THE TEAMS COMPARED NEW YORK, October 5.—The athletic meeting of the representatives of Cam- bridge University and Yale University on Manhattan field this afternoon will be the first international meet of its kind held in this country. Not until this season has an English team visited this side of the Atlantic. An Irish team journeyed across in 1887, but could net do more than make a tame show- ing against the athletes of Manhattan. This year, however, the London Athletic Club sent a team across, and every one knows about the glorious victory achieved by the representatives of the N. Y¥. A. C. There will be eleven events on the card, as follows: One-hundred-yard dash, three- hundred-yard run, running broad jump, sixteen-pound hammer throwing, putting the shot, two hurdle races, one-mile run, half-mile run, quarter-mile run and high jump.

The Prospects. ‘The 300-yard dash ard the turf hurdles are not usually included in American games, and the American hurdle race is new to the Englishmen, so that there is a division of difficulties, according to the Yale view of the situation. Richards has proved very fast in the 300- nd is expected by Yale men to Lewin and Fitz Herbert cover that % illiams were in first- class condition he would give Richards a Over the Hurdle. close rub in the 100-yard dash, think the Yale admirers. Both men can make it in 0.10 when they are at their best. Wilding can do better than 0.102-5, and Burnett, who is somewhat variable, should do as well as that. Fitz Herbert is looked on as a sure win- ner in the quarter mile, providing he is in good form. He rurs the quarter in 0.49 3-5. Richards has done 0.51, which is equal to Lewin’s record. Crane will probably not be in it with Capt. Horan of Cambridge. The former runs the half-mile in 1.55 1-5, the latter in 201, Lutyens fs an English athletic star. He does the mile in 4.19 4-5, while Morgan 1s about 4.30, good enough for second place, probably, as Davenport, the other Cam- bridge man, cnly claims 4, Capt. Sheldon, with 23 feet 5 inches, will take the running broad jump, or “long jump,” as the English term it. Mendelson’s feet 11 inches, Mitchell of Yale eet 7 inches. ton and Jennings of Cambridge claim 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 7 inches, respectively, in the high jump, but can probably do better. Thompson of Yale has done 5 feet 10 3-4 inches, and Capt. Sheldon can be relied upon for 5 feet 8 inches. There is no doubt in the minds of Yale men about the shot putting and the ham- mer throwing, with Hickok, Cross and Brown in the field, but the hurdles are full of uncertainty, and the falls that are al- way= liable to occur in those events make an accurate prediction very diffieult. Sanford’s Case. One of the pleasant Incidents of the mect- ing has been tlfe courtesy shown each other by the captains of the opposing teams. Sanford was cfficially announced as a mem- ber of the Yale team by Capt. Sheldon. There was a slight question as to whether Sanford was eligible, owing to a “condi- tion” he had in his studies last spring. On being asked if the decision allowing Sanford to compete was agreeable to him, ‘apt. Horan of the English team said: Capt. Sheldon asked if we had any s to his taking part. He told me anford’s failure to compete in the last games with Harvard had nothing to do Throwing the Hammer. with the intercollegiate rules, and I sald to him that if Yale men thought it right for him to run in these games we would not object.” The managers of the Yale team on fur- ther consideration determined not to enter a sirgle man upon whom rested the sus- picion of a doubt as to eligibility.

Haven Monday and came to this city and ‘have continued their practice at Berkeley Oval. The Cambridge athletes are a weil-bred lot of men. There is none of the cockney or snob about them, and their appearance at all public places has been so uncommonly unassuming, as ccmpared with American collegians, that they have made a host of friends. The Britishers have been at work on the Yale field pretty much every day since they reached New Haven. They seldom rode to the field, which is about'a couple of miles from their hotel, and they never returned fiom the field in a carriage or in the elec- tric cars, although the latter passed their hctel and ran as far out as the field. They are great walkers, and appear to thorough- ly enjoy the tramp back and forth from the practice ground. They made no demon- stration on their tours to and from the field, and to the uninformed would never be The High Jump. suspected, from their modest and easy-go- ing gait, as the athletic representatives of Cambridge University. Capt. Horan said on leaving New Haven that several members of his team had not been feeling quite well for a few days and attributed their indisposition to the sudden changes in the weather, to which they are not accustomed, but he hoped they would be In good condition before the games. RAWLINS IS CHAMPION. A Mere Lad Beats All the Cracks on the Newport Links. The play in the open golf championship tournament at Newport yesterday resulted in a grand surprise, the title being won by young John Rawlins of the Newport Links, wko defeated Dunn, Dayis, Campbell and all the other cracks, leading his nearest com- petitor two strokes, and his instructor, Davis, by five. Rawlins is a mere lad, who was scarcely considered as a probable win- ner. He Is only nineteen years old, of Eng- lish birth, and until within two or three yeare was a caddie at Benbridge, Isle of Wight, later playing on several English links. Last January he came to Newport, and in July at Shinnecock Hills took fourth position, sixteen strokes behind the third man. The summary of the day’s play ts as fol- lows: H.

As has been published in The Star's dis- patches, the foot ball team of Northwestern University, at Evanston, IIL, is short one good player. This is Van Doozen, an ex- cellent half back, who is now in the em- ploy of the United States as a member of the life-saving crew on the lake front. All of a sudden this last summer Van Doozen was instructed officially that he could not play with the Evanston boys. It would in- terfere wit. his efficiency as a life saver. The boys appealed to Superintendent Kimball, sayirg Van would rot play during his time on duty, and that his foot ball work would really put him in better trim for the arduous feats of life saving expect- ed of him. Van's presence on the team was made a matter of vital importance. With- out him defeat stared the boys in the face whichever way they turned. Having failed in a direct appeal, the col- lege boys bave now organized a new line of attack. They are all more or less politi- cians, and they have been making up a list of Congressmen, Senators and others in public staticn who belorg to the various Greek letter societies, with a view to enlist- ing their aid. Accompanying the huge pe- tition which the boys will soon send to Secretary Carlisle, who has the decision of the matter in his power, will be letters from a number of the university professors who belong to tke Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, of which Mr. Carlisle is a mem- ber. President Cleveland will be approached by some of his brothers in Sigma Chi, and it is hoped that Postmaster General Wilson will listen to brother Sigma Alph’s. So, too, Secretary Lamont is relied on by the Delta Upsilons, and Vice President Stevenson by the boys of Phi Delta Theta. The Beta Theta Pi boys will try to get Justice Har- lan and Justice Brewer, Senator Voorhees end Attorney General Harmen to help them out. TO STOP GLOVE CONTESTS. The Virginia Legislature Likely to Amend the Law. It 1s very likely that the Virginia legis- lature at this session will be asked to amend the law prohibiting prize fighting so as to include glove contests. Gov. O'Fer- rall yesterday expressed great satisfaction at that feature of the law just enacted by Texas. It is expected that the executive will make 3ome such recommendation to the legislature. Such an amendment, it is believed, would protect the Alexandria county people from incursions of Washing- ton and cther spectators who cross the river ostensibly to have these contests, but really to conduct prize fights.

A. C. Team. ATHLETICS AT GEORGETOWN + Some of the old foot ball players at Gal- laudet College at Kendall Green are back and in cases where they are not new men have been secured who are filling the va- cancies acceptably. The Gallaudet boys always have one advantage over their op- ponents, and that is that they are able to give signals which are Greek to most cap- tains cf rival elevens. The team is man- aged this year by Mr. G. B. Whittocke, a The personnel is: Sinclair, center; Rossou and Brooks, guards; Dudley and Brockhagen, tackles; Roth, Haig or Fisher, ends; Hubbard, cap- tain and quarter back; Price and Grim, half backs; Erd, full back. Sinclair is from Ohio and is a junior. He tips the scales at a hundred and fifty-five pounds and has played center on the first team for the past two years. Rossou is from Tennessee, and is a freshman. He is just one behind Sinclair in the matter of weight, and has played half back on the college team for the past three years, two of them while in the preparatory depart- ment. The breaking of several ribs will not permit him to be stationed as a back regularly, but if it is thought necessary he_will be put there. The other guard, Brooks, from Texas, is also a member of the freshman class. Brooks is the heaviest man on_the eleven, possessing a hundred and_ seventy-four pounds of avoirdupois, but this is his first experience in college foot ball. Roth is a member of the junior class and comes from Minnesota. “Quick on his feet and knows all the points of the game” about describes him. He has been a sub- stitute on the first team for the past two years and weighs a hundred and forty-five pounds of bore and muscle. Just who will be the other end is not definitely settled, but it will be either Haig, a member of the introductory class, from Illinois, or Fisher, a sophomcre from the keystone state. Fisker, one hundred and forty-one pounds, has the apparent advantage, Haig only weighing a hundred and thirty-three, but in experience and tackling Haig is ahead. All friends of Gallaudet will be glad to learn that.Capt. Hubbard is again at the heim. He comes from Colorado, is a se- nior, and tips the scales at a hundred and thirty-three. He has played on both the first and second teams ever since he has been at college, and captained the ’94 sec- ond team which was so successful. Grimm, a senior from Pennsylvania, weighs one hundred and fifty, and this will be his first year as a half back. The posi- tion which he held so successfully in past years—end—has fitted him for half. He is probably the fastest runner on the team, and will be a»power behind the line. The other half is Price, who comes all the way from the state of Washington, and is a freshman. He weighs a hundred and thirty-six, and is nearly as quick on his feet as Grimm. Erd, a sophomore, from Illinois, weighs a hundred and fifty-two, and has never played on the first eleven. He is well built, an@ is said to be remarkably quick on the punt. Manager Whittocke has arranged a schedule of games, but still has a few dates open for either the first cr second teams. October 12, with Central High School, at Gallaudet College. October 15, with Potomac A. C., at Gal- laudet College. October 18, laudet College. October 26, with University of Virginia, at Charlottesville. November 6 with Maryland Agricultural College, at Gallaudet College. November 9, with Baltimore City College, at Baltimore. November 20, with Baltimore City Col- lege, at Baltimore. Maryland Agricultural College. Last year the Maryland Agricultural Col- lege had one of the best foot ball elevens that ever represented the institution. They claimed the title of champions of Maryland, but there was some dispute about it on the part of another team. This year those in authority intend that there shall be no cloud on their title to the championship, and to that end both the first and second teams practice two or three hours daily. Grenville Lewis, well known in this city as a former full back of the Business High School, has been elected captain again, and the manager is W. S. Rollins. Capt. Lewis will occupy his old position at full, while Manager Rollins will fill the position of tackle. % Watkins and Nelligan, both of whom are good at breaking up interference, are tak- ing care of the ends. Kenly at quarter back is also showing up well. The other places on the eleven are filled by the following collegians: Walker, center; Fuller, right half back; Millison, left half back; Gardner, right guard; Henderson, left guard, and Lewis, full back. Captain Lewis is exceptionallyggood at bucking the center, showing up especially well against the heavy Columbia Athletic Club team of last year. Manager Rollins has arranged the following games to be played by the first team: October 19, with Western Maryland Col- lege, at Westminster. October 26, with Episcopal High School, at Alexandria. November 2, with Laurel Athletic Asso- ciation, at ——. November 6, with Baltimore City College, at Baltimore. November 20, with Johns Hopkins Univer- sity, at College Park. The team also expects to play in October at College Park with the Central High School and the Eastern High School, and probably on Thanksgiving day play the Cumberland Athletic Club at Cumberland. Foot Ball at Baltimore. Within the last two years foot ball has made rapid strides at every college in Maryland, with one exception, and that the largest of them all, Johns Hopkins University. Especially is the Baltimore City College putting a good deal of atten- tion on the game. They have just finished a series of inter-class games in which the class of "08 are the victors. The object of this series of games is to determine the complexion of the college team. The men that will play on the team have been hard at work for nearly a month, and are in prime condition. The candidates as a whole are also a beefy lot and should come pretty near winning nearly all the games they play. The Baltimore Athletic Club has turned its attention from boating to foot ball, and has had the candidates for the teams out at practice during all of September, in- cluding the hot spell. Such weil-known Princeton names as those of the Poe and Riggs boys are on the list of candidates. The board of park commissioners of Balti- more, toward the latter part of the season last year, forbade match games to be played in Druid Hill Park, the battle ground for many a year, and now it is probable that the largest number of con- tests will take place at Oehm’s Athletic Park, a field provided for the use of the youth of Baltimore through the munifi- cence of the well-known merchant, Mr. Oehm. Johns Hopkins, Washington College at Chestertown, Western Maryland at West- minster, and Rock Hill College, will all have elevens this year. Georgetown College. As exclusively announced in ‘The Star of some weeks ago, Georgetown College will play foot ball this season, and, in fact, is playing now, as the representative of The Star, when at the college, was able to see. It is only the younger students who have put in any practice at the college yet. The au- thorities have prohibited ihe students only from playing the elevens of outside institu- tions. Arrangements are now being made by which an organization similar to an inter-class teague will be evolved. This league will be on the order of the inter-class foot ball league among the students of the ith Baltimore A. C., at Gal- Baltimore City College, andi will be started just as soon as possible. The elevens will be in charge of managers selected from the respective classes. » Officers were recently elected for all branches of athletics supported by the col- lege. Walter S. Martin ts che vic2 president of the athletic association and J. F. Wevsel, treasurer. Tennis is ‘inder the supervision of Harry Gower; billiards and the biiliard room, Andrew Berry, and field and track athletics, Robert D. Douglass. Conde Nast was selected to be the man- ager of the base ball nine, but word was re- ceived from him a few days ugo stating that he would not return to colleg2 this year. Manager Douglass, who Is in charge of the campus, expects to have the track ready by the 15th of this month, and in the ea part of November a field day will be held. The base ball enthusiasts keep yusy, and the chances are bright for as strong a team as last year and probably stronger. Among the new candidates are Dugan, catch Tracy and Scanlan, pitchers; O'Connell, Fox and Coleman, first basemen, and McLeigh- ton, third baseman. Of the new men, the last-named player and Tracy are graduates of Fordham Colleze. Meardon has been brought in from right field and put at short stop. Of the old men, Mahoney ts pitening, Capt. Harley in eft field and McCarthy in right. The new material contains some of the best men that ever hav2 attended the col- lege for the first itme, attracted, many of them, by the success of last year’s nite. —. THE JAPANESE BABY. A Kind of Infant That Would Delight Some American Mothers. W. F. Curtis in Chicago Record. Every woman in Japan above the age of fifteen years seems to own a baby, and usually carries it around on her back. Japanese babies never cry—they rever get impatient or discontented, but they stay where they are put and enjoy it. You can see hundreds of women at work in the tea- firing houses, where the temperature is al- ways very high and the work is very hard, going throrgh their twelve hours of labor with babies three or four weeks old strap- ped upon their backs, and the babies never whimper, no matter how much the mothers shake them up when they are stirring the hot tea leaves up to their shoulders in the pans. Then, after three hours, when the regular resting time comes and everybody stops for refreshments, baby gets his. He is unstrapped and nursed while the mother is dipping into her little rice can with a ccuple of chopsticks, and then, when the whistle blows, he is strapped on again for another three hours, without opening his lips except to yawn or say “goo” or make some other remark as the incidents and pe- culiarities of this wonderful world excite his attention. When he gets a little older his mother puts him in a tea box with some little plaything, and he will stay there all day, safe from harm, and grow and enjoy him- self. He can exercise bis arms by pulling himself by the sides of the box, and his legs by treading around in that limited space, and can assist in the development of his dental apparatus by chewing the edges of the boards, but he never seems to get tired or hungry or dissatisfied, although any live American baby that ever existed would be howling like a drove of blue devils in five minutes after his mother had gone to her work. Toward noonday, when the sun gets hot and the little ones feel sleepy, they le down on the floor like a cat or a dog. It may be a pavement of brick or ston, it may be a board floor, but they need no cradle, or blanket, or pillow, only a shel- tered corner cut of the sun, where they won't be stepped upon, and they do not have to be rocked or sung to sleep. ‘They take care of themselves. Their mothers are busy earning eight, ten or fifteen cents a day by twelve or thirteen hours of herd labor in a@ warehotise, where the tempera- ture is often up to 100 degrees all day long, and the odor of tea is so strong that it al- most strangles you; so they do not wish to bother them or add to their cares, and have the good sense and self-control to find their own amusement and look after their own comfort, just like a puppy or a kitten. That is the kind of baby they raise in Japan. —__+e+—____ A SINGULAR FEUD. Brothers Who Fell Out About a Matri- monial Arrangement. From the San Francisco Post. “The queerest feud I ever heard of,” said M. C. Allen, the well-known sportsman, “is one that I encountersd while hunting in southern Humboldt county. I noticed our guide carried a repeating rifle, a big re- velver and a knife half as long as his leg. He proceeded with the greatest caution, and appeared to be on guard continually. I knew there were ro hostile Indians in that country, and my curiosity was aroused. Finally, I asked him what the trouble was. “Oh, I yoost look out for some fellow,’ he replied, in his Swedish dialect. “‘What’s the trcuble, anyway? I in- quired. “‘Oh, nuttin’ much. Maybe a pig man mit a goon watch me pretty close, too.’ “Who is he?’ “‘Oh, he is my brudder. Las’ time I fix him plenty, you bet. He come back, now, urd maybe he fix me.’ “Inquiry developed the fact that the brothers had settled in Humboldt some years ago, and our guide, who was mar- ried, had left a pretty sister-in-law in Sweden. The brothers talked the matter over, and finally agreed that the married one should send for the girl, and when she reached this country he would give his old wife to his brother and take his sister-in- law. “The girl arrived in due time, but she was so much prettier than the unmarried broth- er had expected that he was loath to ac- cept his brother's cast-off wife. Finally, he married the girl, and then refused to compromise the breach of contract by pay- ing what his brother had expended in get- ting her to this coast. A quarrel followed, and the guide pinked his brother in the shoulder with a rifle ball and landed him in the hospital for three months. The other vowed vengeance, and they do little now but watch the mountain trails, fully prepared to renew hostilities at a second’s notice.” ——_——-+ee. They Get It Wrong. From the Philadelphia Ledger. © “JT never hear a young girl say, as young girls are fcnd of saying,” observed an old lady on the summer boarding house plazza, “what sort of man she will marry, and what sort only, that I do not think of cer- tain speeches to which I myself have lis- tened from pretty lips before this. A school friend of mine so held New Jersey in de- testation that she tore its map from her geography. She used to say that nothing would induce her to marry a man who was a widower, or wore a wig, or iived in New Jersey. And the man of her choice was guilty of all these three enormities. I used to.talk over my future with two cousins. I would not marry a business man, I said. Kate would not thirk of a clergyman or Carry of a farmer. And we married, re- spectively, a business man, a clergyman and a farmer. It is all like a smart young American ‘help’ in my grandmother's kitch- en, who was wont to declaim to us children on the scorn in which she held all men, al- ways winding up her denunciation of the sex by: ‘No; I wouldn’t marry any man that walks on two legs.’ And she didn't. She married a one-legged man!” ——_~+-e+ All a Mistake. From Pearson's Weekly. The reporter that had accompanied the speciai train to the scere cf the wreck hurried down the embankment, and found a man who had one arm in a sling, a ban- dage, over one eye, his front teeth gone and his nose knocked four points to starvoard, sitting on a piece of the locomotive, and surveying the horrible ruin all about him, “Can you give me some particulars of this accident?” he asked, taking out his note beok. “| haven't heard of any accident, young man,” replied the disfigured party, stiffly. He was one of the -lirectors of the com- pany. PROF, PASTEORS DEATH And the: Terrible” Lesson It Teaches to the World. “DID NOT SAVE HIMSELF.

Why the Office Boy Was Rather Sene sitive on the Subject. From the San Francisco Call. “I admit that I have rather a hard name to spell or pronource, and that is why I encourage my friends in their proclivity to call me Zig,” said C. O. Ziegenfuss. “But while I make this confession as to my own outlandish patronymic, I want it understood that mine is not the worst name in the world. Once, while I was doing newspaper work in Denver, our editor ad- vertised for a new office boy, A bright- appearing young fellow, with a mild look in his eye, answered the call, and said he was ready to go to work. __ “‘all right,’ sat the city editor; ‘let me ask your name.’ The lad hesitated a mo- ment and eventually fishedout,a card, which bore the nume ‘Hermann V. Mor- genausgelagen.” ‘ - “Very well, Mr. Morgenausgelagen,’ sald the editor, ‘take that desk and answer any calls that may be msde. But first let me introduce you to the members o7 the staff, My name is Dickensheets. This fair-haired gentleman here is Mr. Felewisch. The bru- nette on your right is Mr. Eckingreen, and the gentleman with the sylph-like form is Mr. Ziegenfuss.” “These were all genuine names, but the new office boy would not believe it. He was on his dignity in a moment and said: ‘I will have you understand, sir, that I came here tc work and not to be joshed.. I do not propose to stay in a place where I am insulted. Good-day, sir.” “Clapping his hat on his head he left. We tried to call him back, but it was no use.” This story led to others in regard to strange names. “I used to know a man in Missouri named Auxi¢ Anchico Benzult Maria Penith Hildreth Dickinson Tomp- kirs,” said Bob Davis. “I have heard Dan de Quille tell of a colored boy in Wash- ington city who bore the cognomenic bur- den of ‘Thomas Didymus Christopher Holmes Henry Cadwalder Peter Jones Henry Clay Anderson.” WASHINGTON’S JACKASS, It Won the First Prize Be the South Carolina Fair in 1790, From the Savannah News. The collection of colonial relics for the ladies’ exhibit at the Atlanta exposition is progressing admirably. Capt. D. G. Purse has just secured another, which is decided- ly a curiosity in its way, and seems to be proof positive that Gen. George Washing- ton was somewhat of a stock grower, and took a hand in making exhibits at fairs himself. This relic is a large solid silver cup with the date 1790 upon it, and by its appearance it was without doubt made about that time. It bears the following inscription in fine lettering just under the ri ‘A premium from the Agricultural Society of South Carolina to Gen. Washington for raising the largest jackass.” Just under the word jackass is a picture of the animal himself engraved on the sil- ver. Capt. Purse is now in temporary pos- session of this relic and proposes to secure it for the collection of colonial relics to be exhibited by the colonial dames of America. Another interesting relic, which will go in the exhibit and which Capt. Purse now has in charge is the saddle used by Gen. Scott when he rode triumphant into the City of Mexico. The Grammatical Rule. From the Philadelphia Call. From time to time examinations of class- es in the elementary schools are conducted under the auspices of the superintendent of public schools in order to test the work of teachers. In the early days of the superin- tendency teachers who expected a visit from one of the assistant superintendents would carefully drill their pupils and pre- pare them to go on “dress parade.” In one of these cases the children had been taught to recite a number of words, which included an array of nouns, verbs, adjectives, ad- verbs, etc., in measured quantity. “What is fully?” asked the teacher. “Adverb!" shouted the class. “And this?” as she wrote “surely” on the “Adverb!” again responded the young- sters. “And what is this?” queried the assistant superintendent,writing “The fly has wings” and pointing to “fly. “Adverb!" lustily exclaimed the class. “And why is it an adverb?” “Cause it ends in ‘ly,’” was the confident answer. —_-2-_—___——— The Wrong Instrument.
