PRINCETON STILL HOPEFUL.
The Orange and Black Not at All Discour-
aged by Ynle's Victory

PRINCETON. y. J., Nov. 23.-T Special. i
The football men who were in attendance
al the Yale-Harrard game yesterday re-
turned TO Princeton this morning. Every
man watched the game critically of course,
but a. q result OF his careful observation no
one to-day had anything striking to relate.
/ have talked with quite number of the
men this afternoon. and all that the most of
them had to say could be summed up in the
few words, yale did play a tremendously
strong game" But they all added that they
expected this, and that Yale's work did not
in the least surpass their expectations.
What they saw yesterday does not seem
TO have changed them in their opinion as to
she result of the coming Thanksgiving Day
game. They realize they have some hard
work to do if they are going to win. but to
perform the work is not an impossibilitv,
and a desperate effort Will be made during
the few DAYS still remaining to put the
team in shape to do it. Captain Warren, in
commenting upon Saturdays game, said
that Yale put up an exceedingly strong
game in her team work, but that she did
moi show in anv better form than he had
expected. He is in no way discouraged as
10 the result of the Thanksgiving Dav
game, but saws his men have some hard
work to do to get into shape to walk over
Yale, but he thinks Princeton has fair
show and is still in it.
To keep in good training the men all took
walk out into the country about five miles
this afternoon. Trainer McMasters saws
the men are all in excellent physical condi-
ton. Poe, who injured his ankle in last
Thursday practice game and has not PLAYED
since, will be on the field again tomorrow
when the men will be given a practice game
of about an hour, which will be repeated on
Tuesday. Students but no outsiders will be
admitted to the field. On account of freez-
ing and thswing the held that has been
used is in a horrible condition, and closely
resembles a country cattle yard in the spring
of Jhe year. Tomorrow and the rest of the
week the grounds on the south side of the
regular field will be marked and posts set
up, so that 1t can be used instead OF the old
grounds

WALTER CAMPS CRITICISM.

He Expresses Himself Fully and Interes-
tingly About the Recent Yale and Har-
ward Game. Players Who are Worthy
of Praise. Bliss, Hinkley and Hartwell
Mentioned.
Regarding the great football game be-
tween Harvard and Yale Saturday Walter
Camp has the following to say:
There were plenty of surprises at Spring
field, as is usually the case when two teams
meet after having been thoroughly talked
over and written about for months. The
first surprise was the lack of weakness in
the Harvard center. Even Heffelfinger
found it easier to make his gain little to
the right or left of either guard than
straight through, where he was many a
time stopped. And in the second half Har-
ward forced the Yale center quite as often
as Yale forced Harvard's. The next sur
prise was the strength of Yale ends. Hink-
ley and Hartwell played well above their
regulations, and their work was worth a
great deal tc the Yale captain.
The punting of Bliss was Unexpectedly
strong, and although for time in the sec
ond half Trafford's kicks were forcing Yale
steadily back, it was sure to be the Harvard
halves who would finally muff the catch
and thus surrender the ground Trafford had
gained. Harvard's best chance of turning
the tide lay in that early portion of the
second half when Trafford's punting was
taking few yards at every interchange be-
tween himself and Bliss and neither side
seemed able II get in much effective run
ming. One could actually feel the increas-
ing confidence that must have been pervad-
ing the Harvard team and sympathizers, as
well as the unpleasant nervousness which
was entering the Yale ranks as the play
came gradually further down into the Yale
goal But twice was the ground lost for the
Harvard by bad handling of Bliss punts, and
recover while Harvard fell back into hope
lesSness
Both teams seemed to have an unlimited
amount of wind, for Harvard's steady fore
ing up through the center in the second
half, followed almost Immediately by Yale's
progress down the field by short runs,
showed cohclusively that neither team had
been exhausted in the first half. Some of
this may be accounted for by the fact that
both captains inteIspersed enough kicking
among their runs to be sure and keep their
men fresh and able. But for all that il is
undeniable that both teams must have been
III Soou Sohul1ioh W heep up TIE regular
work on a rather warm day through the two
three-quarters of an hours with no apparent
weakening.
The work between the snapback and the
quarter on both sides was clean and good,
there being almost none of the delays usu-
ally consequent upon downs due to inter-
ance with the ball, and both centers gave
their quarters good swapping to handle.
There was notable absence of anything
like difference of opinion upon rulings, and
both Mr.. Moffat: and Mr. Coffin sustained
their regulations as most competent
officials

THAT DISPUTED GAME.
The Geneva College Team Captain and
Umpire Claim the Victory.

The Geneva College Team Captain and
Umpire Claim the Victory.
The following communications from the
Captain of the Geneva College football
team, who played the w. Z. P. team Satur-
day, and also from the umpire of the game,
explain themselves:
To the Sporting Editor of the Dispatch:
DEAR SIR-There appears to be q misunder-
standing in regard to the result of the foot
ball game last saturday between W. U P
and Geneva College, at East End GYM
grounds. A clear sta tement OF the facts con-
cerning the point i'll dispute is necessary
The umpire decided that a certain play
was of side,' which, If allowed to pass,
would score the W. U. P four points The
latter team protested against the decision,
game proceed with the point under
protest, to be decided afterward This
proposal was not received by the Geneva
team, who claimed that decision should be
made by the referee in accordance with the
Off-side play. The referee, up to this point
had not rendered a decision, but simply Of
fered proposal, which was not agreed to-
lie then said the following i'm the presence
of many witnesses who are willing to testify
to the truth: "If both captains will be satls-
fed ] viii render decis on
Both captains heSitated, and then con-
ferred with their respective teams The
referee then added this assurance: Il feel
sure that it will be satisfactory to both
sues Upon Jn1S assurance Doth captain )
agreed TO abide by the decision OF the
referee who decided that the ball should be
given TO ". L. p at the 25-yard line. The
game then went on. The latter team claims
the four points over the umpires and the
referees decision, which. of course is out of
the question entirely, according to the fol-
lowing rule:
15 (a). THE umpire is the judge for the
players, and his decision is final regarding
fouls and unfair tactics.
Oh. ''The referee is Judge for the ball, and
his decision is final in all points not covered
by the umpire
The referee rendered decision. From
this there is no appeal. Therefore, the game
is decided by rule in favor of Geneva, to L.
CHARLES o. DENIES, Captain Geneva.
To the sporting Editor of the Dispatch:
DEAR SRI would like to make a state
Inent in regard to the disputed point in Sat
urdays game between Genera and w. Z. p.
The decision on the point was made by the
referee alone. The umpire was not asked
for decision, nor did he give one.
At the close of the game the referee
claimed that his decision was not final. Now,
IL the re cree wishes to maintain his deci-
SION, we Will accept it: but, if not, l claim
the right to make the decision myself NY
decision is that Evans was offside when he
touched the ball down, because Steele was
the tarthest man up the field when he kicked
the ball, and Evans touched il down at least
ten yards behind the line before Steele was
within 10 yards of the line. Yours,
w. M. GEORGE,
Umpire of the Game

HE BLAMEs O'NEII.
Billy Barnie Says j. Palmer Is RESPONSE
BILE for the Present War.

Billy Barnie Says j. Palmer Is RESPONSE
BILE for the Present War.
Bold and baldheaded Billy Barnie dropped
into the city yesterday morning on his way
from Chicago to Baltimore He is an Asso-
citation magnate, and during conversation
with the writer yesterday deplored the
present trouble between the League and the
Association for it. He said
81. Palmer O'Neil told me himself that
he was instrumental in having the League
Conference Committee dissolved Had that
committee been kept together, things would
have been settled by this time O'Neil said
the Association had determined on putting
a club into Chicago, and that being so, it
was useless to retain the committee But
O'Neil forgot that during our Washington
conference the League took Mike Kelly
from us. The League committee told us
they had nothing to do with that, and I told
O'Nei we had nothing to do with the Chi
cago affair.
''What we want now is for the League to
keep all the players it now has and let us
do the same; let us have club in Chicago
and one in Boston, and we will agree to sign
a national agreement. In short, let both
organizations remain as they now are and
let us respect each others contracts, reser-
vations, etc. That is our position, and We
claim it is reasonable and fair
Mr.. Barnie went on to say that everything
in connection with the Chicago Association
club was going along all right When Mr..
Barnie arrived in this city he met Pitcher
Jones. of Homestead, and signed him to
pitch for the Athletics next season.
Mr.. Barnie further said that the Associa-
tion would likely have a ten-club circuit.
He stated that there are now nine clubs and
the tenth will either be in New York or
Brooklyn. He intimated that Jim Mutrie
might be given charge of q team in Buffalo
and in that event New York and BROOKLYN
would not be bothered.

Swimming Races.

He Defeats McEwen in the First Of Their
Swimming Raoss.
There was really an exciting swimming
race at the Natatoriun last evening between
Joseph McEwen and J. P. Fox. As already
stated they were matched to swim series
of three races for a prize and an outside bet
by their friends. Last evening they swan
20 lengths of the pool, the distance being
quarter of mile and 20 feet The sporting
editor of this paper was referee, and Messrs.
McIver and Bruce lapkeeper and time
keeper respectively. There was large
attendance.
The contestants made a good start, and
Fox at once went slightly to the front.
Both men swan in an excellent and plucky
manner. being heartily urged on by their
respective friends. Fox, who was SWIM
ming in lighter fashion than his opponent,
gradually drew ahead and won a most
exciting race by four or five yards in seven
minutes and 30 seconds.
McEwen was evidently a little out of
form, as he tired perceptibly toward the
finish. Although beaten he swan very
plucky race. There was considerable bet
ting, McEwen' being the favorite To-
morrow evening they will swim their half
mile race

Yale-General Football News

At the last moment the team of the
Washington and Jefferson College have de-
cided not to come to Pittsbdrg Thanksgiv-
ing Day and tackle the East End Gyms in a
football game The Washington and Jeffer-
son players give no definite reason for
so abruptly disappointing the Gyms, and il
might have been that the Gyms would
have an enforced idleness on the holiday
named.
But Prof Kirchner started to hustle as
soon as he received the news from Wash
ington, and as result Mr. S. c Shortlidge
has agreed to bring his Media team here
Thursday. His team will play the Gyms at
Liberty Park, East End, and undoubtedly
the contest will be much more interesting
than would be game between the Gyms
and the Washington and Jefferson team.
Shortlidge's team have so far this season
done well, and they wound up their
college contests by defeating the Delaware
College clever Mr.. Shortlidee requires
5000 to bring his team here and the Gyms
are pluclkv enough TO pay it.

such as Mr.. Shortlidge has will be of great
interest and Importance to local patrons of
football, as it will give us an idea of how

teams. So far the Gyms have defeated all
teams with whom they have come in con-
test, but in the Media players they will
tackle a lot vastly superior to any they
have vet met While it may not be safe to
say that the local team will win, it may
safely be said that thev will make matters
quite warm for the visitors
The following players will represent the
GYMS in the contest: Center, Cuthberton;

MAY ENGAGE MUTRIE.
The New York Club May Secure Him as
an Advertising Agent.

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-[Special lit will
be good news to the great army of baseball
enthusiasts in this city to learn that there is
a strong possibility of the New York club
retaining the services of ex-Manager James
Mutrie. The management of the club fully
appreciate the genial ''Jeems' ability as
an advertiser and boomer of the game, and
have made him an offer to accept the posi-
tion of advertising agent.
The New York club last season drew more
people both at home and abroad than anv
other club in the country, and not little of
this success was due to Mr. Mutrie's we'll
known hustling qualities. When the Giants
and Mutrie arrived in a city everyone knew
it. James always made things hum. He is
just as popular with the newspaper men of
other cities as here and would make m odel
advance agent. 1t will be very popular
innovation on the part of the New York
club management and one no doubt which
will be followed by other League clubs.

The Graves Poisoning Case.

DENVER, Nov. 23.-The argument on the
application Of Dr. Thatcher Graves. charged
with poisoning Mrs. Josephine Barnaby, of
Providence, was heard by Judge Rising to-
day. The grounds upon which the defense
asks continuance is that the State has in
the past few days brought into the case
number of new witnesses, of which no notice
had been given them within. the time re-
quired by law. Judge Rising reserved his
decision until tomorrow.

CHICAGO Nov 23.-Reports of extensive
opium smuggling and the establishment Of
Illicit distilleries along the Dakota and
Minnesota border, with continued and num-
erous violations of the Chinese Exclusion
Act, have caused the Treasury Department
to take more decided measures against these
illegal practices.
Heretofore Chicago has been the head
quarters from which the operations of
special agents in that region have been di-
rected. The Department has decided on a
change, however. The headquarters of
operations along the Northwestern border
hove been shifted to st. Paul, and Special
Agent ]. j. Crowley, who has had much ex-
perience in that class of work, has been
placed in charge of the territory covering
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana and
Idaho. Mr.. Crowley will assume his new
duties December next.
