The New York Management WOrrie Over Defections of Players.

The New York Management Worried
 Over Defections of Players.
 Manager Mutrie yesterday telegraphed to Lehane, Crooks and Reilly of the Columbus association team. Mike Le- hane ij first baseman and a graduate of the old International league. He is a fairly clever fielder in his position, but d lamentably weak batter. The Colum bus management announced more than a month ago that they would not take him for next season, and the New York people will find little difficulty in sign ing him. "Mike" is not in the league class, and nobody knows it better than Mutrie. Reilly is the man that jumped a Columbus contract last spring and covered third base for the Pittsburg | league team last season. He was re- leased this fall for general incom- potency. "Jack" Crooks is a clever second baseman, but he is by no means as good as Richardson. Mutrie has a line out for long John Reilly, the old | first baseman of the Cinclnnatis, who has been retired to make room for Com iskey. Reilly is a much better man | than Lchane, but he does not begin to compare With Connor.
 A match game of football will be played on the West End grounds to- morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock between teams from the Waterbury and Torring- ton branches of the Y. NJ. c. A. The | Torringtons have already won one game from the local team, and an earnest effort will be made to balance the ac- count to morrow. Ladies will be ad- mitted free.
 The foot race for $500 a side, 300 yards, between $. J. Farrell of Rockville and George Smith of Pittsburg, will be l run at Pittsburg tomorrow. Farrell | has been in training in PIttsburg and l bets are offered that the professional record for the distance, 30! seconds, will | be beaten.
 Mike Kelly and Buck Ewing have soured on catching. They want to play first base in 92. Therefore "Buck" does not feel sorry at Connor's action in jumping to the Athletics. Tucker is the obstacle in Kelly's way, but as Kelly is the manager he can do as he pleases, and perhaps his employers
 would not object to the saving of big salary.
 McGunnigle has again signed with Pittsburg, with full power to sign whom he pleases.

RESULT OF A DuCklNG AT CAM
Emil Pete trsOn of New Haven in
 Critical Condition,


 Emil Peterson is lying at deaths door at his home, No 3 Silver street, New Haven, and his serious illness is aener ally believed to be due to the severe treatment he received at Mantle while the c. N. G., was encamped there in August. Peterson is a member of the PNew Haven city guard and went with the company to camp. He was a strong, stalwart man and not being up to the tricks of his younger brothers in the company was often made the butt of ridicule and often imposed on. From the beginning of the week several men intended to give him a ducking in the company tub but not until Thurs day, August 20, did they accomplish their purpose. Peterson was very in- dignant and went immediately to Colo mel Doherty's tent and made a com pIaint. The colonel made an investiga- tion and learning that Lieutenant Miller, who was the officer responsible for the company street when the affair happened, was absent at that time went to the lieutenant and demanded his | resignation. As result of the ducking he received, Peterson was seized with a | chill and was compelled to go to the hospital at camp. The cold then con- tracted, has since then developed into pneumonia. Other troubles have set in | and he now lies at his home in a weak condition.

The Company In u Fad Way Financially
This L~iquidator's Report.
PARIS, Nov. 19.-Tke liquidator Of the
Panama Canal company, in his report to
the Seine tribunal, says the agreement
which has been reached in the negotiations
with the United States of Colombia in re-
gard to the canal by Lieut.. Wyse do not
meet the hopes of the liauidator. He
trusts, however. that the government oil
Colombia will accept some notifications OF
the agreement after q new COMPANY has
been constituted. The negotiations with
the Credit Foncier and tho French govern
ment in regard to the formation of a new
Panama canal company still continue. II
the government refuses to intervene in the
matter the great enterprise is definitly
condemned.
1t is known, continues the officer in his
report, that the United States governments
is watching for q favorable opportunity to
sustain and control the canal ut a small
cost, without taking into account the
services already expended in the undertake
ing. The only way out of the difficulty, he
declares, is for a semi-oficial pressure to
be brought to bear on the governor Of the
Credit Foncier to induce him to bring the
matter to Il satisfactory issue. The report
dilates upon the difficulties which
present themselves in an attempt to real
ize OH and distribute the canal company's
assets. 1t concludes by saying the the
best means to overcome these difficulties is
for the senate aud chamber Of deputies to
pass a law assimllating the difference in the
to enable the liquidator to lave the power
to sell the entire property MS it stands, OF to
realiza on the available assets and distribute
the proceeds. N@t- NJ
