The contract was returned, but did not bear Gleason's signature. The "Kid" refused to sign the contract because Baltimore wants him to play at a salary reduction of $200. This he refuses to do and will not sign unless he receives his full pay. Gleason is taking the best of care of himself at his home in Camden and says that he will make a record in the box next season. The announcement that Baltimore wants.

to sell him. to Cincinnati, he says, is nothing more than newspaper talk. Gleason would rather play with the Phillies than any team in the League, because he likes to be near home. He takes exercise in a Camden gymnasium and spends some time practicing with "Red" Armstrong, of the Milwaukee team, and Billy Egan, of Syracuse. It is stated by a reliable authority that the Baltimore managers have several very sporty ball tossers on their salary list and they have decided that a player cannot sport and play a gilt-edged article of the national game, so have come to the conclusion that the club is better without the services of such men.

Those who know Gleason are aware of the fact that he likes life, no matter how fast it is, and Baltimore, no doubt, has picked him tp go. When the Orioles won the League race last season, Gleason was "irt it" continually, and had several other men with him, and the club management attribute the defeat in the Temple cup series to the good time the boys had. HINKEY MAKES A SPEECH. He Defends Football and Talks About the Springfield Game. HARTFORD, -Feb.

9. Captain Hinkey, silent man," has really made a speech. He made it at the dinner of the Hartford 5Tale Alumni Association in this city last night and, of course, it was about football. Hinkey said that, in view of the recent attacks on football and the Yale team, a few things ought to be said, not from the present players' standpoint, but that of the former lovers of the sport whose enthusiasm continues. He paid his respects to President Eliot, of Harvard, for his recent attacks on the game.

He quoted from Walter Camp's book, "Facts and Figures About Football," showing, by statistics, that such statements as President Eliot made as to the casualties arid fatalities in the game were absolutely false. The Captain then spoke a few words on "that cruel game at Springfield." Because there were injuries in that game it was argued that there were injuries in all games, but the Springfield game was the black sheep of the flock. Yale did not go In to "do Harvard men up." For what Dr. Brooks said we ought to pity him; he could not have teen in his right mind when he published his statements. He wasn't "Billy" Brooks that Yale used, to know always square and upright.

Captain Hinkey could not see why Harvard does such things as accuse officials of losing' the game to her. She has full voice in choosing those officials, and if things go against her she ought to take her medicine as Yale does and shut up. In an informal talk on football after Hinkey had concluded his remarks, the Yale graduates were as a unit in opposing the playing of further games in New York City, matches hereafter to take place only on college grounds. are the star backs of the team, quick and sure to get the ball away from dangerous ground in time of need. GOOD CENTRES NEEDED.

Upon the centres depends almost the entire game, which positions are filled very acceptably by William Schrach, Robert Dippy and Ernest Spaith. These men are trained to their respective positions to play almost as one man, assisting the forwords in their great goal-throwing efforts. John Hedges, Henry Schoenhut and Loring Schoenhut are, perhaps, the best forwards and goal-throwers in Philadelphia. To attempt a description of some of their wonderful plays is impossible; they are very nearly perfection. Thomas Edwards, the player at home goal, is a marvel.

He has played the game for two years and was captain last year. His throwing is of the highest order, while in agility and endurance he has very few equals in the State. The Germantown T. M. C.

A. team is very proud of the honor of thus far holding the championship of Philadelphia for this season, and expect to be able to retain the same until the close. It will be an exceptionally strong basket ball team that will be able to vanquish them. A STRING OP VICTORIES. Since November the following games have been played and won by the Germantown team: Norristown Y.

M. C. defeated by the score of 3 to Northwest Y. M. C.

24 to West Philadelphia Y. M. C. 12 to Germantown Y. M.

C. A. Reserves, 18 to Pennsylvania Railroad Y. M. C.

28 to 1. The next game will be with the Wilmington Y. M. C. on February 18, in Germantown.

Other interesting games are being arranged for this month. Much of the proficiency attained by the individual members of the crack Germantown team in this popular game is deservedly due to the untiring and able work of Professor Charles O. Heidler, physical instructor of the Germantown gymnasium. He is a young man who has had experience in athletics as instructor of the Troy Y. M.

GEORGE ORTON'S FINE WORK His Magnificent Running? Gives the Race to the ti, linker in 3 Minntes, 24 3-5 Seconds Orton Also Rnns a Dead Heat, With Kilpatrick in the Mile Invitation. Special to The Inquirer. BOSTON, Feb. 9. Mechanics Hall echoed to-night with the cheers of four thousand people at the sixth annual indoor handicap games of the Boston Athletic Association.

Nearly three hundred athletes from the principal colleges and athletic clubs from Boston and Philadelphia, contested. The meet wasthe most successful yet held, and many of the races had close hard finishes. Of the seven team races the relay race between Harvard and University of Pennsylvania was the event of the meet. Harvard presented L. J.

Hil-dreth, W. H. Vincent, N. W. Bingham, and E.

Hollister to struggle with D. Silliman, R. A. Sterritt, S. C.

Boyer and G. W. Orton, of the University of Pennsylvania. Hildreth and Sterritt came to the line at the start and at the shot Sterritt darted ahead, and before the first lap was finished had a good lead of ten feet over Hildreth, which he held till Silliman relieved him on the third lap. A VERY HOT RACE.

Vincent and Silliman had a hot race in the second relay, and the lead of ten feet which Silliman took from Sterritt was gradually pulled down for Harvard by Vincent till he passed Silliman on the last lap and came to the mark with a small margin for Harvard. The third lap was a Halyard race. Bingham got a quick start from Vincent's small lead and by a hot pace got away ahead of Boyer, who got a poor send-off from Silliman. Bingham kept his pace to the last lap and by close work around the corners had a lead of forty feet over Boyer when he touched Hollister's hand for the final heat. ORTON SETS THE PACE.

Orton got a lightning start from Boyer and set a terrific pace. The applause was deafening as Orton, by his great running, began to cover the distance behind the Harvard man. At the upper turn Hollister lost his spikes and stumbled. This gave Orton another good gain and he was now close on Hollister's heels, and the next lap was the hardest-fought race of the evening, the men being together till Hollister again took a bad tumble at the upper turn, and Orton shot ahead with a good lead to the tape. The race was a great one for the plucky Orton, and by his work the University of Pennsylvania won the race in 3 minutes 24 3-5 seconds.

A DEAD HEAT. The mile invitation race proved to be between Orton, the University of Pennsylvania champion of America, and C. H. Kilpatrick, of Union College, N. Y.

Kilpatrick led Orton till the last lap, when the Pennsylvania man, by a wonderful spurt, overtook Kilpatrick in a dead heat at the tape in 4 minutes 41 1-5 seconds. Orton consented to have the cup awarded to Kilpatrick and was presented with a similar one. N. T. Leslie, of the University of Pennsylvania, left the high jump competition with the bar at 5 ft.

92 and M. F. Sweeney failed to break his world's record of tJ ft. 3 3-8 inches. Phillie Stingel, the New England champion, broke his record by a jump of 0 ft.

Talk of Sending a Petition to the New Jersey Legislature. The Active Athletic Association of Camden at its meeting to-morrow night will discuss the advisability of circulating a petition for presentment to the Legislature asking for the repeal of the act prohibiting sparring contests. The laws of New Jersey are very severe on boxing in all its forms whether for a purse or simply a scientific contest with large or small gloves. The club on Tuesday night last was notified by Chief of Police Dodd that the boxing scheduled for its monthly smoker would not be allowed and the aid of Mayor Westcott had to be solicited before the chief's order was recalled. The club is composed of some well-known Camden business men, who propose to know just what their rights are and they are prepared to spend money in finding out.

It is proposed to have the petition circulated in all the social and athletic clubs in the State, asking for the repeal of the law as to friendly bouts in public. The club also intends to assist the workmen of the Pavonia shops. The latter were arrested for boxing during the dinner hour and have carried the matter to the Supreme Court in order to test the legality of the act. SHOOTING AT LIVE PIGEONS. Blake and IIowmoii Divide First Moneyat Monte Carlo.

MONTE CARLO, Feb. 9. The first event in the live pigeon match shoot to-day was a sweepstake with fifteen entries. The purse of 1500 francs was divided between Blake and Howson, who each killed seven out of seven birds. In the consolation match, forty-three contestants, twenty-three birds, the first prize of 2o00 francs was won by Cioleck, who made a clean score.

Ga-telli was second with a score of 22; Riva, third, with 21, and Bernstorff, fourth, with 19 birds to his credit. Pierce Draws With McLaughlin. There were three four-round boxing contests and a wind-up of four rounds at the Nonpareil Athletic Club last night. The latter bout was between Leslie Pierce, of Camden, and Billy McLaughlin, of Lansdale. It was of a peppery nature throughout and resulted in a draw.

Success The Game In Likely to He Taken to the Flelrt During the Coming Summer and Promises tor Prove a Snceeig. Basket ball, as an indoor game, has come to Philadelphia to stay. The game as arranged by its inventors, James Naismith and Dr.

Luther du-lick, the Springfield T. M. C. A. Training School, fills a long-felt want and has proved its right to a place among American sports, becoming, perhaps, more popular than was at first anticipated.

It has spread from Springfield to Paris, Prance, in one direction, and to Melbourne, Australia, in another. It was at first intended for only business and professional men as a simple health-giving exercise, but since its fine play and possibilities have been developed, it now stands as one of our foremost games, requiring Walter Thompson, Captain Germantown Basket Ball Team. not only strength, but every faculty of an accomplished athlete, systematically trained and drilled, to successfully compete with many of the strong teams that have, during the past sea-8on, sprung up at every quarter. The game has thus far, in Philadelphia, been played indoors only, but as the summer season advances it will be taken to the field and is sure to meet with the same success as it has had within the narrow limits of our gymnasia. After several seasons of hard usage It was found that the game needed new rules, which have been issued by the International Committee of the Y.

M. C. for and 18M, and after a thorough trial have been found a success in making the game more popular and reducing the roughness in play. THE DISTRICT LEAGUE. The Basket Ball known as the Philadelphia District League, was formed in the early part of the season, composed of five association teams.

After accepting the greater part of the old 1S03 rules, they arranged a scheme which was added to that of the International Committee rules, known as floor division. The idea was to divide the playing space into three different parts and keeping the three players of each team within their respective divisions. This was done to prevent roughness, which, of course, it did not do, but instead lessened the possibility of scientific passing and dodging, which is the one great feature of the game. According to the floor division rules as laid down, should a player step or run out of his division twice the penalty is a foul, which counts a point against his team. In the opinion of many the rule is not a success, and is so expressed by Dr.

Luther Gu-lick, of Springfield: "The floor division takes away considerable of the science of the game, and experience fails to show that it decreases the roughness. The game will not be rough if the referee and umpire do their duty, there being full provision in the rules against this, and the only criticism that can be made of a rough game. is that the officers were not qualified It will be seen that the game, as arranged by the International Committee and played by all the best Professor Heidler, Gymnasium Instructor Germantown C. A. teams outside of Philadelphia, allows greater opportunities for fine play, so long as the umpire proves to be honest in keeping the game clean, and.

free from football tactics so often resorted to. IN REGARD TO FOULS. The penalty of a foul gives the opposite team a free throw for goal, which, if made, counts three points. The following acts constitute a foul: Striking the ball with the fist. Kicking the Running with the ball.

Holding the ball with any part of the body, excepting the hands. Holding, striking, tripping, pushing or shouldering an opponent. Needless rough play, after being warned twice, a foul is called, and at the third call the player is disqualified. Touching the ball when it is put in play, before it has been touched by one of the centre men. Addressing the umpire or referee by player except the captain.

Philadelphia already boasts of some very strong teams, the strongest of them being, perhaps, the Regulars, of the Y. M. C. of Germantown, captained by Walter Thompson, who is one of the best players of that association. His position is that of goal keeper, one of great responsibility, requiring all the requisites of a finished athlete.

In connection with the presentation of a flag to the M. Hall Stanton School, Sixteenth and Cumberland streets, notable exercises were held yesterday afternoon, in which Charles F. Warwick took part, making the presentation address in behalf of the M. Hall Stanton Public School Association, and Camac Council, No. 315, Jr.

O. U. A. M. All the pupils assembled in the third-story of the school building, and after music by the Ringgold.

Band, singing of patriotic songs by the pupils, prayer by Rev. Dr. Benjamin L. Agnew and a drill by a detachment of the Temple Cadets, Mr. Warwick was introduced by the chairman, L.

B. Mathias, president of the school association, who stated that Mr. Warwick had been invited to make the presentation speech before his nomination as Mayor. The latter confirmed these statements at the beginning of his speech, and added; "I want you to understand that I am not here as a candidate for office, but simply as a citizen, to talk on a subject dear to all of us. "I think one of the best lessons that can be taught in our schools is patriot ism.

The great bulwark of American liberties is the public school Anarchy can't thrive where the people are Intelligent and where school houses are open to all the children." Principal Caskey accepted the flagr in behalf of the school and the directors of the section, and then some of the children crowded to the doors and windows while the rest assembled in the yard. The band struck up a patriotic air as the flag was raised to the top of a tall pole, in the corner of the yard, and three" volleys were Hon. Henry F. Walton and District Attorney Graham were on the program for addresses, as was also Charles F. Abbot, of the Board of Education, but none of the three were able to be present.

Solving- Knotty Problems. Multitudes of The Inquirer's readers enjoy to the utmost the department of "Queries and Answers" that appears in the Sunday issues. Some of the iut uy uunwpuuueuis are decidedly curious and often entertaining, but The Inquirer spares no labor to procure and set forth the correct answer. At the same time it Is remarkable what a large number of these the questioners might solve for themselves and thus enhance the value of the Information by an intelligent use of the wonderful Encyclopedia Britannica and its still more wonderful index volume. In this Sunday's issue, for instance, may be seen problems in art, geography, pronunciation, card games.

State history, technology, railroad construction, and numismatics, all which the Britannica solves under those titles. This shows the immense advantage of the Home University, based on the use of Britannica and its "Guide," all available to Inquirer readers on very low terms at No. 812 Chestnut street.

Tim Hurst, the base ball umpire, tells a funny story about a prize fight in this State between an Irishman named Gallagher and an Englishman named Gibson.

Neither man had ever seen the other, but they belonged to rival towns, and quite a lot of money was bet on the match by partisans of both. Gallagher was a great, brawny fellow, with immense strength, but no science. He was considerable of a' rounder, and was of the John L. Sullivan school, believing that a shave and a shampoo was about all' the training he required to whip anybody. He was drinking In a saloon with some friends on the eve of the battle, when somebody said, looking out of the window; "Hello, there goes Gibson." "Phwat? Is that the mon? I'll put a dinge in his face! I'll punch holes in him! I'll ait him in wan round!" "Hold on, Gallagher," advised one of his friends.

"Tou'd better not count your chickens before they are hatched. They say this Englishman has a vast amount of science and is game in the bargain." For reply Gallagher turned and drove his fist through a half-inch board partition, and was about to repeat the feat when he was stopped by his friends, who told him to husband his strength for the next evening. The men who had the fight in charge thought that nobody in their own town knew enough about boxing to referee the affair properly, and they sent over to Pottsville for a local sport, who had a reputation at home, to come over, and pass judgment upon the merits of the men. It was a fifteen-round affair, and when the men got into the ring Gallagher, to fulfill his promise, went at the Englishman like a cyclone. His arms beat about like windmills, but he fanned the air, and the elusive Englishman finally worked him over to one side of the ring, where the ropes were laid against a brick wall.

He then beat a tattoo on the Irishman's face, whose head struck the wall at each blow with sufficient force to crack an ordinary man's slfull. He was all but out at the call of time, but when revived by liberal doses of cold water he gasped, looked around wildly, and said to one of his seconds: "Will yez tell me what round that was?" "Only the third," was the reply. "Begorra, I'm all right, only twelve more." Gallagher was advised, by his seconds that the only chance he had was to mix it up with the Englishman, and the next twelve rounds were mainly decided on the floor, where all kinds of rules went. There were gouging, kicking and everything but biting. The referee looked on all the while and occasionally ordered the men to "break" or to it.

At the end of the fifteenth round, after giving his trousers a hitch and adjusting the yellow diamond in his red necktie, the referee strode to the front of the ring and addressed the house thus: "Me name is Connie O'Brien and I came from Pottsville. I come over here to referee dis fight, but dis ain't no scrap, and I want ter say that I can lick either of dese fellers wld me left hand tied round me back. Neither one of 'em can scrap, and I calls dis-fight a draw. Any gent wot's not satisfied can come up and take his money's worth out of me." JACK EVERHARDT WINS. He I)fenpt Tom Moriarity, of Lowell, Id One Round.

It only took eight seconds to decide the wind-up at the Southwark Athletic Club last night. It was between Jack Everhardt, the New Orleans light weight, and Tom Moriarity, of Lowell, Mass. After the men had shaken hands, Everhardt rushed and planted his left in Moriarity's stomach. Then there was a clinch, and immediately after breaking away Everhardt feinted with his left, and sending his right across he smashed Moriarity in the jaw. The Lowell man went down in a heap, and the contest was ended right then and there.

SOUTH ORANGE, N. Feb. 9. Owing to the extreme cold only a small crowd witnessed the fancy skating championship competition of the South Orange Field Club held here this afternoon. Of the six aspirants who had entered, Evans and Sumner, of Boston, and Schultz, of Hoboken, were unable to be present.

Those who did compete were George D. Phillips, the present champion, and R. J. Schaefer, of the New York Athletic Club, and Gus Warrick, of 27ew-ark. The men were required to go through twenty-two figures, three points being counted for best, two points for the second and one for the third.

The judges were Frank P. Good, of Brooklyn; Samuel J. of New York, and G. C. Walton, of New York.

The ice was in 1 poor condition, and that, together i with the high wind, badly handi-' capped the skaters. Phillips easily i distanced the other performers, going through a number of evolutions that the others failed in, and doing his work equally well with either foot. The movements included pivot circling, pirouettes, serpentine and loops. Schaefer and Warrick made a fairly close run for second, but the former was awarded the victory. The results follow: phniin firnr fif5 nolnts: Schaefer.

second, 39 points; Warrick, third, 3G points. The prizes were gold, silver and bronze medals. SIGNALS IX BASE BALL. Connie Mack Said to Be an Expert In Reading Them. Base ball managers and captains are just now engaged in arranging signals for use in games after the championship season opens.

Discussing this subject Manager Buckenberger, of St. Louis, said: "Connie Mack is beyond doubt the most dangerous man in the League to-day, for people who think they have an unreadable code of signals in the game. I know whereof 1 I speak. The club that has signals which Connie cannot read in a little while is a cuckoo. "He was invaluable to me when I managed the club here.

He was always awake and the series of games in which we were not 'next' by the close of the first game, was a cuckoo. However, I hope to have a code for St. Louis which will keep even Connie guessing. Whether I succeed or not remain's to be seen, for he is a terror." Another terror in the reading of signals is Glasscock, who will captain Louisville. A CHEAP TROTTER.

Throngh a Mistake Bonnie Wilmore waft sold tor ip-tuo. CHICAGO, Feb. 9. K. Smith, of Harrodsburg, is probably the maddest man in Kentucky.

He consigned his good horse Bonnie Wilmore, record 2.144. by Bonnie McGregor, dam by imported Bonnie Scotland, to a Chicago sale and expected the stallion to bring many thousands of dollars. It appears that the horse was not numbered properly and was knocked down for $490 to a man from the interior of Illinois. Crit Davis, who drove Bonnie Wilmore in a number of his races, offered the buyer a liberal advance over the price paid, but the purchaser knew a good thing when he had it and refused to sell. Bonnie Wilmore enjoys the unique distinction of being the only horse that ever beat Nancy Hanks, 2.04, a heat in a race.

Mr. Smith at one time refused for the horse. NOTES OfVTHE TURF. All trotting horse drivers in Europe are required to be licensed by the authorities in charge of the turf, and American reinsmen who go abroad must furnish certificates of character from the National Trotting Association in this country. The yearling colt Renown, by Thistle, 2.13V, dam Ristora, by Revenue, 2.2214, is the fastest thing of his age ever owned at Parkville Farm, and there was a yearling on the place last season, Thistlebud.

that moved a quarter in .3214, a 2.09 gait. James F. Caldwell, the veteran starter, will handle the napr at the Lexington spring meeting. "Kit" Chin and J. Ferguson are to do the work at St.

Louis, Harlem and Hawthorne, dividing the dates between them as best suits their convenience. Edward Corrigan was the most successful of the owners of racing stables in 1S94. He had forty-two. horses in training, started horses in four hundred and twenty-four races, of which he won one hundred and twenty-five; was second in eighty-five and third in seventy-one. Dungarven, a selling plater of no particular account as a race horse, won more races than any other horse that raced during' the season of 1894.

He won twenty-one of the flfty-three race3 in he started, was second five times and third in ten other races. Yet the total of his winnings was but $8200. Carbine, the famous Australian race horse and sire, which it was thought probable J. Haggin would purchase, has been sold to the Duke of Portland for 13,000 guineas Many expert horsemen consider Carbine a better horse than the English racer Ormonde, who has been called "the horse of the century." Adolph Spreckels, the sugar monopolist, will race east of the Mississippi River entirely this summer, owing to his quarrel with his associates in the ownership of the California race courses. He has twenty-two race horses, but four of which are two-year-olds, that make up his racing string.

The lot are in charge of "Cy" Mulkey, and Cadmus is the best of the lot he has in training. J. Hill seems to be the best of the jockeys now riding at New Orleans. In the first forty-nine days of the meeting he has won thirty races, been second twenty-nine times and third in twenty-three other races. Clayton, the crack Western light-weight, has won twenty-eight races, been second twenty-one times and third in fourteen races.

Casein is third on the list, with twenty-seven wins, fourteen seconds and ten thirds. M'CAFFHEY CAN STILL FIGHT. Doniinick Taught Duncan Ross, the wo tinman, a Lesson. NEW YORK, Feb. 9.

Dominick McCaffrey, though ill, is still able to use his "dukes" when the occasion demands. And that he can strike a blow with the force of a mule's kick Duncan C. Ross, of broadsword fame, can testify. The little scrimmage occurred in a saloon in Ann street, near-the old Herald Building. McCaffrey and Mr.

Sperry, of the old Manhattan Athletic Club, dropped into the cafe on their way uptown for refreshments. Ross, who was also present, began to abuse the old Manhattan's boxing instructor. McCaffrey turned his back and said nothing. Ross, however, kept pestering the pugilist. At last McCaffrey appealed to the proprietor, who did his best to quiet Ross, but the task was useless.

McCaffrey finally told Ross to quit or there would be a fight. "What!" said Ross, "you fight? Why I can lick a dozen like you," and, suiting the action to the word, made a rush for McCaffrey. Quick as a flash McCaffrey's right shot out and landed with telling force on the broadswordman's eye. Ross fell to the floor, and it was some time before he came to. His opinion of McCaffrey's ability to punch yet is changed now.

He will leave Dominick alone in the future. Sl'SDAY BILLIARD PLAYING. The Authorities Are Bonnd to Stop It In Sew York. NEW YORK, Feb. 9 The authorities in this city are determined to stop Sunday billiard playing.

Both Slosson and Daly insist that billiard playing, as carried on in the reputable rooms, is in no sense disorderly or noisy, but is a gentleman's pastime, as much to be enjoyed in peace on Sunday as a cigar, after the Sunday dinner, and no more harmful to the public peace and order than the same post-prandial smoke. Captain Pickett, however, informed blosson and Daly that if they opened their rooms to-morrow they must confidently look for a repetition of last Sunday's raid. He said that he would be compelled to arrest all hands again, even if the billiard playing was done behind locked doors. His position is that while the law remains on the statute book he has no alternative but to enforce it, distasteful as it may be to discommode citizens who are fond of playing billiards on Sunday. A Fast Mile by Azote.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9. In a race yesterday between Klamath, 2.12, and Azote, 2.08, the big son of Whips came under the wire six lengths ahead of Klamath, winning in 2.094, the fastest heat ever trotted in a race in California. NIBS OF SPORTING NEWS. H.

A. Bonnell has been elected secretary of the New York Base Ball Club, vice George E. Stackhouse, resigned. "Mysterious" Billy Smith is rapidly getting into shape for his approaching mill with Joe AValcott, which is to be held at Boston on March 1. Should Smith come out first best he will sail post haste to England.

Bucksnberger, while manager of the Pittsburg team, released Miller and Lyons for dissipation. Now, as manager of the St. Louis Browns, Bucken-berger and the two ex-Pittsburg stars come together again in the same club. Joe McAuliffe told a friend the other day that as soon as his arm got better he would issue a challenge to meet any man in the world. Jack wants to impress upon his friends and detractors that he has not lost his steam, nor is he in the class of "has beens." P.

J. McGraw, who was second baseman for the Standards, Hamilton's old-time professional team In 1877 and 1878, is dead. He played with the Clippers, of Hamilton, later, and was also with various minor league teams in the United States. As soon as the New Yorks reach Jacksonville, Stafford will be placed on second base. Davis and Doyle are with him, and he will not lack encouragement from them.

Fuller, who is one of Stafford's chums, will also look out for him and give many a valuable pointer. Young Griffo will begin training for his coming contest with Horace Leeds to-morrow. He will be quartered at Coney Island, and Nick Dunn, who got him into shape for his contest with George Dixon, will perform the same duties again. Griffo is looking rather poorly. He has been celebrating his last battle and the pace has told on him.

Joe McAuliffe, the "Mission Boy," is still inclined to think that he is being unjustly treated by several of the heavy-weights. He says he would like to hear from Jake Kilrain regarding their match, which is supposed to take place in the near future. McAuliffe wants the Seaside Club to offer a purse for himself and Kilrain. Says Hugh Jennings, of Baltimore. "About our chances for next season, my views are the same as the rest of the boys.

If the same team is together next season we will have a few words to say as to who will win the Dennant. and our cry will be: 'You can't down the Our pitching department will be much stronger to start with than it was last season, which will help us to a considerable extent." It now seems that Tom Brown's reason for preferring to remain in Louisville is that he has an interest in a saloon in that city. He has no objection to playing in St. Louis, and it is safe to predict that when the call of duty is sounded he will line up with the rest of the St. Louis boys.

Frank Shugart, the other end of the deal, expresses himself as delighted with the chance, and promises to give the Louisville people no cause to regret the loss of Brown. under his administration. He has made this branch of the association the most popular of the institution. The work done here will equal, if not surpass, that done in many of the associations throughout the country. FORFEITED TO DREIEL.

Central Branch Banket Ball Team Refused to Play the Gnme. The basket ball game scheduled between Drexel Institute and Central Branch Y. M. C. at the Central Gymnasium last night, was forfeited to Drexel Institute.

Central Branch refused to play on the ground that two members of the Drexel Institute team had never played on the team before. Rule IV, Section 2 of the Official Basket Ball Rules for 1893 says: "In match games all players must have been bona fide members of the association, branch or department which they represent for at least thirty days." Every player on the Drexel team fcCls been a bona fide member of Drexel institute for at least ninety days. CALIFORNIA ATHLETES. They Prefer to Meet Pennsylvania and Harvard Rather Than Yale. The fact that the University of California will send a track and field team East this spring has caused a boom in college- athletics.

The Westerners have challenged Pennsylvania and Harvard to dual meetings, and as they have not asked for a meeting with Yale it- goes to show that they approve the liberal policies of the former universities towards outside colleges, and prefer dual contests with the red and blue and the crimson to a meeting with the New Havenites, who were the winners of the intercollegiate championships last year. It is probable, though, that California will be admitted to the Intercollegiate Association, and in that case they will have a chance to measure strength with ail the best runners, jumpers and weight throwers in the Eastern college ranks. The sprinter on whom the University of California will rely is Jimmie Scoggins, a youth who is claimed to have equalled the intercollegiate record, 10 seconds, in the lOO-yard run last season. His weak point then was staying, and he failed to touch the best Eastern time for the furlong dash. He may have improved in this respect since, but in any case he is the best available and will be slipped for the double event.

The quarter-mile choice is Humphreys, who is described as probably the best all-round man in the college. With comparatively little training he went the distance last year in 52 1-5 seconds on a slow track. He is expected to improve sufficiently to run second or better for the intercollegiate championship. Colt, '95, is one of the strongest half-milers on the coast, and is expected to touch the two minutes this year, while Koch, is thought equal to a better performance on a good track. Neither has shown ability to go a fast mile, and that event will be let go by default.

W. H. Henry, of the Law School, should be a giant among the high hurdlers. Henry's record is 15 seconds. Henry will be backed up by Dyer and Hoffman, both capable of beating 17 seconds.

Bakewell is the best low hurdler in the University of California, but his best time is 20 2-5 seconds, which would scarcely earn him a place. Blake will carry the Western hopes in the mile walk. He is said to be several seconds faster than Houghton, of Amherst, the present intercollegiate champion. The University of California has also got a very fast bicycle rider, Cushing, of the Dental School. As he Is a Class man, however, he may be left home.

High scoring is looked fox in all the field events, the Californians being particularly expert in this department. Edgren is reported to have thrown the hammer over 131 feet in practice, and is improving steadily. Rallie Wilbur, of the Art School, can beat 110 feet, and put the shot 43 feet 10 inches. Koch, the half-mile runner, can send the shot about 40 feet. The University of California high jumpers are a warm lot, if the home tape can be relied on.

They are classified as follows: Patterson, 5 feet 11 inches; Koch, 5 feet 10 inches, and Humphreys, 5 feet 8 inches. It is claimed that the 'Varsity has more broad jumpers who can cover over twenty feet than any college in the country. Woolsey has done 22 feet, while North and Morse can go within a few inches of that mark. Hoffman is the pole vaulter of the combination. He cleared 10 feet 4V inches last year, and is said to be improving.

The team is described as very strong in allrround men, capable of taking part in extra events after getting through with their specialties. Chicago's Base Ball Team. CHICAGO, Feb. 9. Three weeks from next Thursday the Chicago League Ball Club will start for Galveston, Texas, where the boys will get into shape for the coming season on the diamond.

So far President Hart has arranged but five exhibition games. The Louisville Club will train in the Lone Star State, and the Colts and Colonels will cross bats at Galveston March 10 and 24 and April 7. The teams will also come together at Houston March 14 and 31. Other games will be arranged with League clubs visiting Texas. SMALL ADS If PAGES" 8111213.

NEW HAVEN, Feb. 9. Tale expects to place a bang-up base ball team on the field this season, even without the services of a professional coach. The old players still in college include Green way, catcher; Carter, pitcher; Stephenson, first base; Murphy, second base; Captain Rustin, right field; Redington, centre field; Speer, left field; Trudeau, substitute pitcher; Quinby, substitute shortstop, and Keator, substitute outfielder. AVith such a veteran list to draw upon, Yale should put a very strong team in the field this spring.

There will be just one thing, however, to worry the "rooters" for the blue, and that is the fear that John Greenway may not be able to last out the season. It will be remembered that he had to quit playing football last fall on account of an Internal trouble, and it is possible that the strain of work behind the bat will bring on the old complaint. Nothing but the loss of Carter himself could come as a greater misfortune to Tale than the happening of such a contingency. Outside of Murphy there' is no man in college that can even compare with Greenway as a backstop. Murphy said last fall that he would not train for base ball this year, but he has been persuaded to think again before making a final decision, and there is little doubt that he will start in again with the rest of the old men.

The schedule of games for the season is about made out, but Manager McKee will not allow its publication until it is entirely complete. If the National League season Is to open on April 18 it will cancel three games which Tale was to have had with the Bostons, on April 22, 23 and 24 the first two having been arranged to take place at New Haven' and the last one at Boston. As has been announced before. Tale will play the Giants at the Polo Grounds on April 6 and 17. Captain Rustin's men will also meet the Brooklyns on April 10, at Brooklyn, and a few days later the League champions and college champions will play an exhibition game at Baltimore.

Between April 10 and 17, Tale will also meet Georgetown University, University of Virginia and University of North Carolina. Last year the Southern trip began on March 20, and some very cold weather was encountered. Coming three weeks later this spring, it is believed better preliminary practice will result. BASE BALL AT UNION. A Promising; Outlook for a Strong Team This Season.

SCHENECTADT, Feb. 9. Union's base ball outlook this season is very encouraging at present. Of last year's team the following have returned to college: Howard, '95 (captain), second base; Enders, '95, first base; Beattie, '9G, third base; Sullivan, '96, catcher; Klein, '95, short stop, and Creagan, "98, field. Among the new men who are showing up in good form are: Quinlan, '90, catcher; Parsons, '98; Stur-devant, '98, and Preston, '98, pitchers; Sweetland, '98, first base; Jones, '98, second base; Lipes, -'9S; Baker, "98; Preston, '98, short stop; Hildner, '98; Jones, '9S; Best, 98, outfield.

Manager Allen has succeeded in arranging games so far with Trinity, Wesleyan, West Point, Rutgers, Amherst, Columbia, Georgetown University, Cornell, Johns Hopkins and Princeton and several of the State League teams..
