EDDIE DILLON MARRIED,
Runaway Marriage for Princeton
 Football Captain.

That Edward Aloysius Dillon, cap- tain and quarterback of the Prince ton university football team, had been secretly married nearly year ago to Miss Emily Leidy, youngest daughter of MT and Mrs John J. Leidy of Nutley, N. J., became known in Newark yesterday by the contin- ued residence of MT Dillon at the home of Mrs Leidy since the Prince ton-Yale game. t.F ,r Friends of the young people say that it was a runaway marriage, in which the young woman's mother was let in only at the last minute. None of her other relatives knew about 1t.
 |. It is understood that MT Dillon S relatives, who live in Boston, are not yet aware of his marriage. It was at baseball game in New York between Yale and Princeton two years ago that Dillon and Miss Leidy first met. It was not, how ever, until the close of the annual baseball series between Princeton and Yale in 1907 that there were ru- mors of an engagement.
 The final and deciding game be- tween the two universities took place in New York, Dillon playing second base for Princeton. Just before the game was called Dillon received a telegram from Miss Leidy, readily: "Yours if you win and thousand kisses"
 Dillon's playing was feature of the contest and Princeton was vic- torious. Dillon is one of the most popular students at Princeton. He has starred in athletics and played as quarterback on the eleven. He halls from Lawrence, Mass.

THE DIAMOND
Owner Dorsy and Manager Kelley of the Bostous are in .
 Hot Argument.

Boston, Nov 25-President George B. Doyey of the Boston Nationals has written Manager Joe Kelly letter saying that Toronto has agreed to assume the contract that Boston has with Kelley, and asks his manager for his resignation.
 After considering the matter, Kel> ley decided that he would not resign, but wonld insist that the Boston club carry out is agreement to the let ter. t.f tH
 The contract with Kelley was made last fall, and was for two years. It had not ten days clause attached, so that the manager can insist on the absolute fulfilment of the agreement
 MT Dovey was asked if he had de- cided on change of management, and intimated that he had not yet fully decided. He did admit, how ever, that. Kelley was not entirely satisfactory. ~-
 T don't think Kelley controlled the players properly last season, said MT Dovey. He allowed men to practically rebel against his orders, and failed to reprimand them when he should. The case of outfielder Browne is one have in mind
 Last fall Joe Kelly complained bitterly against the attitude of Pres ident Dovey. q can never find the gentleman, said Kelley. He spends most of his time with those players rebelling against my management. '
 MT Dovey will not admit that he has broached the subject of manage ment to Frank Bowerman, although he has spent much time with that player since the season closed, and no doubt has been impressed with the cute suggestions offered by the Michigan farmer
 Arthur Irwin was in Boston yes terday and said that Toronto had offered to assume Kelley's contract and give the Boston club a nice slice of money as bonus. Kelley made good with vengeance in Toronto said Irwin. simply because he Tas not interferred with and had chance to run the team in his owr way, and no manager can hope te succeed under any other circum stances"

GOT SELBACKS GOAT

Al Setback, prince of good fellows and a classy ball player in his day, had one bad failing, and that was his inability to go back after ball that was hit over his head. On ac- count of his weakness Al would al- ways play the deepest of any fielder of his time, for he could come in on ball with the f1eetness of deer. One day when he was playing with New York, back In 1900, one of the sporting writers wrote an article on How to Play Left Field" and sign ed Selback's name to the story. An other sporting writer on the same paper got hold of the proof of the story and scratched out part of the beginning, substituting the follow ing: Always place your back against the --ft field fence, so they cannot knock the ball over your head"
 The copy was corrected put in type and published. When Al read the portion that was substituted for the original, he hunted high and low for the author with murder in his heart.

JOHN 'LEPPER HUGHES. Many People In This City Remember
 the Six Day Racer.

New York, Nov 25.-Of all coura- geous hearts to be met among the sons of "Ould Erin" none more indomit- able than that of John uepper) Hughes, the aged pedestrian who lives at Lexington avenue and One Hundred and Thirtieth street. To the old time followers of athletics the name of Hughes is familiar, but his deeds of prowess were performed when the middle aged men of to-day were in early youth, and sport soon forgets its heroes. One of the many remarkable feats of this phenomenal athlete was performed nearly twenty seven years ago. In Madison Square garden, against the great Charles Powell, in February, 1882, the j"Lepper," as Hughes was then known, ran 150 miles in 23 hours and 15 minutes. The feat has never been equalled and will probably stand for all time.
 But it is not the past records of this iron limbed runner, glowing though they may be, that has recalled his memory to a forgetful athletic world. Once more the veteran has taken to the road. A week ago Mon- day he did nearly 55 miles in less than twelve hours and finished the last five as strong, almost, as he started. With the exception of an exhibition at Port Jefferson, last Au gust. it was the first work Hughes had done on the road in six years. Ot late he has been troubled with sciatic rheumatism. an affliction that runs in the Irish family of which he sprung Only of late has he recovered sufi- ciently to travel long distances
 But though he bears the badge of years in an iron gray head and stopped form John Hughes maintains that he is far from down and out. His eye has all the lustre of by-gone days and his step is still light and springy. Indeed. he is willing to match his endurance against any man of the country to-day in 8 competition in which such endurance counts for all Of course in the short distances the veteran would have no show. But he is open to any man in the world for Q race, say, at 150 miles.
 sJust say for me-" said Hughes the other night ''tlfat am not too old tel lock horns with any of tho young
