YALE’S ULTIMATUM ISSUED From the New York Journal, The Antipodeans just now are seeking amusements’ in the open air, which we undoubtedly associate with the summer months, and in their cold weather enjoy foot ball urinterruptedly, but in the some- times rigorous and always uncertain win- ter in this section of the globe, outdoor games are practically abandoned on the first sign of frost. Association foot ball, however, which has now reached the dignity of a British na- tional sport, and stands second only in importance to cricket, has its devotees and patrons on almost every corner of the earth, and is played sometimes under the most impossible conditions, and the tropics of the Indies, both east and west, or the hard surface on the Rock of Gibraltar are no deterrent to the association foot ball player. The rules differ from their sister code of the Rugby Union as entirely as golf from shinn A circular ball, about the same size as that used in basket ball, is played with.

The attack is intrusted to the forwards, who have certain defined positions on the field, which they are not supposed to vary of their own accord. Individual play, w years ago developed such brillant. dr blers, is now discouraged as being inimic ‘opel it. This rule to team work, and “combination” {s the chief attainment de: A forward should he able to dexterously transfer the ball to one of hie com: on ing an op- ponent, with the inside or outside of his foot, a occasion may require, or, if play- ing on ore of the extreme wings, he should be able te place the ball in the mouth of the goal while running at full speed along the touchline, “Heading” the ball is another trick which all players should be able to master.

There are, however, certain ex- ceptions to the anplication of this rule. The ‘wintry- weather experienced yester- day in New York coukl hardly je consid- ered inviting for outdoor amusement, ye! this did not deter the association foot ball enthusiasts of New Jersey from turning out in gocdly numbers to witness the match scheduled at. Bayonne between the local Centreville team and the eleven rep- resenting the White Star Li ‘Teutonic. The latter hold the champion- ip among the various steamships running between the port of New York and Liver- pool or Southampton, each of which has a rdy list of players, many of whom are rried along” for their skill at the game, in which the officers take deep interest.

RENO, Nev., January 25.—Petitions are being circulated among the business men in different parts of the state praying the legislature now in session to license prize fighting and boxing contests, removing the barrier against them. Dan Stuart, the»fight promoter, is said to have been in Carson for several days, looking over the ;gituation. The present outlook for brin; off the Corbett-Fitz- simmons fight in’ this state is promising. Two or three desirwble sites not far off the line of the railroad are being talked about. Opening the, Base Ball Season. It is said thattthe base ball schedule, which is being drafted and which will be submitted to the I ue at its annual meet- ing in March, provides for the opening of che season on April) 24. This will give an- other week for practice. ‘This agreement, go it is stated, has been reached by most all, if not every sone, of the league mem- a That Merver-Rasie Deal. Yesterday's Cindignati Enquirer said: “If that trade of Mercer of the Washingtons for Amos Rusie,“mention of which was made in last Monday’s Enquirer, goes through, the New Yorks will have away the best end cf it,” said a well-known player yesterday. ‘Mercer, to start with, ien't a much worse pitcher than Ruste was ir his very prime. With a good team be- hind him he'll win nearly as many games as Rusle ever did, but bis pitching isn’t his only strong point. If Rusie falls down as a pitcher he is out of the game. If Mer- cer’s pitching arm,gets weak, he can fill scme other place. Jesse Burkett, Elmer Smith, George Van Haltren and several other good ball players started out as pitchers, failed in the box, and afterward made a name in other positicns. Mercer is one of that kind, He is a rattling good in or outfielder, hits well and gets down to first base like a McKean or a Tom Brown. No, sir, Mercer is. the better of the two. He is very young, but so is Rusie, for that matter. Both should be aoa for a somber of years to come.” W. A. C. Basket Ball Team Wins. ‘The Washington Athletic Club basket ball team and the team representing the Queer Wheelmen played a game Saturday evening and the surprise of the evening was the defeat of the Queers by 3 to 2.

At a meeting of the Yale Alumni Asso- ciation of New York, Friday night, a reso- lution was adopted, of which this is the substance: “That Yale is willing to go to any extent to resume athletic relations with Harvard, providing the conditions named by Harvard do not interfere with the faculty rules of Yale University. If Harvard is not willing to meet Yale under such conditions, then there seems to be no way by which athletic relations can be re- sumed, Won by Baltimore Bowlers. The series of howling matches between the Catholic Club of Baltimore and Carroll Institute of this city ended Saturday night at Baltimore with a victory for the i10- Me Club, which thereby won the series with five victories out of nine. Saturday night score games were: Cath Club, Carroll Institute, Ss Trying to Kill Foot Ball. Bills prohibiting the playing of foot ball ave been introduced in the legislatures of Indiana and Nebraska. Representative Patterson, who introduced the bill in In- diana, said that he thought more men ha been killed by foot ball than pugilism. The Nebraska bill provides that an¥ one playing foot ball shall, upon conviction, be fined $25 to $100, or be imprisoned not more than ihre months, or both; that a backer, umpire, reporter or onlooker Is liable to a fine of from $5 to $25, and that persons caught training for a foot ball match may be put under bonds to keep the peace.

Commissioners Hear Arguments for a Clerks’ Association. The Commissioners gave a public hearing this morning to those persons interested in the bill which has for its object the incor- poration of an association for the mutual protection and benefit of government em- ployes. Messr ward P, Hall and J. L. Waring, representing the incorporaturs of the scheme, were present and discussed the merits of the bill. They had talked with prominent business men and con- gressmen and found them all in sympathy with the proposition, It was well known that money sharks preyed upon govern- ent clerks and bled them with usurious rates of inte St. The passage of the bill would do away with this and put the clerks on a better basis. The bill does away with indorsements or placing clerks under obligations to each other, and creates a fund through which those who are so un- fcrtunate as to lose positions in the service will have something to fall back upon, ard rot require subscription from fellow clerks for maintenance. In a few years a share in such « fund as is proposed will be valuable. Another feature of the bill was that it enabled clerks to obtain loans at a low rate instead of paying, as now, more than the amount of the loan in one year in interest, and at the same time enabled them to save money through the saving fund while borrowing, which few cculd do otherwise. Again, it caused each borrower to contribute to the relief of his fellow clerks and discouraged borrowing mere than can be conveniently returned, in that loans are limited unless upon the rec- ommendation of the d Again, it enabled a large number of clerks to deal upon a cash ba: ving the heavy increase on goods for the sake of a little -redit, and enabled the thrifty to loan their rplus money through the association, in- stead of loaning {t among themselves and then running arouad the departments try. ing to collect from many who never Another reason urged why the bill should become a law was that it would reli disbursing officer to a great extent, in that there would be some reliable association to which ghose seeking advances on salaries could be directed., And, lastly, they urged that few, if any, borrowers will fail to mect the small monthly payments. The Commissioners found considerable to criticise ir. the bill, but believe that such ociation will do considerable good. ‘Trey referred the bill back to the a r with instructions to incorporate in it the necessary amendment: ——— DIED IN BROOKLYN. ‘bursing — officer. Rev. George Koenig Passed Away Yesterday. Rev. George Koenig, pastor of Trinity German Lutheran Ckurch, this city, dled yesterday morning of Bright's disease at the home of Mr Frederick C. Heskel, No. 100 Kent street, Brooklyn, N.Y., where he was visiting, in his thirty-fifth year. Mr. Koenig had been a sufferer from the complaint for some time, and on Monday of last week went to Brooklyn to consult a specialist. He became worse soon after his ‘rival, and on Friday his condition was so alarming that his wife was telegraphed for, and she was with her husband when he died. The deceased was the son of one of the best-known ministers of the denom- ination in the eastern section of the coun- try, and was himself equally popular. He was born October 29, 1862, in Cincinnad, Ohio, where his father then had a pastor- ate. He was graduated at Fort Wayne College, Indiana, in 1882, and received bis theological instruction in’ St. Louis. In 1885 he became assistant to his father, who, meanwhile, had been called to the pastorate of @ New York church. Since that time the son had: lectured in several fereign countries. He was ordained pastor of the church here April 19, 1896, It is ex- pected that the funeral will take place in Brooklyn Wednesday afternoon, and that a delegstion from this city will be present at the services. Mr. Koenig’s home in Washington was at 307 H street northwest. Seen An Assault Charge. On complaint of Emanuel Hanlein, Henry Kopp, a son of Constable Robert Kopp, was in the Police Court today to answer an information setting forth assault. The trouble resulted from the attachment of the stock in the store of Henry Hanlein, 709 &th street southeast. Young Kopp was placed in charge, and it was alleged the assault occurred while Emanuel Hanlein was being ejected from the establishment, after the judgment had been satisfied. ‘After hearing the statements of a number of witnesses on each side Judge Miller dis- missed the case. a Only Two Left. During his last visit to Washington Gen. Horace Porter called upon Col. Amos Web- ster at his residence, on F street, who is now quite an invalid. Gen. Porter and Col. Webster were both ofticers on Gen. Grant's staff, and the personal regard and friendship between them have been close since the war. These two officers are the sole survivors of Gen. Grant's personal staff. Points of Construction in (RAMBLER BICYCLES PLP P LOO OY About Strong Joints. Lap brazed joints, strengthened by fish-mouth outside rein- forcements, are the strongest joints known in bicycle construction. Fish-mouth outside reinforcement is used mainly to perform the office of a socket for attaching one tube to another, especially where one or both tubes are of a very light gauge. In brazing light tubes together, the intense heat necessary for the operation deprives the steel of its carbon, which is so vital an element contributing to the strength of the tubing. This renders the steel porous and crystalized by the intense heat. The fish-mouth socket has a distinct advantage over any other style of joint, in that it permits the use of somewhat thicker ma- terial in the reinforcement, to sustain, without injury, the great heat to which it is subjected in brazing. This form of joint is even more necessary where steel tubing is used which contains a greater percentage of carbon than where tubing having a lesser proportion of carbon is employed. Bicycle frames are subjected to great strains of vibration, and become weakened at the joints thereby, unless properly protect- ed. The vibration extends along the tubing toward the joints and is concentrated when met by the abrupt resistance of a rigid reinforcement, and the tube is thus weakened, often with fatal re- sults. This danger is obviated by the use of the outside fish-mouth socket which distributes the vibration from the tube to the rein- forcement in a graduated manner, that is, the vibrations are grad- ually absorbed, making fracture at the joint next to impossible. So much for reinforcements. For the joint proper there is ncthing so strong as lap brazing, because in its process, the supporting ‘tube is not weakened by drilling for the insertion of a forged connection, or a “thimble” stamping. On the other hand, the supporting tube is left intact, while the attaching tube end is “flared” around it, and is held in Pa at ae ss ey place, quite securely, even before brazing. After brazing it forms an absolutely perfect joint, the LIGHTEST AND STRONGEST known in bicycle frame construction. It may be interesting to know that at the World’s Columbian Exposition, an unbrazed lap-jointed RAMBLER frame was ex- hibited, and was highly praised and honored with a special award. The fish-mouth outside reinforcement, then introduced on RAM BLERS, has so favorably affected the construction of bicycle frames that it is now being copied by the more progressive wheel designers.
