ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
New YORK, Dec 2-The eagerly awaited
report from Julius Harder, of the North
American Turner Bund, Chicago, respect
ing preiiminaries for the proposed Interna-
tional Athletic Carnival in connection with
the Worlds Fair next year, reached A. G.
Mills to-day. A. G. Spalding had long
conference with Secretary James E Sulli-
van on the subject and it was decided to
hold meeting of the Plan and Scope Com
mittee in A. G. Mills Office at 2 P. NJ to-
morrow.
As announced last Saturday, Mr.. Harder
left for Chicago to look up the best avail
able open dates for q series of international
handicap and champion tournaments be-
tween August 20 and September 80, 1893
and to enlist the sympathies and support of
the leading magnates in Western amateur
circles His communication of to-day is
said to convey very encouraging informa-
tion.
When seen by a reporter Mr.. Spalding
thought it would be rather injudicious to
talk definitely about the details of the
scheme until he can submit his views to the
meeting tomorrow. 81 have not the slight
est doubt, however," he added, ''of the
ultimate success of the enterprise, or of the
cordiallty with which nv associates in the
Chicago Athletic Club and other Western
organizations will support it when their
sympathies are once properly enlisted"
The members of the committee who have
the matter in charge are A. G. Mills, W. B.
Curtis and James E Sullivan.

WILL HAVE NEW GRoUNDs
The New York Giants Have to Leave Their
Old Quarters.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-lSpecidl 1.-The
"Giants"-that is, the New York Baseball
Club-wiIl probably have new grounds to
"play ball" on next season, and perhaps
that will bring them fuller measure of
financial luck than they have had for the
past two seasons or so. Their old field, the
Polo Grounds, mas been negotiated for by
the National Horse Show Association, which
wishes also to lease Manhattan Field as well
and turn the two into gigantic field for all
kinds of sports The directors of the New
York Baseball Club hold a lease of both
Manhattan Field and the Polo Grounds and
it has still nine years to run. The Manhat-
tan Athletic Club rents the field from the
ball people, and Just how the latter are to
induce the Manhattans to retire from the
tenancy does not appear. The Horse Show
Association, it is said, is willing to pay $75,-
900 for the two fields, which, transformed
into the single immense area as proposed,
would surely give them a sporting park that
would be uneQualcd in this region.
Tar directors of the ball club have already
inspected a new field for their games on the
line of the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad.
1t is not definitely stated just where these
grounds are, but probably they are not far
from Morris Park, as it is announced that
the railroads will be willing to transfer
passengers to the new grounds for nickel

her value. Ed Geers bought her for 81, 900

biggest price of the sale. He showed well
and is big open gated fellow The bids
went to $500, when Matt Dwyer made a raise
and he forced the bidding to s675, at which

WILL CHANGE THEIR SCHEDULE,
Yale Football Team to Have a Different
Programme Next Year,

Programme Next Year.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Dec. 2-Up at the
campus it seems to be the general opinion
that there will be a change in the football
schedule next year. In the first place, Yale
will never play so many championship
games SO near together. This year within
l3 days Yale played the University of Penn
syIvania, Harvard and Princeton. The
strain on the team was too heavy and many
think that Yale did not do herself justice in
the Thanksgiving game. Yale wants to
form triangular league with Princeton and
Harvard. To do this it will be necessary for
Harvard to take back great deal she has
said about Princeton and also for the Har.
ward faculty to make some concessions to
90 the crimson team, such as allowing it to
play outside of New England.
In a choice between Harvard and Prince
ton Yale will probably stick to RarvarT
Despite all that the New Jersey men may
say Yale maintains that Princeton, with the
exception Of her baseball and football
teams, is practically a nonentity in inter-
collegiate athletics, while Harvard keeps up
all branches. Delegates from the great
tournaments will undoubtedly meet this
winter and como to some decision in this
matter. Itlooks now as though tho smaller
colleges will have to depend more upon
themselves and that the season for cham
pionship games for the smaller colleges is a
thing OF the past.
