Yale.

NEW HAVEN, Sept. 23.-Cornellus
Daily has definitely decided to try for
the Yale examination. He Is an aspir-
ant for gridiron honors. Why he join
ed the Columbia squad and then left
the New Workers and came to Yale hi,
has not explained. Yale men are not
pleased with his actions, and Columbia
men are angry. DAILY saw Captain
Brown. OF the Yale team, to-day, but
Brown did not urge him to join the
Varsity squad.
II Daily enters Yale he will, of course,
have n chance to try for the freshman
team. but he Is mot likely TO BE- put on
the Varsity team, right of. He will
have to prove his metal first and do
good work In his studies In order to
clear up his leaving Columbia. He Is
said to be Il clever onrsman, but he is
green at foot ball. His friends are In
doubt about his ability TO pass the en-
trance examinations. They say he has
always wanted to come TO Yale, but
was afraid of the examinations, and In
n case Of fnlnt-heartcdness Joined the
Columbia squad. Afterwards he weak
cned and left Columbia. Yale has not
made the. slightest effort to get Daily
hero. and. In fact. Is bored by the whole
affair.

EVERY reason for believing that Meow

which he Is taking on weight, will be
compelled to enter the lightweight class,
leaving the championship in feather
weight class open for the boy who may
win 1t. or the most important asplr-
ants for that honor. Tim Callahan. OF
Philadelphia, Is generally conceded to
nave the best chance. He has fought
the champion three times. winning once
on foul. losing once and fighting one
draw. OF the other fcatherwcIghts, os-
car Gardner, better known as the
Omaha Kid." has been McGovern's
Toughest opponent. In fact. on the oc-
chslon OF their last meeting Gardner
came within an acc of scoring n knock
OUT. Under the circumstances. then,
the meeting between Callahan and
Gardner will be vested with more than
ordinary interest. Ono of the two should

FOOT BALL.

PHILADELPHIA.Sept. 23.-With less
than. a week before the opening Of the
foot ball season. the University o.
Pennsylvania candidates are in prom
isiRg shape. The team will include
more big men than those Of the past few
years. Horner is showing improved
form, and II he continues he will in all
likelihood be the selection for centre.
He carries his 1893 pounds easily, and
gets well down the field. The principal
source Of worry with Coach Woodruff
Is the selection Of quarterback.
Johnny Gardiner last year was as In
vulnerable as chained armor, but a lit.
tie too web-flngered for quarterback.
1.-The learns the art OF running hard and
using his interference scientifically at
the same time. he ought to make n
crackerjack half-back. Nelson Graves
has u reputation as a player little SUBJ
ject to strains and other foot ball Ills.
He holds the rail position In the present
race for quarterback, and his reputa-
ton will help him in his fight to hold 1t.
Captain Hare continues his kicking.
He is in rare form Just now, and should
he keep up his good work. he will be a
dangerous man. The quarterback kick
is likely to be used freely this year. So
far. good results are noticeable from the
practice. Big men, such as Homer.
Wallace and Teas arr becoming experts
in making these plays.

MUTU4AL SUICIDE OR MURDER.
Philadelphia Commission Merchant nnd
 Wife Found Dead.

| Philadelphia, Aug. 5.--Robert w. Sin clair, aged fifty-one years, fruit com- mission merchant in this city. and his wife, Annie D., aged thirty-two years
 were both found dead last night with a 1 bullet hole in each of their heads in the garden in front of their summer
 home at Green Tree station, on the l Pennsylvania railroad, near thia city. I Whether it was case of mutual suicide 1 or murder and suicide will probably
 never be known.
 l The couple had frequently quarreled and some time ago separated. Last ! week the wife returned to her hus- bands house, Sinclair and his wife each carried pistol Last night as the hus- band reached home and was entering the game neighbors heard him exclatm: 1 Don't shoot" and a few seconds later two shots in quick succession were heard, Several of the neighbors rushed | into the garden and in the darkness found Mrs Sinclair lying dead. Close by her head was her husbands revolver. The husband was lying few feet away, and died few minutes later without
 regaining consciousness.
 The wife's pistol, small weapon. was found about three feet from his body. The police authorities of Chester coun- ty made every effort to-day to unravel the mystery. There are three stories as to how the tragedy occurred. One that they agreed on mutual suicide; second. that both fired at the other in duel, and, third. that the wife killed the hus-
 band with her pistol, threw 1t near his
 body and then took her own life with his revolver The police are inclined to
 the belief that the last theory is the correct one.
