EXCUSED FROM PRACTICE.
The Pennsylvania College Football Team
Stopped by Too Much Snow.


GETTYSBURG, Nov 81 Special. To-day
for the first time since the Pennsylvania Col
lege Eleven was chosen the regular practice
was excused. The field was covered with
snow and slush, and Captain Hipsley ex-
ercised his men on the running track in the
gymnasium. Kline, who had his ankle
twisted, is not as badly injured as was at
first supposed, and will probably be able to
snap the ball in the game against York on
Saturday.
There has been trouble in the class of '93
over the publication of the junior annual,
the Spectrum The anti-non frats organized
a clique and sprung the election of the Board
of Managers unanimously and chose only
their candidates. The fraternity men of the
entire institution and the remaining non
frats have come out in a card to the alumni
published in the college monthly stating
the circumstances of the case and asking
them not to support the publication. This
may kill the Spectrum for the present Junior
class.
The banjo, mandolin and guitar clubs
have disbanded after giving but one enter

is greatly to be regretted that just when the
club has attained some proficiency the men,

BUCkLEY'S VIEWS OF 1T.

The New York Catcher Thinks His Old Club
Is in Very Bad Shape-Ex- Manager
HanIon Also Discusses the Matter and
Says a Few Sensible Things.
Dick Buckley, the well-known catclrer of
the New York club, was in the city yester-
dav. He said Rusie had certainly left the
Giants, and that he Buckley will likely
leave them also. He added that the New
York club will be in pretty bad shape for
next season.
Referring to the New York club yester-
day, ex-Manager Hanlon said: 81 am aw-
fully sorry that Richardson and Connor
have left the New Yorks. don't think
they have taken wise step, but 1 think
they could have been signed by the New
York club. A few days ago when L was in
New York could have signed Richardson
for the New York club at salary of S. 500.
Richardson's loss to that club is a great one;
in fact, far greater than the loss of Rusie or
ANYBODY else. Rusie, like all pitchers is
uncertain; they may break down at any
time; but an infelder like Richardson is a
sure and reliable man. If the New York
club wants to get Richardson's equal-that
is, if his equal can be had-more money will
have TO DE put up than what would have
held Danny. The truth is, the New York
club is going to be in very bad shape, in
deed. / am not blaming anybody in partic-
ular, but am only mentioning the fact be-
cause ! am sorry to see it. But reaction
will take place, and when it comes we may
all look out. Clubs cannot possibly stand
the big salaries that players are now de-
manding. know what 1 am talking about
when say this OF course, L am player,
but do not want to have matters forced so
far as to ruin ourselves. The demanding of
big salaries will in the long run end disas-
trously 10 PLAYERS as well as to those who
are putting up the money"
Ed Swartwood received letter from
Manager Buckenberger yesterday. The
latter fully expects to be appointed man
agcr of the Washington Association team.
The matter will probably be settled to-day.
Those who know Mr.. Buckcnberger best
speak very highly, indeed, of his ability as
manager If he goes to Washington it is
almost certain that Ed Swartwood will be
his right fielder. Ed will doubtless fill the
bill in first-rate style

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

The fifth round Of games in the Western
Pennsylvania Football League competition
| will be played off tomorrow. The race is
| now pretty one and is becoming more in
teresting every week. The defeat of the
champions by the Pittsburgs last Saturday
will go long way toward making the COM
petition from now on most exciting.
The other teams in the League think if
the Pittsburgs can down the hitherto invin-
chile McDonalds they can do the same
thing, and the Homesteads, who are at pres
ent in the lead and who are scheduled to
play the champions at Homestead, declare
their intention of retaining their position at
the head of the list by adding two other
points to their record tomorrow. The Nc
Donald players will have something to say
to this, however, and will in all likelihood
play their very hardest to regain their lost
ground. Whatever the result may be, an
other great game may be looked for. Sec
retary Macpherson has appointed Mr.. R. H.
Liddell, of the Pittsburg club, to referee
the game.
The Home Contest.
The local game will be almost as impor-
tant an event as last Saturdays contest.
The game will be played at Recreation
Park, and the contestants will be the Pitts
burg and the New Castle teams. The New
Castle players have made big reputation
for themselves since joining the League,
and are now looked upon as being second to
none in Western Pennsylvania. Last Sat-
urday they beat the McKeesports by goals
to 1, while the previous Saturday the Nc
Keesports defeated the Pittsburgs by SIM
liar score. The question is now being
asked, Are the New Castle team so many
goals better than the Pittsburgs? The local
players say they will solve the riddle to-
morrow. They will be represented by the
same team that performed so nobly last
week, with the possible exception of Bald
win in place of J. Attwell at half-back.
The latter caught severe cold through
playing in the rain on that occasion, and
has been confined to his home nearly all
week. Il
The third game will be between the two
tail-enders, the McKeesports and the
Bloomfields, which will be played at Nc
Mckeesport. The Bloomfelds
Scored Their First Point
last Saturday, and the result has greatly en-
couraged them to go in for better'results in
future. Their game tomorrow ought to be
a very close fight.
The game at Recreation Park tomorrow
will start at $3.50 P. NJ. The Pittsburg team
will be made up as follows: Goal. G. Mac
pherson; backs, T. Attwell and w. Powell,
half-backs A. Baldwin, J. Smith and C.
Childs; forwards, E. Waldron, j. O'Brien,
j. Wardle, J. McEwan and j. Matthews.
The records OF the teamsSo far show that
they are making good fight. Following is
the standing of the clubs up to date:

A DETECTIVE PLAYS TRAMP.

McManus Finally Runs Down the Last o
the Erie Counterfeiters.
CORY, Nov. 5.-[Specidl. l-Probably the
last member of the notorious Seeley and
Mccormick counterfeiting gang was ar
rested near Garland this afternoon in the
person of Ralph Van Nauler, son of Will
lam Van Nauler, lately lodged in the Erie
Jail. Ralph is about % years of age and is
the reputed lover of the dashing treasurer
OF the counterfeiters, Miss Nettie Morgan,
now in the Erie Jail, and who is suspected
of telling more than vas good either for her
lover or the rest of the gang. Several
months ago Detective McManus, disguised
as a tramp, wearily footed this entire dis
trict over and over, enduring the worst kind
of hardshIps. Finally he hired out to
Chauncey Marble, wealthy and respected
farmer and lumberman, and as result of
this Marble is now serving term in the
penitentiary for counterfeiting. This ar
rest, however, did not stop the issue of
spurious coin with which the entire district
is flooded, and McManus was again called
upon to play the tramp, special orders being
given him from the United States Secret
Service to follow his game until landed, as
the gangs had given more trouble to the
service than any Of late years.
McManus worked as farm hand, ard in
fact at any other job he could get until his
appearance became anything bat that of a
detective. He generally asked to receive
his wages in silver and was frequently re-
warded by being paid in bogus coin.
Finally, locating near Garland, this county.
he worked for Farmer Van Nauler, and
loafng around in sleepy sort of way
managed to SECURE possession of facts
enough to warrant the arrest of the cele-
brated counterfeiter Mccormick, Of We
mango county Then in quick succession
followed the arrests of Miss Nettie Morgan,
the pretty 15-year-old treasurer of the gang;
the elder Van Nauler, and to-day the girls
lover, Ralph, who was sent to Erie to join
his girl

test between Dixon and Fred johnson, Tom

land in April. If not we will remain at
home and wait for Billy Murphy or some of
the other feather-weights to come to time
l am told that johnson is wonderfully
clever fellow, and a responsible correspond
ent also informs me that it would be next
to impossible for him to box under lis
pounds We might give away pound or
so, but as long as George can fight at lis
pounds his opponents can have no greater
advantage"

1t VIII Be Lively.

Arrangements have been made for an
other game between the Washington and
jefferson and the East End Gym Rugby
teams. Last Saturday the contest between
these teams ended very unsatisfactory, land
it is pleasing to know they have agreed to
meet again. The contest ought to be very
interesting one because of the rivalry be-
tween the teams There will certainly be
lots of spirit displayed in to-morrow's game
and it will be well worth seeing. Both
teams are good ones.
