RYAN'S BENEFIT.
TBRgs THOUSAND PEOPLE SEE RYAN AND
SULLIVAN SPAR

SAN FRANCISCO, November 90
Three thousand people attended Paddy
Ryan's benefit at the Pacific Club last
night. The benefit was arranged for
Ryan by John L. Sullivan and num-
Der of San Francisco sporting men and
consisted of boxing, fencing, and club
swinging.
The chief event was a lively three
round go between Sullivan and Ryan,
which closed the exhibition. Sullivan
appeared very fleshy. weighing in the
neighborhood of 260 pounds. He
stated from the stage that in order to
quiet newspaper talk, he would an
nounce that as to the match with Slavin
his money was posted in New York to
bind such match to take place the lat
ter part OF September or the first part
of October, 1892. "Slavin is the first
man ever challenged" said Sullivan,
"now | am sick of discussing the mat
ter and wish 10 hear no more about II" !"

TO rush, but the ball has been snapped
back to Mccormick, who made one OF
the prettiest plays Of the day. From
the thirty-yard line, he kicked q goal
from the field. It takes Princeton by
surprise. Here "Tigers" stand in open
mouth astonishment at the bold and
clever performance of Yale's full-back.
The rain comes down in torrents, but
the storm cannot quench the enthu-
siasm that manifests itself on every
side. The score is, Yale 13; Princeton
nothing.
Yale thinks she Is giving Princeton
too much rope and proceeds to complete
Princeton's discontinue.
Only few minutes are left for play,
and all Princeton is "rooting for just
one little touchdown" But McCor-
mick runs ten yards around the end.
Princeton was unable to hold him. Now
comes the star play of the game.
The fair and long-haired Bliss Is de-
tailed to pass the enemy's lines. The
ball is passed to him, while the Yale
rushers fight down the adversaries on
every hand. Heffelfnger is his guide,
and Flint, Poe and Homans, who come
at him, are fioored in quick succession.
But the doughty King is yet in the
foreground. Heffelfnger sees him.
King jumps at Bliss and Heffel6nger
wards him off as he would child. AS
King goes sprawling, and the last
Princeton sentinel is passed, the crowd
lets itself loose again. The cheering is
at its height.
Bliss has run seventy yards, three
quarters of the length of the field, and
is safely past Princeton's goal line.
McClung easily kicks goal, and the
score is: Yale 10, Princeton moth
ing.
1t is Princeton's ball in the center Of
the field. On the "V," Poe advances
seven yards. Flint goes through the
center for eight yards. Flint tries his
hand, and Poe also, but neither ad-
vance, and time is called with the ball
slightly In Yale's territory.
The scene and sounds cannot be des-
crlbed.

WHEELING w. VA FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER

gan State University eleven from Ann
Arbor.
Cleveland has not been beaten this
year, and the contest was looked for
ward to with interest. The grounds
were in bad condition, and the playing
was not as perfect as 1t otherwise would
have been. The colleges OF Ohio were
we'll represented in the attendance,
Yale and Harvard also having men
present.
In the first half of the game Cleve-
land scored touch down by shrewd
play on the part of Genner, who went
through the Ann Arbor line, nobody
could tell now. Ann Arbor failed to
score. In the second half Cleveland
forced Ann Arbor back and scored a
second touch down.
Then Ann Arbor tried the same tao
tics with the same result. The game
was then virtually won, but the umpire
and Ann Arbor men thought the Qeve-
land referee had acted unfairly and he
gave several bad decisions which caused
a retaliation by the referee in ki1d.
There was really no cause for charges
of unfairness, but the Michigan men
claim tonight that they were not fairly
beaten. Cleveland has now won four
games and tied with the Pittsburg Ath-
letic Club team in one.

FIRST THE BEST.
Pretty Edna Percy Was to- Have Married
Clarence Gould,
RICH DETROIT GROCER'S SON,
But She's Gone With Drug Clerk, Who
Won Her Heart Before She Was
EnSnared by the Glamour
of Detroit Society.

DETROIT, November 25.-A fashion
able church on Woodward avenue Is
already prepared for wedding which
will never take place. Tomorrow was
the time fixed.
Society declared it romantic that
Clarence Gould, son Of the richest
wholesale grocer in the city. should
espouse girl who had only beauty,
charming manners. delightful voice
and few acres of Canadian soil to
recommend her. Mr.. Gould, Sr., had
furnished fine residence for the
couple. The bride-elect had purchased
a 81, 900 trousseau, for the payment Of
which young Gould had given security.
The young lady is (or was) Miss Ed
ma PERCY, of Napanee, Ont. Her pa
rents died year ago. leaving her a
one-third interest in small farm, from
which she has realized no cash. Her
friends supplied her with money and
she came to Detroit to study in Mehan's
School of Music.
In Napanee there lived druggists
clerk named Edward Fullerton whom
Miss Percy loved and had promised to
marry. 1t is not known whether this
engagement was broken by her or not,
but it was secret from her sister and
brother in Napauee.
A prettier blonde never came to De-
troit and saw and conquered. The quiet
and exclusive set to which the Goulds
belong took her up. She lived in fine
style. Life in Detroit made her ambi-
tious and she accepted Clarence P.
Gopld's proposal of marriage, as she
explained in Napanee, ''for his money. !"
Her heart remained with the dispenser
of drugs at SIS per week in her native
village.
The cards were issued and nearly all
the preparations made for the wedding.
The young woman took part OF her
trosseau week ago and went to her
sister, Mrs. DR.. Cowle, Of Napanee.
She and half dozen relatives were ex-
pected to arrive in Detroit last evening.
Mr.. Gould had engaged rooms for them
at the Hotel Cadillac.
The party not arriving, Mr.. Gould
telegraphed to Napanee. DR.. Cowle
replied: Edna gone away, don't know
where" Young Gould took the blow
very much to heart. He subsequently
learned that Edna had run away to
Toronto to marry Edward Fullerton.

A Fine Game for Charity's Sake-A Cor
nell Man Struck in the Face.
CHICAGO, November 26.-Ten thou
sand shivering shouting football enthu-
siasts saw the Chicago University club
eleven beat Cornell to-day by II to 4.
1t was a great game, and the gathering
that witnessed it was worthy the occa-
sion.
As for the game itself, Chicago won
by individual play and smuggling. Cor
nell put up plucky game, strong at all
times in team work. Her center and
best player, Galbreath, was hit in the
face by Alvord and compelled to quit
early in the last half, hopelessly weak
ening the rush line. Donnelly, Chi
cago's right end, played "off side" with
extraordinary persistence and tackled
foully repeatedly.
In general team work Cornell was far
and away ahead of Chicago, but her
men could not stand the Chicago nag
ging and slugging on the line. The
game was In the interest OF charity, the
proceeds going to the Chicago Training
School for nurses and the italian free
school. Goth of the institutions will be
the gamers by the sums reaching well
up into the thousands.

A sALoOs FIGHT,
In which an italian Draws . KNIFE. and
Is Hit with Club.

Last evening about seven o'clock
there was q serious fight at what 10
known as the Screen Willow" saloon.
located at the corner OF Alley Six and
Market street. This saloon Is the re-
sort OF a promiscuous gathering OF men
and women. and the place Is given. a
hard name by the police on the beat.
When the fuss started last night, Bar
keeper William Reed was behind the
counter, and Will Shell was asleep be-
hiad the stove. George Shell, Pearl
Carr, an inmate OF MoIlie Boyd's house
Of III fame, and Joe Covay. an Italian,
who claims Peral as his wife, were IN
the place. A row started between
Coyay and the woman and the Italian
threatened TO kill her, and fourishea o
knife. About this time Reed came from
behind the bar and hit Covay with a
club; cutting his head In two places.
Coyay went 10 the City Hall and made
complaint, and George Shell and
Pearl Carr were arrested, and Will
Shell was summoned as a witness, along
with Reed. There is . good deal OF
mystery about the case. and the testi-
mony may be interesting, especially II
Coyay is badly hurt.

TERRE HAUTE, md, November 26.-The
National officials of the United Mine
Workers to-day formally indorsed the
miners strike in Indiana and voted the
strikers financial aid out of the National
treasury.
The line of battle between the miners
and operators is thus drawn. This action
was taken by President Rae, who investi-
gated the strike in all its phases and found
that it merited the strongest sympathy of
the National organization
