Stuart said he had not taken into consideration the idea of offering a purse for a fight between Sharkey and the winner cf the Choynski-Maher contest, if that match can be brought about, though he said that Sharkey was one of the likeliest men he had ever seen. Stuart will return to Texas in a few days. In the meantime local sports are wondering what can be the purpose of his appearance in this city.

The Orange A. C. are having a hard time of it trying to replace Uffenheimer, now with Pennsylvania. He played a great game at tackle last year. $33 The Practice orr Franklin Field Shows Very Marked Improvement.

WEEKS TO PLAY QUARTER The Scrub Player Taken on the 'Varsity for Saturday's Game With Lafayette Tickets Selling Fast. Coach Woodruff had the men out a half-hour earlier yesterday. The quarter-back problem seems to worry him, as Weeks, Harrison and Orbison were each given signal practice in that position. Wiley Woodruff was very successful in his tries for goals from the field in the practice. Woodruff called his men together, explained to each man his faults and told them the remedy.

Special stress was laid upon aggressiveness and quick starts. In signal practice all but Weeks did well. Weeks is mew to the position, and is excusable because the signals and plays were unfamiliar. At 5 P. M.

the 'Varsity lined up against the scrub as follows: Varsity. Boyle Uffenheimer. Stannard. v. Overfleld Wharton Farrar Hedges Weeks.

Morice Minds W. Woodruff. Positions. Scrub. Ambruster.

Tismer Legget Zlegler Handcock Newton Left end Left tackle Left guard Centre Right guard liight tackle Risrht end Wilson Quarter-back Fortescue Left half-back Keys Right half-back Outland Full-back Walker Time clayed 50 minutes. Umpire Orbison. Referee B. Dickson. Touchdowns Hedges.

Minds, Wharton, Morice, Jackson. Carnett, Weeks. Substituted Carnett for Wharton; Jackson for W. Woodruff: K. Dickson for Weeks; McDevitt for Legget.

The scrub kicked off, and the good runs by Minds. Morice, "Uffle" and Wharton scored a touchdown in about two minutes. The fumbling was less evident and the 'Varsity scored at will, making 28 points and trying no goals. The scrub introduced their "Outland-Murphy-Guards-Back" combination, and made some good gains. Wiley Woodruff hurt his foot again and laid off.

Wharton's old knee gave way to-day, and he laid off shortly after the start. It may keep him out of Saturday's game. The best playing for the scrub was done by the back field. Every man on the 'Varsity played with spirit and dash. While "Jack" Minds was giving the signals after Wharton was injured the team tore up the scrub beautifully.

To Brooke and Williams much of the vim and energy displayed was due, for by their vigorous, very vigorous, coaching the men were Imbued with the old-time action. The npw grandstand is nearlv comple ted, and Lafayette's delegation of 500 are assured of seats togetner. ine officers for Saturday's game will be: Laurie Bliss, referee, and "Pa" Corbln, pire, both of Yale. Doctor White has sentenced Coombs to a fnrtnisrht unon crutches. With the ex ceotion of Woodruff and Wharton, the team's rrmdition is verv much Detter, Eastonians refuse all bets, except at the heavy odds of 4 to 1 on tneir victory, and even, money on scoring.

Gelbert's bruises kept him out of the practice yesterday. He watched the men closely from time to time giving the new men a hint from his valuable ex perience. 'The nrnrtlce was the most spirited of the vear, giving general satisfaction to coach, players and spectators. Minds' punts were low, far-reaching and hard to judge, and his voice" rang out convincingly clear upon each signal. The guards jumped for the line and struck it with great force.

On the end plays each player took his man and kept him out of th Tlav. Six and seven men were down under the kicks, tackling sure and hard. Only one man fumbled at all. Weeks. On the defense the men encouraged each other in low tones, pledged mutual support and smashed the opposing formation.

Only twice did the Scrub make gains of four or five yards. All seemed to realize the importance of awaking from their lethargy and playing good football. The men who will line up against Lafayette are practically decided upon. Wharton will go in, and if his sprained knee goes back on him Carnett will take his place. If Weeks continues to improve he will probably play quarter.

The rest of the team will be Boyle, left end; Uffenheimer, left tackle; Stannard, left guard; Overfleld, centre; "Wharton, right guard; Farrar, right tackle; Dickson, right end; WTeeks quarter-back; Gelbert, left half-back; Minds, right half-back; Woodruff, full-back. The sale of tickets for the Lafayette-Pennsylvania game on Saturday is progressing rapidly at Spalding's. The prices of tickets, including a reserved seat, are fifty cents, seventy-five cents and $1, according to location. As there will be a large attendance at the game, probably greater than can be provided for by the present limited accommodations, the treasurer would advise all patrons of the game to purchase their tickets on Friday. Holders of tickets for the south stand will be admitted only at the entrance on South street, and holders of tickets for the north stand will be admitted only at the corner of Thirty-third and Locust streets.

A rare case of school-boy pluck occurred at Boston on Saturday in a game between Dorchester High School and Fran'klin A. A. Leo Lent, who plays right end on the Franklin team, had his jaw broken in twt places soon after the ball was put in play by landing- on a Dorchester boy's head in a scrimmage. He refused to leave the game, however, and stuck it out to the finish. He was always in the thick of the fight, making some excellent tackles and breaking up the interference in grand style.

A couple of old Brown men, Hopkins and Williard, ave joined the Orange Athletic Club. They will play in the game against the Boston. Athletic Association next Saturday. The Duquesne Country Club's eleven are being coached by McClung, the famous Princeton player. "Pop" Warner and Saussy, both old Cornell men, the latter a member of the 'Varsity last fall, are coaching the University of Georgia eleven.

Phil Draper, of Williams, Is now playing full-back on the Chicago A. A. In the match last Saturday against the Chi- cago, Philip kicked no less than nine goals. Cleveland has a McKinley football team and it won the first game of the season last Saturday. The University of Pennsylvania has six 'Varsity men on the football list.

N. Y. Evening World. Kind of strange. They usually have eleven.

Scales, of West Point, Is a very strong man at tackle. HE GOT POINTERS A albritlKO Thinks He Knows All A hoot Fenn'a Play. Special to The Inquirer. EASTON. Oct.

"22. This afternoon's practice was the last hard practice before the big game takes placer "The 'varsity played two thirty-five-minute halves and came out unfatigued. The team never was in a better condition than at present. This afternoon Thome, "Rush" Harry, Lafayette's old "famous half-back, and Coach Davis instructed the detail and signal work. Despite Coach Davis' Injured shoulder, from which he suffers great pain, he was on the field during the entire practice ad-, vising and overseeing the maneuvers.

Captain Walbridge came back from Philadelphia filled with U. P. tactics and in the gymnasium to-night he made his rren go through practice to overcome the end plays. The line-up Saturday is yet In an uncertain condition, and this is giving Coach Davis much anxiety, but to-night he decided to place Yost at left tackle and Worthington at end. With this change the team remains the same 4 as in the Princeton game.

I DG DIDN'T WANT BREIT Phillies, for Good Reasons Didn't Sign the Great Sonthpaw. Secretary Shettsline, of the Philadelphia Club, talking about the transfer Breitenstein to the Cincinnati Reds, yesterday said: "We do not regret the purchase of tly release of Breitenstein by Cincinnati. is well understood that he could have been secured any time during the latter part of the season for a cash consideration. During the early part of the season we were of the opinion that an even trade could be made for him by giving up one of our pitchers, but Manager after consulting everybody on the subject, said that it would' not be advisable to have Mr. Breitenstein a member of the team.

Outside of the question enforcement of discipline, already cif-flcult among some of the Philadelphia players, Mr. Breitenstein has been deteriorating in his pitching, having been hit hard by nearly every other club but Philadelphia prior to I8O6. Manager Nash, therefore, etoed all thought of trade or purchase. The experience of the season just closed shows that this action was wise, as the Philadelphia Club did its share of hitting Breitenstein, that if such a large sum of money was paid for his release St. Louis is to congratulated, and not Cincinnati, on the deal.

"As to the rumors of deals with th St. Louis Club involving an exchange Cross, Hulen and Hallman for Kis-senger, Myers and Monte Cross, there no foundation for them. Negotiations have not even been opened' by the St. Louis Club for such a trade, and although Manager Dowd is reported as having stated that he is going to make that trade, it requires two sides to close bargain, and the officials of the Philadelphia Club have certainly no intention making such a ridiculous exchange. "We are receiving numerous letters and protests against that particular transaction, but we ask all our friends wait until a trade is actually made, when It will be officially announced."

MUST HAVE STARS An Offer for a Big Billiard. Tournament Is Mailt CHICAGO, Oct, 22. The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company has made the following proposition for an International billiard tournament and in the event of this not materializing, an offer for a tournament confined to American players: "We will give a purse of $7500 for prizes to be contested for in two six-night tournaments, one at New York city and one at Chicago, at 14 or 18-inch balk line, one shot in balk, anchor barred, 600 points each game. It stipulated that at least two of the three leading American players, Ives, Shaefer and Slosson, shall take part In the tournament, and that two of the leading French players shall also enter, but the tcurnament is not restricted to those four entries. The entries will close on November 21.

"In case this proposition does not meet with the responses hoped for, we will make another offer to American professional players only. We will give as prizes for two tournaments, one at New York city and one at Chicago, provided that no less than two of the three leading players, Ives, Shaefer and Slios-son, take part and also that not less than five players in all compete in each tournament, but the entries ax not limited to that number." of It of a so bo of is a of to a 6 a. o' 1 5 Black Dress Drap Ete dear to grandmother is back UOOdS back with a bound that is putting it ahead of many of the stuffs that have been counted as leaders of the season.

BICYCLE NEWS The entry list for the "Hustlers" race meet, which is to be held at Tioga track to-morrow afternoon, closed yesterday. The list is a large one for this season of the year, and including as It does many of the best riders of Pennsylvania, there promises to be some fast and exciting racing. The novice race received little support, only three entries being received, and this event has been called off.

All the other races, however, are well filled. The men who will participate in the record-breaking trials are ready for their onslaughts on Father Time, and if the wind is favorable good time may be expected. In addition to Bob McCurdy's trial for the hour record, C. A. Church will try for the mile paced record, while E.

S. Aker will endeavor to supplant Parson's figures of 1.52 for the mile. In Pittsburg the fight against T. J. Keenan, for vice-consul of the Pennsylvania Division of the L.

A. W. grows fiercer every day. J. B.

Kaercher has this to say about Mr. Keenan's work: "The vice-consul claims that the growth of the L. A. W. membership in Pittsburg has been phenomenal during his administration.

For the week of October 2 the State increase was 107, Philadelphia having 67 and Pittsburg 5. For the week of October 9 the State had 154 new members, Philadelphia haying 82 and Pittsburg 7. Last week, ending Oo-tober 16, the State growth was 118, Philadelphia getting, 75 and Pittsburg 4. The last three weeks should have been crowded with new members after the late successful State meet. Yet Philadelphia, with a population only five times as great as Pittsburg, secured 14 times as many new members for the L.

A. W. Further, the vice-consul so bitterly opposed the Flinn good roads bill that Allegheny county has received no benefit from legislation that was favored by wheelmen in all parts of the State in the interest of good roads." F. T. F.

Lovejoy, secretary of the Carnegie Steel Company and president of the Keystone Bicycle Club, speaking of the claim of Mr. Keenan that the ballot sent out by the friends of Dr. Mer-cur is illegal, said: "As is the right of any members, under the national and division by-laws, our committee sent out on October 15 a ticket, with a circular, requesting votes for Dr. Mercur. Keenan alleged that our ticket is illegal, citing a mythical section 10 of article 5 of the by-laws.

We replied that no such section existed. He said then that article 10 is an amendment. We said on Thursday last, and now repeat It with confidence In Its truth: Not a single amendment to the constitution and by-laws of 1894 is in existence. There may be some on the minutes, but not one has been published in the official paper, the L. A.

W. Bulletin, as stipulated in article 9 of the by-laws. The Pennsylvania division bylaws are an absurd collection of shreds and patches, thanks to the brilliant minds who cause themselves to be reelected division officials year after year, but they will not permit the disfranchising of two-thirds of the members, nor the usurpation of all power by the ring that has been running this division too many years. The tickets sent out by this committee, if voted between October 15 and November 15, will be counted just as similar tickets were counted two years ago, when the same sub-committee now being attacked by Keenan caused him to be elected as vice-consul. The following members of the Century Wheelmen have been appointed a Theatrical Committee, which will take complete charge of all entertainments held in the club's complete little theatre during the coming season: Walter A.
