 NEW VENTURE
Would Establish a Train. ing Place Such as Nul- doom Has Tommy Ryan Will Manage Hart-Gans in Trouble.

Pittsburg, Oct 17.-Bob Fitzsim- mons would have training place like that of the famous Muldoon. If plans he now has under way materialize, the former champion will bid adieu to the strenuous life and enter into business, according to letter received yester- day by William Bradburn, local sporting man, from Red Robert.
 Fitzsimmons is seriously cosldering proposition to purchase a tract of land near New York and erect gym nasium for the purpose of teaching physical culture, and treating those who have impaired constitutions. It will be styled after William Muldoon's s institution. Fitzsimmons believes he can make the proposition success. His friends suggested that he head a company capitalized at $100,000 and commence operations at once.
 Bradburn has replied to Fitzsim- mons, advising him to establish the school in this city. The local sporting men held a consultation with several of his friends and they thought we'll of the idea. So 1t may happen that Lanky Bob, one of the most popular fighters of the day, will become a resident of ] this city. Pittsburg is badly in need of such an institution, and the actor l fighters efforts would no doubt be crowned with success.

TOUR GOOD PLAYERS

There are four players in college work is making them prominent and wo rkls making them prominent and yet who are not connected with any Of the so-called top notch eIevens. The four are Shuster of Lafayette, Crowell of Swarthmore. Cunningham of Wes- leyah, afid castleman Of Colgate. Crowell, the Swarthmore quarterback. was a star drop kicker last year, ana Is doing good work along that line this vera. Shuster is another crack drop kicker, his three drop kick goals last Saturday being notable performance and maybe a record for one game. Cunningham. the freshman end of the Wesleyan team, has drop kicked couple of goals already for the Meth odists. CastIeman shines not as a drop kicker but as great ground gam ing halfbaek. He has distinpuishei himself several times this fall by his speedy end runs. which have brought discomfiture to rivals

CAPTAIN coONEY BACK.

Princeton, \. J.. Oct 17.-0wing to the intense heat the Tigers had short but very sharp practice yesterday af- ternoon. Captain CoOney was back in the line after an absence of three or four days in which he has been resting up and recovering from a tendency toward staleness.

RYAN TO MANAGE HART.

Marvellous Marvin Hart is going to sing one more song for his old Ken lucky home and skiddoo out into the wide, wide world under the manage ment of one Thomas Ryan, acting, he says, on the advice of James J. Jef- fries. M Ind Hart has lost the valuable services of Jack Mccormack, who has gone into the more congenial field of tend ing bar. Marvin is going to hitch his wagon to Ryan's star, and as Tommy is to have the entire management of the Kentuckian the prediction is not amiss that Hart is now apt to amount to something. Ryan is shrewd, is a clever boxer and can show the ex- plumber tricks hitherto undreamed of in his philosophy. Tommy has left his home in Benton Harbor. Mich,, and will be with Marvin in Bouchel, Ky, near Louisville. shortly, where they will hold conference and will soon start after big game.
 After my go with Jack Root" says Marvin, Jim Jeffries came to me and advised me to secure the services of Ryan as a trainer. Jeff said that it was Tommy who taught him all the fine points of the game and that since I have the making of champion I should have the same training.
 q am ready to meet any man in the world"
 Tommy Ryan, when seen at his home, said he would do all in his power to help Hart and believes that he can make champion of him.

THE ENGLISH GAME.

Boston, Oct 17.-Nearly 1000 per sons saw the Pilgrim Association foot ball team of England defeat the Great CT Boston team by the score of 5 to o in hot game at the National league grounds yesterday afternoon. Many college football players and former gridlron stars were present to see how the English game,is played. The Bos- ton team displayed great agility, but lacked the team work essential 10 give their opponents close game The Pilgrims scored their first goal two minutes after the game began. but ow- Ing to the good defensive work of the local players were unable to repeat the performance during the first ..al.. In the second half the Britishers scored a goal after two minutes of play and made three more. some of which were difficult angles. during the remainder of the half. The Boston team had sev- eral opportunities 10 score. MacAllister missing two ty not more than foot each time.

many kinds. had been almost un- consciously looking for spot in which to lie down and watch the brook, and this green little island seemed the very place. sprang across the stream 1t was less than six feet wide-and lay at fall length upon the moss with my elbows resting on fattish stone and with my chin in the palms of my hands. I was looking up stream, and could see three of the tiny waterfalls had lately passed. The nearest was the largest and the most beautiful, the small cascade of sparkling water leap. ing from the edge of a shelving rock to clear pool fully two feet below. From the bank and close to the fall many ferns were growing and as they were pelted with the spray, they glis- tened and nodded. Above the sound of the water I could hear'tiier loud tap ping of a pileated woodpecker, and as turned my head to try and get a glimpse of him saw a deer walking among the trees He was evidently lawn of the present year. but he had lost his spots and his red coat, and was already attired in winter gray. He sauntered along, now dropping his head to nibble a tuft of grass; now lifting it to browse on the leaves of some twig above his head. Soon he reached the brook. and stood, just above the nearest waterfall, quite un- conscious of any presence but his own. He sniffed the water, took a drink. and then proceeded with his toilet First he raised his right hind leg,- and craning his neck backwards to meet it, daintily scratched his ear with his hoof Then he licked his side with the long tongue, rubbed his face up and down his fore leg and then raising his hind foot again. stretched 1t as far forward as possible. and licked the leg as far back as he could reach. Then he gaped. as though tired from his exertions, and dropping on his knees. lay down on the moss by the side of the brook, and calmly chewed the cud.

The list of misfortunes that have befallen the Quakers this season reads like a recount of the i'll luck that at tended the New York American league baseball team this year. First, w. Hollenback. substitute end and half back. fractured his leg. putting him out of it for the rest of the season. About a week later c. w Weede. the best end in the east except Sheylin, sustained a compound fracture just above the ankle. That put him out of the running for the season. and he probably will not be out of doors be- fore Thanksgiving day. Next Captain Reynolds. the best punter in the east. was prohibited from playing. and the team lost his services for good. Two days later Wharton Sinkler. candidate for end. was forced to give up playing for the season on account of recent illness. A couple of days after that M. F. HOrr. the 24O pound candidate for guard. left the university. falling to psss his entrance examinations. A day or SO later A. B. Ziezier. right guard and one of the teams best ground eainers. was taken down with rvphoid fever and will play no more this year

MGRAW AS MAGNATE.


 John J. MeGraw may become a real base ball magnate in short time. It is said that after the next annual meet ing of the New York base ball club McGraw will have financial interest in the club in addition to an increased salary as manager. This arrangement has been agreed upon in appreciation of McGraw's services to the team in leading them successfully through two championship series and then bringing to New York the highest honor that any team can win in base ball, the championship of all the leagues of the country.
 Those who know McGraw best know how great was his desire to win the worlds championship and what blow it would have been to him if the Giants had lost. The same thing can be said of all the players on the team. This alone should have been enough to stop the talk that was prevalent to the effect that the series between the teams was fixed in advance on a money making basis.
 John T. Brush and Andrew Freed man are great admirers of McGraw personally and as a base ball man. While McGraw's salary has been large, at least $1000 per annum, the prin- cipal stockholders of the club think he is entitled to higher recognition.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The new Hartford owner, J. H. Clarkin, is a firm advocate of replac- ing Meriden and Norwich with Wa terbury and Worcester. Protection for the latter city is being paid by the New England league, however, and 1t is likely to be fin that city.
 In the reserve list of the Norwich club are the names of four players who jumped the team in the early sea- son to return to Pennsylvania.
 McCallister and Fallon of Hartford and the two catchers, Doran and Con nolly, are reported to be likely to be found elsewhere when Hartford begins another season.
 After the final game of the series, New York players tossed their hats into the crowd and the enthusiasts fought desperately to get possession of them.
 Ticket spectators in New York got control of the reserved seats and off, fered them at SC each. which fact ac- counts for the attendance figures be- ing a few thousand shy on some days. Good sports hated to be touched for six.
 Jumping back and forth between Philadelphia and New York was soon put down as a nuisance.
 Grimshaw has been doing so well in the closing weeks of the season that Boston Americans plan to use him at first next spring instead of re- leasing him as has been frequently hinted.
 It is claimed that even with a sew enth place club, the Boston Nationals owners came out many thousands ahead of the game. The slump of the American league team soured many regulars and sent them over to the rl- val grounds oftener.
 Fed Clay. the old Meriden outfield- CT. who Is to be tried by Boston Amer jeans in the spring, Is q man in whom much confidence is placed. It is feared. though. that Clay will not be able to field we'll enough. respite Manager collins's high hopes.

 Joe Kelley will again play left field for the Reds next season. He will keep Jack Barry on first base unless s better man can be secured.

CANS IS KICKING.

Baltimore, Md, Oct 17.-If Joe Cans carries out his expressed intention he will kick over the traces and leave Al Herford. ..
 Cans needs the money and intends journeying to the far west and seeking match, primarily with Battling Nell son, and secondarily with any other boxer who could draw house at or near the Golden Gate. Manager Her. ford. remembering the showing Cans made against Mike (Twin) Sullivan, frowned upon the request of Cans to arrange such jaunt and positively announced that he would have none of it. Whereupon Cans said that Man. ager Herford might remain at home.

Ithaca, N.

Spectators were again excluded from the grounds yesterday. A new system of attack is being developed, the aim being to get greater weight into the mass plays. Thompson and 0'Rourke, the guards, are to be pulled behind the line in place of the tackles.

BILLIARDS.
International Matches Will Likely Be
 Played in New York.

International Matches Will Likely Be
 Played in New York.
 Billiards will be given an interna- tional flavor this winter in America by two big tournaments of leading pro fessional players now fin Paris and this country. Room keepers of New York and other prominent cities have re- quested the Brunswick -Balke-C Collender Co to take hold of the matter, and officers of this firm appear to heartily lndorse the plans.
 Julius Bake will be in Paris this week, and one object of his visit is to secure the entries of Marva. the Span fish expert; Dutton. the best American player now over there, and Cure, the Frenchman. Vignaux and Sanchez may also come over. as it is possible the case now before the French courts may be decided adversely to the Acad- emy owners. Schaefer. Slosson and Hoppe would enter the tournament.
 It Is proposed to hold tournaments fin Chicago and New York, and a new trophy probably will be offered repre- senting the worlds championship at 1s.2 balk line. the old emblem having passed to the permanent possession of Yignaux. Match games would follow the tournaments. giving greater activ- ity to billiards in America this winter than at any time for years. The last big tournament. in New York was held in December, four years ago. and was at 1S.1 baIk line. Schaefer won from SIosson. Sutton. Morningstar and other players.
 Efforts to arrange an international tournament were made last winter. the reopening of the French academies and the Iateness of the season causing a halt in the plans which are now being pushed with good prospects of success. players and patrons of billiards giving strong support.
