In the first place It should be understood that the American Baseball und Athletic 1 Exhibition Coinpmy. tne corpuraus micui tho St. Louis Baseball Club, is a solvent In- ; stltution. It is tr.c property of three very , rich men. millionaires in tact, trunk do ; Hus3 Roblson and Jlathew Stanley Booisoi.. ; lirothtrs. both of Cleveland, and fed n aid , C. Becker of St. Louis. The Messrs. Roil- . 1 eon are stjeet railroad men of great note ! and large interest. Mr. Becker is u local I capitalist, of whom it is said that he can ; lay his hands quicker on more ready money than any man In Su Louis.

I havo hedrd . that there has Mr. Becker does not approve ot the manner In which the club has bten conducted, and that he has refused to put any more of his good money Into It unuer present circum stances. It is stated taat the Messrs. Itobl jton havo their pro rata of the deficit mace In the club's finances by the expensive and unsuccessful season of 1900 ready, and are eager to pay It, but Mr. Becker refuses to contribute his share until certain condi !... nnt ttillv Rpt forth arc fulfilled. In fact it is tald that Mr. Becker des.rc3 either to bo bought out of the club or to buy his partners out. Mr. Becker nas been a good deal of a silent partner in the o.uo. though a very interested one. While tie. rc- elding in St. Louis, attended every local ; game plaved by tile St. Ljuis club last fcta pon. he did net liave anything to say In tho management of the team. That part of It ivas in the province or ttie 1 uera. oo """.If" . - 5r T.nnt Mr. Becker take3 a deal of personal Inter est In basi ball. Since he retired from busi ness some ten years ago it has been his hobby and recreation. Ho is as devoted 10 the game itself as a crank on the bleach ers. Tho Messrs. KOUlson are oaseua.i magnates; men 01 many Interests, who 1 take a club owner's, but scarcely a specta tor s. interest In tn game. It has been known that Mr. Becker and the Messrs. Roblson have not alvvuys ex nctly harmonized on matters of club policy, though they have been very good friends and stanch partners. Mr. Becker always opposed ex-Manager ' Tebeau's plans and policies, whereas Mr. Tebeau always had the unstinted approval and unlimited couudelico of the Messrs. Roblson in anything he did. In tho employ ment and release of players, their disposi tion and management, Mr. Beckir has had strong Ideas of his own. which have not chimed with those of the men wjio have managed the club in wn.cn HP is tit srest Unlike the Robisons, who will sit still and tiasslve under tryin: circumstances, Al: Becker is a man who will not long cnduie what he deems mistakes of his employes or associates. Mr. Becker Is not a man who will wait for things to work out tr-.-ir own ralvation. 11 believes in forcing them. He does nut like the manner in which the St. Louis club lias been operated. Hence ha wants to get out or be given solo control of the club. This is what Is cotnmonlv said bv persons Interested in the nitairs of the club. Thus, by refusing to be held liable for the assessments levied by the club to meet the detlclt caused by the money lost last season. Mr. Becker hopes to bring ui.-out a radical change In the uffairs of tho St. Louis club. When seen by a Republic renorter rrstar day. Mr. Beek"r said that lie had nbsoUre ly no disagreement with the Ms:-s. Ribi son. He was asked if he had refused to il-low- his stock to be assessed for his sir' re of the debts of the corporation, and If Mr. Roblson did not propose to sue and com iel him to do so by process of law. Mr. Re.-ker ; stated that he had hrard of no such suit. and added that there would not bo any such istiit brought, though he did not denv Hi it lie had refused to be held liable for nnv part of the debts of the club contracted in tho last tu-ason. "Naturally enough tho club lost mim " said Mr. Becker, "owing to the street rail way men's strike and other tbincs. but !iv amount wsa not so awfully large. It will all bo paid off very soon. As far ns owing money to players goes I do not th:nk that the club owes- any player more than 75 which Mr. Roblson retained as punithmeiit for offenses against club rules during the stason." For the last wrek Mr. Robison's private attorney. Judge Russell, of cl"vela:fd. hai been In town. Mr. Russell is a man who" lime I3 worth money, and he soatce is in St. Louis for his health. John II.

Mr. Heilbroner Is ini0 ttie Irishman's donkey, a. gay soul and a EW.et singer, and St. Louis la glad to have him all the time. Politician John O'Connor, the Crokcr of tho North Side, Is home from Pittsburg. The diamonds on Johnnie's wind pad blaze like tiie electric headlight of the Knicker bocker special Harry McGuIro sends out of St. Louis ever- day. It was a very' guod season for Jack. Jittsburg treated him royally. Between a split of purchase-money, salary, bonuses and gifts of one kind or another the gentle Jackcen Is some ftW richer than he was last fall. Criger und Robinson, yea, even Shreckcngost. Buelow and Crazy Butler, may be. better catchers than Jack, but they don't seem to get the j money for doing it as hG does. As a rula you will lind that "con" and "bluff" got very little In baseball. So John must have thu goods on him somewhere, for ho gets tho .'money. The counting out of Louisville as a base ball town Is ono of the unremarked features of the fall season. The Kentucky metrop olis never was much of a baseball town. Now they say that It Is a bad racing town, l-io. If this Is so Louisville must be a sad libel on the Kentucklan, who was, or is supposed to bo or have been, the sports man proper of America. The bluegrass Is euppnscd to beget the thoroughbred and the sportsman. Mayhap it does, but thev do pot stay at home. Kentucky, with ail it? wealth of past prestige and present affluence, does not support a slnglo race tra'-k or hoise race worthy of the name, nor Is tbe-o within Its confines a baseball club of even 'steenth class caliber. Maybe the men of the "dark and bloody ground" are set on sterner things. The lilting trickle of the cool spring water over tho Hniior- I ful "worm" of tho secret still, and the startling hiss of tho feud-sped bullet may havo charms for the Kentucklan far str .nger than the zlng-rlng uf the binglo and thu shaip crack of the riding whip on the struining flanks of his vaunted thor oughbred. Anyliuv. no league, no team so loor as wants Louisville und no horso so bad, no sportsman so poor that he wants to run In Kentucky. The old State seems to be the Ireland of America. It produces tho bravest men, the handsomest women, the fastest horses, the most desperate fighters, but none of them stay at home. Bonlfuce Bill Joyce, the portly, beneficent and entertaining member of the mlxlological tc.m of Joyce and Tebeau. waxes fat and rj-y apace. Willie, now ponderous or weight and wldo about tho shoulders, and with cheeks of a moon's full width and tulip tinge, still entertains the passing looter as he ambles through thu town. Willie takes l,ood care of Joyce, for he has always felt that Joyce is a dickens of a good, smort fellow and Willie's best friend, bar. perhaps, his th.ck bankbook. BUI lias a business bond perched Jauntily between his broad shoulder?:. He may have tackled hot propo st tons sped from the bats of Dclehantys, Burketts and Jennlngscs in days of yore when Andy Freedm-in thought there was one great man left on earth and his name was Joyce. These hot things may havo eluded Bill's grappling hooks, and ignorant scorers may have handed Willie an un earned error. But In a business way Joyce never made ".n error in his life. He is like Husell Sage. He has a way of getting the "cush" and lettinc it stlfk m him th.nt la something wonderful. Whenever a dollar pts to v llliam It hitches Itself with a rab bi r string llko that used by pantomimic artists. If William tosses It away to an im portunate mendicant, as he often does, the string stretches, thon asserts Its tractivo power and the coin rebounds back to tho warm pocket it loves so well.

Articles of agree ment for a match between Gus Ruliltn and Jim Jcfrle3 were to-day scut to Billy Mad den. As It was understood that Tom Shaikey was to take second place if either Fitzsim mons or Ruhlln were matched against Jef fries, and, as the sailor agreed to this, the match between JefTries and Rulilin will take placo on tho dato originally settled upon for the Sharkey match somo tlmo during the month of May. Tho Jcffrien and Sharkey match is still on and will be fought one month after the Ruhlln affair. Billy Madden wlird Al Smith to-day that he would send on a check for ?J,5j0 imme diately as a forfeit to bind tho match. Brady then decided that Ruhlln means business, and forwarded the articles. There Is still some doubt of Madden or Ruhlin being willing to accept the terms "winner lake all," but Brady suys those conditions are in the articles forwarded to Ruhlin, and there will be no light between the men unless the terms are accepted. A dispatch from Chicago to-day says that ; u Houseman claims to have been author- : Lou : ized by Billy Brady to match Jeffries against Corbett for a six-round bout In Chicago in January, and that Corbett has already tlsnt-d the articlts which havo been for- war(jea to Brady for Jcffries's signature.

"I never gut a chance that night to find out how good Broad was," White told h.s friends. "The news of the diath was brought to us Just before time vvat called and both of us knew that tho light woinil be stopped. Therefore, neither of 113 did much but wait for thu police." White is in doubt about ever fighting again. His ankle, which was so badly in jured In his second light with McGov-ern in Now Y'ork. still gives him some trouble. "You sec. there would be money only in fichting such men ns McGovern and Broad," Is the way ho philosophizes about the situ ation, "and they arc so tough that there Is a pretty good chance for a man to get a whipping, and that does not do much good to anybody."

He lost the sixth holo by sl.urt putting, and was 2 up and 3 to go. On the seventh green lie put the ball down fairly on the like and had the match won, but it Sfijiued as if somu invisible agency threw tin' sphere out of the very bottom of the cup ana the hole was halved. Doume two, lie was "dead" to the eighth hole with .us second, as was his opponent. But he put past on the like, and playing tt.e odd again put the bull in the cup, only toh.ivi.it jump out once mote, losing the hole .". to 1.

While the pints ho failed to pull off were not cinches and might lie ini.-sed by any one, to miss live putts all between three and live hot in dL-tancc is something 10 maikalile.

Yale's 'varsity football cloven had Its flr.al practice this evening lor tho game with Trinceton. It was all secret work. For nearly halt of tho forty-five minutes of play the eleven wa tried on defence. The college side was given the ball aii'l ordered to-advanco it, part of the time by end plays. That method failed almost every time It was tried. "Pake" plays proved fu tile, too, and finally line-bucking: was tried fmm tlio firieen-yard line, fourteen men vero stnt against the 'varsity from that point und were held for downs. After nine attempts, tho ball was finally taken over for a touchdown. The final gain was roada through Olcott, center, and "Dick" Sheldon, right guard. As Captain Erown and Bloomer were not In the 'varsity line, it was not Yale's best team, and, considering the fact that tho ".scrubs" were favored In the holding of tho ball after they lost it on downs, the coach ing staff seemed well pleased with the 'varsity defense. The hard work was against tho advice of Murphy, tho trainer, who 1" distres.sh.gly nervous. Tho work to-morrow will consist of a short signal practice. Tho team and lir.-t substitutes will leave for New York In tho afternoon, and will remain there until Saturday morning, go ing to i'rlnceton on u special car. There aro two places In the line in doubt left tacklo and right end. Ralterty may precede Coy at end and Hamilton go in betoro Bloomer at tackle. Tho team will probably go into tho game as follows: Left end, Gould; left tackle. Bloomer; left guard. Captain Brown; center, (jlcott; right guard, Sheldon; right tackle, Stilhnon; right end. Coy; quarter back. Wear; left half, l'lncke or Shurpo; right hall". Cook or Cliadwick, und lull back, Hale. '1 he determination of .Princeton to play Reiter will probably not causo Yalo to pro test.

Tho Tiger.' had a brief, light practlco this evening. It con sisted almost entirely of signal drills, and, although the utmost secrecy was main tained, it is believed that the men appear to be In satisfactory form, Judging trom the cheerfulness of the coaches. Although the line-up tor Saturday has not yet been given out by Captain 1'cll. the opinion seems to bo that the team will not bo constituted quite as It was In the game against Coluinblu. Several of the substi tute players have shown up remarkably well within the last week and may super sede the men who have all along been con sidered jut regulars. Montgomery is one of the substitutes who has taken a. billllant spurt in his work at left end. and stands a good chance of get ting a try at Vale. Kelly has done swift cihi work lately, and there !. a possibility ot his being in the line-up. Mills, at guurd, probably "ill supersede Dunn, as the lat ter has not entirely tecovered from the flesh wound which has kept him uut of practice for a week or more. Davis has been playing equally well at end and tackle and mav be ono of the line men. Most of the players have recovered frtm their temporary stateness. All Indication.! are for full grand stands at the game.

Much IntercKt MimifcMcil In Their Annual Football Game. itr.runLif special. Washington. Nov. 15. In anticipation of the game to bo played with Georgetown Saturday, the University of Virginia has for the past week put forth extraordinary erforts at practice. Tho coaching corps has been materially ftrensthened by the arrival of riaunders Taylor, the famous quarter back of the team of 1S9). This va.uablo acquisition has given Virginia a quartet of coaches Hoxton. Cocke, Tay lor and Moore. Tho men realize that they will havo to light hard to win from Georgetown, us the tlireo struggle of last year, which resulted in a scoro of 0 to 0, linn not yet been forgotten. Confidence has been croatly Increased by the tine showing made under the "new Une-up" in tho gamo last Saturday with Gallaudct College, Vlrgii.ia put up as line a. game as was ever witnessed In Char iot: civille, while Gallaudet played hard and bteudy. and died lighting bravely. Several marked improvements wero no tired during Saturday's, game. Virginia has lnvprovi d greatly In her team and individual work, duo to the steady practicing of the past week. Several positions on tha team have been hotly contested for. and even up to this late dato the management is in 11 dilemma as to who aro the best men for some of tho places. Wnlker's new position as full back Is assured. He kicks well and is looked upon by Hie men as a sure ground gainer. Ho bids fair to become the star of tho team. Dabney H doing excellent work at left half, and his position is also secure. He Is one of tho stara ot this year's team, and his presence 13 well-nigh Indispensable. There is a lively rivalry tor tho position of right half back on the reg ular team. Coleman is, of course. In the lead, but the splendid playing of Johnson has made a strong impreaston. Carroll alfJ is up in the bunch, and his fine work has also been favorably commented upon. Coach Bull was ablo to Judge from last Saturday's game tho main defects in the Georgetown team, which were mostly in thu end plays, In which Georgetown was very weak, and ho will give careful attention to this point. The lino punting done by Devlin on Saturday encouraged Coach Bull so greatly that it Is evident he will us? Devlin a good deal next Saturday at National Park. Tho student body of the college wero 50 encouraged by Saturday's victory over V. 31.

It their plans do not miscarry the rr.an asement of the Washington University foot ball eleven will trot out a strong array of talent for the big Thanksgiving Day game with the C. B. C. Van Vleck and Kiely, two of the best half backs west ot Chicago, arc expected to help out Washington In tho gamo with C. B. C. Since his election to the captaincy of the Washington tram. Joe Nutz is also relied on to play In the Thanksgiving Day game. Elbrecht. a big athlete, who gives promise of developing Into a good football player, probably will replace Roy Ellers at rP;ht guard, while Benner or Downey probaoiy will succeed Smith at full back. Van Vleck Is the Smith Academy coach. He played with Washington against 3Iis pouri. and his work was the Individual fea ture of the contest. Van Vleck. in ndditton to being Smith's football coach. Is a regular student at Washington University. After ho played with Washington against Missouri, some of tho local football wTiteru commented on the fact in u manner that Van Vleck did not relish. In view of this fjct. there is a chanco that the Washington management may ex perience trouble in obtaining Van VIeck's consent to play with its team Thanksgiving Day. Washington may r.lso have trouble getting Kiely for the C. B. C game. Kiely is a law student at Washington, and a teacher at the St. Louis University. The St. Louis University in getting up a strong picked team to play Marlon-Sims Thanksgiving liar. and. according to re ports, the students expert to take Kiely away from Washington. The Io?s of these two men will weaken the Washington team, greatly. MA.M'AI. WILL TIloniLH lllfill. t'riiinlnt; School IIiitri Improving Willi Ilcninrkiilile Itnpiilily.

To-day tiiiii i.'iH v.iiii Lirj nurwiit.-.i.- ..w. , thr- sam.: laUs are putting i.p a game uuu m j do justice to any eP-ven In tins locality. The fact that the Manuals have been pniitl callv without a coach and have developed their own plays makes tneir snowing an the more meritorious. It was stated at the beginning of the season that .Manual would beat no one If she did not learn new plays, as at that time tile boys could do nothing but buck the line. In the game against Smith A' ademy they bucked the line continually and did not once try an end run. . , Yesterday utternoon the Manual team went to Pastime Bark In De Hodiamont and iined up against eight of the Marion Sims players. The showing the lads made was lemarkabli'. They had no trouble in scoring several times on the eight medicos, who played on the defensive altogether. New plavs were th- feature", as the "ICnlrhts nf tin- 1-athi" fooled the mcdiean students time and ng.nn. Their Inter! er jnee j was at times perflation, and in line bu.'K- j Ing thev have Improved fully per cent. Sutherland. the Marlon-sUms center, played that position for Manual, as h-r cen ter was ab.-eiit. In return, one of tht Manual players went to tacklo for the Mf-dicos. If .Manual Training School plays the kind 0 a game It has been putting up against Washington University for several days and against the Marion-Sims aggregation yes terdav. High School will have the hardest struggle of the intersoholattic season to win. Confidence will eut a large figure in j the final :-core. as High lias gene through j the season practically without defeat. The j early games rlayd by the public school I boys hardly count for anything, as tlvy are j playing twice as good a game to-day as thev were in Stntember. They will step oil the Held thoroughly confident ot their ability to defeat the Washington avenue "Tigers." Manual Training School, on the other hanfl. has won but a single game, that against Western Military Academy. She beat tho Alton Cadets rather handily, how- ,'er. and on the shov.inc of that game alone lias an even chanco against lliirh. Manual is improving every day. and has all of her' bmt men fit to play, although Robinson and Carton laid off Vestordav. High School will I have several cripples lined up on the Pastime gridiron to-morrow afternoon. Tom Henry probablv will play, notwithstanding the fact that he has been unable to walk I without the aid of a cane for the last week. Johnnv Lamb may be In at center, but has a weak shoulder that Is liable to go back on him at any time. Bob Kinsey, the full back and all-round star, will play, but Is bound to puffer all through the game. His shoulder is so sore that he will not feel much like hitting a line. North Jloore is not up to a hard game, as a result of the hrulsc-3 he received in the McKendrt-e game early In the fall. Moore did not give his hurts time enough to heal, and in conse quence will not be fit this season. Erskine has an able hUbstitute at right end in Nicholson, who can be relitd upon to do good work Just when It Is neded. Surmises have been the feature of this football sea.-on and a big ono may be given to High School followers to-morrow, al though the veterans of that school should come off victorious. MEDICOS SUFFERING A SLU.MP. Several of the Best Plnyer.i Injnred mill One Is Sick. Jlarion-Sims's football team is at present suffering the inevitable slump that seems to come to every eleven at least once In a season. Three of tho medicos' best men aro on the shelf, while another Is really unlit to pluy a hard game. Howard lim. full back and star of tho team, has his left arm in a sling, as a re sult of the gamo with the Barnes Medics last Saturday. The muscles were torn from the bone, and Pirn's arm 1.5 almost useless, although he says he will play to-morrow it his team can get a game. Bob LeCron has bten sick abed for the last three or four days. He will bo unable to participate in tho practice for a week. 3Ial Hoolan was hurt in the Christian Brothers' game two weeks ago and has not. donned the mole skin since then. He Is comiiu around nice ly, however, so he should be Ut by the 21th. Ham Sutherland works every day. but one of his kr.ees Is swollen out ot all proportion and Is really so bad that he, too. shuuld be out of the game. All in all, the medico" are In a bad way and would be rather easj picking for a good eleven to-morrow. They weie to have played the team of Carhondale. 111., but tho game slipped througli by somo misunderstanding-. The game wHth the Denver Wheel Club is oir ror gooa. ine coiorauo ooys wero scheduled to play a game with Chicago University on Thanksgiving Day and in tended t tie up with the .Medicos on No vember 21, to till In a date for the trip. The Chicago game has been canceled and the Denver prople now demand 51,21.0 guar anteo to come to St. 'Louis. As that is more thati the total gross receipts of all the rugby games that have been played in St. Louis this season, it Is not likely that the Marion-Sims boys will overwork them selves In a vain effort to raise the amount asked. Gwynne Evans has Joined the eleven, but Is unable to practice In the afternoon. Ku will play in the one iramo that his team has scheduled this fall, that with St. Louis University undergraduates ar.d Alumni. But three of the Alutnrl will be In the game. Gros?, Kieley and Jim Klnsolla. aecording to the present plans. HIG DELEGATION COMING. Itiillu Will .Send Hooters With Her Football TcuiiiM. The School of 3IIr.es of Rolla will scnl a largo delegation of rooters to St. Louis to morrow with its two football teams, which will play here that day. The first Rolla team will tackle the St. Louis University eleven In the afternoon at Atheletie Park, while tho tccond Rolla team will meet the strong Smith Academy eleven at Atheistic Park to-morrow morning. The railroads running from Rolla to St. Ixiuis have made a special rate for the benefit of the School of Mines students who are anxious to make the trip, and, ac cording to advices from that point, several hundred miners with a brass band to mako tilings lively will be on hand when thu play begins. Theodore Bland, the old C. B. C. and Washington player, is coaching the Rolla team, which has met and vanquished both C. B. C. and Washington University this fall. The Rolla .Miners beat C. B. C. by a score of 6 to 0, and won from Washing ton by a score of 11 to o. SL Louin University has the strongest football eleven in the history of the Insti tution tn recent years. The team made an oven break with C. B. C. team iii the first halt of last Saturday's struggle and the. b jys are confident of doing as well, if not bet ter, against Rolla. C. B. C. and Rolla aro very evenly matched. It ccrtainlv looks as though St. I,oii!s University ought to make things Interesting for the Rolla Min ers for awhile at least.
