Association will at its next meeting buy its

that the club will not be in the field next

the part of the Association managers, who
are anxious to secure several of the valuable
players of the team, such as Crooks, Knell,
Duffee, Twitchell and Catchers Donohue

WHY THEY DIsBANDED.
Secretary Hughes, Of Manhattan, Talks
About the Late Football Team

Secretary Hughes, Of Manhattan, Talks
About the Late Football Team.
New YORK, Nov. III Special Regard
ing the disbandment of the football eleven
of the Manhattan Athletic Club, Secretary
Hughes said last night: "We do not wish
to go on record as withdrawing from the
American Football Union and disbanding
our team because we thought the unjust
10O-mile rule would affect the strength of
the team. 1t would certainly take three
good men, Ames, Donnelly and Lilly, but
we had excellent players to take their
places, and, as whole, do not believe the
playing strength of the team would have
been greatly weakened. The talk about
Cash being from Chicago is absurd. Cash
is born New Yorker
NO. said Mr.. Hughes. "the reason we
withdrew from the union was owing to the
circumstance of the New Yorks getting
Woodruff from Philadelphia, just 90 miles
away, and then having a 1O0-mile prohib-
tive rule passed. That's what caught US.
Why not have made it 25, 80 or IS miles?
But just far enough to clear Philadelphia
Well, it's all over, and there's no use talk
ing about it. But it was certainly funny
rule"
Ames and Lilly started yesterday for
Chicago.

PROFESSIONAL BOXING.
The New York Athletic Club Passes Very
Significant Resolution,

The New York Athletic Club Passes . Very
Significant Resolution.
NEW YORK, Nov. Ill Special. ]-At the
regular monthly meeting of the Board Of
Governors of the New York Athletic Club,
held at the club house last evening, the fol-
lowing was passed:
''That inasmuch as the committee ap-
pointed by the club have been unable to find
any amateus boxers who are willing to COM
pete for prizes of the value and character
prescribed by the constitution of the ANA
teur Athletic Union, the committee be re-
lieved from further duty, and the club will
give professional boxing entertainment as
soon as the preliminaries can be arranged"
The resolution is significant. The last
boxing tournament of the New York A. G.
was of professional character, President
A. G. Mills having decided to put a stop to
the practice of paying amateurs" the
'long green" or goin nuggets. The affair
was success, but as there was some criti-
cism both inside and outside of the club on
professionals competing for amateur organ
izations the board decided to give ''ama-
teurs" one more chance to be amateurs, and
the Athletic Committee was empowered to
arrange an amateur boxing tournament if it
was possible. The committee put the mat
ter in the hands of Benny Williams and
Charley White. Williams had for years
been arranging amateur" fights for the n.
Y. A. c. and knew the fraternity, while
White is hand and glove with them. But
no personal influence went" and failure
was the result Hence the resolution, and
the only inference can be that there are no
amateur boxers that are not in the ''duffer"
class.
The decision of the board will be favora-
BILE to the sporting members of the club
The two happiest men in the building were
Mike Donovan and his assistant, Denny
Butle-, who had been an1iously awaiting
the result of the meeting. They sat down,
and then ensued some queer figuring, as
overheard by reporter.
"Well, Mike" said Butler, ';now let's
get to work. Who'll we get?'
Buffers list of men included Pete Mccoy,
Walter Campbell, Jim Giynn, Bill Davis,
Jack Myers, Charley Mccarthy, Jimmy
McHale. Paddy Smith, Mike Cushing and
Patsy Kerrigan. An attempt will be made
to get one of Paddy Slavin's brothers, now
in the city, to fight one of the foregoing.
The first professional entertainment will
be held on Saturday evening, November %,
and will doubtless be corker. Mike Don
ovan wants all "amateurs" to write to him
in case they wish to come out in their true
colors

The Champion Says He Can't Understand
What the Cyclone Wants.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-[Special lack
McAuliffe, the light weight champion of
America, while in Bloomington was asked
whether he ever expected to meet Billy
Myer again. 81 can't tell about that" he
answered. "He doesn't seem to be anxious
to fight for even money. In fact, 1 could
never succeed in making any satisfactory
arrangements with him. But, if things
could be fixed up to suit, am ready for a
battle at any time"
McAuliffe's memory is very dull in refer
ence to Mver If he had said that Never
could not make any satisfactory arrange
ments with him he would have come nearer
the truth. as he knows that the Streator
"Cyclone" had forfeit up in Boston, New
York, and in this city for months to fight
him or any other lightweight in America
After the Fitzsimmons-D Dempsey fight
McAuliffe and Myer were matched to fight
in New Orleans, and 81 200 forfeit had
been posted rs a guarantee to meet in the
ring McAuliffe funked out of that fight,
and forfeited the 81, 900, which Alf Ken
nedy, Myers backer, never received. Nc
Auliffe is clever fighter, and won his title
by defeating Jimmy Carroll, trick he
failed to accomplish against Myer at North
Judson, Ind.

with everybody is, what to take?
At recent congress of physicians this
question was very positively settled by the
unanimous recommendation to the public to

a Giant next year at a salary of 81, 900 and a
good slice of advance money. He expects
that Manager Powers while in Cincinnati
will sign Jack Boyle to catch for him. Last
evening Director Kerr, of the local club,

he had agreed to go to New York. Mr.

denied that an offer of any kind had been

EAsToN, Nov. 11.-[Special Lafayette
and Lehish put up strong game of foot
ball to-day. Lehigh won, more because of
an error of judgment by Lafayette than by
superior playing. 1t was at the close of the
first half Lafayette had the ball and had
not gained on two downs. Lehigh had been
showing the ball and it was within twenty
yards of Lafayette's territory. Lafayette
should have punted the ball up the field
downed her, got the bali, made twelve yards,
and then Blunt made touch down, from
which McClung kicked goal.
That was the only scoring Lehigh did and
it was just half minute before time was
called. Had the ball been punted Lehigh
would not have scored.
