In all probability an eleven from this elty will visit (island in 1MH, and tha result of tha Australian matches baa raixd tha question as to tha advisability of measuring oar strength with the crack KnglUh counties. Doubtless on fast, true wickets they would be very good matches, but on tha sticky wicket wa should find ourselves much weaker in both bowling and batting than the majority of our opponents, and tha results might be very dish cartoning.

It must also be remembered that the strain of a tour ts also very apt to tall on a vlilting team, especially on the bowlers. Undoubtedly the trip should be a mora ambitious one than either ol the prevlousoncs, and some medium between first and second-class mate hos might be arranged, such as a schedule which would embrace, among others, matches against tha Gentlemen of England, Oxford, Cambridge, Oxford and Cambridge, Pant and Present, I Ztngarl, Gloucestershire, Sussex, Somersetshire.

Captain Frank in key, lbs Yala foot-ball oomniandtT, wore a worried expression and motb-eutrn Jersey this arternoun, and thought fast and furiously. Yale played Dartmouth, and although a score of IV toOwaa run up, the hiue-lrggfd rushers narrowly escaped being scored on, and put up a thoroughly unsatisfactory game. There were few symptoms of Interference, any quantity of tumbling and a weakness lu defensive play that wll-nlgh proved curtly. Dartmouth used little leas limn mais plays on tue tucklea and guards and made astonishing gains at times. Occasionally tbe Yale centre opened up clean and yawning boles and Thorn went through for good gains, but most of Yale's gains were made on long runs around the endtt by Hall and Armstrong.

The tackling was not sharp and while the plays wern in h1 quickly they were not clean. itiCNKicr ana Aiurpiiy pmyeu wm mm uu-kito, but McNHlrr's side was forced more than any other place.

Harvard played the best game of the sea son and defeated Williams by a score of 62 to 0 in a game lasting fifty minutes. The defensive work of tbe Harvard team whs by far tbe best seen this year and the offensive was good. Williams played a fair game for the first half, but let up towards the end. Possibly the warm weather accounted for the slow play of both, teams. Williams worked ihe old-faphioned wedge for several yards at he kick-off and on the left tackle for several more good sains.

Considering that Harvard did not Dlav either Emmons or C. Brewer her play was re-markuhly strong and all felt encouraged at their exhibition. Baldwin proved a weak spot In the crimson Una and Williams made trie best or sending uage time auer time throUKh him. Gray, too, waa to blame for this hole and should have been there to stop up. Hong made some good catches and proves a strong runner, while Connor for the new men carried on tne Honors, tie piuys a snarp game and will improve with coaching.

Grey made a fortv-vard run without Interference. Corbett one of seventy yards and later one ot thirty-five yards. Waters also made a long run, and at all times interference was prominent In the crimson plays. Winslow did much In the second balf to hurry up the play, and this Is especially Important to Harvard. For Williams, Gage, at half-back, did the best work, and often proved too much for the Harvard tncklers.

Wrleht and Groat showed up well all through. The rest of the team seems tired or afraid and. allowed a big score to pile up. Gartleld, the last year's captain for Williams, now at Harvard law school, has definitely decided not to play this year, much to the regret ot Harvard's coaebers. bcore Harvard.

Ithaca, N. October 14. Union College, of Schenectady, N. sent a good aggregation of foot-ball players to play against Cornell at Ithaca. They put up an astonishingly strong game, and It was only by the hardest efforts that Cornell was able to hold them.

They made one touchdown, but this was practically a fluke, the hall rolling over Cornell's Una and Curtis in picking it up was tackled, and the referee called It a touch-down. Cornell was very weak at centre and played an individual rather than a team game. The touch-downs for Cornell were made by Daley, Barr, Youne and Freeborn. Younsr failed to kick goal four tlines.bul the wind was blowing very strong. Cornell was deprived of ak in a toucn-aown oy union mailing a safety, making the total score, Cornell, 18: Union, 6.

SHOWN Cmmw of the Good Rxt.lt ObtainM-Ril toVi UtrkM Kw ping nJ th Tfs.ni Fifldins-Boblen'i Batting Th Rot at nhci Ai to Yeir'i Trip. At tha conclusion of tha recent matches with tha Australian eleven In this city. It Seemed to ha tha gene rat opinion that tha citron which represented Philadelphia in those matches had played better all-around cricket than any previous Philadelphia eleven In an International match, and that the mult of the two matches untitled the assertion that the Gentlemen of Philadelphia, an eleven, are entitled to a Ik her rank in the cricket world than has hitherto been accorded them, either by domestic or foreign critic.

What are tha causes, then, that brought about this result, and In what particular points did the eleren of 1893 excel Its pf docenvrs? In the first place, the fielding of the home iteara waa far ahead of any previous perform-tanccs ever accomplished In that department of the game in an International match, and recalled tho fielding of the German town eleren tn 18H6. Again, for the first time in the history of Philadelphia cricket, wa have a first-class wicket-keep, one on whom every Philadelphia crl keter can look with pride, and F. W. Halston may congratulate himself upon having filled that position in a manner which no other man has ever done In this oantry, even to Invoking the admiration of that prince of wicket-keeps, the Australian captain. It Is very hard for the average spectator to understand what a tremendous cdtference It mado in the strength of our bowling to bare a wicket keeper like Ralston.

Not only was the fielding brilliant at times, Ibut it was consistently good throughout the entire four imiitigfl, and the entire eleven watched the hull all the time, which after all is tha secret of good fielding. Tha men who shone particularly in the field were Coates. Wood. Bo'jlen and H. 1.

Brown in the first match, and Wood, H. I. Brown and Thomson in the second match. Wood, II. I.

Brown and Moir were a veritable stone wall In the slips, while Coatcs, H. I. Brown and Bohlen covered the outfield as well as even the moat captious base ball critic would desire. In the first match our bowling, handicapped by the absence of Clark and Baily, was only tfair, though King bowled splendidly in both runnings and H. I.

Brown very well in the -first innings. Indeed, If it had not been for IKing we should have been in a very bad fix to get tho visitors out at all. In the second match Baily and Clark all bowled very well, especially in the besinning of the second innings. Of course, the smart fielding helped the bowling tremendously, and it was possibly due to that fact, to a great extent, thai the bowling seemed stronger than in previous international matches. No doubt it very often looked ns if the bowling was to leg, judging by the number.

of runs made by the Australians on that side of the wicket, but it iniust be remembered that nearly all of the batsmen, especially Bannerman Gregory, are mneh stronger on tho leg side than our batsmen, and the moment a hall pitches even a few inches short of a good length or a tritle to leg of the middle stump, they get it away on the leg sido with unerring accuracy. In view of tho largo scores made by the Australian eleven in England the Philadelphia howlers can congratulate themselves upon having dismissed itlioir opponents tor such moderate "totals. The success of the Philadelphian out cricket was due, more than anything else, to the systematic and conscientious ipractiee which the eleven indulged in all uh rough September not net practice, but snatch practice and the beneficial results of isueh practice could be clearly Rceu in the team play and also in-the hatting in the first match. Never before has a representative Philadelphia team played so many matches together prior to an international match, aud the results justify the hard work involved in those test matches. The thanks of the eleven are also duo to those cricketers, including the professionals, who werft willing to play in these practice roatchoa so that the eleven might get the necessary practice together.

The batting of tho Philadelphia eleven in the first match vs-g a pleasant surprise, in the second matxh, a great disappointment. Yarions stories "have been circulated reflecting upon tho sincerity of tho Australians in the first matcli, which stories are as worthy of belief aj ho persons who have circulated them. A.gMn it whb said that the large score compiled rjy the home team at Elmwood was due enti rely to the fact that our visitors had not ai -yet had a chance to recover from their gea-gs. Undoubtedly the fact that they we tn just off shipboard contributed largely tcthe result, but not, in my opinion, sufficiently to alter the result. We went in on a ricket as near perfection as any wicket ever attains in this country.

Our batting was first class from start to finish, the Australian bowling was never very deadly, as never would be on that kind of a wicket, and the Australians muffed eleven catches, due to a large extent to their sea-legs, but at the same time their fielding all through England and in the second game here shows that tthey are very weak on catches. The Australian bowling, without Turner, did not seem to be any better than, if as good, as our wn on a batsman's wicket, on a wicket at ail sticky, as at Manheim. Trumble is wonderfully good bowler and one ithat requires a tremendous amount of watching, but the rest of the bowling, with tho exception of George Giffen, did not iseem very dangerous. It was the general opinion that if Giffen had been bowled at Manheim he would have been just as difficult as Trumble, and on a slow wickot which helps the bowlers at all. Giffen and Trumble would be much more effective than any of our bowlers, with the possible exception of Baily.

Of course, in comparing their bowling with ours, it must be remembered that they were without the services of Turner, who is not only their best bowler, but who is one of the "best bowlers, if not the best bowler. fn the world to-day, and in his absence it is pardiy just to criticise their bowling strength. If, then, our hatting was first-class at Elm-wood, why, with the exception of Bohlen, was it so feeble at Manheim The most popular answer to that question would seem to be, The wicket was responsible," an answer 'which, in my opinion, is partially correct and partially incorrect. Correct, in that the wicket helped the bowlers a trifle, owing to the heavy dew on Thursday even ing and rain on Friday. Incorrect, in that the small totalB scored by the home team were due almost entirely to their poor batting and not to any fault of the wicket One batsman of the Philadelphia eleven, F.

H. Bohlen, stands pre-eminently first in these matches. and his three innings of 118, 33 and 54, not out, rank as tha finest performances ever accomplished by a Philadelphia player in international cricket, and of his three innings, his last was the best, as it withstood the most severe test of what constitutes a first-class batsman, getting runs when the rest of tha team are all helpless. It is easy to make runs when everyone aim does, but not everyone can rise to an occasion. Noble, H.

I. Brown, Ralston, King. E. D. Brown.

Wood and Coates all batted splendidly in the first match, Walter Scott was run out when well set, and Baily and Ralston batted pluckilyat Manheim, but the batting at Manheim was too defensive and not sufficiently aggressive. Soma comfort however, can be gleaned from a perusal of tha scores of Middlesex, Nottingham, Gloucestershire and Yorkshire against the Australians last summer, though in those matches tha Colonists had Turner. Tha Australian batting, as an eleven, was a great disappointment after their perform- i Jung land, Dot tney wax undoubtedly FOOTBALL THE VOLUNTEERS, OP NEW YORK, DEFEATED BY PENNSYLVANIA COMPLETELY SNOWED UNDER What Was Dona by tha Other Cnlfinl tls Prlnecton and the Crescents at Brooklyn Cornell and the Union College at Schenectady, Tale Aaalnst Dartmouth, Harvard and Williams. There was a decided hitch In the programme yesterday afternoon at tbe University grounds before an extremely largo crowd of enthusi asts, who gathered to watch the usual 'Varsity foot-ball game. When tho schedule of games was first arranged the Volunteer Foot-Ball Club, of New York, secured tha date.

Later Bucknell was substituted, but at the last moment on Friday tha schedule was again changed back to the original arrangement Few people knew of tho alteration and fewer understood it, so that when 8 o'clock came and passed and no Volunteer team appeared there was a decided manifestation of surprise. Twenty minutes passed and the crowd grew Impatient and Manager Coulston began to look around to secure another team. Five minutes more passed and at last tho coach drove upand the Now Yorkers alighted bag In hand. Souie further time was occupied in dressing and it was not until 8.40 that play began. MACKKY AWAT.

The Pennsylvania were without tbe ser vices of Captain Mackcy, who had gone to Princeton play, and appeared for the first time on the home field with the new combination of Elssler at guard and Oliver at tackle. It seemed, however, to have no injurious effect upon the play and the big guard made quite a favorable impression in his new place. Elssler, however, seemed to have considerable trouble with Schaetler, and had all he could do to out hold the big Goth ami te. Vail acted as Mackey's substitute in the captaincy and handled his men nicely, although he occupied a great deal of time In arguing the decision of the referee, Mr. btmpson, which, although manifestly partial, should have been passed by unno ticed.

The home team played together well and seemed to have been much benefited by their tour, luach man worftea his position lor all there was in it, interfering, blocking and holding well. Everyone was given a chance running with the ball and each carried it for ward with success and steadiness, although Knipe at full-back was greatly missed in his Gilbert created the best Im pression for his brilliant running, while Brooke was warmly applauded lor his splendid kicking. The race for end positions still continues hot, and Abbott, Upton, Rosengar-tcn and Bishop all played their positions cleverly, while Bosengarten made a star run around one end for a distance of forty yards. A BAPID BTABT. The ball started in the Volunteers' posses sion.

The 'Varsity at once secured it on a fumble. Wharton, Beese and Simmons each advanced in succession and Gilbert carried the ball over the line for a touch-down and a goal. It was very sharp work. After that until the end of the half it was a new question of how many Pennsylvania would Bcore, as Bhe never failed to advance the ball when it was in her possession. In some instances her defensive play was very weak and the Volunteers advanced the pig-skin to her twenty-yard line before it was Becured on five downs.

In the second half a number of changes were made in the eleven, and ft presented a strange appearance as it lined up for play. Osgood and Gilbert were replaced by Thomas and Vail. The ends were nlaved br Rosen garten and Bishop and Seymour piaycd at quarter. The team failed to advance with rapidity, while tbe New Yorks advanced far too stead ily. Kelly was particularly strong in his dashes and seldom failed to gain through the right side of Pennsylvania's line.

In fact, all their plays were made through the lines and showed too great weakness. Bosengarten, after eight minutes' play, succeeded in carrying the ball over the line. from which Brooke kicked the goal. After that both sides advanced the ball and Penn sylvania seemed to play with little vigor. But one more touch-down was made, and time was called with the score 84-0.

For Volunteer the best playing was done by Schaeffer at right guard, who practically did all the playing for the team, while Carls. Kelly and Carlton all played their positions wen. The teams lined up Pennsylvania. Volunteer. Upton, Lend.

AFTERMATH OP THB YACHT RACE. Opinions Divided as to the True Result of the Last Race for the Cop. New York, October 14. The Evening Post says the Valkyrie will be laid up ou this side of the Atlantic for the winter. Discussion of the races for the America's cup was very warm to-day.

Yachtsmen were divided In opinions about the true result of yesterday's great race iu Its bearing on the old controversy between keel and centreboard, the unfortunate accident to Valkyrie'B light Balls and the jamming of Vlgilant's board having made a sure comparison that would otherwise have been so satisfactory Impossible. To add to the other factors throwing doubt ou the result was the fact mentioned to-day by Mr. Kerr, that Val- was sprung on tbe boat out, and that this was the reanou why the cutter was unable lo set her balloon Jib topsail or her ciuo tODsau running no rue as leuant uia. Lord Dunraven's expressed opinion that nis uuuer wouiu nave won on ner time anow a nee had his spinnaker held wits conceded by a few to be well-founded, but It was only held to be true, granting the fact that the sloop was retarded because she bad Ave feet of her board trailing In tbe water that should have been snugly up In tbe trunk when she was running home. It has always been deemed a special laavautage of the American type that iuu oouru couiu oe ruiseu wo en not neeueu to clve stability to the yacht, aud it Is regarded by the advooatcs of the board as only fair to give this drawback Its full weight in estimat ing tue worn or tue two boats yesterday.

ENGLISH OPINIONS OF THE VIGILANT. The "Field Admits Her Superiority, But V. W. Aslor'a Paper Denle It. London, October 14.

In an article on the yacht races for tbe America's cup Field says Taking everything Into account, Vigilant is superior to Valkyrie, because, as a more powerful boat, she can effectively carry larger sail spread, and not by reason of her beiug fitted with a centre plate. The superiority of Vigilant has been attributed to her centre plate, but that had nothing to do with her success when sailing either by or on the wind, vigilant Is for all practical purposes a deep keeled yacbt, as It Is a fact that with her plate up she draws more water than any English or American yacht built prior to She bas a more powerful hull than Valkyrie moreover, one that can be driven in anvthinr like a breeze. Her larger Bull spread Is bound to drive her at a greater speed than Valkvrieon any uotnt of Bailing. It Mr. Carroll improves Navuboe up to Valiant's form ube may have an easy tuuk next time of capturing both the Gold and Cape May cups."

An effort was made to float the cutter, but It was unsuccessful. The race for the Jeanes enp was also postponed on account of the strong southeast wind blowing. Irex and Ethel were ready to start, but the rent declined, and as the conditions governing the race say three to start or no race," there was no help for it in the absence of Mr. Jeanes. There was much disappointment among the excursionists who bad thro need down hoping to see a second-band Valkyrie and Vigilant setrto in a gale of wind.

lt would have pleased Americans better to lose yesterday than to win under circumstances which deprive the race of Its significance. The result of the two former contests lett very little room for doubt that ours Is the fleeter boat. But most of us would have liked to fight to a finish without the ad vantage which a mishap to our adversary gave us. Jvew York World. The matchless lines of the able Herreshoff have proven far better adapted to fleet sailing in all weathers than the model of the Val kyrie.

Centreboard triumphs over keel; sloop vanquishes outter. There will be some decided modifications in the model ot the next British racing yacht which comes here In quest ol the cup. New York Journal. Exultation at the triumph of the stars and stripes will be tempered by sympathy and respect for brave Lord Dunraven, who has effectually proved hlB manhood and sports- manlike spirit In the taco of disheartening circumstances. If the contest had gone against us we could have surrendered the cup to no worthier antagonist.

New Y6rk Prett. The greatest revolution In the art of boat-making since the days of tbe Vikings ma terialized In the first conspicuous Herreshoff model, tbe Glorinna. She was new. The Vigilant, tbe culmination up to date of some thing of the Glorlana's principle, leaves us with confident expectation of still more brilliant resultB in the future. New York JSun, Though the prize goes to the Vigilant, the honors of yesterday remain wfth tbe Valkyrie.

There is very little doubt- that the Vigi lant would have beaten any other American yacht under the conditions under which the Valkyrie beat her. That Is to say. tn a beat to windward in a stiff breeze and a moderate sea the Valkyrie Is faster than any American yacbt; and these are the conditions that yachtsmen agree to regard as supplying the best test of a racing yacht New York Times. A game little craft, was the Valkyrie, and won golden opinions on all sides. But the 14 trick of shipbuilding has not left the Yankees, who used to turn out clipper ships away back in the '50s, as our British friends will doubtless remember, which outsailed the snips of all other nations.

New York Adver tiser. We heartily congratulate Lord Dunraven upon the Valkyrie's superb performance. It is always pleasant to win, but there could be no disgrace tn being beaten by such a foe. New York Tribune. Lord Dunraven and bis great boat have been beaten, and, as tbe most gallant foeman we have ever met In this field of contest, wa take him by the hand.

Great Britain and Ireland should be proud of him. While be has lost the coveted prize he so earnestly sought to win, be Is still a conqueror the conqueror oi our hearts. New York Recorder. Although Lord Dunraven will not take away tbe cup, be has captured the good will of all true sportsmen. While we cannot say that we would have liked to see him win we are glad that he came so near winning.
