OF Pennsylvania foot ball eleven in the
Brown game at Providence last Saturday
has acted like tonic on the Quakers' foot
ball squad. Coach Woodruff said: I'VE
want the herceness. and put the men
through terrific pace yesterday, and the
candidates played with a vim and dash un
equaled heretofore in practice. The Vir-
ginia and Indian games are to be played
this week. Boyle and Dickson looked after
the ends, Minds took care of the backs
and Woodruff. Hedges and Brooke looked
after the other players The varsity lined
UP against the Ursinus College team for
thirty minutes yesterday and scored 10
points in short order. Pitted against
scrub. the tackling of the varsity was
fierce and sure, but there was altogether
too much fumbling. Wallace, a candidate
for tackle, sprained an ankle.
The Yale foot ball coachers are particu-
larly well satisfied with the physical con-
diuon Of the players after the hard work
of last week. Coach Rodgers on the
field for work yesterday, assisted by Dur
ston. last years bucking halfback, and
George Adee, quarterback of the "a
eleven. Adee paid especial attention to
Fincke and De Saulles at quarter. Durston
took the halfbacks in charge with Coach
Bull and sent them into the line for gains.
Williams and Brock, the veteran oarsmen,
are aspirants for foot ball honors. Will
Jams Is trying for end and Brock is trying
for tackle and was used in the line. He
is strong, but very green at the game. The
practice this week will be but four days
in preparation for the game with Dart
mouth in Newton, Mass.
Coach Haughton, formerly of Harvard,
arrived in Ithaca yesterday. and will at
once begin coaching Cornelrs team for
this season. He will devote his attention
to the work of the eleven for the remain
der of the week to get the men in good
shape for the game with the University of
Chicago next Saturday.
The local Y. NJ. c. A men have decided
not to attempt foot ball game with the
Baltimore Medical College next Saturday
in consequence of the good play of the
Baltimore men against Gallaudet last Sat
ruday. A game has been arranged with
the Baltimore City College instead, and
the medical students will be tackled later
in the season.

Mccoy Anxious to Meet Fitz.
CAT HAD APPENDICITIS.

San Francisco Feline That Was Af-
ficted With "a Fashionable Disease.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Maltese cats are in large demand among
business houses, not only because Of Their
beauty, but because they have proved them
selves to be fine hunters. One of the hand
soonest of these is Tom. magnificent fell
low belonging to a wholesale grocer in low
er California street, or, perhaps, it would
be more correct to say that the cat owns
the establishment. He spends his nights in
useful labor and is sometimes for con-
siderable period found regularly each morn
ing with big dead rat by his side, for like
most Of the genuinely capable of his kind
he disdafns to eat his game. During the
day he has appropriated to his own use
nicely finished mail tray on the office de k.
and when the weather is cool a big nickel
lamp standing beside the tray is kept burn
ing for his especial benefit. A fit of indi-
gestfon very nearly carried him off one day
and 1t became necessary to perform surg
ical operation to save the noble fellows
life. He seemed to know that the veterina-
ry surgeons lancet was unsheathed for his
good and bore the pain like a stole and
without resistance.
Vieing with Tom in beauty and intelIi-
gence and his almost exact counterpart in
size and appearance is Joe, a splendid NAL
tese of Petaluma birth, belonging to a
wholesale boot and shoe house on the cor
ner of I'd and Stevenson street. Eyes of
amber, coat of silky blue-gray, sinewy
frame and leonine rather than tigerish
face, Joe is a magnificent specimen of cat
hood He not only answers to his name
but understands and win obey simple direc-
tions issued by his master, jumping on desk
chair at his bidding or playing with a
cord strung across the entrance In the
office rail.
An instance of cat devotion of an extraor-
binary sort is found in wholesale daily es-
tabishment on the east side of Front street
near California. Here is wee motherless
gray kitten, so small that 1t can sit COM
fortably on ones hand. In the store are
five grown cats-common cats of no pedi-
gree toms and tabbies. and this elder band
has assumed maternal care of the forlorn
little orphan. They watch it vigilantly,
seeming particularly apprehensive lest it
stray out upon the street. and whenever one
of them perceives him too near the open
doors the older fellow walks over to the
kitten, picks it up in its mouth and gravely
carries it back and deposits it in the rear Of
the store.

McGraw increased his offer to $4,000 for
Mercer after yesterdays fracas.
MERGERS stea! to the home plate in the
first game was unusually sensational and
brilliant, especially as he pulled off the
trick and sent his club to the front by
one run
Sheckard, Baltimore's right fielder, once
more put up an exhibition in the field and
at the bat that stamps him a player of
the first class. He killed off Freeman's
home run and another single by great
Sprinting and nerve
Umpire Manassau's blue blouse was torn
as a result of his wanting to get away
from Mercer so as not to listen to his pro-
tests. The latter grabbed the former by
the blouse to make him listen, and in the

ripped into threads.

is at present in the east, and it is a fore
gone conclusion that many conferences
have taken place. The first meeting in
New York Of the new association is set for
this month, and it would be a great thing
fer both organizations if an amicable
agreement could be decided upon at the
gathering.
The western scribes who picked out
President Young for hasty exit from
the National League presidency made
big mistake when they ran in Ban john
ston as his substitute. Johnston is about
the last man in the world to be given the
position at the head of the National League,
as he and President Brush Of the Cincin-
natl club have been enemies for years
President Young will remain at the head
of the National League just as long as
he wants to.
Things certainly sizzling for the Phil
lies. They yesterday downed the Cham
pions and are now squared away with them
for second place. Five games yet remain
to be played. To win the place and split
the coloners 900 bucks they must win
three of the five, four of which are to be
played in Boston. The odds are against
them. but yet, according to the dope, they
should pull them out. With the exception
of Frank Richter of the Sporting Life. who
must have been inspired, there was hardly
a well-informed crank in this city who
thought they had a chance to finish better
than fourth. Instead they have exceeded
our fondest anticipations, the press
agent would say, have cinched third place
and have a good look in for second. Good
luck to them in the Boston games at the
hub. The Inquirer would like to see them
finish second for two reasons. 1t will give
them the prize money and add to the inter-
est of their series with the Athletics next
season.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Wretched exhibition of foot ball put
up by the Tigers in the Annapolis game
Saturday was repeated on Princetons field
yesterday. Two fiftcen-minute halves were
played and the scrub excelled its oppo-
nents throughout Palmer joined the var
sity squad for the first time this season,
but his work at left end was far from
brilliant. In the first half the scrubs kept
the ball safe distance from their goal
line, and in the second half the play was
most of the time in the 'varsity's terri
tory. Levick and Kafer did fair work at
well supported. Hodgman showed up in
great form on the scrub, encircling the
end for big gains and kicking well. Kelly
McCord and Morse held their own in the
practice and may yet surprise the more
promising candidates. The coaches have
decided that the teams chief weakness lies
in offensive play, and that they will drill
the players this week more particularly
in this feature. Todays efforts will be put
forth to have the team in readiness to
