UNDER IRISH RULES.
The Irish-Americans Defeat the Gaelics in
an Interesting Game.

The Irish-Americans Defeat the Gaelics in
an Interesting Game.
:srFcTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHJ
NEW YORK, November 27.-Tnree thousand
persons turned out TO see the teams of the
Irish-American Athletic Club. of this city, and
the Gaelics. of Port Chester play football at
the Polo Grounds. The object of the Irish
American Athletic Club of this city. is to gain
foothold in this country for typical Irish
game. There is nearly as much difference
between this game and the college game, as
between daylight and darkness. No holding,
pushing, tripping or sluggirg is allowed. Nor
can any player hold the bail in his hands and
run with it. All that is allowable is the kick
ing of the ball and hitting il with the hand
while the ball is in the air. The confusion is
greater than in college game as the ball is
always being kicked back and forth. Great
amusement is created over the scrambiing.
There are many strategic plays that were
worked to good advantage to-day. The teams
were made up of l6 men each. With rush,
bang, kick and a fall, the game was COM
menced amid the greatest enthusiasm. The
lrlsh-Anerlcans are stalwart athletes, and they
soon showed their superiority over their op-
ponents, who were light in weight in COM
parlsOn. The lrish-Americans were attired in
blue Jerseys, blue caps and maroon colored
knee pants. They presented an extremely natty
appearance. The Gaelics wore an entirely
black SUIT The regulation football outfit to
prevent injury was missing. The result
was: Irish-Americans, goals 2 points 6;
Gaelics, points 2 According to the rules the
team making the greatest number of goals
wins, no matter how many points the other
team may make.

He States That No Good Ball Players Will
be Ignored.
COLUMBUS, November 27.-President Thur
man was a very busy man today, receiving and
answering kilograms from baseball magnates
relative to the situation. One of the many
dispatches was from parties in Cincinnati, ask
ing that when a meeting of the Conference
Committee was called it be held at the Grand
Hotel in that city. The object in this move was
a mystery to Mr.. Thurman. The message was
signed by Cole Van Hamm and Mr. Frost The
books of exp resident Phelps will be turned
over to the new h cad OF the American Associa-
tion about December j. when Secretary Wikotf
will take charge of them.
President Thurman said there would be no
disposition on the part of the magnates of
either the American Association or the Ma
tlonal League to punish or oppress in ary way

tion of salary.
The hackers of the teams in the two major
organizations would probably insist on placing
the salaries at figure where the stockholders
would have a chance to recoUp some of their
heavy losses. To that end both League and
American Association people had agreed not
to sign man until matters were definitely set
tied once and for all time. When that lime ar

end, whether he was 4 deserter or remained
loyal to the national agreement would be
treated fairly and honestly. No recriminat ation

Candy's Ingredients.

The ordinary New York candy factory
will employ about 100 to 150 hands,
who are largely adults and make very
good wages. In the summer fifty barrels
of sugar per day will be made up into
sweets, and in few months more, when
preparing for the holiday trade, and
when the rush is at its highest, 200 bar.
rels daily will not be considered a very
high figure. The great bulk of the sugar
used in candy-making is of special
grade of granulated refined especially foi
the purpose. A little corn syrup or glu.
cose is employed in the manufacture OF
some kinds of candy, but outside of that
the flavors, nuts or seeds, gums, choco.
late, etc, are the only materials found
necessary.
Starch is a prominent aid in manufac.
turing sweets, and the ordinary factory
will need about 100, 900 pounds of il for
daily use. This may seem strange to
candy eaters, but it is easily explained
In the factory everything is laid out in
starch. The moulds for gum drops, jelly
beans and all such articles are all made
in starch, and these moulds are among
the most essential needs of the candy
maker.-Neio York Nelos.

lie Got His Price for the Book

j. Fletcher Williams, librarian of the
State Historical Society, while in Lon
don recently, called on a dealer in old
books from whom the State Society has
been buying books occasionally for the
past twenty years. Mr.. Williams relates
that the presiding genius of this particu-
lar place, was queer old piece of hui
manity, and illustrates it by the follow
ing incident: A gentleman in search of a
rare old English black letter volume
found it in the store referred to. He
was much pleased at his discovery and
asked the price. ''Nine hundred dollars, u
said the proprietor. "Nine hundred dol
lars" exclaimed the would-be purchaser
of the volume, "that is too high. Now
l think this book" but here the vol
ume was snatched from his hands, and
the proprietor threw it on the counter,
exclaiming: "it'll be a thousand to-mor-
rowl" And it is an actual fact that the
book buyer, after a long and vain search,
actually came back and paid a thousand
dollars for the volume.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
