K rEClAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCII.
Uett Tobk, Dec. 20. Princeton and
Harvard are good friends again. The two
old rivals have settled their little quarrel',
and taken solemn vows to be good to each
other in the future. It was in the "Windsor
Hotel on Saturday, after a formal meeting
of the Princeton delegates stCC. Cuyier's
office, that the crimson offered her hand to
the orange and black, and the latter gladly
accepted it. There was a good warm shake
all round, but not till the old controversy
w reviewed, and Princeton told Harvard
how unkind and unjust she had been to her,
and how good she had been to Harvard, and
vice versa. Harvard also reminded Prince
ton of the wrongs she had done her, and
Princeton said she was not alone in tais re
rpect. Then the bvl and the good of Har
vard were put against the bad and the good
of Princeton, and it was found that both ao
counts were about balanced.
IJnriedthe Pa?t
So both mutually agreed to bury their
books and forget all the past unpleasant
ness written in them and to remember only
old friendships, and thus to create and
footer new ones. After these solemn ex
rrcie the field was clear for business,
Princeton's stand from the beginning has
been, that as Harvard would not meet
Princeton outside of New England. Har-
lard must take the initiative to bring about
a settlement of their disputes and friendly
contests between the two colleges. From
th: position Princeton has refused to re
cede. It meant the rescinding of the
noxious Xew England rule passed by
Harvard a couple of years age. Prince
ton had avocd the willingnesz to ac
cept Harvard's challenge for gnrues cither
of baseball or of football when that should
come under fair conditions as to place of
meetincr, etc. Harvard yielded these points
at yestcrdav's meeting. Her representa
tives uere Frof. Ames, Messrs. "Win'low,
Trnfiord and Frothingham. The latter two
being the captains of the football and base
ball teams respectively Princeton was
represented by Prof. Sloane, President of
the Committee on Outdoor Sports; C C.
Cuyler, of the Graduate Advisory Com
mittee; Max Farrand and James P. "Parker.
Presidents, respectively of the football and
baseball associations. The Harvard repre
sentatives annulled the Sew England rule
consenting to come to Princeton in the
spring to play baseball and in fall to play
footbalk
To Arrange Raseball Dates.
This was perfectly satisfactory to Prince
ton. It was also agreed that committees
from both colleges meet and arrange the
dates for a series of baseball games. It is
probable that one of the games will be
played at Cambridge. As to playing the
football game at Princeton, that has not
been decided so difinitely. Both colleges
consider the matter of gate receipts which
bad not been nearly so large at either
Cambridge or Princeton as in Xew York,
but it Is almost certain that the first foot
ball game w ill be jilaj ed at Princeton.
The announcement to-day that the two
colleges had agreed to meet in baseball and
football and moreover that Hanard had
agreed to plav at Princetou, created some
surprise, and Mas haile! with great satis
faction The students discussed the ques
tion all day, the controversy was reviewed,
and all were agreed that Princeton had
taken an honorable stand from the begin
ning, and that the outcom-. of the contro
vcrsyis proof of that fact. Due credit is
also given to Harvard, and no one feels lor
an instant like saving anything to nnr the
fiienalv relations established by yesterday's
convention.
KKOCKED EIH OUT.
Hall, the Australian I'unishcs Ferguson,
llw Stockjnrd Man, Terribly.
Chicago, Dec. l'l. Jii.i Hall, the Aus
tralian middle-weight, and Bob Ferguson,
the stockyards hcavv-weight, had a bloody
set-to last night at Patter- D before 3,000
people. The affair was engineered by Par
son Davies, and Hall's contract was to stop
the giant in ix rounds. Both men were in
good condition, and the gloves used were
not too large. Hall was conceded to be
grcatlv Ferguson's superior in science, bnt
the iatter's admirers pinned their faith on
the stoctyards man's great strength and
&ire.
The Australian led from the start, and
promptly smas-hed Ferguson in the face
twice almost bclore the sparring bad fairly
begun. Another stinger followed on Fer
guson's javr, and was succeeded later on bv
a pile driver on the noe The giant worked
like a Trojan, but practicallv never touched
Hall in the first round The second was
spent in sparring for wind. Ferguson's face
looked like a beefsteak. In the third heavy
slugging again ensued, and the giant's
bloody face and neck and liouIders"beean
to present a Jrightful appearance. The
fourth round began with Ferguson hemmed
in his corner by Hall, who was smashing
Ferguson right and left. Suddenly the
iant cot a corker in the jaw and dropped
in a heap, though not unconscious. At this
point the fight was stopped by the police.
Xo decision was rendered bv the referee.
SLAVIN TO SULLIVAN.
Tho Australian " ill Give John T.. Three
3Iout!t to Get Keadv to Fight.
Nr.w Yonrc, Dec. 20. The pugilists
Trank 3 Slavin and Charley Mitchell
came ashore from the stenmer Britannic to
day. Slavin said his object in coming here
was to fight. "lam not on a pleasure trip,"
he continued. "I am the ferret after the
rcbbit, and have come to his hole to find
him." In answer to other queries he said:
Jly first puipose is toairaiigoaflghtwith
Sullivan. I put him first because ho is, in
1113 opinion, the bot man on this side. I
will fight under any rules, tn any place, in
any state where a guarantee will be given
that Mitchell w ill not be molested. I w on't
go wheieheiH in danger of an est. That's
mv only objection to JJew Orleans, twill
tifrhs for 1 stake of from 200 upward, and
betorethc club otTi'nng tho larjret pure.
I wi.l aive Sullivan three months, u suffi
cient time anv ono will tell you, for a man to
fit hii'ibclf. It I can't arrange a ro with Sul
livan, tnen I will flciit anvbody else who
tl.mks ho 's a pood one. If I did not think
J could w hip Sullivan I would not bother
bin.
Mitchell said:
I am not here to flcht, but will meet Cor
bet! in a ten lonnd glove contest at anv
place in New YoikCity for a purse. I will
lo this just to give Jim a chance to
evliibit some of those newlv developed
po-vers of bis. Slavin will meet him in a
glove contest or with knuckles to a finish,
and in case of our failure to arrange with
sulliv ai. w c would like to hear from him.
NEW LEAGUE PLANS.
J, TV. Spalding Explains the Question of
Snnday Hall Games.
New York, Dec 20. Special During
a eonv crsation on baseball matters to-day J.
W. Spalding said:
"The .10 per cent division is all right Ho
Sunday games will be scheduled, but, as St
Louis and Louisville have always played
Sunday baseball, if anv team will play in
those cities on Sunday there is nothing to
prevent them doing so. I think that, as in
the pa't, the clubs that have refrained from
Sunday games will continue in that course,
and St. I.onli and Loniivllla will play
among themselves. Tho matter li optional.
Regarding the double championship season
the Schedule Commltteo has been instructed
to draw up a schedule on those lines. There
is one thing that critics of a 12-club League
seem to forget In referring to the Ameri
can Association failure of 1884 they fail to
remember that the original eight clubs were
not very strong, and to them were added
four decidedly weak ones. In the present
case clubs are located in the 12 strongest
baseball cities in 'America and the teams
are made up of the cream of the baseball
talent of the country. "When such a league
has failed it will be time to say that a 12
club league cannot succeed."
NOT VEBY WELL PLEASED.
Eogera and Reach FDd a Little. Fault With
the ?few League.
Philadelphia, Dec. 19. Special
President A. J. Reach and Colonel John L
Kogers, of the Philadelphia club, arrived
home from Indianapolis yesterday. Eeach
is not very enthusiastic over the new
League. He mourns the loss of the con
tract for furnishing the official ball to the
American Association, which is said to have
been worth S25,O00 to him.
Colonel Rogers intimates that the num
ber of clubs will be reduced after the first
year. The Colonel says the new League
will cost 513,000 and no more, and will be
known, tor short, as "The National
League."
The Bvrne resolution permitting all
League clubs to charge 25 centB admission
to certain portions ot their fields will proba
blv be repealed, and it will then be made
obligatory upon the members of the new
League to charge 50 cents. He said it
would seek to control baseball in all parts
of the country by organizing a Central, an
Eastern and a Western League.
The monopolistic character of the new
League is thus made manifest. Baseball
circles in this city do not look with favor
upon the new organization. A well-known
sporting man said to-night that President
"Williams, of the Chicago Association club,
would have an opposition league in the
field by April L Clubs are already assured
in Chicago, St Louis, Columbus and Buf
falo, and parties in this city are out looking
for a new ground.
Baseball Notes.
If Farrell comes hero Briggs and Murphy
will certainlj have to go.
Itkksk IJno ell saj s Farrell will certainly
play in Chicago next season.
It i understood tint the local club has put
tn a claim for Pitcher Killen.
The Cleveland club did not ask for a
single player at Indianapolis.
1atios of the local club are qnite content
to accept Farrell iute id of Grnnm.
The waiters for bij salaries have really
gotten the worst of tho deal this time.
It must be verv tiresome for Mr. Itusie
w ben ho finds bo has to pliv in New York.
Majy people think that there will not bo
a 12 club circuit at the end of next season.
If all minor leagues have to be under con
trol of the 12-club league then, indeed there
vv ill be a monopoly.
It might have been very much better for
Ad Gumbert if he had signed for next sea
son sev eral w eeks ago.
CLrnsofthe 12-club league that do not
countenance Sunday games will have murt
the w orst of the bargain.
The statement of Colonel Rogers to the
effect that some of the 12 clubs will be
dropped, is very significant,
AVhea the Cincinnati club offered to sign
Pitcher James Kecnan for 192 at his last
season's princely silarv ho imperiously de
manded an inci ease of $"00. lie will now be
luckv to get $509 less. Sometimes people are
greedy and bite oil more than they can get
uown tueir tin oats.
ANnnow m Cincinnati theyaro calling it
John T llrtish's pet scheme of tho double
championship season. Why, bless your dear
soul, ex-President White, of tho Eastorn
League, put the scheme into operation be
foie Mr. Brush ever heard of it Isn't that
so, John T.? Sporting Times.
Tnvrisn. good idea to relieve pitchers
from the dutv of going to the bar, makimr
base lnt, triples and home runs, nnd wear
nig out their breath uselessly. Thevate
underpaid, anyhow. Xow, if they could bo
granted a half-holtdav occasionally it would
bo nothing less than humane Snorting
Times.

Most of thejcarling trials are over, and
some fast spins are reported. Brookdale's

James Rowk, the well-known horseman
and starter, and Frank Clarke, of the Coney
Island Jockey Club, are in Chic igo. It is
rumored that ltowe may be engaged in
Marter Sheridan's place by the ashington
PaikClub.
levf of the 20 trotters that have beaten
2.11 made their fastest recoids over kite
shaped tracks against time. Of the other 15
who made their best marks over regula
tion tracks, Pliallas, S:13$, alone got his
recci d 111 a race.
Mil. Scttoa says that a new fall trotting
circuit is w ell under way. It will consist of
Altoona, Du B01-, l'unxsutavvney, Indiana,
Greensburg, Wilkcsbarre, Pittsburg and
other good points. All tho places named
ha e good tracks.

Budd Doble will have Direction, 4, by Di
rector Lulu Wilkes, in his 1S12 string. The
colt is a perfect double for Direct, 2 00, ex
cept in colon he is a bay and a fast pacer. J.
II. Oglebv. of Kansas City, who owns Mc
Doel. 2 loli, has just bought him in Cali
fornia. Teuton, the sensational "Western hoise,
w ill be trained again next spring. If he lets
down then he will be retired, his pi esent
owners, Hollowav & Murphy, intending to
sfirt a small breeding stud ot their
own in Kentucky. Teuton at his best was a
greit horse.
With Budd Doble Mai vin thinks there is
not as much advantago in tho kite's form as
far as speed is concerned us Is popularly
supposed. The ova! tiacks dressed and
planed as Marvin dr-sgd and planed tho
Mockton mile and Williams the Indepen
dence track must be pioductive of speed.
The noted horses Tcnny, Longstieet and
Tournament are so badly off in their "under
pinnings" that they aro not likely to ever
race again. The hill at Moiris Park is
generally blamed for all thiee fiascos.
Longstrcet will probably go to McGratlnana
stud farm. Just who would take Tennv,
with bis ungainly form and cuatio
disposition, is uncertain. Tournament will
probably be retained as a sire by his owner.
There is a sligfitly strained condition of
affairs between Kmplojer Ruppeit and his
trainer. Leigliton, over tho sale of tho
$11,00J Dandiu Dinmont yearling. It seems

his cmplojer, giving him until bun day after

ing Leighton sold tho colt to Allen for
$10,000, and a few hours later Employer Rup

GHASTLY APPETITE 0? A GIBL.
She Greedily Drinks llloocl Whenever She
Can Obtain It.
Kearney, Xeb, Doc. 20. The 6-year-old
girl of a farmer named Smith, llvms & few
miles from this place, has recently devel
oped a most remarkable appetite which is
alarming the parents and puzzling the local
physicians. The appetite is for fresh blood,
which, the child seems to prefer warm from
the creatuie supplying it. She is of a slight
appearance, with fair hair and blue eyes
and has a shrinking disposition, dreamy
and languid and inclined to be nervous.
For some days befoie her appetite was
noticed she became torpid and very much
averse to any movement. She was supposed
to bo ill, and a physician called to sec her.
She refused to take either medicine or nour
ishment, and her mother, thinking to tempt
her to eat, killed a chicken for her. As she
hold the bleeding fowl in her hand, little
Ernestine sprang upon her, wrenched the
chicken fiom her hand, and, applying her
lips to the gory neck, sacked the warm
blood.
The horrified physician and mother at
tempted to take it fiom her, but she fonght
savagelv for it, and, fearing her reason
might give way, the doctor told her parents
to let her have It. Atter she had finished
her hideous meal she threw herself on the
flooi and fell into a deep sleep, fi nm which
she did not awaken for 21 hours. On awak
ening, she appeared to bo her natuial self,
and had no recollection of what had oc
curred. Since then tho attacks have oc
curred at intervals of three -weeks, and on
the advice of the physician, she is given
some treshly killed animal or fowl.
