Manager w. w. Burnham Engaged-Trouble
About the Office of President.

Manager w. w. Burnham Engaged-Trouble
About the Office of President.
Arrangements we're definitely completed YES
terday between the local ball club authorities
and Manager Walter w. Burnham, which en-.
cages the latter to manage the Pittsburg ball
club next season. He left for home last even
ing and will return in three or four weeks to
commence his duties here.
Director ]. P. O'Neill arrived in the city yes
terday, and he did not hesitate to say that
recent Developments in the N. L. were such
that there was no necessity to engage Mr..
Burnham. Mr.. o'Nell intimated that Presi.
arranged to release John NJ. Ward to
Pittsburg if Ward desired to come,
and Mr.. O'Neill stated yesterday that Ward
would come here. According to Mr.. O'NeilPs
plans Ward was to play at short and manage
the team. However, il Ward would come here
to manage and play it is very likely that ne will
come to play only, and the team will be all the
better with him playing free from the response
bilities of management.
1t is useless to deny that there is a little un-
ple2santneSs existing between one or two OF the
club. Six of the seven gentlemen who will be
directors are in favor of Mr.. Nilnick retaining
his old office of President. Mr.. ONeill is EN-
phatIcaily opposed to Mr.. Nimicks election,
and declared yesterday that if Mr.. Nimick
was elected he. O'NeiIl, would be done
with baseball entirely. Other gentle
men said the same regarding MIR. ONeill,
in the event of his election. 1t is pleasant to
know, however, that the little hard feeling is
only limited to two men, and. doubtless in the
interest of the club and everything connected
with it, they will bury all personal feelingin the
matter and be guided by the will of the major
ity. An ex-Players' League director stated
yesterday afternoon that he and his friends had
resolved to support the election of Mr.. Nimick
simply because that gentleman has held the
office for several years and they don't want to
be instrumental in making any change. The
whole affair is of the most trivial character and
ought not to have the least influence on the
minds OF business men. There were several
little private confabs on the matter, yesterday
afternoon, and there is nothing reasonable to
prevent the little unpleasantness blowing past
at once.
During yesterday afternoon there was some
talk among the leading stockholders of the
club of sending Secretary Scandrett to Chicago
to have talk with A. G. Spalding regarding
some of the latter's old players. Mr.. Spalding
has claim on such good men as Van Haltren,
Ad Gumbert, Ryan. Farrell. Duffy and Pfeffer
He will not need them all. and It is thought
that he will allow some of them to come to
Pittsburg if they SO desire.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
PARKER, November 21.-Siuce the SEN
sationaI robbery Of John Duff here, Satur-
day last, all efforts to learn the perpetrators
have been fruitless. All clews point to
carefully planned job, with some well known
crooks in it. One party OF men, for instance,
has been carefully traced to and from differ
ent points. This party consists of Oyster
Paddy, of Pittsburg; Pig Island Sandy, of
Bradford; Tom Mcmahon, who is wanted
in Oil City, and two others, who are sup
posed to be Kennedy and Gallagher, of
Oil City.
1t is alleged that McMahon and Pig
Island Sandy were in Oil-City on Friday,
where they bought tickets ior Foxburg.
They were joined at Franklin by the other
three, and then went to Foxburg, three
miles from Parker. There, it is alleged,
they separated and came together at Duff's
Office.
On leaving Duff, it is further alleged
they went to Oil City, and having secured
but little money, they could go no farther
and went toward Siverlyville, where they
struck over the hills. Since then, not one
has been seen. Mr.. Duff did not know his
assailants, but fairly we'll connected trail
has been followed, as the party was seen
along the road.

portions.
A quiet, Ieisurelv stroll through S. Hamil-
toms music rooms at 81 and 80 Fifth ave-
nue., by anyone who is not thoroughly
familiar with musical instruments of all
kinds, would reveal to him many things of
which he had previously been ignorant.
One of these would be the infinite variety of
STYLES in pianos aud organs. He would find
them in rich, plain and ornamented cases of
ebony. hazelwood, birch, mahogany, light
and dark, oak, satinwood, walnut and rose
wood, all in the beautiful designs to describe
which is impossible
Hamilton is justnow enjoying a great
trade in chapel and church organs. He has
this week placed five of these latter in
United Presbyterian churches, and a num-
Der in, Pittsburg, Homestead and Youngs-
town (O.) schools. This is not to be won
dered at when the prices of these instruments
range from $50 for chapel organ 10 SIC, 900
for church pipe organ, built of any special
size or design 10 correspond with the archi-
lecture OF the building in which it is to be
placed. His trade in pianos and organs
leads the general trade, as usual.
AS the holidays approach Hamilton's
trade is increasing in volume to such an ex-
tent that after next week or December his
store and salesrooms will remain open until
9o'clock every evening until January 1.
This is done for the double purpose of ex-
tending the hours in which to do added
work and to afford everybody ample oppor-
tunity to make purchases. You cannot
make mistake by going to Hamilton's, 81
and 80 Fifth avenue

PLAYERS LEAGUE ECHOES.
Several Brotherhood Members Who Have
Not Been Paid Their Salaries.

Several Brotherhood Members Who Have
Not Been Paid Their Salaries.
NEW YORK, November 2l.-Upon investiga-
ton the affairs of the ''late lamented" Players
League do not appear to be as rosy as the
followers of the organization seemed to think.
Many of the players have not been paid off in
full for their seasons work. and In one instance
at least that of Buffalo, the men will probably
whistle for their money. If reports are true a
like condition of affairs exists in the Chicago
club which was rather a severe disappointment
last season.
While the condition is not so bad in this city,
there are several players anXiously awaiting
overdue salary Richardson, Keefe, Shannon,
ORourke and Whitney, all local favorites, are
sad because they have not received any salary
since September /. The club is in arrears to
one Of these players just 81, 500. Counting from
September l to the time that their contracts
expired, there is just six weeks salary due
these players.
Captain Ewing received the remainder Of his
seasons salary only few days ago, and when
he started for home he also carried Catcher
Naughns salary out with him. II was said yes
terday that the expenses of the New York
Players club were s67, 600. The gate receipts
at home and abroad had been S59, 000 leaving a
shortage of IS 900.
The directors of the local club are Postmaster
VancOtt, President; E. A. McAlpiu, F.. B. Tai
colt and +. B. Robinson. That the players
will get their salaries in time is assured, but it
is nevertheless fact that they have not seen
the color of Brotherhood gold for a discourag-
ingly long time. Colonel McAlDin is expected
home from the West on Monday when meet
ing will be held and the necessary checks made
out and forwarded to the players.

started for the scene of the contest AT 8
o'clock big crowd drew up in the square
to receive the players. The square was
zlleE with hundreds of students whose en-
thVsiasm knew no bounds. 1t was grand
send-off for the team, and they could not
help being impressed by the confidence
placed in them by their fellow students.
Captain Cumnock's face was very pale.
He knsw he was going to face Harvard's
rival with the best team that has repre-
sented the crimson in many years. If he
could not win with this team, Harvard
might as we'll withdraw from the battle, but
all the PLAYERS who went were full OF deter
mination to WIN if such thing be possible.
SherBin, who has made such good record
as a halt back, was forced to remain in
Cambridge, his leg being in no condition to
play. The team left Boston on the o'clock
train. 1t will be quartered in Springfield
at Mrs. Gardner's, Main and Patton streets
The following men were taken up:
HARvARD's GREAT TEAM.
Cumnock, left end; Upton, left tackle;
Finley, left guard; Cranston center; P. D.
Traford, night guard; Newell, right tackle;
Hallowell, right end; Dean, quarter back;
Lake and Corbett, half backs; B. w. Traf-
ford, full back; substitutes, Mason,

headquarters will be at the Massosoit House.
a story has reached here to the effect that a
tallv-ho party of students from Boston to at
tend the Harvard-Yale game entered a
farmers pasture in the vicinity of South
Spencer and yoked up pair of cows, which
they ridiculously decorated and drove dis
Tance of ten miles, when they went to
the freight agent at the railroad station and
had them shipped back on the next train.
There is not as many guideboards along the
road as there were be. ore these friskv
students made their journey through to
Springfield, for they pulled up as many as
they could conveniently and used them in
decorating the coach. To the traveller pass
ing in the opposite direction this vehicle
must have presented a novel sight, so
uniquely decorated with guide boards, some
of which bore the inscriptions: "Three
Miles to Four Corners" East Brookfeld
Five Miles," Warren Ten Miles," "West
Brookfeld 10 Miles" Streamers of red
bunting artisticaIly attached to the coach
also foated gracefully in the breeze and gave
the vehicle a striking appearance as it
