George Elbows" McFadden for the Second Time Post- pones His Fight-Othe Fight News.

New York, Oct 15.-Several hun dred metropolitan fight fans were keenly disappointed last night by the second postponement of the fight Ea.s.ss finish in private between George Me Fadden and Jimmy Kelly. a aE9
 The fight was originally scheduled for week ago. but McFadden at that time pleaded lack of condition, and Kelly generously consented to let the contest go over for another week. Last night the crowd gathered and the men were all but ready to enter the ring when McFadden begged for a chance to get into proper condition.
 He, said that he hAd not realized how far he was out of shape, and hG thought it was only justice to let him get good and ready for such a serious affair as finish fight.
 Kelly was very sore at this turn of affairs, but like good sportsman he consented to let the fight go over again this time to next Thursday night, at the same place, which all the thirty-third degree fans are well aware of.

J.; will meet today on the links of the Merion Cricket club at Haverford to decide the wo- mems golf championship of the United States. Miss Bishop has on several oc- casions figured prominently in the championship contests. but Mrs. San ford occupies the honor of a semi finalist for the first time. Mrs. San lords victories have been attributable to her splendid approaching and dead ly putting.
 Miss Bishop, who defeated Miss Har- ley in the seminal, has played a splendid long game, while her putting has shown considerable raggedness. Miss Bishops experience in champion ship tournaments is expected to help her considerably against Mrs. San- ford in the final for the championship.
 Mrs. Sanford won her way into the final round by defeating Miss Pauline Mackay of the Oakley Country club, who had disposed of the British cham pion, Miss Charlotte bod, in the first match play round.

No Damages Can be Secured From
 Philadelphia Club.

Philadelphia, Oct 15.--It is virtually certain that the Philadelphia base ball club will never have to pay one dollar of the hundreds of thousands sued for by the forty odd victims of the grand stand collapse of August. 1903, when several persons were killed and more than score injured, many being crip- f5se3 fer life. This was admitted by lawyers in the case, in discussing the effect-of the companys confession of Judgment for $500, 0,O00 damages in the action brought by Albert E. Newbold. It was explained that, as the stock of the company is fully paid and non-as. sessable, there can be no action for damages against any of the stock hold CTS as individuals, and to levy on the assests of the company would mean nothing.

Fortune-Tsllers and Their Poor Dupes Who Are in Many Cases De- serving of No Pity.

J When fortune-tellers swindle the poor and ignorant we would make them suffer smartly for it. Certainly the in genuity of professional fortune-teller is in itself educative, says the London Spectator. The craft with which she throws out yelled hints, the subtlety with which she pounces upon any lucky shot and the diplomacy which she uses to extort confessions are often magnifl- cent
 Observe the rapt, far-away look with which she asks you abruptly: "Who is Ethel?" There is possibility that you know some one of that name, in which case the odds are that you will afford her some clue for intelligent an ticipations. If, however, you indig- nantly deny any such acquaintance she can always fall back upon the very safe statement that the name will be famil- far to you later on.
 Such procedure reminds us of the fa- nous dodge of Disraeli, who, whenever he met man whom he did not know but felt he ought to know. inquired suaveIy: .TIow is the old complaint" ?"
 Playing this little comedy one day in Pail Mall he was met with the discon- certing reply: Complaint! never had an ache or pain in my 1ife," whereupon he put his head on one side and said with sympathetic sigh: "Ah, I meant the wife" The secret of the success of most charlatans Is that if they go on making 8 sufficient number of shots, some of them are bound even- tua1ly to hit the mark.
 We remember the case of clairvoy- ant who told fair client that two good spirits were watching over her and that their names were Juliet and Jane. The visitor stoutly declared that there were no such persons. But when, she came home and told her mother of the cpl sode she was reminded to her amaze ment that those were indeed the names of two sisters who had died in infancy
 Fortune-telling, we should say, is harmless pastime so long as 1t is not taken seriously. But what about edu- cated and most respectable folk who take 1t very seriously? We are accus- toned to pity Dr. Johnson because he could not pass a lamp post without touching it, but what shall we say of people who forego important enter prises on days which they imagine to be unlucky, who deliberately make themselves the sport of chance or re- sign their reason to designing adven- turers?
 We would not fly in the face of an- cient beliefs, the origin of which may have been forgotten, nor do we forget that the founders of Thirteen clubs have often perished niserably But the person who really care about omens, unlucky days, upsetting salt and all the rest should know that he . fool.

Pittsburg Worsted in the Battle With the Ameri- cans-St Louis Cardinals Win a Game.

Pittsburg, Oct 15.-Once more does the American league flag, wave above the National league bunting, as far as Pittsburg is concerned. Pittsburg lost the deciding game to Cleveland yester- day and the boys from the Buckeye state went home last evening full of joy and gold.
 The tally at the wind-up yesterday showed 4 to 1 for the other fellows. Lajoie's men played all around the once fast P1ttsburg team. The Pitts booby prize and they could not touch Hess. In nine full innings they got the ball safe but twice. Once Wagner hit for two bases and Robertaille, the youth from New York state, put it safe.
 Yet, at that, Pittsburg looked good until the upper turn was reached, when Robertaille went off his feet.
 Up to the seventh inning but two Clevelanders had reached second base. Tn the second inning WagI ar hit the ball for two bases. and went h. me on two su> eessive outs. That was all Pittsburg got. but. until the seventh was well on, it looked enough.
 Then something happened. Turner singled. Lush sent him down with an out. Beulow hit one for two bases and Turner tied the score. Hess sent out neat one, and Beulow came home with another. But that was not all. Tn the eighth they got after Rober- taille again, and after two were out, Stovall singled and Lush crippled, Stovall coming through. Bemis hit the ball for a pair, and Lush made the last run of the year In Pittsburg. The score:
 Cleveland ..ooo0 0oo2 2 o-4 il 2 Pittsburg 70 1 o o O 0 O--1 2 ?

History of tie Great Game.
 Its Ancient Ov1gis--+Col- leges Made Gridiron Pobalar--- Pennsyluania Prospects --- Captain Hnrley of Haruard.

The story of football begins far back in history and has, except for 6 brief period, steadily grown in favor.
 Even in the early dawn of Grecian civilization a simple form of this sport was enjoyed. Then rude ball made of bladder or rough skin was used, and the players propelled it by kicking, not being allowed to put the ball for ward in any manner by the use of the hands.
 The Romans, too, were expert play CTS. They called it harpastum. As the history of the word implies, they, unlike the Greeks, were permitted to seize the ball in their hands and car- " 1t as well as kick it.
 Football is much older game than cricket and is more suitable for the winter season. In fact, 1t was soon called the winter game" cricket be- ing dubbed the summer game"
 First Mention of Football.
 It is believed that .'The History of London" by William Fitzstephen, writ ten about the year 1175, makes the first historic mention of this game in England, although it seems certain that it was introduced into Great Britain in early times by the Romans.
 Tn England for long time there were no clubs, no code of rules and no special organizations to give control in any way of this exciting pastime. On Shrove Tuesday people of all ages

 The Different Balls.
 The association used a ball in the shape of perfect sphere, the union one egg shaped The balls were now much improved, being made then much as now by using inflated india rubber bladders covered with leather careful ly laced together.
 Tn the United States the great col leges and universities, as in England, led in giving popularity to football. And the interest manifested in this form of athletics has been and is now in most sections intense and absorb ing.
 Now not only do the colleges and universities have their teams to win honors for their respective institutions, but also it is found that almost all the small schools, the town high schools, villages, etc, are represented by well organized teams.
