YA1E's MAKEUP UNCERTAIN.
Cripples May Lose McBride's Ser
Vices on Saturday.

New Haven, Nov. 17.-When the YalG
football coachers separated this evening.
they said that the makeup of the eleven
was more uncertain than it has been since
Yale met Brown month ago. McBiide
was not able to leave his room today,
and il is feared that he will not be able to
play on Saturday. Ii is believed thar
with McBrides inability to play mex Sat
urday his chances for the captaincy have
also vanished. Corwin was i'll. and did
not appear at practice today. He may
be able to play Saturday or his fever may
be declared typhoid by that time.
This afternoon there was no lineup. thu
second eleven not playing at al. Half an
hour was given to signal rehearsal. Dur
ston was played at tackle. and all the
candidates for half-back were behind the
line a while. 1t looks as though Dudley
and Townsend would play half-back Sat
urday. There will be no lineup tomor-
row, although the eleven will spend an
hour at the Yale field in secret practice
Every incoming train today brought
throngs TO the scene of the contest on
Saturday. The visitors have long since
reached the limit of hotel accommoda-
tions, and are now deluging the private
boarding houses. Several large wads OF
Harvard money arrived here this after
noon. The bearers asked odds of ) to 4,

BICYCLE BUILDERS DISSOLVE.
Startling Move of National Board of
Trade of Cycle Manufacturers

New York, Nov. IA radical and start
ling step was taken today by the Ma
tional Board of Trade of Cycle Manufac-
turers. Within thirty minutes a majori-
ty of the stockholders me;, and, with
pra ctically no discussion, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
That, In the opinion of the stockhold-
ers of the National Board of Trade of
Cycle Manufacturers it is desirable that
such corporation should De dissolved"
The meeting began at II O'Clock in the
morning. and at n:30 the members had
dispersed. There were twenty stockhold-
ers present, half of whom Were directors
The total amount of stock is $50 shares,
and of this, 1852 shares We're represented
by the twenty men present
There is at present $4,000 in the boards
treasury. The annual income from men,
bership dues is about $4,000. The yearly
running expenses is in the neighborhood
of $1,000. Since the board discontinued
holding cycle shows, the dues have been
practically the only source of revenue. 1t
is apparent. therefore, that without heavy
retrenchments the organization could not
undertake to continue for another year.
whereas at this time 1t could dissolve and
close the affairs with clean skirts
Having repudiated shows, which were
the chief source of income in former
years. the directors refused to resume
them, and dissolution was the only al
Tentative. The board was organized in
1884, and many millions of dollars of in
vested capital in cycle manufacture and
kindred industries were represented.

lor's performances were mot so much
and that in a short time he would re-
duce the mile record to 1870 This nettled
Taylor and the following def was the
result:
az have noticed a statement from E. A.
McDuffie in several papers in which he
says that he does not consider my work
in Philadelphia anything remarkable. He
says that he has a trained crew of pace
makers capable OF lowering my record at
any time. If such is the case and Nc
Duffie thinks this way, will give to him
chance to prove it,. will bet sl.oco on
the contest, which may be a best two
in three with unlimited pace. the pace
makers to go all the way, or 1t may be
a contest against time. i have seen u
report that McDuffie is riding chainless
wheel also, and if so / would prefer that
he use 1t in his contest against me, al
though l will not bar him from using a
chain Wheel
