FOR FOOTBALL MEN
Columbia Candidates Wear Pneu-
matte Caps.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Curious look
ing headgear was worn by several foot
ball candidates on South Field yester-
day. According to the new football rules
sole leather head protectors are pro-
hibited, so that a pneumatic headgear
has been devised. 1t is black In color
and nearly twice as high as the old
leather affairs. Inside IL Is fitted as
closely to the head as a skull cap. and
outside of this cap the pneumatic por-
ton is built.
-Four Columbia elevens were at work.
The number OF candidates increases
slightly every day, but the total num-
Der has not yet reached fifty Among the
new men who reported were West, OF
the gymnastic team. and Trubenbach. OF
the swimming and water polo teams.
Beale. who played end on one of the
Southern college teams two years ago
was given a trial at that position on
the varsity. He acquitted himself credit
ably.
In the practice game the varsity was
opposed alternately by the first and Sec
score Then the two scrub teams were
lined against each other. The new style
of play calling for a pass direct from
the center TO the halfback or fullback
caused much fumbling.
Slocovitch. the big end rush of the
1899 varsity; Dave smythe and Arthur
Wolff, last years end. watched practice
from the side lines.

Is Expressed in City of Culture
Over the Result.

BOSTON. Sept 25.-Throughout the

over the calling off Of the Pittsburg-
Bosom American series. With everything
apparently arranged and with thousands
of dollars already wagered and more 10

American League in this city a severe
setback.
Owner Henry Killilea. of the Boston
Club, is being bitterly criticised by the
players and the fans.
Wants Half the Receipts
Killilea wanted half the receipts for
the club, the players to get the other
half. The players wanted KilIilea tc

as Il he were one of them.
Business Manager Smart says hat
President Killilea met the boys while
they were in the West and offered tC

HUGH DUFFY WILL
MANAGE THE QUAKERS
Announcement of His Sc
lection Made by Potter.
NEW MAN ABLE TACTlCiAN
Chief Zimmer's Career Ends at Expira-
ton of His Present Contract
With Philadelphia.
NEW MAN ABLE TACTIClAN

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-Hugh Duffy will
manage the Phillies in 1904. Announce
ment to this effect has been made by
President Potter The hustling baseball
general who handled Milwaukee this
season will at once take steps TO secure
the Quakers some good men for next
year. Chief Zimmer's contract covered
only one year. He will probable be re-
leased.
In Duffy the Phillies get an exception
ally able manager. He has had an ex-
perienee covering many years. and has
ranked high not only as a player but as
tactician.
Duffy's major league experience began
in Chicago. He learned his baseball I'M
der Arson and played with the famous
player manager when the latter was In
the height of his successes Later he
went to Boston and was a member of
the great team that included Long. Ham
ilton, Lowe. Tenney. Nash. Stivetts. Nc
Carthy and many other stars. In the
American League he played for a time
in Milwaukee and last year and this sea-
son has had the Milwaukee team in the
American Association. The club has fin
ishcd third in the race and has been
| financially successful.
| In dropping thinner the owners OF the
Phillies defer to the general feeling
that the Chief" who took the Quakers
on the recommendation OF Barney Drey-
fuss, is not getting the best possible
work out of his material At the same
time It must be said for thinner that he
took the club last year after all the
best men had been signed by other clubs
Duffy will have a much better chance &c
give the Quaker City a winning team.

Those on the gridiron for whom Wash

The bright particular star Of the day
with the bat was Bradley. who bagged
five hits off the slatless wonder. out Of

joie ran him a close second by banging
Orth's delivery to the outheld for a
triple. a double and a single In five
times at bat. While these players car

Exhibition of Comedy.
After reaching frst base on a felder's
choice in the third inning. Ryan's
charley-horse leg gave way. and Robin
son was taken off the bench to play In
his place. That he was put in the game
was lucky for the fans. For without the
exhibition OF comedy furnished by the
diminutive one. the batting-bee would
have been unbearable.
For the first two innings, in which
Robbie played he made beautiful stops
OF difficult ground balls which elected
much applause from the spectators.
After that the rabbit" met with a re-
versaI of form and managed to misjudge
three long flies. In fact, his slow work
was responsible for two of Bradley S
doubles.
Poor Base Running
Poor work on the bases was respon-
sible for Washington's small score. The
Solons connected with DOnahues de-
livery for twelve hits, most of them
punched. and had only four men left
on the bases. Still they scored only two
runs.
For five innings II looked as though
the Senators had a chance, but Cleve-
lands fusillade OF base hits in the sixth
put them out Of the running. The Blues
hit Orth safely four times and chased
a quartet OF runs across the plate. -Four
bingles in the seventh inning Melted
them three more runs. and three more
tallies IN the eighth brought their total
up to twelve
! Bill Coughlin did the best batting for
the locals. bagging three hits out of four
times at the bat.

COLUMBUS WON'T CURTAIL.
Mills There Expect to Continue Full
Production.

Columbus, Ca, Dec. SIN all prob
ability the Columbus cotton mills, OPP
Grating 156,50O spindles, will not enter
into the proposed agreement of Ameri-
can mills to curtail the production of
cotton cloths.
F. B. Gordon, president of the local
association OF cotton manufacturers,
gave it as his opinion tonight that
no curtailment would be had here and
that the mills would run as usual. The
Columbus factories are fairly well
stocked with cotton, being enabled to
keep well supplied on account of the
fact that the mills at present manu-
facture into cloth only one-third of
the city's receipts of cotton. One or
two of the mills have already bought
nearly enough cotton to last them until
next September. From the present out
look there will hardly be any stoppage
of the mills here next spring or sum-
mer.
The mills are keeping the local ware
house stocks fairly well reduced, ard
later in the winter will probably buy
the entire stocks. One mill bought $50
bales of cotton to-day at II cents.

ROOSEVELT AND HANNA
DIFFER AS TO WOOD.
Hanna Says There Is No Misundcr-
standing Between Them.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Senator Han
mas conference with the President last
night aroused the keenest interest
among senators and representatives in
Congress and among politicians gen.
orally.
At last nights conference only in
cidental reference was made to mat
ters of concern to the Republican Ma
tional Committee. AS to Perry S.
Heath's connection with the National
Committee as secretary. it is under
stood the President does not care to
assume a position. Mr.. Heath is an
officer of the committee, and the
President thinks the committee amply
justified to take care of it's own affairs
without suggestion from him. 1t is
understood definitely that Mr.. Heath,
in any event, will not be a candidate
again for secretary of the committee.
Senator Hanna authorized the Asso-
ciated Press to-day to state that the
President and himself discussed a
number of things legislative and polit-
ical. While they differ on the subject
of the confirmation of Gen. Wood, there
is no misunderstanding between them
and nothing indicating a break in their
relations, such as has been reported"

COTTON MILL MEN
TO MEET AT CHARLOTTE
1t Is Expected That the Attendance
Will BE Large.

Charlotte. N. c., Dec. 5.-The indica-
tions are that Tuesdays meeting of
the cotton men to consider the advis-
ability of curtailing production will be
largely attended, the rise in price of
cotton during the past few days prob
larger than it would have been other
wise. In addition to mill men from
all over the South, it is expected that
manufacturers and commission men
from the North and East will be pres
ent
The movement looking to a curtail-
ing of the production of the Southern
mills is being watched with a great
deal of interest by New England man
ufacturers, and it is expected that any
agreement for curtailing that may be
entered into at the meeting here next
Tuesday will include quite a number
of Northern manufacturers.
1t is expected that the cloth mills
will be more largely represented than
the yarn mills, since the latter, as a
rule, it is said, are in better condition
than the former.
II Is estimated That ABOUT ~ per
cent. of the Southern mills have a
sufficient amount of cotton bought to
run them until next summer, and it
is not expected that any of these mills
will agree to curtail production.
Neither are the mills which have con-
tracts to fill in a position to curtail or
shut down.
A gentleman connected with one of
the largest cloth mills in the South
Said to-day:
THE situation is critical, view it any
way you may. Taken as a whole. l
believe the condition confronting us
to-day is the worst in twenty-five years.
The only remedy 1 see is a general cur
tailment, the chief benefit from that be
ing that the mills could run a smaller
loss What makes it worse for the South
is that the mills in every other part
of the cotton manufacturing world are
better off, so far as supplies of raw
material are concerned, than we are.
Early in the season when we were hold
ing off for lower prices, the continental
spinners came into the market and puT-
chased their cotton and to-day no mat
ter where the price of cloth may go,
they can manufacture cotton at a cost
of from &c to &c pound less than we
can. Inasmuch as not more than a
third of the American cotton crop is
consumed in this country, we are In
no position whatever to control the
market, especially on export goods. AS
l see it, the only hope for us now is
to curtail the production and run our
plants at a reduced cost"
