SOMETHING ABOUT M,GUNNIGLK
A Rumor That He May Not Return to
Manage the Team.

Rumor That He May Not Return to
Manage the Team.
Quiet rumors were in circulation in local
baseball circles yesterday to the effect that
Manager McGunnigle will not return to
this city to manage the club. A gentleman
in position to know something about the
matter said last evening:
1.-The local directors to-day asked Al
Buckenberger to try and get certain players
for them, but he refused in consequence of
his having letter from Won der Abe assur-
ing him of position in the Association.
Won der Abe states in his letter that the
Association affairs will all be settled by
December 1. Buckenberger declined to
work for the local directors, fearing that by
so doing he was running his chances in the
Association.
But even Mr.. Buckenberger is inclined
TO think from what he has heard that Nc
Gunnigle won't return. What the trouble
is don't know
None of the directors could be seen last
evening to confirm or deny the above; but
it is likely that one or more new players
may be heard from to-day, as the wires were
put into operation last evening.

M'CLUNG WELL PLEASED.
The Yale Captain Thinks That Princeton
Played Great Game.

NEW York, Nov. PA smile of happi-
ness rRiiated through the deposit of mud
which ooaIed the features of Captain Nc
Clung as he was carried to the dressing
room Of the team after the football game
yesterday. And the reasons for his Joy are
partly explained by short conversation
held with him while brawny rubber was
putting life into him He said:
princeton men have reason to be proud
Of their team, and I think there is little
doubt that they put up more scientific and
cleaner game than Harvard. l have not had
time 10 realize that the months of training
and planning are over. For the men who have
worked so devotedlv to play football for old
Yale l am very glad that they can 60 out of
training under the most joyful of circum-
stances"
As Captain Warren was leaving the field
he was not too much occupied with bad re-
Elections to talk over the contest with re-
porter. yale clearly outplayed u.s." he
said. "hecause they were able to keep up
their hard play straigk3 through the con-
test. Our men were raw at the beginning
of the season. and while another week of
practice would have increased our ability to
hold Yale down 10 considerably smaller
score, do not believe our team could have
beer got into championship shape if We had
been given an extra two weeks or SO for
work"

COATES, of the L. E. Gyms, is one of the
finest players and one of the most gentle
manly.
WHAT good team there could be made by
selecting eleven from the Gyms and the
Three AS.
THE Z. T. Gyms before disbanding should
try and get another game with some good
Ea Stern team.
THE Three AS team have probably had
worse luck regarding weather this year than
any other team in the State.
BAD as the weather was Thursday It was
better than that which frowned on the
Three AS when they had the Clevelands
here.

sWINDLED BY A FRUIT TREE MAN.
Allegheny County Farmers Bite on the Old
Promissory Note Scheme.

Promissory Note Scheme.
Some people in the southwestern portion
of this county are at present disposed to say
with the Psalmist, and not only in haste
but at leisure, that if not all men are liars .
wonderable percentage are.
More than year ago man sold various
bills of fruit and shade trees to number
of farmers, among others Samuel Groom
and Nicholas Nolte. He took their notes
for year promising that they should have
three years time if they wished at 3 per
cent annual interest, but the rate was not
specified on the note. As prices were as
cheap as those of nurserymen generally
and interest low the inducement to buy was
strong and the man met with great success.
The year expired few weeks ago and the
debtors were astonished on learning that
the till seller had discounted the notes in
bank in Erie, and on basis of per cent
interest. As the bank is an innocent
holder, some of them have decided to SUBJ
NIT to their fate and pay, but it is said that
Mr.. Nolte and some others will contest, be-
ing able to prove the verbal contract.
Mr.. Groom paid his note. Nolte's is $3.50,
so that he will be out $31 so if he cannot
bring the agent to time, and Mr.. Groom
seems to think there is small chance of do
ing so. The dodge enabled the seller to dis
pose of many more trees than he would other
wise have been able to do, but he has killed
his field of operations in that section, and
some patrons are put to great inconvenience
by being forced to raise the money two
years sooner than they had calculated on.
Some of the victims are comforting them
selves with the reflection that the Pyth-
agorean philosophy of future state has
never been disproven, and that when rein
carnated they may be able to witness the
atonement of the man who has done them up.
