NO RACE ARRANGED,
Zimmerman and Sanger Not Likely to Have
a Big Contest.

Zimmerman and Sanger Not Likely to Have
a Big Contest.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-[Specidl. 1.-The an
nouncement that a series of match races
have been arranged between Arthur A. Zim-
norman. of the New York Athletic Club,
and W. c. Sanger, a Milwaukee racer, for q
s. 1000 prize created considerable surprise
among Eastern wheelmen. The match was
suggested in Chicago on Saturday, and the
entire one-sidedness of the affair rather in
dicates that the men will never meet in a
match contest.
Zimmerman, while not now in training is
a faster rider than Sanger, and with six
weeks preparatory work it is openly con-
ceded that he can easily defeat the Milwau.
kee racer. Some Philadelphia men have a
scheme under way to take party of racing
men on a racing tour through the South th lis
fall, Offering special care and other induce
ments, and it is the general impression that,
as Zimmerman is to go on the trip, this
match race has been arranged merely for
advertising purposes.
The proposition OF Zimmerman's friends
to have the races held in, the South would
include the matches upon the Philadelphia
syndicate circuit, and consequently be q
big drawing card.

THE WEATHER.

The storm which was central cast OF the
Florida coast this morning is apparently
moving northeastward, following the course
of the Gulf stream to-night's reports show
ing strong northerly gales on the North
Carolina coast. Tho barometer has fallen
slowly on the Middle Atlantic coast, ana
more decidedly in the Northwest. The area
of high pressure covers the entire country
west OF the Atlantic coast, the barometer
being highest over the Rocky Mountain
districts.
Fair weather has prevailed, except on the
South Atlantic coast and in the Lake regions,
where showers are reported. 1t is decidedly
colder in the Southern States east OF the
Mississippi, and slightly warmer IN Texas
and the Dakotas. Cool northerly winds con-
tinue in all districts east of the Rocky
mountains. Fair weather will continue
throughout the Central valleys, the Southern
States and the Northwest during WedDes-
day, and probably Thursday, with slowly
rising temperature in the Southern States.
The storm which is now off the North
Carolina coast will probably move north
eastward. causing dangerous gales in the
line of Atlantic steamers Wednesday and
Thursday.

rerFCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.1

tsrEC1AL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, Oct 25-Baseball magnates
are now looking forward with some i'm
patience to the meeting of the National
League which is to be held in Chicago on
November 16. 1t has been predicted that
this will be the most lively convention in
the history of the game, and it is believed
that it will be over the attempt to split the
12-club league. A great many observers of
baseball would not be surprised If there
should be a reorganization, and an eight
club League and an eight-club American
Association start the season of 1898.
The 12-club league is certainly unpopular,
and there is very little chance of the four
old Association clubs to make any money
next season. This their owners appreciate,
and they do not propose to commit financial
suicide by continuing season so disastrous
as this one has been. On Saturday. repre-
sentatives of the New York, Brooklyn,
Boston and Cleveland clubs had an informal
conference at Boston, and this it is said
indicates that a change of some sort is
coming.
This latter statement will, of course, be
denied by the magnates and their "officlal
organ" but the fact remains that there is
serious disagreement in the camp. The
news first published in Pittsburg that the
magnates had agreed on something like
uniform rate of salaries is quite true, al
though the Hopping League organ may de-
deny 1t. True, there no resolution
passed on the subject or minute made of it.
but it was taeitly agreed by the majority TO
act as already stated.
That the magnetes are troubled is quite
true. A New York club official said to-
day: "Most of us know what should be
done. The 12-club league and double
championship plan should be abolished,
but there are strong influences at work to |
keep it going. The longer it exists the |
worse it will be for baseball Good paying |
cities like Pittsburg should take bold |
stand and decline to have anything what |
ever to do with a 12-club league, and if |
this were done the great big failure would |
vanish at once"

THE HARVARD TEAM.

Some Interesting Gossip About the Players
and Their Prospects Against Yale.
CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 25-ISoeciaL l-Only four
weeks remain now before the Harvard Yale
football game at Springfield, and Harvard
men are beginning to get anxious. So many
men have been hurt, and SO many men have
been tried in different positions that but lit
tie practice in team play has been had, and,
as usual, Harvard is wofully deficient in this
respect. Once in while the men will brace
up and show what they can do, but there is
no continuous good playing as far as
team work is concerned, and too MANY
fiukes occur at critical moments to give any
Der l9, 1892.
The one great cause for hope is the fact
that Captain TraHord knows just how much
work should be done, and is going to have
it done if he can. Trafford and all the coach
ers know that individually Harvard has, by
all means, better team at present than
Yale: but they also know that this was the
case last year, yet Harvard was defeated
1t is well recognized now that one man, be
he ever so good. cannot get by II men, even
though they are not SO proficient. Yet Har-
ward has not learned even now ALWAYS to
bear this truth in mind. In some of their
plays around the end on Saturday. however,
signs or Improvement were shown. Waters
as the head of the interference was very
good. But this is only one play, and one
play will not win Yale game.
Often of late years it has been impossible
TO tell who were to play at Springfield until
the very day Of the game. Men have been
shuffed all round, numbers tried and dis.
carded and general uncertainty has pre.
vailed. So far this year matters have
seemed to be going the same old way. But
this has been only the necessary preliminary
TO finding the best men. Now the matter
has been decided pretty definitely. Quarter
back is about the only doubtful place. The
same men will probably play all the time
In the same places for the next four weeks,
and it will be possible to devote the time to
team play.
Mackie will play center, with Waters and
Acton beside him. Newell will be right
tackle, Hallowell right end and Foster prob
ably left end. Trafford will play full back.
The other positions have not been definitely
filed yet.
