'5 .) THE PTHXiADELiPTITA -IXQTJIRER THITTJST) A MORISTCSTG, OCTOBER 31, 1895. the 25-yard line by Gumbes, The line-up follows: CLARK IS BOSS In tFteJgpopting fyjoria SCKLOSS BROS. BALTIMORE. MD OCTM -Jy In ple entered into this agreement in good faith. Each one' of the opposing forces seem to be resting on their arms to-night, each confident of the victory.

The day has been replete with exciting incidents, in which the militia took the leading part. Brigadier-General Taylor, of the Arkansas State Guard, came in at an early hour this morning from his home at Forrest City and held numerous conferences with the Governor, as a result of which the State militia was ordered to hold itself in readiness to move at a moment's notice. Colonel Hollenbery, of the First Regiment, in command of the two Little Rock companies, reported for duty this afternoon. Meanwhile Governor Clark continued with renewed energy to bar the gate3 against Fitzsimmons, and deputies were sent to block possible point of ingress against the New Zealander. The situation became extremely ludicrous, for it was plain to every one that Sheriff Houpt and the Garland county authorities had arraigned themselves on the side of the sporting element, and the spectacle of two Sheriffs, each armed with warrants, one to prevent a fight, the other to facilitate it, both on the State border waiting for Fitzsimmons, and the probability of a row between the two officers over the possession of the pugilists presented itself.

Governor Clark was immensely pleased when he heard that Sheriff Dillard had not only collared FitzsimmoTis and his party, but the Hot Springs Sheriff as well. "I am boss of this State and these fellows will find it out to their cost before long," said the Governor. CHICAGO'S CRACK TEAM Sketch of tlie Men Who Will Play AnrainKt Pennsylvania To-morruw. The Chicago Athletic Association eleven, which plays Penn to-morrow, Is the strongest this year that the club has ever put in the field. The line is better than last year and the backs are a great improvement.

They have played the following games so far: Swift eleven, 28 to Chicago University, 0 to Rush Med-nois, to O. The game with the Chicago University was played with several new men who did not know the signals before going on the field, and even then the University did not succeed In scoring or even advancing the ball beyond the centre of the field in the second half of the game. The C. A. A.

team is, without question, the strongest eleven in the West college or otherwise and a worthy foe for any team in the country. E. B. Camp, the captain, plays right half and has played the game for ten years, seven being spent with Lafayette and Pennsylvania. He played right half for Pennsylvania for two years and was always a sure ground gainer for that strong team.

He played last season at end for A. A. He is feet Hl2 inches In height and weighs 1(5) pounds. W. F.

Slater holds the position of right half. He played three years for University of Illinois, weighs 142V and stands 5 feet kYj. He is the best ground gainer on the team and seldom fails to make his distance. He is short and fast, hard to tackle and often does not stop when downed. Paul G.

Brown, the full-back, is an old Cornell man. having played fullback for them for two seasons. He played the latter part of last season for C. A. is a good kicker, good at bucking the line and one of the best men in interference In the West.

He stands 5 feet 10 inches, and weighs lolYi pounds. Aldrich, the quarter-back, is an old Purdue man, where he played for three years. He is a hard tackier, follows the ball all the time and handles it surely. He stands 5 feet 5Mj Inches and weighs 141 pounds. A.

Stevenson is probably the best-known player on the team. He played for five years at Purdue and has played the last three years with C. A. A. He is unquestionably the best centre out of the college ranks.

His work last seaso against the Harvard and Yale centre men and two seasons before against the Pennsylvania and Princeton centres stamps him without a peer. He is playing a better game this year than ever and is in evidence in the game at all times. He stands (5 feet 1 inch and weighs 2(2 pounds and is In the best condition of football career. B. M.

Thomas, the right guard, has played with C. A. A. for three years and has yet to meet the man who could best him in the game. He is one of the stand-bys of the team and can be counted on to do more than his share of the work.

He stands feet 11 inches and Weighs IDS pounds, and is always in good shape. Olin McCormick, the other guard, played with Illinois for three years. The last season he was with C. A. A.

WILL TO COXTIXI ED FROM FIRST PACE. correspondent to-day that the fight would occur some time between November 1 and November 7, at Hot Springs. This may come true, but the outlook for the pugilists is very gloomy. Your correspondent went down the Iron Mountain Railroad this afternoon to see the fun. At every stop made from five to ten men would get off the train, and at each station along the line were numerous marshals, and deputies, evidently lying in wait for Fitzsimmons' party, it being understood that they would come up the Iron Moutain to either Gurdon or Arkadelphia, and there take vehicle and come into Garland county overland.

Had this plan been attempted it would have been futile, as every avenue of escape was well guarded. Mrs. Fitzsimmons, Mrs. Julian, Frank White, Ernest Roeber, and Fitzsimmons came through arriving here at 8.2.1 P. M.

this evening, registering at the Arlington. Mrs. Julian gave your correspondent a graphic description of the arrest of the male members of the party, claiming that it was mostly the fault of certain parties here writing letters to the Governor, urging him to take violent measures if necessary to intercept them. A party of citizens from Hot Springs will be on hand at Little Rock to-morrow morning when Fitzsimmons, Sheriff Houpt and Deputy Simon Cooper arrive, and will go on the bonds of the prisoners. BAGGED HIS GAME Sheriff Dlllard Collared Fitz and a Brother Ollieer as Well.

TEXARKANA. Oct. 30. Sheriff Dillard and deputies of Miller county, who left Texarkana on the Iron Mountain Cannon Ball at 3.30 o'clock, succeeded in bagging the pugilistic game they were after. Fitzsimmons and his trainer were arrested by them and taken off their train at Fulton.

A special train was telegraphed for to bring the officers and pugilists back to this city, and at -5 o'clock a train left here for that purpose. They arrived here about o'clock, and the Sheriff with his deputies, with Fitzsimmons and Julian under arrest, left Texarkana at 7.3.1 P. M. tonight via the Cotton Belt Railway for Little Rock. They took this route to avoid any trouble that might arise at Malvern if the Iron Mountain route was used.

The Associated Press correspondent interrogated Fitzsimmons and Julian while they were here. Both said they were ready for the fight, but could net say when or where it could take place, as they were under arrest. Both denounced Corbett and the Florida Athletic Club for doing everything in their power to prevent and stave off the fight to a later day. They declared Corbett was not in condition now, and hence they tried to put it off. Fitz said he was in fine trim and felt confident of easily knocking out Corbett.

He'Oiad trained continuously and was never in finer form. Fitz and Julian will claim the $25M forfeit to-morrow if they can get through to Hot Springs. 4 Both appeared in good humor, although under arrest, and said it was useless to fret over such a thing, as it was unavoidable on their part. The trial of their cases, under warrant issued by Chancery Judge Martin Little Rock, will be held to-morrow. i.

Shertff Houpt, of Hot Springs, wtio sought to carry Fitzsimmons and Julian through to that city under the guise of arrest, was lost In the shuffle when he disputed Sheriff Dillard's authority. The latter arrested him on the Iron Mountain train, but when the crowd got off at Fulton. Houpt remained aboard, and got off at Hope, the next station above, where he telegraphed Dlllard that he was not trying to get away and would come back on the first train and give himself up. Sheriff Dillard has been assisted by the Deputy Sheriff of Little Rock, and every move has been made according to written instructions from Governor Clarke. The Governor ordered Sheriff Dillard and Deputy Heard to get a big posse of men to take Fitzsimmons at all hazards and at any cost and produce them before Judge Martin at Little Rock as soon as possible after arresting them.

The officers and pugilists will arrive at Little Rock early to-morrow morning. There was an immense crowd to meet the officers and pugilists as they came in from Fulton, and the party could hardly get through the jam at the Cosmopolitan Hotel to secure supper before starting for Little Rock. ARMS HANDY IF NECESSARY Arkansas State Gnard Ready to Move at a Moment's Notice. LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 30.

One result of to-day's operations is that an agreement has been reached between counsel for the Hot Springs Athletic Club and Attorney-General Kinsworthy, by which Corbett is to be brought to Little Rock to-morrow to answer to the warrant issued from Pulaski county and that the tight is temporarily postponed penning a hearing of the case, provided the club peo Haverford.

SO a.1). The football game at Haverford this afternoon was one of the dirtiest ever played on the grounds. Haddonfield was finally defeated bv a score of 6 to 4. Neither side scored in the first half, though Haddonfield had a little the best of it. Tn the second the college team began pushing them hard, ana then the rough play began.

Weil was dis-qual'led for slugging, but was allowed to continue, as they had no substitutes. On nearly every play time was called to argue decision. In this half Smith scored by a good run. but no goal was kicked. Two minutes before the end Alsop scored a touchdown and Hlnchman kicked a goal.

In the second half the Lawrenceville team rallied and scored six touch-downs by quick, scientific work. Righter, Richards and Stanton did the best work.

pwl PENN MAKES ONLY BROWX'S CRACK FOOTBALL PLAT-ERS GIVE THE QUAKERS A VERV HARD BATTLE. NO SCORING IN FIRST HALF I'm pi re Moyle's Deeidiona Were 3Iost Dnmafslwz to lie Hed and Dine. Prnnsjlvanla Men Played "Without Life and Showed Effects of Overtraining. By the hardest kind of work, Pennsylvania managed to make twelve points against Brown in the footbatll game at Franklin Field yesterday Two twenty-minute halves were play- ea, ana no scoring was done in the first. In the second the Quakers erot two touchdowns, and kicked both goals, the last one being made just a iew seconds before time was called.

It was by long odds the hardest game of the year for the red and blue. But little was known of the strength of the Providence team, anv more than they had held Yale down to a single touchdown and scored on Harvard, but this was early in the season. Last Saturday they defeated Lehigh, 22 to 4, but as the Quakers had rolled up 54 points against the Bethlehem boys, they did not feel greatly alarmed on this account. When eleven giants walked on the neia, towering over the Pennsvlva ma men, the suDDorters of th rri and blue began to realize that their pets had a hard job on their hands, and such It proved to be. The Providence lads played good, hard football, but even at that they would not have kept the score down anywhere near so low had it not been for Umpire Moyle, the old Yale player, now coach at Brown and formerly coach at La- iayerte.

This man aided Brown more in the first half than their entire rush line. He gave them the ball on the sngntest opportumty. and his internie tation of the rules was something weird and wonderful to look upon. It was not to be expected that Pennsylvania could gain ground without the ball, and they would never have it more than a few -seconds until Mr. Moyle would give it to Brown on claims of holding or off-side play.

He was roundly, hissed and evidently became somewhat ashamed of himself for in the second half his rulings were fairer, although still largely in Brown's iavor. As for Pennsylvania's playing, it lacked life and snap. There was io ginger there and the men clearly showed the effects of overtraining. They were fearfully slow and the backs fumbled atrociously. Coach Woodruff laid off Minds in the first half, as that player had been showing signs of overwork, iut after orth was hurt in the second half he was brought on ana managea to infuse a little pre into Pennsylvania's play.

Brooke played for. the first time since his in jury in the game with the Indians, and kicked in his old-time form. His shoulder still troubled him, however, for he did not hit the line with his usual force. iM HnrYard-Prluceton Rales. As Brown plays under the Yale-Princeton rules, and the Quakers ac cording to the Harvard-Pennsylvania Cornell regulations, a compromise was made whereby yesterday's game was played according to the Harvard-Princeton modifications, three extra men only being allowed back of the line, and but one permitted to start before the ball is put in play.

These rules bothered the Quakers somewhat and prevented them from using their style of interference, so effective in previous games. Under these rules the game lost much of its brilliancy, and consisted mostly of a series of mass plays aimed at the centre. Owing to their very heavy line this style of play was very favorable to Brown. The Providence men proved to be the first team of the year to make any material gains through Pennsyl-liania's line. Several times they opened up big holes, through which Robinson, their left half-back, plunged for good gains.

Once he passed everybody but Brooke and almost eluded that reliable tackier. Wharton, Woodruff and Wagonhurst played the best game In the line for Pennsylvania, and on one occasion the former pair picked the Brown runner right off his feet and carried him five yards up the field, kicking and squalling like a youngster. Brown won the toss and took the west goal. Woodruff kicked off, and by a series of steady gains the visitors took the ball to Pennsylvania's fifteen-yard line, losing it but once, and then on a fumble. The Quakers held Brown on the fifteen-yard line and got the ball on downs, but Mr.

Moyle, their umoire, at once gave it to Brown for holding. Pennsylvania again possession of it, and Brooke kicked to midfield. During the greater part of this half play was round about midfield. Any material advances that the Quakers made were nullified by the umpire taking the ball away from them. Once Pennsylvania had the ball within kicking distance of Brown's goal and Brooke tried for a field goal from the forty-yard line, missing by a few feet.

The Quakers had the ball on Brown's twenty-five-yard line when time was called for the half. Hetter Work In the Second. In the second half the home team kept the ball mostly in Brown's ground. Worth retired after a few minutes' play, and with Minds on, the Quakers opened fire on the my's line in earnest. After twelve; minutes' actual play the ball was taken to Brown's ten-yard line.

Here Williams tried one of his trick kicks to the right side of the line and Dickson got the ball and rushed it over. Brooke kicked the goal and there was much rejoicing in the Quaker camp. By a series of plays on the Brown centre and sharp plunges through the tackles by Brooke and Minds. Pennsylvania again got the ball on Brown's thirty-yard line, where Brooke tried for a field and missed, the ball going just a few inches to the right of the post. After McCarthy had kicked off from the twenty-five yard line the Quaker again pounded through the tackles and got within fifteen yards of Brown's goal.

Two plunges by Brooke and one by Blair took it within a few inches of the line, where Woodruff dashed through for a touchdown. Brooke kicked the goal and time was called a few seconds later. The teams lined up as follows: Pennsylvania. Positions. Brown.

In the baggage car they carried the now famous "quint," a "quad," a triplet, two tandems and a number of single wheels. Troy, when asked if he had to pay for transporting his machines, said: "You bet your sweet life I did not pay a cent over the price of the tickets for the If the railroad does not want to take my wheels free, why, they need not. That's all. There are other roads that will do it, and plenty, of them, too. You mark my word, this tariff for transporting bicycles over the Pennsylvania Railroad will last just two months.

They'll get sick of it when they find the amount other traffic they are losing." It is expected that the men will do some fine riding at Louisville, where they will make attempts to lower every existing track record. The "quint" will be used to pace Berlo and others for short distances, whila for long rides the ljuad," triplets and, tandems will be brought into use. A. G. Powell, the genial official han3- lcapper of this district for the L.

Mr. Powell is making an earnest effort to secure a good store on Arch street, knowinar that this is where all the bl-' cycle business will be done next year. He has one or two places in view, on of which he will probably be able to se cure by the first of next year.

Until then he will remain at his old quarters. 2315 Spring Garden street, and make as good a showing as is possible for him to do. One of the local dealers made a re-mark yesterday that had a great deal of significance in it. He was talking about the sale of wheels and incident--ally he said: "We can't do anything here. The only place to sell wheels ia around Sn Arch street." He was about right in that statement.

The dealers on Arch street are not complaining very bitterly about business even now, and nearly every house has dona ex ceed'ngly well this past season. On Sunday the members of the Persimmon Club met at Christine's, 292G Ridge avenue, prepared to take their weekly run, which was by way of. Wlsaahlckon to Barren Hill, Chestnut Hill and Germantown, returning by-the way of Swampoodle. Gander Hill and Stifftown. They spent a very, pleasant day, considering the- tlma consumed in repairing a broken seat and another's hind wheel, which got balky.

They covered about thirty two miles in creditable time and reached home before dark. The bicycle race at the University of Pennsylvania games Wednesday af-' ternoon, November 0, promises to be the attraction of the day. There Is a. rivalry for supremacy among the wheelmen at the University, and all the men will work hard for first placo In order to score points to make them eligible for the team next spring. As the race is to be a handicap event, the question of placing the men on their proper mark is a very serious one.

The slightest mistake on the part of. the handicapper migfit prove a great Injustice to the riders, and on this account the records of the different riders are beir.g carefully Investigated, and a good race-may be expected.

W. H. Thompson plays left tackle. He has learned all his football with the C. A.

Hadden. the old Michigan player, is the other tackle. He played with that university for three vears both at end and tackle. He stands feet 1 inch and weighs 17o pounds. He is one of the best men on the team, running with the ball and is especially strong in interference.

His ability to play either end or tackle makes him especially valua ble. J. R. Hadelson is the right end, and is a well known player. He started in this season with the Northwestern, but left that team after the trouble they experienced in changing captains.

Hudelson stands feet lO inches and weighs 104 pounds. He has had as much experience as any man on the team and understands all the styles of playing thoroughly. These men make a team of as good players as can generally be brought together outside a college. With the amount of time for- practice at their disposal they could be made to equal any college team in the country. Being all engaged In business it is absolutely impossible for them to perfect their team work.

The line will be found to be remarkably strong, while the backs are all fast runners and good, hard tacklers. YALE AND DARTMOUTH The Bine Scores Thirty-two Points Aprainst the Hanover Boys. Special to The Inquirer. NEW HAVEN, Oct. 30.

Yale secured but six more points from Dartmouth in the game to-day than she scored against the Hajiover boys two weeks ago, the final score to-day being 32 to 0. This may be accounted for by the fact that Chadwick dropped ten points by hlsl failures to kick goals, mtesing five out of six attempts, and also because of the substitutes whom Captain Thorne ordered into the game. As a matter of fact, Yale played with a great deal of life, and her aggressive work showed improvement over that of last Saturday against the B. A. A.

The old looseness in defense was again apparent in the half, however, when Dartmouth broke through twice in succession, blocking kicks. Captain McCormack said of Yale's progress during the past two weeks: "Yale has improved in Interference greatly, her end plays are well executed, and the whole team starts quickly. Her punting is especially strong." Chadwick and Rodgers were in every play to-day, and Louis Hin-key and Hazen did some great work at the ends. Jerrem's punting, catching and line-bucking won him much applause. The work of Cavanaugh, Crolius and Abbott for Dartmouth was par excellence.

Captain Thorne was in uniform but did not play. "Josh" Bartwell and Frank Hinkey compared notes during the game, and appeared well satisfied with the result. The line-up follows: Yale. Position. Dartmouth.

Hazen Left End Lakeman Rodgers Left Tackle. Abbott, Walker Chadwick Left Guard Randall Cross Centre Sheldon Right Guard Marshall Murphy, Chamberlain Right Tackle Lewis L. Hinkey Right End Cavanaugh Fincke, Polk Quarterback McCormack Benjamin, Mills. Left Half Back Eckstrom DeWltt. Hammon.
