Davis, 20 to 1 LAST DAY OF THE RACING SEASON THE WIND-UP AT MORRIS PARK WAS IN KEEPING They Were Outplayed at all Point by Our Sturdy The post poned game of association football between tbe Phillies and Gos Scbmelz's aggregation from Washington was piayed yesterday at Broad and Huntingdon street, and It resulted In a well-earned victory tor the local eleven by the score of four goals to one. It was by far the best game that baa been seen so far In this city, and the weather whs all that could be desired for tbe snort The Phillies have Improved wonderfully in their playing, and despite tbe fact tbat they were minus the services of tbelr captalni Wilson, who bad to quit the game shortly after It bud commenced, and that Wetetat-man Is suffering from a badly wrenched ankle, they completely smothered their opponents.

The work of D. Cochran was especially noteworthy, his patting And dribbling being excellent. For the visitors Lynch, Devlin, and Tiffany played In good form. The forward playing of tbe Phillies was alo good, and Deardon time and time again saved hU goal by goodstop Play wub started promptly on time by Referee Sehot-k. wftn the hull In Washington's possession aod the wind tn their favor.

Dear opened the game by dribbling Hnd by fata play the ball was worked down the field through the right wine- The Phillies then got the ball on a throw in and by rood work forced a corner, but nothing resulted. On the kick out the Washlngtou forwards took the bull, and by good passing forced D. Cochran to a corner. On the throw in Davis in trying! to bead the ball out, sent it In. and tbe first goal went to the visitors in three minutes play.

This seemed to put life into the home players and they went at their work with a wilt. Lough ran put the ball in play and bv good, fast work on the cart of the wings It was worked well down the field. A corner followed and the throw In wan well returned by1 Lynch. Hellly then kicked back and the ball struck the coal post, rebounding Into the field. Here was taken by J.

Cochran, who by a good, quick snoot scored a goal. Time, three minutes. Play was again started from tbe centre. Pean put the ball In play by the usual dribbling. The play was fust on both Bides, both ends of the field being visited In quick succession.

The visitors were now tbe ageressors and Deardon saved twice by good stops and throws. Then the home team took a hand at forcing matters and Lvnch was called upon to Kick for safety. The Cochrans then secured the ball mid by some clever work took It down the field through the right, wing. After twenty minutes of hard, fnt playing D. Cochran kicked auotber goal for the Phillies.

From that time until the end of the first half neither side could increase Us score, despite their best efforts, the play being for the most part around the Washington's goal. Lynch played well and saved wheuever called on. The whistle sounded with the ball mid-field. Score first half Philadelphia, Washington, 1. After the five minutes' rest, and with a change of poaN, the game was started again, this time with the wind in favor of the home team.

The hall was kept constantly moving yvjand down the held, an unusual amount of kicking being Indulged in by the backs. Both sides took a turn at forcing things, but without succeed. After fifteen minutes of play the bail began to settle down in Washington territory and lor the balance of the time It stayed there. This playing showed the visiting baeks up to great advantage, and the work of Lynch, Devlin and Tiffany was very good. Time and time again they saved, but D.

Cochran finally got one past them after twenty-eight minutes had elapsed. It was a eood piece of Individual work on bis part and by a very accurate shoot. Rellly distinguished himself soon after this by being disqualified for fouling, but bis offense was not nearly so palpable as some others that occurred during the game, notably In one Instance Lynch. The Phillies again became the aggressors and kept the ball dangerously near the visitors' goal, but they could not get it through the backs, try as they might. Time and time again these players saved only to he again assailed a few moments later.

In one of these onslaughts Welghtnian was successful aud eleven minutes was the time consumed. From that until the call of time neither side could score, and the game ended with the ball amtd-field and the score: Philadelphia, Washington, 1. The teams lined up us follows: Washinoton.

How Nassau Stands on the Harvard Foot-Ball Game. Special Telegram to The Tijivs. Princeton, October 15. The following article appeared In this evening's Pri'nceonian relative to Princeton's position In arranging a game with Harvard Keen disappointment Is manifest among the Princeton undergraduates over the seemingly assured fact that another foot-ball sea-eon Is about to pass without a Harvard game. Many rumors and alleged Interviews have been published about the negotiations for this game, some of which have been of a misleading character.

To clear up the consequent confusion which exists In the minds of many we publish the followlug account of the negotiations as viewed from a Princeton standpoint: Last spring one of the Princeton foot-ball representatives was In Cambridge, and saw Captain Emmons, of the Harvard eleven, who expressed a desire to play Princeton this fail, but doubted If tbe consent of tbe Harvard faculty committee could be obtained. Nothing further was done for some time. While the Princeton candidates were at Quogue James Lee, Harvard, '90, visited them, and suld that the Harvard undergraduates wished to see tbe game played, and the New York and Chicago aiumul were eager lor it Alt this bad been Informal. Hhortly after college opened Captain Trencbard wrote formally to Captain Emmons, and suggested tbat a committee, consisting of the two captains and an alumnus from each college, meet and consider the situation with a view to arranging a game. About two weeks ago a reply was received from Captain Emmons staling tbat Harvard could not play three hard games, and tbat as Harvard had already agreed to play tbe University of Pennsylvania and Yule thfa season, a Princeton game would be impossible.

It will thus be seen that although Princeton Is In a position to receive advances, she has actually gone more than half way, and that the Harvard undergraduates and aiumul want tbe game. It is almost unnecessary to add that every Princeton man Is anxious to have the teams meet, aud that the Princeton management Is willing to concede much to have the twoelevens line up opposite each other. The Harvard athletic managers are clearly the obstruction. What reasons they have for preventing the game, aside from the rather lame one given above, we do not presume to sav. If the Princeton management should decide to send Ht this late day a formal challenge to the Harvard team the Issue will be clearly set forth, but if not, we wish to make it clear that Harvard, whether In a sportsmanlike way or not we will let others decide, has met Prlucetou's advances with a refusal.

PRINCETON HAD TO WORK HARD. The University of Virginia Made the TJaers Hustle. Baltimore, October 15. Princeton only succeeded In scoring two touch-downs and a safety In two twenty-minute halves against the University of Virginia this afternoon, and bad several of the narrowest kind of escapes from being scored against. Tbe Vir ginia men snowea up in nneiorm, particularly In defensive work.

Princeton's centre whs verv weak, and Virginia broke through again and again, while the Virginia centre held like a stone wall, ana rrinceton was only able to get tn around the ends. AH of Princeton's points were made In the first half and were due largely to tlte great work of Morse. He was laid up at the end of the ball and Harnett look bis place. In tbe second half Virginia kept the ball tn Prince ton territory a third 01 tne time, wnne Princeton did not get within ten yards of her goal once, and Virginia owes much toMudd's superb tackling.

The first eleven tried an entirely new system of Interference, and barring a few bitches natural to a first trial It went off better than anything that baB been tried on Soldiers' field this year. Bert Waters came out for a little light practice and will train regularly from now on. Edgar Wrlgbtlngton also played for the first time since he received the injury to his knee two weeks ago.

The course was off tne Red Mill Pier on the Jersey shore, back of Petty's Island, to and around flags placed one-balf mile dead to leeward and return, making a course of exactly one mile. There were seven entries, but only three completed the course, the others being more or less disabled.

October 15. In less than four rounds to-night Joe Walcott, of Boston, Tom O'Ronrke's colored wonder, succeeded In stopping Austin Gibbons, tbe Pat-erson llgbt-weigbt, and at the same time pushed himself right to tbe front of bis own class. The fight was at 140 pounds, ten rounds, but tbe pace waB too fast for the Jersey man and he was practically out alter a right-band swing nad sent him to the floor. Tbe mill was pulled off by tbe Atlantic Athletic Club iu the Sea Heacb Palacev here, aud was the final of a series of three which served to formally Introduce the flub to the public. fair crowd attended and all three contents had something of excitement In tbera.

The third, however, was most scientific and clearly demonstrated Walcoit's ability to put up bis hands with the best In bis weight. There was a very apparent difference in tbe size of the men. Gibbons was much the taller and more lanky. At the outset he seemed to underestimate somewhat tbe abili ties of his opponent, but was wary nevertheless. It took tbe colored lad two rounds to size Gibbons up and then he went at nim fu riously, and although tbe latter showed no lack of aggressiveness himself, Walcott's heavy blows proved too much for him and ha was carried to his corner before the conclu sion of the fourth very badly punished.

Although Gibbons wanted to resume, tbe fight was awarded to walcott. The curtain raiser was a bout between Tiro Murphy, of the Pastime Athletic Club, and Jerry Sullivan, of Brooklyn. It was some what tame until the fourth round wben Mur phy did some furious work and was riven the fifllU Billy Ernst, of Brooklyn, and Jim Holmes, of New York, met at 1H3 pounds, and after five rounds of hard flehtimr, Fmst was declared the winner, Holmes having Injured bis arm severely during a period of Infiebtlng. The colored man was first in the ring, appearing In black trnnKs. Gibbons, alter a long Interval, followed in blue trunks.

Just before lime was culled, "Young Griffo" entered the ring and said he wanted to place his money right there to fight the winner or any other mau Tom O'Rourke offered to oblige him, but the police stepped up and stopped further parley. Round 1 Walcott led Quickly with the right and followed It with several heavy body blows on Gibbons. The latter was short. The colored hoy showed good form with both rleht nim ten. lore mi? nun on to tne ropes.

They clinched and fill) bona made a magnificent body hlow with the left wben the gong sounuea. Round 2 Walcott landed with the left on Gibbons' forehead aud then on the chest. He continued rising bis left effectively Hnd drove his man again to the ropes, and when right in his corner Gibbons slipped down. Gibbons tben got in a good punch with his right, upper-cutting the colored boy twice. He made aieoodstand, but the score was against him when the ronnd closed.

Rounds Gibbons led a wicked left on the body when the coon got In a good right- nanaer. iney nna a last exchange or blows. On coming together Gibbons assumed tho aggressive and landed efiectlvely on Walcott's bead. Walcott made a furious onslaught and, alter landing strongly on Gibbon's body, acored a clean knock-down. Round 4 The Jersey man Bhowed the effects of the blow when be came to the centre of the ring In this round.

Walcott went at him on the run and pummelea bis opponent ail over the ring. They clinched frequently and Olbbons was driven on the ropes. At the breakaway Walcott wentat blm again with even more vigor aod knocked him down with a succession of two or three blows. Gibbons was carried to his corner by his brother, Jim, and the fight ended. PIUE0N FLYING NEWS.

The birds of each lot returned all together. The first to go into the loft and, therefore, to have time were Barbara at 12.44 P. speed 1,317.3 yards Bishop at 1.40 P. speed 1,198 yards. The speed of Barbara Is within three tenths of a yard of the speed with which Hayes, holds tbe lead, but, being hen, It wouldn't count If three-tenths better, tbe competition being limited to males.

The speed, however, Is the best of the year for hens from tbe distance, as that of Bishop Is tbe best as yet made In this fall's flying. The next trial for the prize will be by the Media (nub, tbe birds to be shipped to-night. The entry for this is: George W. Mat hues, 10; Albert E. W.

(From the Evening Xnot, N.

Albert Applebee was a very sick man. He bad been ailing for months, and bad been compelled! to remain home, unable to attend to bis business. His friends stood or sat about the few small stores in the village of Borodino and discussed his sad condition. Applebee was a carpenter, and a oue. too, but since his strange malady overtook faira he had not Bhown any disposition to do any work.

Life had lost lbs charms for him, be became a misanthrope and lost interest in everything. His friends advised him and the local doctors tried their skill on him, but it was of no avail. Although they, no doubt, diagnosed his case correctly, he grew worse despite their efforts. Then came a change he entirely recovered his former self and soon went about his work whistling as blithely as a lark. Now he is just the same genial, jovial fellow that he was before.

This was a surprise, for everybody had given him up for dead. His remarkable recovery had made such a stir in the small town and tbe townspeople were regarding it as so miraculous that a News reporter was sent out to Borodino to investigate. He drove over and found Mr. Applebee hard at work on the roof of a house he was building. When asked if he would mind relating his experience to a reporter, Mr.

Applebee expressed his acquiescence by coming down to the ground. He came down the ladder without showing any signs of his recent trouble and laughed with a good hearty bugh as he shook the reporter by the band with a squeeze that betokened much physical strength. Well, it was just this way," began the carpenter, wbo is a good-looking man of about fifty summers. "In the fall of 1H90 I had a siege of grip, which took me by tbe heels and threw me flat on my back in bed. It was a pretty rough time for me.

ns I was very sick and I never expected to go out again, except feet first in a coffin. But I recovered alter a long sickness, but was left with an ailment which was quite as dangerous and infinitely more painful. I had scrofula in my head for two years and a half or over and there was a sickening discbarge from my rieiit ear. I took about every medicine known to the medical fraternity, but could got no benefit, "I was also troubled with a severe pain in the stomach and indigestion, which made mo feel tbat life was not worth living. Last fall I began taking a medicine known as Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which were recommended by a friend whose wife had read of them in some of the country nn- I pers. But I gave it a trial nnd was surprised to find that it benefited mo. I tried more and persevered and at last, thank God, I was cured. My car has discontinued discharging and for the past three months I havo been perfectly well. I make these state' ments merely because I think the world should be acquainted with this remarkable remedy.

Mr. Applebee finished his story and climbed tho ladder to resume his work. There was no halting about his footsteps, and in about as little time as it takes to tell it lie was hammering shingles iu the roof, sitting there the picture of health. Several of Mr. Applcbee's neighbors were seen by the reporter, and they in (urn expressed their confidence in Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills after seeing the wonderful change they had wrought, on him. One said the cure was simply wonderful, ss the man had lost his appetite and could not sleep and was a total wreck. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been found Under analysis to contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to givo now life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They arc an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.

Vitus' diuice, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache and the after effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale aud sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in mule or female, aud all diseases resulting from vitiated diseases of tho blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price (50 cents a box or flix boxes for $2.50. They are never sold in bulk or by the hundred), by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Schenectady, N.

Y. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment inexpensive as compared with any other remedy. THE SCRUB SCORES AGAIN. A Stronger Team Meets the 'Varsity Than Has Yet Played There. I The strongest team that the 'Varsity has met was got together of scrub men yesterday and played a lively game.

Tbe regular eleven were kept on their feet from start to finish, and as a result played with a dash and fierceness never before exbiblted. They were tben unable to stop the scrub's advances, and by a series of clever dashes the reserve men managed to gain tbelr way around tne ends over tbe line. McKeever rejoined tbe men at work and played a rattling game, getting Into everything. He will be out regularly from this on. A second man made his reappearance In the field, Thomas Thomas, the clever half-back of last year, having entirely recovered from his broken collar bone.

He will add materially to tbe strength of tbe team In the back field and be Invaluable should any of the present men be hurt Williams again played a star game at quarter and certainly deserves recognition. The game ended with a score of 12 to 4. The two teams lined up thus 'Varsity. Scrub. Dickson Left end Wagenhurat Left tackle Ton Calver Lelt guard Tismer Hiill Centre Hancock Wharton Right guard G.

Leo Elected Captain In Place of Pome- roy, Resigned. Special Telegram to Tbk Times. I Middletown, October 15. Alexander H. Leo, '96, of Philadelphia, was this afternoon elected captain of Wesleyan's foot-ball team In place of A.

C. Pomeroy, of Brooklyn, who resigned. The Immediate cause was the team's three successive defeats by the Orange Athletic Club, Amherst and Arhherst Aggies. Pomeroy will retain his position at end. Leo prepared for oollege at Pennington Seminary and has played on the 'Varsity for four years, he having been two years ago a very prominent candidate for captain.

His usual position Is at tackle, where he has generally put up a good game. Though at present laid up by Injuries received in the Orange game, he will probably be on the field again In a few days. Tbe team is further embarrassed by tbe flnanclnl condition of the loot-ball association. This afternoon, however, several old players were nn the field for tbe first time thl4 season, while Manager Kieele, of last yeijr's team Harvey Howard, Wesleyan's furnous tackle, and other former players were on hand to act as coaches. The defeats suffered may thus finally make the team considerably stronger than would otherwise have been ttie cane and 'Wesleyan pluck" may as In times past bring victory out of seeming defeat.

The general material is excellent. jA drugstore that nobody's afraid of a s's every-thlhar-else store too. 11(1 Chestnut. Klgbthand Aroh. North front.

Pitchers McMnhon and Gleason, of the champion base nail team, lefmaltlniore for hlladelphla at noon to-day, alter paying their fines for cruelly assaulting a policeman past 60 years of age.

With but two exceptions tbe players have done nothing to lose the respect of their friends. Gleason struck the old policeman nt Camden Station yesterday because be tried to prevent a disturDuoce. John Murphy, the feather-weight pugilist, ho was with Gleasuu and McMnhon, also knocked down theoinccr.

McMahon escaped when other officers ctuna to the asHistance of Policeman Lerp. He took refuge In the hotel of Jake Kilrain, the pugilist, near the rnllway station. Wben theotrl-cers tried to serve a warrant on him this morning Kilrain denied i hat McMahon was In bis house, but when the sergeant threatened to search the hotel the pugilist gave the pitcher up to tbe authorities. Murphy, Gleason and McMahon were each fined 25 and costH, which thev paid and were dismissed. The Injured policeman was badly bruised about the head and his teeth were driven through his tongue bv one of the blows.

Colonel E. T. Jovee, a prominent citizen, wbo went to the assistance of the policeman and came near receiving a blow from McMahon himself. Is one of the Baltimore Club's best friends. He savs he thought the men hnd more respect for the citizens of Baltimore who had entertained them so handsomHy than to get into a drunken brawl and assault a policeman.

Morris Park, October 15. HIS.

the last day of the racing season of 1804, was a memora ble season for many reason the chief of which is that it marked the first year of the Jockey Club and its methods. The stewards appointed at the various meet ides bare overlooked many things. They have watched the track, however, for the most part closely when small or poor racing was concerned and acted promptly in the fouls. There have been more disqualifications for fools this season than ever before. The crack jockeys have also come in for their share of the punishment meted out.

The most glaring foul ever perpetrated upon a race track, however, was committed almost under the judges' and stewards' noses at Sbeepshend Bay and passed unnoticed. Simms was the delinquent. He was riding Banquet The latter was beaten, when he deliberately struck Ramapo across the face with his whip three times. Raniapo's head went up in the air on each occasion. He came again, however, and made a dead beat of it.

The foul was seen by everyone but the stewards and the judges. They insisted that no foul had been committed. Garrison, who rode Ramapo. claimed a foul, but the Dwyer luck prevailed. This event led to a quarrel between P.

,1. Dwyer and David Gideon. The quarrel and the race itself was the most disgraceful occurrence of the year. It will shortly be rehashed in a court of law. GIDEON AND PALY HEAD THE WINNERS.

A number of tricksters have got their just deserts, but to entirely purify the turf there is more ahead of the Jockey Club than it dare attempt to accomplish. The season, however, has, from a racing and a financial point of view, been a highly successful one. The proprietary tracks have done much to mar the sport, but the rules of the Jockey Clnb, where fully enforced, have had a beneficial result. Messrs. Gideon and Daly head the list of winning owners for the second time in their brief but popular turf career.

Their winnings for the season aggregate over $117,000. Butterflies and Ramapo were the eh let bread winners ot the stable. Kamapo won the great Metropolitan anil Suburban handicaps. By a strange Nemesis of fate. Dr.

Rice, a cast-off from this stable, won the Brooklyn handicap. The Butterflies' chief victory was the Futurity. James R. and James P. Kecne.

who headed the list of winning owners last year, are second with SS! JU6 to their credit. Agitation and Domino earned the bulk of this money, tt. Croker's Manhattan Stable, with $75,522, is third. F. Dwyer, who controls and directs the Manhattan Stable, won Then comes the Messrs.

J. 11. and A. 1. Morns with 50.1.800.

This stable started out brilliantly, but did not stay. Byron M'-Clclland's stakes and purses amount Henry or jNavarre. the champion and king of the turf, won most of this sum. The Oneck Stable, the defunct firm of Leigh Rose, and are big winners. NEW OFFICERS AT SARATOGA.

President Walbaum, of the Saratoga Racing Association, was among the spectators. There has been some talk of a change among the officers of the Saratoga track, and Walbaum said: "My associates have been asking me to change the men for some time past. The bulk of our patronage iB from the West. I was pleased with the work done by Colonel Louis Clarke in the judges' stand at Latonia. Secretary Hopper's and Starter Pettigrew's work also pleased me, so I engaged them to act at Saratoga next season.

"I am not dissatisfied with Messrs. Burk, Campbell and Whitehead, and only make the change to oblige my partners. "I am willing to do as much for horse racing as any man in the country. I don't, however, want too much interference in the stakes or other things that 1 give." THE FAVORITE WON EASILY. Jack of Spades was installed favorite for the first race, a Consolation dash of five furlongs over the Eclipse course.

He won the race very easily in fast time. Harrington, who was third favorite, got the place after a stiff argument with Ed Kearney. Peacemaker carried enough money to send him to the post a hot second choice. He was an indifferent fourth. Discount was the false favorite for the second race.

He finished in the ruck. Lustre turned up the winner. Hot time, 1.093, is within three-quarters of a second of Domino's famous record for six furlongs. There were fourteen contestants in the White Plains handicap. This was too large a field for Starter liowe to cope with.

It look him just forty-two minutes to get the field away in bad order. Magiau, who has developed into quite an in and outer, won. His Btarting price was 15 to 1. This, of course, was based upon bis wretched race of a few days ago. It was his turn to win today, and he did.

Counter Tenor, however, gave him a tussle for first Starter Rowe got even for the delay at the post in the, third race by reporting all the jockeys engaged but Taral, Doggett and Simms. All but these three were fined $25 each. Silvie and Owlet crossed Halma just as they broke. Hatnia stumbled and threw Clayton. The crack feather-weight escaped uninjured.

Halma finished the race and returned to the scales riderless, like an old cnnipnigner. They were sent away for the fourth race on the second trial. Prig at once settled down as the pacemaker. He piloted the field to the foot of the incline, where he gave way to Assignee. The latter's bolt was shot when they reached the water-tower, and Declare took up the running.

He managed to last to the end, and won in a hard drive by a bead. Our Jack secured the place from Sir Excess by the comfortable margin of four lengths. The great special race is easily described. Sir Walter took the lead the instant the flag fell. Ho held it to the end and won in a bat drive by an open length.

Clifford and Rubicon remained on practically even terms until the last turlong post was reached. The pace then began to tell upon them. Clifford tried to close upon Sir Walter, and Rubicon at once fell hack beaten. He finished four lengths behind the leaders. Lucania won the sixth race; Sadie was second and Chicot third.
