FOOT BALLERS MISS TRAIN.
The Wilmington High School Foot

Crowd in Philadelphia.

Special Dispatch to The sun.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE Central
Manual Training Schools football team
were greatly disappointed today on hear
ing that the Wilmington High School
missed train and couldn't get here in
time to play them their match game on
the gridiron.
The grounds at Forty-fourth and Elm
streets were crowded with pretty girls
and the school rooters. The eleven was
gong through signal practice, when a
messenger walked on the field and call
ing Captain Tyler aside handed him a
message. The captain opened the en-.
velope and read the following message:
missed the train and won't be up"
The disappointed lad told the men what
he had read and they all walked off the
field in disgust. The spectators were re-
funded the money they had paid for adj
mission.
The high school is dismissed at 2.30
p. m., and why with three-quarters Of
an hour to catch a train, they missed it,
is hard to see. There is something
wrong.

DIAMOND DUST.

Gas klopf has been member of two
championship teams this year. Before
going to Kansas City he played with the
Richmonds, who won the pennant in the
Atlantic League.
Three of Reformer B"ush's players
have been put out of the game this sea-
son--Peitz, Vaughn and Hill, the latter
twice. This gives the club rebate of
Sl0J in salaries.
Cunningham's victory of ten straight
victories is the pitching record of the
season. Nichols pitched nine straight,
then tie, and followed that up with
seven more victories.
Ed Hanon saws that catcher Hayden,
bought by him, was the only player up
to National League speed he saw in the
Atlantic League. President Barrows
doubtless will take exception to such a
sweeping statement.
Manager Tom Burns justly claims that
the Chicago club has lost at least five
games through players Dahlen, Mertes
and Everitt kicking at the umpires.
These games would come in mighty
handy at this stage of the race.
! The Pittsburg club has purchased
pitcher Guese and outfielder Rickert
from New Castle, and pitcher Sparks
from Richmond. Pittsburg has also re-
called first baseman CANCEL from De-
troit paying the $500 agreed upon.
The Bostons are reported as having
gotten bunting down so fine now that
they even excel those past masters in the
art, the Orioles. Tenney is said to have
become wonder at it.
Nearly all the League players are root
ing for the Orioles to beat out Boston
merely because there is $4,000 for the
Orioles and not cent for the Beaneaters
in sight for pennant. winning.
The Pittsburg Press says Brush's re-
form rule, Rrush's long season and
Brush's two base ball clubs-Cincinnati
and Indianapolis had rough sled
ding. Evidently this is not Brush
year.
Connie Mack proposes to stick to the
Western League. He draws fat salary
from the Milwaukee Club, participates in
the dividends earned, and in addition is
exclusively his own boss.
Kid Nichols has pitched more games
than any other twirler in the League,
and has won more than any other man,
yet he will not lead in the percentage of
victories, Maui having that honor.
Jack Stivetts writes that he intends to
resume coal mining this winter. Jack
must be joking; coal mining is hard and
dangerous work for anyone, to say
nothing Of a long-pampered ball player.
Manager selee will sign Charles Kuhns.

Joined the Boston team before this.
The Western League reserve list does

indianapolis, which shows conclusively
that they are Cincinnati farmers.
\ The Piusburg Club has scooped in the
Woonsocket French semi-professional
first baseman, Lapine, so strongly touted
by Lajoie and others as the heaviest bats
man in Rhode Island, and coming
player.
President Young says the reason Mr.
Lynch has not umpired more games in
Cincinnati is because he does not umpire
Sunday games. Why should Lynch be
exempted from work that other umpires
must do?

lowing report on the Third street bridge
difficulty:
The committee on Wilmington bridges

P. F. Causey OF the United States Engi-
neer's office against the tenders of Third

they had investigated the matter with
this result:
"On September Goth launch contain
ing Gen. Smith and others signalled to
have the draw of bridge opened and
were detained II minutes before being
accommodated or notified, as required by
the regulations OF the War Department
that they could not pass. The complaint
was not so much as to the detention as it
was to the fact that the regulations of
the War Department. prescribing the
manner Of notifying captains Of vessels
as to the condition ,of the bridge, have
been set aside and ignored.

was shown that at the time the vessel
containing the complainant applied tor

"Your committee, accompanied by

"Your committee recommends, in
view of the claims of vessel owners as
