Mr.. James Goldsmith has reached his home
at Washingtonville, n. Y, where he is at pres
ent recuperaung his health. Few readers
realize the great strain upon a mans nervous
system in training and driving a stable of
horses such as Mr.. Goldsmith has handled this
year. According to our LIST of winning drivers
Mr.. Goldsmith has started in l03 races win
ming more than one-half of them, and in the
entire number he has won money of all but
seven. This is a remarkable showing, and per-
haps it has never been equaled by any trainer
in any year in the history of the trotting horse.
Add TO this the care and number of fast miles
required to put the stable in condition to start
and one can form an idea of the mental and
physical strain \ trainer undergoes in making
such a campaign as the one Mr.. Goldsmith has
closed. And look at the results in records:

THE DEACONs FOOLISH DREAMS.
Old Jim White sill Thinks There is a
Players League Existing.

Players League Existing.
;rrFCIAL TELEGKAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
BUFFALO. November l6-ln conversation
with the DISPATCH correspondent tonight
Deacon White said that base ball pros
poets for Buffalo are very slim and
in his opinion Buffalo sports would do
better to start croquet league. MIR.
White denied the report that Buffalo was ex-
PEELED for non-payment of dues. and said that
Ine Players League would probably have to
fall back on old Buffalo before she got
through.
The purchase OF the Cincinnati Club for
$40 700 is killing the Players League, said Mr..
White. "Up to the time of this move every
thing was going smoothly, but now observe the
difference. This new deal pinches the capital
lists. for they had hard work to scrape the price
together The Brotherhood had the National
people whipped, and had they kept stiff upper
lip, in a few weeks more the National League
would have been begging for quarter. A few
SulElng capitalists are responsible for the
whole affair, but the battle isn't lost. We are
in IL vet. New York has consolidated, but
viii the Players League men go over?
O'Rourke for one. viii make big kick, and
Ewing told me at PlttShurg that be had in no
way bound himself. In Brooklyn, Ward can
control the piayers in the interest OF the
Brotherhood, and there's Just chance. if the
Players League goes on-a chance, l saw, that
Wards club Will be transferred to Buffalo l
do not believe that Chicago has sold out to
Snaulding. Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland
and the CIty of Buffalo remain intact and AL
johnson has claim on Cincinnati and so have
the Wagner Brothers of Philadelphia. There's
2 powerful nucleus left to battle against the
National League il the Players will only hold
together"

YAGRANI,s STORY,
BEING ARRESTED He TALKS INcoHER.
EMILY OF HIS CAREER.

He Becomes a Wanderer on the Face of the
Earth and is Pursued for q Murder He
Did Not Commit Is Probably Insane.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
SCRANTON, November 16.-A man Civ
ing his name as John West. alias James
Wright, alias "Akron Red" has been sent
to the workhouse for 80 days, while his
queer story and antecedents are Investigated.
He was brought here yesterday charged
with suspicious conduct and vagrancy. He
is about 35 years of age.
West said he was born at New Brighton,
Beaver county, and early became wan
derer on the face of the earth. In the fall
of 1882, he, with two tramps named Sig Nc
Farland and Perry James, robbed q
dwelling at New Brighton, obtaining
a large sum of monev. Shortly after
they robbed store at Zelienople, about
20 miles from New Brighton. They were
pursued by officers, who found the
body of James along the track, he
having apparently been killed by the cars
while attempting to board them. Neverthe-
less West says he was accused of numbering
him, pursued, captured and lodged in Jail.
With three others he managed to escape,
and has been hunted BY officers ever since
He confessed that he had served 80 DAYS
in Jail at Ionia, Mich. and that little over
a wear ago, he was convicted of petty lar
ceny in Cleveland, and was sentenced to 30
days in Jail and to pay fine of S10O.
While he was in Jail he struck man with
a file, severely injuring him. He was then
adjudged insane, and was sent to the asy-
lum, from which place he escaped April
last.
After hearing the mans story, Chief
Wade concluded that the man was insane.
He talked incoherently about detectives
pursuing him for the murder of James,
and said they drugged him once, and at
another time made the air hot. He was
committed as vagrant. and meanwhile his
case will be investigated. in order to ascer-
tain if he is wanted at New Brighton and
the other Eastern places he talks about.

TO be Formed by the Various Teams
of This Section of the
Keystone State.
ASSOCIATION RULES POPULAR.
They Have More Supporters Among Local
Enthusiasts Than the Methods
Adopted BY Rugby.
An INTERVIEW WITH DEACON WHITE.
The Veteran lmAginss the Players League Still in Ex.
istencs

An effort is to be made next week to form
ian Association football league in Western
Pennsylvania; that is league of clubs
which will play under Association rules.
A IS has often been remarked in this paper
recently. football is rapidly rising in popu-
larity, and there is every prospect of a
league of eight teams being formed before
the season closes In the Western part of
this State and in Eastern Ohio there seems
to be more Association" PLAYERS than fol-
lowers of the Rugby rules, and it has been de-
cided to call a meeting of patrons OF the former
10 discuss the chances of forming a league.
Speaking on thus matter yesterday afternoon,
Charles White, manager OF the Eighteenth
ward team, said:
I'VE have made up our minds to thy and
form a league. We would have called meet
ing for the I'D instant but our team plays a
match on that day, so that we cannot meet un-
til few days later. Already three teams have
declared their willingness to join a league.
These teams are: Eighteenth ward, Homestead
and Shadyside. ! think we can also get the
following teams to join us: East Liverpool,
LucyvIlle, Monongahela City, Millvale and
team from the Southside. Our idea is to play
series of games against each other, and the
winner of the most games to be the recipient
Of silver Gun. think we can get cup With
out much trouble.
y find" continued Mr.. White, ''that hun
dreds OF young men who work in mills and fac
tories desire To play football because it seems
tn be all the rage this winter. The idea of or
gaming league will bring all the aspirants to
the front, and l predict that the Association
rules Will become the popular rules, because
they do not permit of such rough work as do
the Rugby rules. If we form our league, of
course we cannot expect to do much this sea-
son. but we can get through a toerably good
schedule, and get thoroughly established for
next season."
Mr.. White is prominent player from Shelf
field, England and has on his Eighteenth ward
team several excellent players. His team
as follows: Goal keeper, VIII Wardell: full
backs, William Woods and John Clements;
half backs. Ben Pool and John Sharman; center
forward Joseph Wardell; LETT wing Charles
White; right wing. Thomas Parks; forwards
s. Potts R Goodworrh. William Ely. Parks
mas recently arrived from Birmingham, En-
gland, where there are numerous frst-class
football PLAYERS.
The above team will play against an eleven of
the Allegheny Athletic Association at Exposi-
ton Park on Saturday next The contest will
be one OF unusual interest, al ii will enable the
many new patrons of the game to Judge as to
the respective merits of the Association and
Rugby rules. The Athletics will have a strong
team on the field, including such good players
a A. Macpherson, W. Pyatt Owens and An
derson.

CRAZED BY POVERTY,

A Man Steals Cabbages for His Starving
Wife and Child.
A pathetic little incident was brought to
light in Magistrate Succop's police court
yesterday. Thomas Riley was charged with
stealing two cabbages from store. As he
was called to the bar by the judge, a forlorn-
looking woman, leading a child, rushed
into the room and pleaded with tears in her
ewes for the release of her husband.
Mrs. Riley and her child were sick at
home, and not penny in the house to buy
anything to eat. Riley was out of work,
and crazed by the thought OF his darlings
suffering from hunger, stole the cabbages.
Judge Succop discharged Riley, while some
thing like tear glistened as it rolled down
his cheek during the relation of the woman s
sad ale

NEW YORK. November 16-Now that Jack
Dempsey and Bob Fitzsimmons are really
matched sports around town are beginning to
talk up Dempsey. just as did they prior to his
famous meeting with La Blanche at the Cali

He allowed him to enter the ring weighing IL

SPECIAL WEATHER BULLETIN.

Better Condition of Things Throughout
Most of the Country.
PREPARED FOR THE DIsPArcH.I
The moderate storm central in the lake re-
gion has passed into Canada. Its northward
movement was due to the high pressure pre-
vailing South and East of the lake region.
The high barometer pressure in the West
moved rapidly eastward. connecting with the
high pressure on the Atlantic coast and bring
ing with it clear cold weather. The contact Of
these high areas has produced exceptionally
fine weather from the Atlantic to the Pacific
through the center of the country. The move
ment eastward has also forced the cyclone in
the Gulf to recede to the southwark, though
heavy rain has resulted rherefrom in the lower
Mississippi valley.
