MORE PRACTICE WANTED.

The Local Association Football Team Must
Do More Preparatory Work.
meeting of the Executive Committee Of
the Pittsburg Association Football Club
was held last evening at Tann's hotel. Be-
sides other matters, the coming game be-
tween the local team and the Chicagos was
discussed. The game is to take place on
Christmas holiday, and is sure to be an ex-
citing one.
Last evening the committee resolved to
have the local team practice more than
they have been doiug. So far this season
the players as a team have practiced very
little, indeed. That was the cause of their
bad defeat bv the Canadians. II the players
viii not practice for their game with the
ChicaRos it is likely that other players will
besput in their places. Now that the Asso-
citation League has collapsed there are nu-
merous good men in and about Pittsburg
who can ably fill up any vacancies made on
the team.
If the weather is favorable on the Christ
mas holiday the attendance at the game is
sure to be large. The teams are well
matched, and last year they played a tie un-
der the most exciting circumstances. Presi-
dent Tam states that he means to have
good team co face the Windy City fellows,
and he is likely to carry out his intention.

Elect Officers Tuesday.

The Stockholders of the Local Club Will
Elect Officers Tuesday.
On Tuesday next the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the local club will be
held and the election of officers will take
place. As at present intended Mr.. Bucken-
berger will be elected President: Mr.. W. W.
Kerr, Vice-President; Mr.. L. Brown, Treas
urer and AL Scrandrett, Secretary.
Mr.. Buczenberger is being urged by the
leading stockholders of the club and in de-
ference to their strong solicitations he may
accept the position. 1t will place on his
shoulders great responsibility, but in order
to do what others think best for the club, he
is willing to bear the burden. He il quite,
able to fulfil the duties of the office and no
man is more faithful and energetic Mag
mates of other clubs will probably not like
it as in virtue of his Office he will have to at
tend all League meetings. But these
magnates will just have to put up with it.
Under any circumstances these nagnates
have little or no sympathy for Pittsburg
although they enrich their treasures here.
II any reasonable objection could be urged
against the appearance of a President-Man-
aGer in League meeting there might be
some excuse for the opposition to Mr.. Buck
enberger's presence, but there is none.

DOWN TO BUSINESS.
The Three AS Meet and Resolve to
Lease a Club House at Once.
THREE SUITABLE BUILDINGS.
Several Interesting Football Games by
Local Junior Teams
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAT

An important meeting was held last even
ing by the Executive Committee of the AL
legheny Athletic Association at the Hotel
Schlosser. The chief business of the meet
ing was to consider a proposition to rent q
building as club house.
A few days ago an offer was made to
lease the building at the corner of Decatur
and Liberty streets, just at the foot of Fifth
avenue A verbal agreement was come to
between the proprietors and the repre-
sentative of the Association for the latter
to lease the building at q rental of $1,000
per year. Yesterday the proprietors in
creased this figure to $1,000, and the meet
ing last evening was to take action on the
matter.
At the meeting two more offers were sub
mitted. One was as good as that Liberty
street property and the other better. After
considerable discussion it was resolved to
adjourn the meeting and confer again with
the proprietors of the respective proper
ties so as to find out what the very best
terms are that can be made
After the meeting member of the Com
mittee said: "We are straight for club
house this time, as we are sure to lease one
of the. buildings offered. The one on Lib
erty street is suitable in all respects. 1t
has three floors and considerable room on
each. We could have billiard rooms,
dining rooms, cafe. smoking rooms, etc,
and an extensive gymnasium in it And
we can have the same in either of the other
buildings Bnt we don't want to pay an
unreasonable rent for any of them"
The Association is getting along in first
class style and its membership is increasing
rapidly every month. 1t is expected that
as soon as a clubhouse is leased, which will
likely be this week, there will be MEM
bership of 700. At the meeting it was re-
solved to secure the building that could be
had at the best terms

HARvARD's FOOTBALL TEAM.
Talk About Their Captain and Their
Coachers for Next Season.


Coachers for Next Season.
BOSTON,, Dec. 3-[SpecidL There is al
ready much talk as to who will captain the
Harvard football team next year. The men
who seem at present to have the greatest
chance are Tratord. 80, who may be in the
law sbool next year; Lake, '92, who may also
be in the law school; Emmons, '95, and
Newell %
Whoever becomes captain, the policy of
next years team will differ little from that
of this years, with the possible exception
that team work may be got at a week or two
earlier. In the face of all criticism, Har-
wards coachers paid, their attention to indi-
vidual work until they were satisfied that
the team was ready for team work, and the
result was a good one. II this state of ripe
ness can be reached two weeks earlier next
year, Harvard may hope for great things.
She has made great find in Mr.. Deland.
Next year his theories will be fully tested,
and If they are as practicable as they
promise to be, Harvard will have opened q
new era in the Amer1can-RuEby game
The coachers for the new eleven will un-
doubtedly remain the same-Messfs. Sears,
Cumnock. Perry, Trafford, Cranston and
Crosby. One change of rules which Harvard
will advocate will be the creating of a Sec
ond umpire. The two ump1res would have
their positions on opposite sides of tine
teams and when they disagree the question
would be taken to the referee. This would
greatly reduce the chances of such a mis-
take as undoubtedly robbed Harvard of a
touchdown in the last Springfield game.

am well pleased with the treatment re-
cefved at the hands of Drs. Copeland, Hall

ing and considerable money. Their success
in my case proves the correctness of their
theory that the stomach and heart trouble
was dependent upon the catarrhal secretions
dropping down into the stomach, poisoning
and nauseating it, so that its proper func-
tions were interIered with and that the ac-
cumulation of gas pressed hard uD against
the heart and lungs causing the palpftatton
and shortness of breath which annoyed me
so much. certainly approve of and rec
ommend to all my friends and the pnblic
such cases as mine. / am satisfied they un-
derstand all these long standing obscure
cases thoroughly, and that they are curing by
their method of treatment many cases here
tofore considered incurable."
DO you feel nervous, with palpitation or
huttering of the heart and think you have
heart disease7 It is due to catarrh Of the
stomach. Consult Drs. Copeland, Hall and

ton as Mr.. AIleman did.

than suspected that Mitchell's withdrawal

this week was a clever ruse to escape serv-
ing all but a few days of his two months

under the old commitment he would have
secured his release next week On the

case next comes up that sentence must date
from the time of his surrender, but 1t is
doubtful If the contention will stand No
