THEY ARE HERE.
The Reliance Boys VIII Remain Indoors
TIL To- Morrow.


Contrary to the general expectation
the Reliance football team arrived In
Butte last night over the Northern Pa
cific direct from Tacoma. 1t was an
nounced that the Californians would
not come in until a few hours before
the game tomorrow afternoon, ana
their unexpected arrival last night oc-
casioned considerable surprise. Their
manager telegraphed Manager Stivers
last evening that they would arrive on
the late train and they were met at the
depot and escorted to the Butte hotel,
where quite a number OF football en-
thusiasts were waiting for them. If
appearances count for anything the
Butte giants will have to play hard
football tomorrow to maintain their
supremacy. The Reliance men are
fine looking lot of young fellows and
they are in perfect condition. Three or
four of them are bigger and heavier
than any of the Butte men, but the
two teams will probably average up
about the same weight. Their mana
ger, w. b. Pringle, stated last night to
a Standard reporter that the average
weight, stripped. of their rush line, is
173 pounds. The average weight of
their team, he said, is 16S pounds. The
| average weight of the Butte team is
| given at 172 pounds.
| 1T wanted to get here Wednesday.
| just before the game, said Mr., Pringle.
'sbut when 1 found that we could not
arrange 1T, 1 decided to get here Mon
day and have days rest. We will
keep indoors, however, out of the
| smoke. Our men are all in first-class
condition barring a few colds and that
| tired feeling resulting from our long
ride" Mr.. Pringle added that he had
heard all along the line that the Butte
men are lot of sluggers, but the Butte
men have heard exactly the same thing
about the Reliance team, so that hon
ors are even in that respect.
Pop Warner, the big bootsy dub Of
football player who played here with
the Iowa Agricultural college eleven
and played the baby act in order to
save the bets he had made that the
Iowans would win IL the game was
played out, wrote Mr.. Pringle from the
University of Georgia, where he is
coaching a team that does not know
him, that the Butte team was made
up e of blacksmiths and miners
/ who could do nothing but
slug. He said the Buttes stole the
game from Iowa and unfolded a most
pitiful tale of woe. He offered to go
ito Oakland and coach the Reliance
team for their game with Butte II they
would pay his expenses. but unfortu-
nately his offer was not accepted. Had
IL been there would not be so much
doubt as to the result of the contest
tomorrow. Whenever Mr.. Warner re-
| turns ito Butte he will be both warmly
welcomed and warmly treated. The
Reliance team PLAYED three games on
the coast which resulted as follows:
At Portland, 0; Reliance. 40. At Seat
tie. O; Reliance. 28. At Tacoma, o;
| Reliance. 26. The attendance at Port
hand was nearly a thousand. The gate
receipts at Tacoma were s20i and at
Seattle 1892.
The team will probably go from here
TO Salt Lake and play there next Sun
day. The following is a. list OF the Re-
lance players: w. B. Pringle, mana
ger; James j. Racine. ]. f. Frick, ]. b
