In regard to the plans of the City Amateur league by which seven teams will i'll all probability compose the league, three games being played each Sunday, one at the Rye lots, another at Oakville and the third at Water vile, there appears to be q little dis satisfaction among those who delight i'll seeing. the amateur games. They prefer the arrangements of last year, by which two games were played each Sunday. It enhances the interest to have two games played instead of one. and q person may spend the afternoon i'll viewing the games. But there are several reasons, and strong ones, too, why two games should not be played. When two games are being played, the first one has to stop at 4 o'clock. whether or 6 or ', or whatever in nings have been played. At times this is rather disadvantageous, inas- much as very often games are won in the last inning or two. Again, it is after I o'clock when the second game commences. Consequently at times it is very dark when the last innings are being playe But. as said before. it would be much more interesting if two games were played.

 The New Works played their first game of the season at the Polo grounds yesterday and were beaten by the Yale university team, the collegians pulling out a victory in the ninth in- ming by hammering Pitcher Matthew son for four runs About 250 specta- tors were present The New Works lost many chances to score because of stupid base running Tn the seventh Inning. for instance, they made four safe hits. one of them a two-bagger, yet were unable to score. In this in- ming both Strang and Hickman were caught asleep off their bases. While the leaguers made fourteen hits, they were scattered. there being little team play at the bat. Fisher. Taylor and 3Iatthewson pitched three innings each. Taylor doing the best work. The new men, Buelow, Strang and Ganzell. played we'll Al Sharpe. famous as a foot ball and basket ball player, pitched for Yale. He was very steady under fire. especially in the last half of the ninth when. with a run needed to tie the score. Selbach. Strang and Hickman went out in rapid order. The Yale shortstoD. a good player. is a son of James H. O'Rourke. who played left field for the New Yorks when they won the pennant in 1888 and 1sS9 With the score A. to1 against them when the ninth inning began. the Yale men opened on Afattbewson in lively fashion. Cook singled to center and when Van Haltren threw the ball back to the infeld Cook sprinted to second in safety. Sba~',n doubled to left and Cook scored. O'Rourke brought in Sharpe with another safe drive over Strane's head. Waddell singled and Hfrsh sacrificed. The New York in- field came in close and Robertson HDlacedv a pretty base hit in short right which landed bots O'Rourke and Waddell home, with Yale one ahead. A double play ended the college boys rally and then the New Yorks were blaDked. The score:

GILLIGAN AFTER KELLY.

The lightweight Wrestler of Law
 renee Willing to Defend Title.
 The sporting editor of the Democrat was the recipient of challenge from James Gilligan of Lawrence to-day, and he throws down the gauntlet to John B. Kelly of this city. He says that Kelly claims the lightweighu championship, but Gilligan claims that he is the champion in this class and has never been defeated. He says that he will wrestle Kelly or any one else for the lightweight championship of New England and that he will make arrangements at any time.
 Says the Brockton Times. X Boston paper stated this morning: "With the present boom in wrestling in Bos- ton all the crack wrestlers of the country are turning their eyes, and many of them their footsteps, towards this city. Now we have new arriv- a1 in the person of Bobby Reakes. the famous lightweight catch-as-catch-ca wrestler, whose visit here is to secure the scalp of the little demon, Harvey Parker. or that of any other wrestler who disputes his superiority. Reakas is an athlete whose fame extends from Maine. to the Pacific coast, and he has demonstrated his ability by f1attening wrestlers or all weights 10 the nIs
 He Is about 40 pounds. He has come to meet Harvey Parker for the third time. A little over three years ago Reakes beat Parker in Lawrence, and q short time afterwards they met again in Dunkirk. N. Y There, they struggled for four hours without either of them being able to secure "a fall. Since then Parker has improved. at least apparently so, and has had a wonderful lot of success. On Monday night sReakes reached Boston. He said he was going to Parker's own town. Brockton, toS issue n challenge. and if Parker would make .a5 match without conditions and nothing barred lle would back himself to the extent of s250." It is not long since IseaIses issued a challenge to meet any I4O- hound man in New Elgland and was Isinyited 10 send along $5OGss a forfeit. He has not done sos but nlnv be ready | to show his money now It is not i'm 1 possible that if hn. really wants to
 wrestle little will be put against him, l thoual if he insists on Parker as an l, onnanent. he may be accommodated. 1 = Naoof iatians are now on looking for a. match between Ernest Roeber and Nouronlah. and the men are to meet in New York this evening to try and set | tie the details.
 Arrangements are now afoOt for a

 Fred Russell. the ..bir ralifornian. who meets Sharkey in a ten-round ro at Denver on Anrs, 2G may astonish the Sailor. Russell'sg most notable performances were a knockout of Jack Mccormick in one round and a scranl- bling fight witt, ChoynslSi in which the later is said to have had much the worst of the argument, being chased merrily around the ring Tor several rounds and finally knocked clean throuoll the ropes. RnsselL however. lost tho decision on an alleged foul. but not before he. had proved pretty con- clusively that he was Toe'sf master. Russell may furnish the wise men with q surprise. however. Tommy Ryan is of the opinion that Sharkey is sun against it. and predicts inc down. fall of the latter inside of the fen rounds scheduled Should the .ev- Syraeusan's prophecy como true. it will mean the winding up of Sharkey's career as a fighter.

! LEXINGTON, VA, November 2.-As
the football season advances the daily
practices at Washington and Lee Uni
vcrsi:y and the Virginia Military institute
becomes more determined. On their re-
spective fields the opposing teams are
put through hard drills in the various
egoiutions of this popular sport. Each
institution has several teams, and fire.
uuently the second teams give the
regulars all they want to do to hold them
down.
The custom has obtained this season
so far at both the w. and J.. u, and "
M. l. games to charge an admission fee
to the ladies. AS a result the fair root
ers r. conspicuous by their absence. At
the r..->nt games the attendance of the
ladies has been about a baker S dozen at
each game.
The only game scheduled this season
between Washington and Lee and Viz
GINA Military Institute will take place
Monday afternoon, at least that Is the
present understanding. Considerable de-
law and trouble has been caused by the
inability of the two contending teams 10
secure What they both consider fair, inn
martial officials. The contest VIII at
tract a large crowd. Excitement runs
high. and the partisans of the opposing
clevens are sticking close to their pro-
teges.
That the game will be hotly fought,
goes without saying, because for years
there has been intense rivalry between
these two institutions on the athletic
field. Washington and Ice always defeats
Y. NJ. j. on the diamond, while the Cadets
simply walk away with the students on
the gr:diron. This year both teams are
drilled t.nd coached up to their very best.

Sewanee has lost seven of her last year $
players. and this, of course, weakens the
team a good deal: but the men who are

teams at the last moment. OF the teams
that she has met this fall perhaps the
best known are the Southwestern Presi,y-

that the Sewanee team this Thanksgfv-
