LOCALS' MAKE-UP IN DOUBT Several of the C A. C. Reliables Will Probably Be Absent. ' Indications Point to a Very Interesting Con test at National Park Schenectady Eoys "Will Arrive To-morrow Evening.

Phil j King, George Brooke, "Will Church, nnd Hawley Taussig are all possible players, as they are eligible, being members of the C. A. 0. Those -who will be surely seen on the gridiron are: At right tackle Pat Wells, with hl3 170 I pounds, is sure to be on hand. Frank John eon is now in Philadelphia, but will come to time at his own position of left tackle. Dick inson, with 105 pounds in his favor, will show up. as heretofore, at richt guard, and H nknm.nn it- ir-lll tW Tilt- C.Or- responding position on the left of the line is l doubtful, and the name of the persons illl.ng it will not probably bo known until Monday. Gapen will, of course, fill center and can cer- tamly do it very creditably. Back of tbe ' line Jill is in doubt, with tbe exception of Shields and Lewis, and, of course, this put ting in of players at the last moment weak- j ens decidedly Columbia's chances of victory. The police arrangements for the game will preclude anv slugging or rough play, and Dotn teams uavo promise . iiui iu jiu u."j occasion for police mterlerence. Tho Union College eleven will arrive in this city Monday evening, an d, with their college friends, will stop at Wormley's. Many exrarsion.sts will arrive at the tame time. Tne coior of tho visiting team is garnet. The Coiumbia Athletic Club lias courteously tendered the pr.vilegos of their clubhouse to tho i nion team. Tho personnel of tho Union team is as follows: Brown is captain rnd quarterback. For tho past three years he p ayd a line game at tacklo, Lut to better Lau ile his men he has played at quarter this season. As a captain he h astute and prompt to see am ta-vO advautago of any weakness in the opi ononis' lino. Ho is cne of the hea lest ijiiarterbar-ks in the football nrena. Baker, lcrt hail back, lias excellently liiica , the po-dion for several years. Ho keeps well with his interference and has a good head on him. M J ers will play right hali back. Ho is ull of j.eed and frequently makes excel lent runs around the end. Hcplajsthe po sition with excellent judgment. itichards, as fu lback, is a steady, reliable player, and Lu -ks the line for good gains. Ho also kicks and punts One. Terry will be found at center. Although large he is one of tho quicKe3t men on tno team, nnd can be counted upon to hold his man. Blodgelt will Jill tho position of left guard, and with ability. Ho is brainy and ir.u6cular.aud has in addition thoreto avoirdu pois. Sweetland will play at right guard, and no doubt as creditably as in the past. Palmer, who willoe found at left tacnle, is qul'k to break through, and is excellent in leading the interference. For two years ho has played the position. Peters will play at right tackle, and no doubt in a manner to sus tain the reputation he gaiued wuen on tho "W ilnams College team. Mallory plays an ad mirable game at right end. Ho is quick as a cat and nlways follows Urn ball nnd tackles on the spot at which the ball may Lo caught. Pollock, left end. Is conversant with his duties and thoroughly capable of performing thorn.

Judging from his recent two per formances the groat sprinter is nga.n in the pink of condition, nnd if ho will bo able to negotiate tbe di&tanco in the Christmas hand icap on next Tuesday, tho purse seems to bo safe for him despite that ho has been harshly treated by tho handicappcr. Yesterday's racing wns witnessed by a largo crowd. Tho -neather was mild and tho high wind which blow over the grounds helped the racers to mako fast timo over the straight away course. Iho delays at tho post in the HrSt two races wore annoying, and tho conduct of the assist ant starter, while arranging tho two-year-olds in lino iu tho second raco in front of tho grand stand, was unbocomiug to a human be ing. This race was full of incidents and ac cidents. In the llrt place tho youngsters got off in stinggling order, Calista Leing loft standing still. Tho next to happen was that tho gelding Fencer fell nt tho upper turn, breaking his back. Lady Danby was crowdod to tho rail and Jockey Rust had his log badly cut and bruised.

Connors, who had been well backed to win the third race, had his chances spoiled by Jockey Taylor's bad mistake in attempting to move up near tho inner rail when ap proaching the lower turn, and when thoro was no chance for him to goj through. Tho closing event resulted in a pretty contest be tween Bluo Bird, Detroit, Frank R. Harf, and My Gyps, tho fornor passing My Gyps at the turn lor homo. Summaries: How the Horses Kan.

Dr. Brobst, of Lehigh county, Pa.-, visited Dr. Shade, having made arrangomonts to do so a few wcoks ngo, bringing a young man who had consumption for Dr. Sluide s opinion. They found paralysis and atrophy of tho left shoulder and tuberculosis diagnosed. This is a rare c:ist for tuberculosis to produce comploto paralysis of a Joint, while the patient Is nblo to be about und attend to business. Dr. Brobst consulted Dr. Shado be -a use while on a visit of eight months to turope ho was told in Vienna that tho mineral treatment as advo cated by Dr. Shade, of the. Tnitod States, waa undoubtedly the best treatment for tu iercu losis, and gave host results of any tre itmout l-o also visited Dr. Koch nt Borlin, and made in quiry of him what ho thought of Dr. Shado s plan of treating tnborculosis, tho minoral treat ment Dr. Koch said ho had not fully satisfied him aolf yot in regard to the minoral treatment, it having conio to his notice but latoly Dr. Urobst says Dr h do s plan of treatment is boms rapidly adopted throughout ISuropo.

Tho weok preceding tho great holiday time is always a quiet ono in athletic circles, nnd tho past week was no oxception. Many membors ot tho soveral organizations leavo town for their respoetlvo homes to spend tho holidays, and tho gymnasiums aro 'consequently quiet to a noticeable degree. Thoso who remain put in somo good hard practice and profit by it. When all clso is slopped and quiet, basket ball continues the ono feature which keeps tho gymnasium in motion, nnd to this game must be attributed tho fact that tho men are nt work in tho gymnasium who uovor boforo camo into it for exercise. Thoyseo that tho gamo not only gives them tho much-needod oxerciso, but tends to in creaso their interest In tho organizations to which they belong. Nothing tends so much to interest a membor of a club as tho fact that it will bo represented in a con test of this or lhat nature, and if he is interested at all ho strives at onco to do all he can to better its chances for winning that contest.

On these practice nights thoro is always u largo number of interested lookers-on. As a rule, those men who do some special work, such as hiuh jumping or acrobatics, do not enter into tile game for the reason that they do not can? to bo temporarily stiffened and thus break into their training and work. hOME HULKS OK THE OAMK.

At a mcetinc of the Federation of Labor on Tuesday evening last the Itgis.ative commit tee, consisting of George O. Cook, nnd M. P.
