THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, MONDAY, DEOBMBEB 12, 1892. 9 MORE NEW PLAYERS. The local Football Team Secures George Woods and Durbridge. WINTER BASEBALL PLAN AT TUB. Pittsburger, Eetnra From tha'Fast and Talk About Goddard and Haher. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAI A very enthusiastic meeting of the Pitts bore Association Football Club was held at latin's Hotel Saturday evening. The meeting was to discuss the arrangements for the big Christmas game between the local team and the Chicago team. President Tann was in the chair, and in opening the meeting stated that several new members wanted to join the club, some of these applicants being men of national repute as players. The members were ad mitted and among the number were: J. Burbridge, of McKeesport, and George "Woods, of the New Castle team. Both men are first-class plavers, and it is likely they will ht on the team against the Chicago. The collapse of the local football league has allowed these men to join other teams. They were two of the best in the league, and doubtless will be valuable men to the local team. A member of the club said last evening: "Itis certain that Burbridge and Woods will be eiven a trv, and I think they will give satisfaction. President Tanu means to hare a good team, and all players who will not practice will have to stand aside, as there are. now lots of good players in Western Pennsylvania. We have some great teams to come here before next spring is over, and we will need our best men." AH0IHEE ATHLETIC WAB. The A. A. TJ. and National Guard Associa tions Likely to Conflict. New York, Dec. 11. Steeled The proba bilities are that the Amateur Athletic Union has another war on its hands, this time with the Athletic Association of the National Guard. Since.tlis Metropolitan Association of the Union refused to sanction the prizes offered by the Seventh Uegiment Athletlo Association at lis games a year ago, the two organizations have been at swords' point. The Union disqualified all of the athletes who competed in the games and subse quently reinstated several of the men who repented, but the main body are still with out the pale of the Union. Now, almost all or these men as well as many at present in good standing In the Union have entered for the Seventh's games to-night, and as the Metropolitan Associa tion has not sanctioned the ua:ne the prob abilities are that they will all be expelled. Now A. B. George, of Company H, one of the most prominent athletes in the recri ment, together with Lloyd Collls and other prominent militiamen proposes that the iruardsmcn leave the Amateur Athletic Union in a body and lorm a separate organization. The idea is to have all of the regiments in the Stat amalgamate and lorm a body like J the Inter-I ollesiate Association, which is recognized by the Amateur Athletic Union. The advocates of the idea claim that the proposed organization would be supported by all or the athletes In the National Guard and would, perhaps, receive encouragement from the State authorities. Thoy say that the new association would be as powerful as the Inter-Collegiate Association and that the Amateur Athletic Union would be com pelled to recognize it. THE B0ABD OF REVIEW.

A iocal Authority Talks Ahont the Goddard and Maher Contest, Several local sportinj men who W9nt East to witness the Goddard und aiaher flht returned yesterday. One very good author ity said: Goddard is a wonderful man and easily defeated llahcr. The latter could not last long enough to knock Goddard out. The Australian was hit often enough, but hlons had very little 'effect on him. lie is not a first-class pugilist, and he would he unable to defeat Jackson. Coruett or Mitchell, in my estimation. He may defeat flavin, as the latter fights in something like Goddard's style. Slainwill taue morn knocking nut than Sinner, by all means. The contest was a financial success lor the Coney Island Clnb. 1 saw Hall and he is a very likely man. The best judges in the East ure at a loss to come to a conclusion as to who will win be tween Hall and Fitziinmons. Both ate great pugilists and it will he necessary for anybody to think n, great deal before coming to a conclusion regarding their com parative merits. Tnere are also many peo ple who think the two men will nave an un derstandlnc about the purse and the result belore they fight; This may be the case; I don't know." The speaker went on to say that Maher fought gamely, but was badly seconded. WINIJEK BASEBALL. Tale Students to Have Excellent Practice Before Springtime Comes.

Since the conference Mr. Forbes is more satisfied than ever that the two-minute, trotter will be found comparatively in the near future. Nancy Hanks' record is within four seconds of even time, but this represents more to be accomplished than appears on paper. When Nancy Hanks trotted her mile in 2:04 Mr. Forbes made up bis mind that it would be wise to retire hor from the turr and breed her to his stallion. Arton.. He had paid $35 000 for Nancy and the enormous sum of $125,000 for Arion. After due consideration Mr. Forbes has resolved to give Nancy one or two more tries next season on Western tracks.

THE GOLD AND SILVER PARITY And the Attitude of Mccreary and Cannon in Regard to It, KOT HEARING AX I KIKJ) OP AGREEMENT Bbtjssew, Dec. 11. At the meeting of the Monetary Conference yesterday Herr Hans I. Forsell, of the Sweilen and Norway delegation, referring to Congressman Mc Creary's declared preference for a fixer ratio between gold and silver of 16 to 1, asked the Americans if they wonld agree to a ratio of 20 to 1, which would be a hearer ap proach to the present silver value. Sen ator Allison replied that the Americans would prefer a ratio of 16 to 1, but if .agreeable to the European States, the 'Americans might accept a different ratio. 'For himself he thought that silver, using States would most logically adopt the ratio ot 15U to 1. America would accept no ratio unless a sufficient number of gov ernments entered into the agreement to make it effectual The United States delegate, Henry W. Cannon, replying to M. Tirard, of the French delegation, said that he was sur prised at the attitude of the Latin Union delegates, as it v,as supposed in America that the States of the Latin Union being i the largest sil ver holders would' be very friendly to its use as money. But it appears that they were not inclined to join "America in an agreement for its extended use, while Great Britain, without an important quan tity of silver, suggested its pnrcbase lor use as money. Despite this apparent paradoxical state ot things, the Americans still hoped that something wonld be ac complished. He denied that the United States was nnduly influenced in its silver legisla'ion by her silver product. He thought that the proposed purchase ot 30,000,000 ounces of silver annually by Europe, provided that it was an addition to the silver now naturally used, might be a bridge to join the money metals again. America, up to the present time, had had no difficulty in maintaining a parity between gold and silver and intended to maintain it. If, however, silver was to be further dishonored and used the same as paper money, without regard to price, America would still be in an excellent po sition to profit by the state of affairs as has been shown in the conference. A NON-UNION ROW. Ordered to Leave the Place Because He Won't Join the Union. Desveb, Dec. 11, Special'' At Bico, in the southern part of Colorado, the mining popnlace are greatly agitated over the probable outcome of the present labor trouble. The Rico-Aspen Consolidated Company employs over 300 men, all belonging to the miners' union except William Hillman, who has persist ently refused to become a member, al though repeatedly urged to. Last night, while Hillman was asleep, bis room was en tered by over 100 miners. The spokesman demanded to know whether he still persist ed in obstinately refusing to identity him self with the union. Although Hillman was lying in bed, sur rounded by a mob of infuriated men, he positively' refused. Alter being given time to dress he was escorted to the railroad tracks. About this time the town marshal and the mine superintendent learned of the affair and rushed to Hill man's rescue. 'With the aid of four cocked revolvers the mob was repulsed and the "scab" saved the annoyance of .freezing to death. The mine owners have "decided to close down their property unless surea protection irom tne rotate autnori ties.' The town Is ereatly excited, and an outbreak is momentarily expected. IN THE PRESIDENT'S PEW. A Little Incident That Made a Maryland Girl Very. Happy. Washington, Dec 1L ISpeciall The happiest girl in Washington to-night is a young belle of 18 summers, from a mount- I am town in western .Maryland, a descend ant of one of the historic first families of Virginia, that of John Bandolph, of Koanoke. With two resident Washington ladies whom she is visiting in the city, she went to hear Dr. Hamlin preach this morn ing at the unurcn ot tne covenant, Presi dent Harrison's church. Arriving somewhat late, the rear seats usually allotted to strangers being all full, the usher conducted all three ladies far up the main aisle, and deposited two of them in private pews. Then lie looked about to find a seat for the Maryland sir). None was visible, except in the President's pew. He hesitated, but only for a moment, and then promptly led tbe'embarrassed maiden up to the fifth row front, where Mr. Harrison sat with his daushter, Mrs. McKee, and his daughter- in-law, Airs, itussell Harrison. Great was the pleasure of the yonng lady when the President stepped out into the aisle and gracefully handed her into his pew, between himself and Mrs. McKee. A DEADLOCK IN CALIFORNIA If the People's Party Assemblymen Stick to tlio Pledge They've Taken. SAN FEANCISCO, Dec. 1L Special If the eight People's party Assemblymen in the California Legislature stand firm to the 'pledge they accepted yesterday, then it will be impossible to elect a United States Senator from California to succeed Felton. The Ex ecutive Committee of the People's party has secured a pledge from the eight Assemblymen-elect that they will vote as a unit for such a People's party candidate for Senator as the majority ot them shall elect On joint ballot the Democrats lack two of a majority and the Republicans lack six. so if the People's party members do what they pledge themselves to do no majority can" be secured by either of the parties. BETENIEEN ENGINES BUSKED. , A Fire Loss of 8400,000 Inflicted on the Denver and Bio Grande. Salida, Col., Dec IL This morning the Denver and Bio Grand Railroad round house was discovered on fire, and despite the efforts of the firemen the flames, after almost totally burning that building and Its contents, spread to the machine shop, which, together with its valuable plant, was also destroved.

The loss on engines, machinery,, roundhouses and shops is estimated by the' officials at $400,000, but just how much the insurance is not known at present. The burning of the shops throws 100 men out of employment. THE REBELS NOT SUBDUED. A Bloody Ficht Between Garza Men and Mexican Troops. LAREDO, Tex., Dec 11.

Philadelphia, Dec IL Special Much speculation is going on among those distinguished Pennsylvania agriculturists, George W. Childs, A. .7. Cassatt, Don Cam eron, George B. Roberts, A. J. Drexel, A. K. McClure and A. A. McLeod, as to who shall succeed Uncle Jerry Rusk as Secretary of Agriculture What Mr. Cassatt wants is a man who can distinguish a cob horse irom a corn cob, and Colonel McClure would like a farmer at the head of the Agri cultural Department ho could raise canned ..,.. -.. .u. ...j ,n,.i .,.. lr,t I aifnuAHTOws mver 4 reel a incnes ana sia tomatoes from the seed without transplant- I nonary. Weather cloudy. Thermometer UP at id or graviuuK, eggs jruui mc cu'g piaubs, and who could grow straw hats by cross drilling the wheat. A careful consideration of the whole sub ject leads to the conclusion that Farmer William M. Singerly, of Gwynedd, fills the bill more acceptably than any other farmer in Pennsylvania. If Colonel-McClure per sists in refusing the portfolio of the State Department, the Farmers' Club, of Penn sylvania, will soon make a move for Singer ly that will carry everything before it. And why not Singerly for Secretary of Agriculture? 'No man in the nation could do more to improve the breed ot horses, cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, the wheat, corn, oats, rye, potatoes, cotton, grass, the fruits and everything else grown upon American farm lands. With Singerly as Chief Agriculturist, the general quality of farm produce. would soon be advanced to the high standard of "the Record dairy," and the price reduced to consumers. Prom now on Parmer Singerly will probably be- come first choice of the Farmers' Club, ot Pennsylvania, for Secretary of Agriculture. OVfR A CENTTEY OLD.
