to the reason.
