Justice to Mrs. Harrison.

FfOW ne fHNuueiIittW ItibcS.
a Washington dispatch given in the
Times of Monday last stated that Mrs.
Dimmick, sister of Mrs. President Harri-
son, and a member of the Presidents
family, has been carried on the payroll of
the White House as housekeeper and that
the discovery had caused unpleasant
social complications in Washington.
The dispatch came from a trusted cor
respondent at late hour and was pub
lished without investigation, but so seri-
Gus an accusation could not fail to COM
mand searching inquiry into the facts,
and we are glad TO say, upon authority
that cannot be questioned, including the
assurance of member of the Cabinet
that neither Mrs. Dimmick nor any other
member Of President IlarrisOn's imme-
diate household has ever received any pay
from the Government.
Wesincerely regreat that these columns
have been used TO cast so unjust re
prOaCh upon the family of the President
Mistakes may be pardoned in the heat or
haste Of political criticism of Presidents,
Cabinets and other political leaders, but
the families of public men should be ever
shielded by the sanctity that pertains %
the American home.
Had the statement been true IL would
have been eminently proper TO giyeit pub
iclty but being untrue and an imposition
upon this journal, we desire to give the
correction in the most manly and con-
spiCuOus manner.

Mullane in Doubt.

CINCINNATI. Oct. 1Z-[Specidt. lone Red
Leg has signed for 80, and that one is W.
Arlington Latham. All the players-save
Count Mulane-were at the Gibson House
House last night talking over the situation.
When the League lost the great fight for the
establishment of the legality of the reserve
rule the way was jud cially pointed out
which would cover the fatal defect. The
contracts which National League players
signed this year gave their old clubs legal
options on their services for 1892, provided
notice was duly given them on or before the
3lst of October, 1891. Such notice has been
served on all the Reds save "the count, s" and
he avoided the Gibson last night. He un-
doubtedly has offers from Association clubs
in mis- pocket: The Athletics are after Bug
Holiday, and Billy Rhines has also been ap-
preached. The latter is not anxious to get
into Association company. and he pressed
President Brush to answer one question,
viz: '1f sign with you is it to play in the
League or the ,Association?n 49,. -.,--
He was assured that it was League, and
then he significantly observed: 81 want to
stay in f1rst-cass company"
George Smith did not sign. but he said:
my word is as good as my signature. I
like Cincinnati and you can count on my re-
turn"
There are very few, OF the Reds-despite
their 'hesitation-whO desire to leave the

NEW HAVEN, Oct. 17.-tSpecidl. 1.-The Yale
football team has had full months practice
and are now ut q standstill. With accidents
to Captain McClung and his side partner
Bliss, Hefflefinger's indisposition, and Mills
sprained ankle, little advancement has been
made during the past ten days.
The excellent work done early in the sea-
son has faded into almost nothing, and it is
doubtful IL the university team could to-day
make better showing against the fresh
man eleven than it did against Stages team
last Wednesday. In that game Van Leuren
showed remarkable power, and many Yale
man. wished that he could in some way find
place on Yale's eleven. The team is also
in an unsettled condition. Stanford Nor
rison's failure to appear and take his place
in the rush line has kept the position of
right guard a doubtful quantity and the
men, including Beard, who have done good
work, have simply played with the idea
that on Morrison's return to college they
would be returned to the ranks, which
means the privilege to play on the college
forced on the Varsity" There has been no
regular coaching, except that done by Nc
Clung, until Bull arrived on Thursday.
He will give his attention to the team for
a time, and after that it is expected that
Ray Tompkins, Willis Terry and Eugene
Richards will assist in putting the eleven
into shape.
Nothing has been done regarding the

challenge because, as Bayne Meetings.

the knee and hook, while the coronet of his
hind foot has band of white about it. He

Mr.. Reid was the bidder.

known. 1t has stopped you all" cried Mr..
Easton. There was dead silence in the
vast assemblage. The bids were stopped
and the king of stations was knocked down
to Mr.. Reid.
During the entire sale the stations, brood
mares, weanlings, yearlings 2-year-olds, and
horses in training brought more than $685.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS, Oct. H.-[SpecidL 1.-The
daily practice of Harvard football candi-
dates is showing two or three Things which
has been somewhat apparent from the start.
They are that the eleven is ,:oing to be
strong back of the rush line, in fact. very
strong, but wofulIy weak in the center of the
center of the line. To-day the team showed
better football in the game against Williams
than it had been capable of until now. The
raw material which had only been used in
the rough until this week is now being put
veloping the men into some sort of players.
Captain Trafford has 90 men ut the training
table.
Much is being said and written about the
probability of Harvard and Princeton play
ing game this alL The feeling here is that
for Harvard men the game with Yale is the
great event of the year. They do not be-
liev in playing Princeton before they play
Yale and running the risk of losing valuable
men by injury. They do not think that
after Thanksgiving Day, when Yale and
Princeton play, it will be possible to ar
range 4 game, and the season will be too
late if extended TO that date at any rate.
Though no final arrangements have as yet
been made for the Harvard and Yale game,

field on November 81 There has been soma
talk about its being played in New York,
but such an arrang gement will never be
made, unless Yale agrees one year to play
it in Cambridge, and in The of year to play
it in New Haven or New York, as Yale may
wish.

The Local League Sluggers Mop Up the
Diamond With the Gyms.
There was quite a good crowd at Exposi-
tion Park yesterday afternoon to see the
last ball game of the season there. The
cranks, for such were the audience, saw the
Gyms fairly pulverized, and doubtless the
county champions would leave the field
thoroughly convinced that they are not
National League class yet. Their defeat was
bad one.
viii Gumbest pitched the first six innings
for the East Enders, and Thompson pitched
the balance. For three innings Gumbert
did exceedingly well, not run being made
by his opponents. In the fourth they some
what measured him, and his support was
bad. The fifth inning came, and he was
knocked out of sight almost. Hanlon led Off
with single, and then Bierbauer and Shu-.
CART we're retired. Miller came with a single
to center, and Steen allowed the Dall to get
past him, and both Hanlon and Miller
scored Hitting and errors netted four
more runs in the inning. In the sixth three
more runs we're made, and then Thompson
went in to pitch. Thompson was thumped
hard, and he gave seven bases on balls.
The Pittsburgers played very well, and
Maui was certainly too much for the Gyms.
Ad Gumbert played second for the Gyms,
and did tolerably well. He made a fine
home run. The score:

HARVARD AND YALE.
Final Arrangements for Their Great Game
to BE Made This Week.


CAMBRIDGE, Oct. H-[SpecfoL 1.-Two of the
most talked about young men in the country
Just now will meet in solemn conference at
Springfield next Tuesday. They are Captain
Trhfford, of the Harvard football eleven, and
Captain McClung, of Yale's eleven. Although
it has been taken for granted that Harvard
and Yale would. of course, play game this
fall and it was as generally expected that
the game would be played November 2l,
still, until to-day not word had passed be-
tween the football arrangements of the two
colleges in reference to a game.
To-day Captain Trafford received this tel
egram from Captain McClung: when and
where can YOU meet me to consult regarding
a football game between Harvard and
ale?" Captain Trafford Immediately tele-
graphed this answer: 81 will meet you. at
Springfield next Tuesday" Harvard con-
siders this equivalent to a challenge and the
negotiations will be successfully carried out.
There is no doubt that the game will be
played at Springfield five weeks from to-day.
