GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Fred Jansen s
scheme of league of athletic clubs appears
to be making good headway. As q matter
of fact, the only opposition to the plan has
come from few men who are prominently
identified with the Amateur Athletic
Union. However, nearly every large ath-
letic club in the country have announced
their hearty approval of the scheme. Mr..
Jansen has letter book full Of commune
cations from prominent athletic clubs,
stating that the idea met with favor, or had
decided to join.
On July 90 the Staten Island Athletic
Club passed resolution appointing F. w.
Jansen, j. G. Cole and H. Woodruff a
committee to organize an Athletic Club
League.
On October 2 a notice was received from
Secretary w. I. Wallace that at meeting
of the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy
they had decided to join the movement.
Howard Perry, Secretary of the Colum-
bia Athletic Club, of Washington, on Octo-
ber 16 notified Mr.. Jansen that that club
bad decided to join the new league. The
Olympic Athletic Club, of San Francisco,
also notified Mr.. Jansen on November IL
that they could be included in the move
ment Among other clubs that have de-
cided to join are the Atheneum Club, of
Toronto; Crescent Athletic Club, of Brook
lyn; Pastime Athletic Club, of St. Louis,
and the Providence Athletic Club.
The Detroit Athletic Club, through their
President, F. X. Stearns, and ex-President
F. W. Eddy, have expressed approval, also
the Manhattan A. C.
Mr. Jansen is in daily receipt of COM
mandatory letters. and the outlook is de-
cidedly favorable for the success of the
plan. The drift of sentiment of those who
favor the plan is that the present unsatis-
factory condition of A. A. U. affairs makes
a change of some sort very desirable.

Takers at New Haven.

Five to Three on the Blues Find Few
Takers at New Haven.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 24.-[Spceial. THE
Yale football team made its last appearance
to-day on the Yale field. Shortly after 2
o'clock the members of the team and subs,
headed by Captain McClung, left the fence
and on an easy trot ran to the field, where
half an hours work in practicing signals
was indulged in. After the work the men
ran back to the campus and each in turn
trotted off toward his room. They ap-
peared in the best of spirits and wholly re-
covered from the hard battle with Harvard
las: Saturday. They met at supper tonight
as usual With the mornings breakfast and
dinner at 1890 the training for this year
will have come to an end. AT 80 the team
will leave for New York and will be quar-
tered at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Since the last Saturdays game Heffelfin-
ger, McClung, Welles, Bliss and McCor-
mick have carried bruises and sprains, but
to-day they seem to have entirely recovered,
and, like the rest of the team, are as fresh
as they we're a week ago. To some people
they seem in better condition, for they have
done no hard work during the past week,
except that in the game with Harvard last
Saturday. Recitations in all of the depart
ments of the University will close at 1:30 P.
NJ. tomorrow, and MANY students expect to
take the 1:30 train on which the team go to
New York Others will not go until later,
aid many will wait until the early Thursday
trains. The betting on the game is very
quiet. Students and sporting men offer to
3 on Yale, but find few takers.

picious tactics In the first race.
LELAND STANFORD has sent the following
dispatch to Robert Bonner: 81 will urge
SunoFs early shipment. am sure she would
have gone to you with record OF 2OS or
better had not her lameness prevented her
proper conditioning"
"PIrrsBURG PHIL" It is said will winter in
Nashville, and will take there Kern and
Sluggard, the only horses he has in training.
King Cadmus, Montague, Buddhist and Mil
roy have been turned out for the season.
Mflroy has been gelded.
Bow BELLS, full brother of the dead stal.
lions Bell Boy and st. Bell, will be trained
next year. He has trotted quarters In 10
seconds unframed, which would seem to
warrant the belief that he has inh herited the
same degree OF speed that has made his dis,
tinguished brothers and sisters celebrated
on the American trotting turf.
THE indications are that Clifton will open
its gates very soon. There has been finan-
ciaI deal that would seem to point In this
direction, and 1t is accentuated by the TACT
that carpenters and painters are now busily
engaged in repairing and beautify1ng the
pretty little track. 1t is very doubtful If
the people of the county would offer any OBJ
lection to the meeting, while to very many
of them it would be welcome.

THE ASSOCIATION GAMES.
Some Exciting Contests Expected Among
the Teams of the Local Leapua

Some Exciting Contests Expected Among
the Teams of the Local League.
The interest in the affairs of the Western
Pennsylvania Football League has been at
q very low ebb since the disastrous meeting
of that organization little over two weeks
ago Harmony being once more restored,
however, the enthusiasm is again being re-
vived, and, with the commencement of the
holiday contests tomorrow, the League
looks like taking new lease of life.
The games scheduled for Thanksgiving
Day are as follows: Pittsburg versus
Bloomfield, at Recreation Park; New Cas-
tie versus Mcdonald, at New Castle and
Mckeesport versus Homestead, at McKees-
port.
The game between the two local
clubs is expected to be very
close affair. In their first game, the Bloom
fields claimed they lost the game through
the bad decisions of the referee. Good care
should, therefore, be exercised in appoint
ing man for the position who will give
satisfaction to both teams. The most i'm
portant meeting tomorrow will undoubt-
eGly be that between the New Castle and
Mcdonald teams. The New Castles have
now got good hold on first position, and
will try their utmost to win to-morrow's
game, as the McDonalds are the only team
who have beaten them this season. The
first game between the Homesteads and Nc
Keesports resulted in tie, but the Home
stead team have been showing such excel
lent form since that time that they ought to
about have the best of to-morrow's argu-
ment.
The game at Recreation Park tomorrow
will commence at 2:30. The Pittsburg team
is expected to be as follows: Goal, Ben
Poole; backs, 7. Powell and w. Powell;
half backs, J. Attwell, C. Childs and j.
Smith; forwards, Matthews, Langford,
Wardle, O'Brien and Waldron.

IT WAS A SUCCESS.

The East End Gyms Have Some Good Ath-
Ietic Performances and Contests.
The athletic and musical entertainment at
the East End Gymnastic Club last evening
was one of the most successful that has been
held in this locality for a long time. The
gymnasium building was crowded, and
large number Of ladies were presen:.
The principal features of the programme
we're the boxing and wrestling. In the
middle-weight class the Martin brothers
gave fair exhibition, although they have
much to learn. John Stancliff gave a
splendid exhibition of ball striking, and in
setto with Fl. Herbert showed that he is
good boxer StanclifF and Herbert are
heavy-weights, and they were cheered.
They really did we'll, and with little more
study Stancliff can become thoroughly
good man with the gloves.
Coates and Garrison had an exciting
wrestling contest, and they wrestled so long
without fall that Referee Goodwin called
the contest a draw. The audience yelled
for a finish and when the wrestlers resumed
Coates threw his man by neat flying fall.
NJ. Du Barry won the high kick by clear
ing feet 2A inches. W. C. Adams gave a
performance on the slack wire and the men,
bers of the club gave exhibitions of horizon
tai bar exercise.

THE TWELvE.cLUB SCHEME.
j. W. Spalding Thinks That Plan Will Be
the End of the Trouble.

j. W. Spalding Thinks That Plan Will Be
the End of the Trouble.
NEW YORK, Nov 24.-[Special. ]-"Do
you think the plan for 12-club League
will eventually succeed?" was yesterday
asked of. w. Spalding by reporter.
"While am unable to make an authori
tative statement" he replied, "yet am
confident League with 12 clubs will be the
outcome of the present negotiations. Only
two cities are now opposed to it, Philadel-
phia and Chicago, and 1 do not think the
Philadelphia Association club managers are
so violently antagonistic as is generally sup
posed. Boston is openly in favor of the
plan. Philadelphia is leaning that way, but
the Chicago Association club magnates still
hold their heads very high The idea, how
ever, is steadily gaining ground and will be
put into execution before spring.
Eyes, 12-club League is entirely prac-
ticable. The arguments that there will be
too many tail-enders will not do. When
the Association tried the 12-club plan some
years ago, nearly all the cities in the circuit
were weak, for the reason that at the time
the Association added to their not power
full circuit, forr shaky ball towns. At the
present time the circuit would be composed
of the best places now occupied by League
and Association clubs, and would be very
strong. There would be ten very good
cities and two average ones. The ten
strong points would be New York, Brook
lyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland and
ST. Louis. The average towns would be
Washington and Louisville.
''If there is an impression that anybody
&c IN har fosr 81 faI eIn hol
pelled So far as the League is concerned,
everything will be done on basis of fair
ness. No club will be thrown down, the
sole object being to put the game on
foundation where it will prosper. The
present condition of affairs is very hurtful
to the sport, and all who have its interests
at heart should strive to improve it."

touchdown. Time, 8 minutes Homans
made a brilliant run of 80 yards. Then
Flint twice and Harold once gained 10
yards, and Hol,y Y rushed the ball across for
another touchdown. Flint again gained
% yards. King, on a trick, gained 10 yards,
crossing the line, but he went out of bounds
Flint again made touchdown. The fourth
touchdown was made by Flint.
Homans showed great improvement in
punting. The eleven was slow in getting
on the bail after the Scrub had lost it. The
interference was excellent. Bergen in kick
ing and Small in running did good work on
the Scrub. George, '89, was here to coHch
Symmes. The other coachers were Poe.
Speir, 'S7, and Thomas, 80. There was a
hard rain during most of the practice. The
eleven is in good physical condition. The
practice was strong.

Expect q Tough Fight.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 4.-Yale will do no
more work on the field before she meets
Princeton Thursday. Yesterday afternoon
the team ran several miles, and enjoyed a
bath after it was over. All the men are in
prime condition, and apparently none the
worse for their conflict with Harvard.
Princeton is acknowledged as a foe worthy
of Yale's metal, and it will not be with alb.
solute confidence that they enter the strug-
gle. The team and her supporters expect
to win, but they have doubts enough not to
care to wager more than to 3. They find
some takers for small sums.
