remark 10 Dr. White In purely spirit OF fun
suggested 10 the doctor that he had been insultcd.

said: Charley, the boys tell me that they believe
that you intended your last remark as an insult to

"'Nonsense,' said the other; Il certainly didn't
mean anything of the kind

GROUNDS-THE YALE-HARVARD GAME.
College men here who interested In football
had heard nothing definite yesterday as TO whether
Harvard and Yalo would play their annual football
game on Thanksgiving Day. Several Yale men said
that there was a chance that the game would be
played at New-Haven and It was reported that the
Yale team was still in training. 1t was stated by an
evening paper that the match would take place,
and that the time and place would be decided either
by Harry Beccher, captain Of the Yale team last
year or by a toss-up. Mr.. Beecher could not be
found and neither Eugene /. Richards nor Wyllis
Terry had heard Of such arrangement.
The Wesleyan and University OF Pennsylvania foot
ball teams Will meet at the Polo Grounds on Thanks
giving Day. Time will be called at 80 p. m. Much
more general interest than usual Is taken IN the
game because a football game is now regarded as a
feature Of Thanksgiving Day. Coaching parties in this
CITY, Brooklyn and elsewhere have already been organ

ABOUT THE NOTED sHoRTsToP.
Washington Nov 26.-It looked on Saturday as IL
the Washington Club had virtually secured the SER
vices OF John NJ. Ward the shortstop OF the New
York Climb to play and captain tho Washington team
for next season. The prospects of Ward playing mere
do not look so bright to-day. In case ward IS not
secured the local agement will in all probability
make an effort to secure John Morrill, to play first base
and captain the team.
The story published in " The New-York World' OF
Saturday, which telcgraphed all over the country
claiming that Wards release had been purchased by
the local club created great deal of excitement here
The conditional contract published made The story

that when Messrs. Hewitt and Day were holdihs con-
ferenccs in regard TO Wards release, IL was agreed
between those gentlemen that neither should say any
thing about tho matter until certain conditions had
been arrived at and Wards consent secured
When President Day, in an interview, chargeu fresi

and said that no had done nothing OF the Kind How

He saws that the conditional agreement which Mr. Day
signed and which he Mr HEWITT has In his possession

IN Ward's release is that he must purchase all The
