Mind Heading.
To-morrow promises to be a great day
a-nonc local football plajers. The great
championship contest between the team of
the Chicago Cricket Club and the Pittsburg
team is causing considerable interest both
in the East and West, and the result is anx
iously anticipated by the-thousands of pa
trons" of the popular winter sport. The
game will give opportunity for judging as
to the relative merits ol Eastern and "West
ern teams as the Pittsburgs arc rated
among the best in this section and the Chi
cagos are udoubtedly the best in the West,
a their record shows. That they are a first
class team there i no doubt. They debat
ed the Thistles by 4 to 1, and hae not so
far lost a game in" the contest for the .Tack
nn cup. In one game they defeated the
Primrose team by 9 to L
The Chicago Team.
A brief skejeh of the players of this fa
mous team and ot the local team will be in
teresting: T. Balli'igall, go.il, is a native
of Dunferline, Scotland, where he played
with the local club as center lorward. Since
cominc- to America he has been custodian
of the Chicago Club's goal, and has filled
the position with much success. Height, 5
feet 0 inches weight, 150.
G. Hendrv, right full back, was born at
Coupar Angus, Perthshire. He has played
football since a boy. He is the best back
in Chicago, being speedy and a very accu
rate kicker
G. A. McFarlane, left full back, was born
atDumbarton, Scotland. He was the most
prominent player in the Dumbarton team
and is a plaver of undoubted ability.
L. Anderson, right half back, has only
recently armed from the "Land o Cakes."
He was born in Dunferline and played
among the winners of the Kifeshire Cup.
G Ballingall, center half back, is a na
tive of Dunferline. Although young, he is
a splendid tackier.
It. T. Atkiu.-on, left half back, was born
in Sunderland. England, where some of the
best football players in the world are to be
found. At one" time he was a famous
Itugby player.
.An Able Captain.
T. Gibson, center forward, is captain of
the team aud it is owing to his remarkable
abilitv that the team have been so success
ful. "He is a Canadian bv birth. In 1888
he visited England with the Canadian team
and there his play was very favorably com
mented upon. By nany he is considered to
share ith Watty Thompson the honor ot
being the best center forward Canada ever
produced.
Coming to the States business prevented
his plaving for a time, but he has now re
corded much of bis form and is playing a
grand game. He is a fine dribbler and an
excellent shot on goal, is a good general
and atall times sets hismen a good example
by playiug a thoroughly sportsmanlike
game.
W. Balter, right inside forward, was
born at Woolwich, England. Formerly he
was a Rugbv player, but lies become an ex
pert in the Association game.
D. B. Law son, outside right, is another
Scotchman irom Coupar Angus. He is a
ne man on the team, aud has done welL
Oni of the Champions.
It. F. Webb, inside left, is a native of
Shrewsbury, England, and was a member of
the town club that wou the championship
cup three jears in succession.
W. McLuckie, outside right, was born
near Kilmarnock, Scotland. He is a good
all round player.
F. Fitzmaurice Kelly, reserve forward,
was boru in the East Indies and is a son of
Colonel Kelly, ot the British army. He is
well known as a splendid cricket player,
and he is a very uselul man on a football
team.
Isaac Attwell, the Pittsburg goal keeper
is by long odds tne biggest man in the two
teams. He stands t feet 2 inches, and
weighs some 230 pounds. Although such
a big man he is 'wonderfully active and can
punch a ball as far as most men can kick it
Possessed of enormous reach it is hard, in
deed, for an opposing team to get a ball by
him.
Powell and Tom Attwell.full backs, have
been, and very aptly too, called Pittsburg's
stone walL Their defence is excellent and
their kicking has otten saved the day for
their side. Powell was a member of the
OldburgTown Club, and afterward Captain
of the famous Showell's team, of Birming
ham. Attwellis a most sturdilybuiltplayer,
Etands 5 feet IK inches and weighs 180
pounds. His kicking powers arc tremend-
ous and very few care to attempt to with
stand his rushes
In Buick, Childs and Joe Attwell Pitts
burgs have a grand half-back force; Buick
on the right is a magnificent player, knows
the game thoroughly and is a beautiful
dribbler, dodges well and kicks with great
accuracy. Childs plays with dash, vim and
determination from "start to finish, while
Attwell on the left is as sure and as pretty
a kicker as there is on the team. All the
forwards with the exception ot ilcEwen are
lightweights.
lie Is a Hastier.
Mathews is as indefatigable on the field
as he is with his secretarial duties. He
and McEwen plaj- excellently well together.
The way they work the ball up on the right
is a treat to see. McEwen is the well
know i inim'r, and was a prominent player
at his home. Thornliebank, Scotland.
O'Brien, inside left forward, is always
there when Manted. He played for his
county (Lancashire) in many a hard fought
battle, and never failed to elicit cheers
from the spectators lor his splendid play.
Joe Wardle, Waldron and O'Brien work
together like a piece of machinery, and
their combination play is a treat to witness.
Each one is as active as a cat, very speedy
and an accurate kicker, and it will take all
the defensive play, of the Chicagos to keep
one orother of the trio from scoring when
ever the ball is in their possession. The
f;a.-ne will be a great one, scientific from the
very outset, and whichever side wins the
victory will not be a bloodless one.
The game will start promptly at 3:30 P.
X. The visitors will arrive in the city to
morrow morning. Alex. Macpherson will be
referee and Messrs. George Macpherson and
P. F. Kelly umpires.

BILLY EAEL'S TSANCS.
Plttsbnre's Kerr Catcher Does a Little
Mind Reading Act of Ills Own.
Ccisati, Feb. 20. Special When Fred
Ffeffer was dreaininjr of the new wotld lie
had to conquer he made an early raid on
Porkopolis and secured Will Hart's name to
a Chicago contract. Biooklyn fished him out
of the pool, but not a woid lias been heard
from Captain Ward. Hart came in from his
sylvan retreat at Bond Hill this morning to
get a glimpse of his oldside partner at Sioux
City Billy Eaile.
"Pittsburg," said he, "has signed a man
who Mill run down foul flies that some
catchers w ould not even think of starting
after. He is a hard woiker. Did you ever
know that Eaile was.u somnambulist? Fnct.
I used to loom with bim and every night he
piles up chaiis in front of the windows so
that lie will stumble over' them If lie takes a
midnight notion to dive down a few stories
to the Mdewalk. I got so that every time he
aiose in his sleep I lollowed suitaml I paired
off. Gcorse Meakin, who has signeu with
Chicairo, doubled up with him after that.
One night while we were at Milwaukee wo
were aroused bj cilesof murder. Bieaking
into Mcikin's room wo round that he was
doing the shouting while Billy Earle. thought
'is wa- going around the world again and
was climbing up the bed post under Hie im
pression that it was a mast! Some of Earle's
mesmeric tents aio startlers but he played a
trick on us one day that made us grab onr
bats.
"'"Write the name of any player on a slip-of
paper,' said be, "roll it up, and by placing It
on my forehead I can tell who it is.'
"It was wi Itten and Earle, to all appeal -ances,
carried the little scroll to his head,
then he tore it up. "I've got to get Into a
trance s.ild he, "before I can lind this out.'
Ho went out into the hall, came back and
gave us tne risht answer. The fellows were
astonished, but be laughed and gave away
the play. By a rapid motion he switched the
panel with the penciling Into his vest
pocket and destroved a blank bit. While he
was getting Into a'trance In the hall be read
the inscription on the scroll."
Grim Not Signed Tet.
Louisville, Feb. 20. Manager Chapman
had a talk with both Grim and Pfeffer yes
terday. Grim is ready to sign, but for some
leason lie has not yet put his name to a con
tract. Pfeffer said he was also ready to
sign, provided that little matter with Jim
Hart was arranged. Manager Chapman Is
anxious to obtain Pfeffer, knowing the
splendid abilities of that player as a field
caDtaln. He also knows bow Fred can fill
grand-stands. Dr. Stucky and Manager
Chapman had a lontr talk yesterday about
the prospects of the club and seeming
Pfeffer.
The Inter-Collegiate League.
J. S. Calvert has been given charge of
arranging a meeting for the reorganizing of
the Inter-Collegiate Athletic League. X
meeting will be held next month. A base
ball league will be formed, and its season

Two new men, Steele and Ritchier will be
among the Western University athletes this
year, and they are expected to equal Gill in
running. B. H. Sineyers has been elected
captain of the University lootball team.
A Braddock City Lragae.
Braddoce, Feb. 20. Special. There- is
some talk of organizing a city league in
Braddock, on the plan of the one in Pitts
burg. It would consist of four clubs, the
Youne Americans, Braddock Grays, Brad
dock Blues and last year's club from the
Edgar Thomson Steel Works, tho "Dinkey
tlub." The latter is a possibility, but that's
all.
ACTS LIKE A C0WABD.
That's What Mr. Slonon Says Abont Cham
pion BUliardlst Jake SchnetTer.
New York, Feb. 20. George Slosson made
a statement last night which was designed
to settle definitely and finally the much
talked of proposition for a three-night
match between Champion Schaeffer and
himself. It was suggested by an intorview
telegraphed irom Chicago. Slosson again
declared that he Siad never made any prop
osition for a three-night match to tho cham
pion. "The only way I will play Schaeffer three
niehts," Slosson said, "is that each night's
play shall count as a distinct and separate
pame, the winner of two to take the money.
These games are to no SOD points each, and
the man who gets 600 first each night Is to be
declared winner of that particular game."
To make this as definite as possible con
cerning the championship game, Slosson
satd he would play the winner of the Schaof-fer-Ives
game either In this city or in Chi
cairo. He would allow the winner $200 ex
penses to play here, or accept the same
money to go to Chicago and play. Slosson
laughed at the suggestion of $75 for expenses
offered by Schaeffer to plav him In Chicago.
"That's the most niggardly offer I evor
heaidof," he exclaimed.
"If Schaeffer should lose," Slosson addod,
"I am willing to play him a side match In
NewY'orK tor$50!)a side, but only on condi
tions that I get a match with Ives for the
championship in the meantime. This is the
sum and substance of w hat I am willing to
do, and I want it understood that these of
fers do not remain open until the Schaeffcr
Ives match is decided. Thoy musrbe' acted
upon at once or I will withdraw them.
"What Is the matter with Schaeffer, anyhow?-'
said Slosson In conclusion. "Why
don't he come out like a man about the
championship, no acts like a coward who
Is afraid to try conclusions where bis laurels
aie endangered. He got $2,300 when he won
the Lenox Lyoeum match. He could make
as much again by defeating ,me. Why
doesn't he offer to play again If he is really
ao confident that he has got a cinch when
he meets me."
A billiard enthusiast said last night it ap
peared to him that Schaeffer was actually
afraid to nlav Slosson airain. "There is a
general belief," said he, "that Slosson Js the
steadier plaver, and that it was only by luck
that Schaeffer won the Lyceum.matcli."
Couldn't Agree.
John Sheehan and Jim Barnes met at this
office last e -ening to make a match to box 15
i.
rounds with small gloves, but they couldn't
come to terms. Sheehau wanted to fight for
$100 a side and a purse and Barnes wanted to
fight for a purse only. They may fight later
on with bare knuckles.
FITZSIMMONS IN TRAINING.
The Tall Australian Doing Great Work In
HU Daily Kxcrclsr.
Bat St. Louis, JUiss., Feb. 20. Robert Fitz-
slmmons has reached 170 pounds, and he is
thoroughly fit to enter the ting to-morrow
and render unto Peter Maheras haid a time
as any pugilist evor had:
To-day's exercise of boxing was with Felix
Vauquelin, ten rounds, and he didn't weary
tho Australian one bit or even wind him for
a second. His exercise to-d.vy was the bald
est he has yet put in, and he seemed to en
joy it all themoie on account of Its severity.
Vauquelin. weighing 215 pounds, bad his
hands far more than full trying to elude or
hit the antipodlnn.
Your con espondent, accompanied by Mr.
Charles Neal, President of the Olympic Club,
pared a visit to the Day to-day to ascertain
Fitzsimnions' leal weight and form, and
this will be tho first authentic news con
cerning Fitzsimnions' avoirdupois. Your
representative held the watch on the
Timarue man to-day and saw him go through
the most ueculiar antics ever seon forfuliy
55 minutes, and sui Drisins at It may seem.
ho wasn't in need of a silver or even a drop
of ale at the finish. His wondeiful has
punching is a treat to witness, and moro
than once tho inflated ball was made to
leave its swivel look and fly out into the
open air. Fitzsimnions Is the greatest ball
fighter that evor trained in these quarters,
not even excepting John L, who worked
near by when he was preparing tor Paddy
Kynn.
There is not much betting done vet, but
the people of New Oileans and tho Bar aie
enthusiastically of the opinion that Fitz
simnions will "whip Maher. Many ol them
forget, however, that Maher Is as yet an un
tried quantity in this countiy and that a
little bit of caution could't possibly hurt In
placing their money.
Bettmc on the Battle.
Local interest in the Fitzsimmons-Maber
battle is becoming exceedingly warm. Yes
terday a considerable amount of money was
invested on the result at this office at the
rate of 6 to ion 'Maher. There is still some
more Fitzsimnions money here to be in
vested at the same rate of odds.
Pngillst Dawson Arrives.

championship races of the Canadian Ama
teur Skating Association this afternoon.
There never was such a crowd, and 5,000 per

the 220 yards. In the five-mile race Donoghue
tried to make Gordon lead, but the latter
persistently refused, as was expected.
Donoghue won everything in which he en
tered, and added the championship of Can

the hour. Gordon, the Canadian champion,
made a bad showing against him.

BROKEN UP AT LAST.-
The Ice Gorge in the Allegheny River
Starts Slowlv Down Stream
WITHOUT DESTROYING ANYTHING.
Will Probably Reach Pittsburg Some Time
This Morning.
NEWST NDTjJS FROM XEaRBI T0W5S
FROM A STArr CORRESPONDENT.!
Parker, Pa., Feb. 20. The town is
ra!e. Without doing the least damage, the
great ice gorge has moved slowly down the
stream, and to-night the Allegheny is prac
tically clear at this point Millions of tons
of ice are now floating toward Pittsburg.
The people there will have a chance to see
what remains of the gorge some time to
morrow morning.
Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning
watchers along the river heard a low mur
muring sound from down the river. Soon
it grew more distinct, and then through the
darkness they saw the surface of the white
mass tremble and then move slowly. At
first tho motion was only noticeable In
the middle of the river. Gradually it
widened and in an hour all the Ice was mpvl
ing except that along the bank. As the
people o( Parker had hoped, the gorge
loosened at the lower end fli st, and fed out
legulaily. The Clinion river held back
until the Allegheny had gotten well under
way, and then part of its Vorge came
down. There being little resistance
then It swung mound nnd started south
without causing any ta-ouble. About fivo
miles of Its ice has not yet moved, but when
It does it will not do any damage.
Turned Ont to See the Break.
The news that the gorge had broken
spread rapidly over the town, and before It
had gotten fairly well started severa
hundied people were watching It . from
the shore. As soon as it became evident
that there was no dnncer tho SDectators
retired to their homes and slept bettor than
they have for a week. To-day the wholo
pop'ulaco Is rejoicing over tho affair, and
the town has a holiday appearance. In spite
of the outward appearance of unconcern
thore had been considerable nnxiety as to
tho outcome, and the result lifted a load
from many a mind.
AH dav the ice kept floating rapidly past,
and it will probably be to-morrow night be
fore it all goes dow n. Now that it is moving
there is a better opportunity to Judge the
size of the' gorge. Twenty feet out from
cither bank the ice still stands in a solid
mass, its edges are cut sharply
off by the current and stands
in many places ten teet above the surface of
the water- Between these white walls the ice
fiomup the river goes tumbling down. The
great cakes grind and ciush each other so
that by the time they reach Pittsburg they
will have"lost their formidable appearance.
They aie traveling about four or five miles
an hour. At 5 o'clock word came that the
vanguard of ice had passed Kittanning.
Floating Down on the Ice.
The trunk of a great oak tree passed here
this afternoon, each end resting on a cake ot
ice. A short distance behind it was a skiff,
carried along in a similar manner. As far as
can bo learned no buildings have been in
jured at any point nloug the river.
Tho 1,000 pounds of dynamite ordered for
use in ease of a jam at the budge here, ar
rived on a special tiain this morning. As
there is now no use for it the whole load will
be returned to Pittsburg as soon as cuoush
money is raised to pay tor transpoitation.
Only $15 has been raised so far, and, as the
danger is all over, there will be considerable
trouble about raising the remainder.

FANCY FARMING IN OHIO.
Wooster University and reople
Now In
Possession of the Station.
Woostkr, O., Feb 20. Special. The peo
ple, of this beautiful little city are very
proud of the fact thnt the new State Agri
cultural Station has been located near here.
For years tho State Experiment Farm has
been near Columbus, where it was located
when the Ohio State University was found
ed. But the encroachments of the capital
city have made the land too valuable to per
mit of its use longer for such a purpose, and
the last Legislature on April 23, 1S91, passed
an act pioviding for its removal, iancy
farming along" scientific lines In always
costly enough, but when the land is worth
upward of $1,000 an acre as was the ca
with the Columbus farm it" becomes reallj
extravagant.
It was arranged thnt the county which
heldont the best inducements should have
the farm. Wayne county got it by voting
$85,000 worth ot bonds for the purchase and
equipment of the farm. It consists of 466
acres and cost the county $125 per acre. The
work on tho buildings isabout to begin, and
the experiment station will soon be in its
newqnaitors. It is planned to spond $40,000
in oniiuings, fwa.uuu tnis spring nnu me re
mainder as Is needed. About $10,000 will
also be expended In lnndseape gardening,
and tho farm will be made one of the most
attractive places in the State. Picnic
grounds will be laid out, and certain days
eveiy summer will be set aside for each
county when it is expected excursions will
be run lor Hie faimers. Tho farm receives
$15,000 a vear from the Federal Government,
and the State usually adds $10 000 or more
beside to carry on the work in a satisfactory
manner.
THE E0UTE OF OHIO'S SHIP CAITAL.
Muskingum River Towns Think Their
Stream Should Be Part or the Syntem.
Zakssville, Feb. 20. Special. The Board
of Trade Jiere has begun to agitate a survey
of the Muskingum river and the Ohio Canal
in connection with General Enoch's bill for
the construction of a ship canal across the
State. The Board of Trade believe there is
but little fear that any commission ap
pointed to make a survey would report in
.favor of any other route than the one that
would include the Muskingum river and the
Ohio Canal from its connection with the
liver at Dresden (a village 16 miles north of
this city) to Cleveland. "There Is really no
more diiect route than this, and the Gov
ernment has about completod placing the
river in a navigable condition at a cost of
nearly $1,000,000.
The residents of all towns along the Mus
kingum are heartily in favor of the proposed
improvements, and will unite in asking Con
gress to at least order a survey of the route
above indicated.
A Train Burled In a Cnt.
Aieos, Feb.sjo Special. A heavy freight
train on the Valley Hallway was wrecked to

Though burled from sight for some time,
both engineer and fireman were safely dug

John Smith is thename of a prisoner who
is locked up at the Central station with a
charge of larceny pending against him. The

divulge the" name of the man who was
rflbbed or any particulars ol the robbery.
The only thing known is that a stranger in
town was robbed of ?85 on Friday night by
two men who were showing him about.
