Several Records Broken at the Fall Ath- letic Games. Yale's athletic games were played at the Yale field Oct. 20 and there were more spectators pre- sent than at any previous meeting. There were two records broken. The track was in excellent condition and tho day was vary ploisant. There was, however, quite a stiff bre»re up the track, which materially interfered with making short time on the part of sorae of the runners. Be- sides the two Yale records broken there was one intercollegiate record tied. It was, however, won from a five yards handicap.

Boss, the professional athlete, has made against M. W. Ford, the well- known amateur athlete, hare caused a great stir in the athletic world. The charges are that Ford, on July 5, at Springfield, Mass., competed in the Caledonian games under the name of T. Williams, of Baltimore, and that he won and re- ceived $25 in money priaes. E. W. Johnson, the trainer of the Brooklyn Athletic Association, is very positive th it Ford did compete. He claims to have got Ford up a rig to wear on that occasion, and that Ford confessed to hiai after his return thnt he ran aa T. Williams, and re- ceived $25 in money as his winnings. Duriag the past week Johnson went up to Springfield, and claims to hare obtained positive proof that Ford U a professional. Ford denies everything, and lays that at the proper time he will bring parties who were present at the Springleld games and who claim to know him well, who will swear that T. Williams was not M. W. Ford. Mr. Grant, who is connected With the Boston Caledonian Club, who knows Ford well and who acted as a judge at the'games, says Williams was not Ford. He "eudsa list contain- ing thirty-two names to back his opinion. The N. A. A. A. will take the matter np at their next meeting, and they will no doubt sift the matter to the bottom. George Going to Australia Toe. W. G. George has intimated his acceptance of the challenge to him which appeared in our columns recently from T. M. Malone. George i) willing to rnn Malone in Australia over three distances, viz., 600 yards, S'SO yards and 1,000 yard', if he receives £100 for expenses. There will be no difficulty ia this, as it U embodied in the terms of Mr. Malone's challenge as conveyed to as for the arrangement of the match. We have just heard from Mr. Ca»idy, Malooe's backer. that in the event of George desiring to tun in £ng- jaad he (Malone) would leave Australia eaily in Feb. ruary. Malone has opened a monster sporting resort in .Sjdary, ajad is spending a lar^e sum of money on the layitjg down of an athletic track in connection with it. II- r« he will hold a grand athletic entertain ment at Christmas, the principal item of which will be a 100 yardi race, open U> all the world, for a purse of $2.504, which Mahius will present himself. Between Iluchens and George, not to mention the probable an- tagonism of Xyers, the Irishman should have his baads pr^T foU fa* 9eme time. — itubUn Sportsman. The Same Old Double Cross.

That Michael Phelao, the honored and universally acknowledged rather of Ameri- ca* billiards, ootJd not create .-«ou aa organiza- tion in his day does not prove that he did not wish to do .

That Mr. CollenJer took a very great interest in making this association a success before his house waa consolidated with that of the Bruns- wiak aad LiaJke Company, remains to the credit of Mr. Collender. And that Mr. Troesther would more than journey all the way to this oity at the present day to bo present at such a meeting if the tiro hou-'es were what they tbr- •aerlT wer»—rivals—&nd not what they are now —one—no one will presume to question. Such then being the cafe, it was clearly more than ever the duty ot these men to show the billiard world that while they are S'j anx : .ous to be tho leading repreaectativ&a of tho manufacturing business in this country, they should also show the same world that they arc no less indifferent in aiding so worthy a cause than if they were rivals in business as formally. There are other reasons, however, independ- ent of those which we have n:iined, why these men should take more than an indifferent in- terest in si: .-h an or^anizatioD. Mr. Co'lender, in the tirrt pUce, i* bey .nd :u>y doTibi th« richest man living in the billiard »\ rM tit the present day, while Mr. Troeecher has the reputation of being worth $100,000. That both Coil, uder and Trcescher are in- debted to the billiard world for their Kcallh—and Troescher'jj fortune is a m-?ro flfa-bite compared with Colleudei'ri—even thaso gentle*aen will not deny. Independent of this fart, h-owerer, tbe National Bil- liard Association conferred npon Mr. Collei der tbe honor of making him its fre-rdent for a term of two years, while Mr Troercljer was honored with tbe position of vice president shortly after be lecame a nu-mber. It i^ true that these rositkms wsre aot sought for. Neither was OPSVT';* crown, bet it is equally true that they were not r(-je^t«d, aed if the National Billiard Association did not thrice offer the crown To Cwsar, it was owing to tho fact that there are more grateful Cce-wrs ia the year of 18S6 tliaa tbere were some nineteen hundred years ago, i.r even in 1879, wbeu Oolknder Slid Titeacher fouud it to their canrnal interest to diriae their crown between them. i • r and T r n«e- q, n mil.-.: - t •- . - ......... .^- ....._ _...... .....

SIMON WASP. ROOM FOR ALL. Some Friendly Advice to Schaefer and Baldwin. No careful observer of the events in the bil- liard world of to-day can have failed to escape the fact that thaje is just now a good deal of bad blood, or professional jealousy, existing be- tween two rival room-keepers in St. Louis, namely, the room condacted by Samuel Baldwin and that room so recently opened there by Messrs. Roche and Schaefer. At this distance it is, of course, im]x>ssible to stat« who is in the right and who in the wrong. It is possible that both are right, and yet it may be just possible that both are in the wrong. To a certain extent, we believe the latter to be tbe case. In the first place, Jacob Schaefer, accuse him of whatever other crimes we may — for being a professional man he cannot escape calumny — baa never yet been accused of trying to wantonly injure or de- stroy the business, traffic or trade &f any other room. Such, dent thai a room in St. Louis us Mr. Baldwin or anyone else. Neither are we conscious or aware of the fact that Mr. Baldwin is trying to ruin the trade of 3;h»efoi's room. We only h now, and we regret to havr* to s'ate it, th^t ^uch \"Aty scandal) a boat these room keepers have found their way into the public prints as should cause both Schaefer and BaMwin to be put to the bln*h of fh«ai»>. If the scandal- or rum on in question are without foundation, n<, thing is more ea*y than to have both SctuMrfrr and BaMwfu de- nounce them through the public prees in a card bear- ing lh*ir name*. One thing ia certain, that the presence of Jacob Schaefer at room-keeper or export in any city can Dot but be of great benefit to [•rofewiooul billiards at large ID such a dty, and it is idle to, or worse than mad u ess, to suppose that the room hearing hia Lame -in St. .Louis nill be tho only one there to do bujiueos. The truth u that the public care no more for Schiefer than they do for BaMwiu. Schaef? r may b« a sort of en- rioeity fur the time being In St. Louis, just as he would be in any other city. Those, hcwever, who are cartons to see him, will soon satisfy their curiusitv, inasmuch as that thty will simply find him uo different from themselves. A more man, in fact; DO better or worse than ttumaelTes. If the St. Louta amateurs, those who support billiard ro i ras, know how a billiard room should be managed, which we strongly suspect to be the ca», Schacfer's room will suon be deserted if it Is worse managed than -Baldwin's. While the latter, who Laa a fine reputa- tion as a room-keeper, should be only too glad to wel- come so gifted an expert as Schaefer is to Infuse new life Into th-, Nu.-dDPM in St. Louitt. It is to Iw regretted tli v rand Baldwin cannot k are St. Louis an >rge uziJ elegant r omfl in this city. JILL - -. -. _. , .La has tired of them, for we do not be- lieve auth iu be the ca&e, but that we have neter hod eoough rvoma ia this city. Let Schaefer and Baldwin put their foot down on all petty jealousy and show their great city that, as .room- keepers, they can de-serve thfir ah*ro of it* grwrtnbM by twlug above all jealousy «nd spite. _ ____ , then, being the case, it ia clearly evi- at he Las just •£ uiiich right to manage and Schaefer Matched.

Several Records Broken at the Fall Ath­ letic Games.

Yale's athletic games were played at the Yale field Oct. 20 and there were more spectators pre­ sent than at any previous meeting. There were two records broken. The track was in excellent condition and tho day was vary ploisant. There was, however, quite a stiff bre»re up the track, which materially interfered with making short time on the part of sorae of the runners. Be­ sides the two Yale records broken there was one intercollegiate record tied. It was, however, won from a five yards handicap. Keturn:

Latest Derelopmeats Anent the ChargesAgraiD^t Him.

The charges that Cleo. Boss, the professional athlete, has made against M. W. Ford, the well- known amateur athlete, hare caused a great stir in the athletic world. The charges are that Ford, on July 5, at Springfield, Mass., competed in the Caledonian games under the name of T. Williams, of Baltimore, and that he won and re­ ceived $25 in money priaes. E. W. Johnson, the trainer of the Brooklyn Athletic Association, is very positive th it Ford did compete. He claims to have got Ford up a rig to wear on that occasion, and that Ford confessed to hiai after his return thnt he ran aa T. Williams, and re­ ceived $25 in money as his winnings. Duriag the past week Johnson went up to Springfield, and claims to hare obtained positive proof that Ford U a professional. Ford denies everything, and lays that at the proper time he will bring parties who were present at the Springleld games and who claim to know him well, who will swear that T. Williams was not M. W. Ford. Mr. Grant, who is connected With the Boston Caledonian Club, who knows Ford well and who acted as a judge at the'games, says Williams was not Ford. He "eudsa list contain­ ing thirty-two names to back his opinion. The N. A. A. A. will take the matter np at their next meeting, and they will no doubt sift the matter to the bottom.

George Going to Australia Toe.W. G. George has intimated his acceptance of

the challenge to him which appeared in our columns recently from T. M. Malone. George i) willing to rnn Malone in Australia over three distances, viz., 600 yards, S'SO yards and 1,000 yard', if he receives £100 for expenses. There will be no difficulty ia this, as it U embodied in the terms of Mr. Malone's challenge as conveyed to as for the arrangement of the match. We have just heard from Mr. Ca»idy, Malooe's backer. that in the event of George desiring to tun in £ng- jaad he (Malone) would leave Australia eaily in Feb. ruary. Malone has opened a monster sporting resort in .Sjdary, ajad is spending a lar^e sum of money on the layitjg down of an athletic track in connection with it. II- r« he will hold a grand athletic entertain ment at Christmas, the principal item of which will be a 100 yardi race, open U> all the world, for a purse of $2.504, which Mahius will present himself. Between Iluchens and George, not to mention the probable an­ tagonism of Xyers, the Irishman should have his baads pr^T foU fa* 9eme time. — itubUn Sportsman.

That Michael Phelao, the honored and universally acknowledged rather of Ameri­ ca* billiards, ootJd not create .-«ou aa organiza­ tion in his day does not prove that he did not wish to do .Jo, for such in tiact was the ouse.

That Mr. CollenJer took a very great interest in making this association a success before his house waa consolidated with that of the Bruns- wiak aad LiaJke Company, remains to the credit of Mr. Collender. And that Mr. Troesther would more than journey all the way to this oity at the present day to bo present at such a meeting if the tiro hou-'es were what they tbr-•aerlT wer»—rivals—&nd not what they are now—one—no one will presume to question. Such then being the cafe, it was clearly more than ever the duty ot these men to show the billiard world that while they are S'j anx :.ous to be tho leading repreaectativ&a of tho manufacturing business in this country, they should also show the same world that they arc no less indifferent in aiding so worthy a cause than if they were rivals in business as formally.

There are other reasons, however, independ­ ent of those which we have n:iined, why these men should take more than an indifferent in­ terest in si: .-h an or^anizatioD. Mr. Co'lender, in the tirrt pUce, i* bey .nd :u>y doTibi th« richest man living in the billiard »\ rM tit the present day, while Mr. Troeecher has the reputation of being worth $100,000. That both Coil, uder and Trcescher are in­ debted to the billiard world for their Kcallh—and Troescher'jj fortune is a m-?ro flfa-bite compared with Colleudei'ri—even thaso gentle*aen will not deny.

Independent of this fart, h-owerer, tbe National Bil­ liard Association conferred npon Mr. Collei der tbe honor of making him its fre-rdent for a term of two years, while Mr Troercljer was honored with tbe position of vice president shortly after be lecame a nu-mber. It i^ true that these rositkms wsre aot sought for. Neither was OPSVT';* crown, bet it is equally true that they were not r(-je^t«d, aed if the National Billiard Association did not thrice offer the crown To Cwsar, it was owing to tho fact that there are more grateful Cce-wrs ia the year of 18S6 tliaa tbere were some nineteen hundred years ago, i.r even in 1879, wbeu Oolknder Slid Titeacher fouud it to their canrnal interest to diriae their crown between them.

ROOM FOR ALL.

Some Friendly Advice to Schaefer and Baldwin.

No careful observer of the events in the bil­ liard world of to-day can have failed to escape the fact that thaje is just now a good deal of bad blood, or professional jealousy, existing be­ tween two rival room-keepers in St. Louis, namely, the room condacted by Samuel Baldwin and that room so recently opened there by Messrs. Roche and Schaefer. At this distance it is, of course, im]x>ssible to stat« who is in the right and who in the wrong. It is possible that both are right, and yet it may be just possible that both are in the wrong. To a certain extent, we believe the latter to be tbe case. In the first place, Jacob Schaefer, accuse him of whatever other crimes we may — for being a professional man he cannot escape calumny — baa never yet been accused of trying to wantonly injure or de­ stroy the business, traffic or trade &f any other room.

Such, dent thaia room in St. Louis us Mr. Baldwin or anyone else. Neither are we conscious or aware of the fact that Mr. Baldwin is trying to ruin the trade of 3;h»efoi's room. We only h now, and we regret to havr* to s'ate it, th^t ^uch \"Aty scandal) a boat these room keepers have found their way into the public prints as should cause both Schaefer and BaMwin to be put to the bln*h of fh«ai»>. If the scandal- or rum on in question are without foundation, n<, thing is more ea*y than to have both SctuMrfrr and BaMwfu de­ nounce them through the public prees in a card bear­ ing lh*ir name*.

One thing ia certain, that the presence of Jacob Schaefer at room-keeper or export in any city can Dot but be of great benefit to [•rofewiooul billiards at large ID such a dty, and it is idle to, or worse than mad u ess, to suppose that the room hearing hia Lame -in St.

.Louis nill be tho only one there to do bujiueos. The truth u that the public care no more for Schiefer than they do for BaMwiu. Schaef? r may b« a sort of en- rioeity fur the time being In St. Louis, just as he would be in any other city. Those, hcwever, who are cartons to see him, will soon satisfy their curiusitv, inasmuch as that thty will simply find him uo different from themselves. A more man, in fact; DO better or worse than ttumaelTes.

If the St. Louta amateurs, those who support billiard ro i ras, know how a billiard room should be managed, which we strongly suspect to be the ca», Schacfer's room will suon be deserted if it Is worse managed than-Baldwin's. While the latter, who Laa a fine reputa­ tion as a room-keeper, should be only too glad to wel­ come so gifted an expert as Schaefer is to Infuse new life Into th-, Nu.-dDPM in St. Louitt. It is to Iw regretted tli v rand Baldwin cannot k are St. Louis an >rge uziJ elegant r omfl in this city. JILL - -. -. _. , .La has tired of them, for we do not be­ lieve auth iu be the ca&e, but that we have neter hod eoough rvoma ia this city. Let Schaefer and Baldwin put their foot down on all petty jealousy and show their great city that, as .room- keepers, they can de-serve thfir ah*ro of it* grwrtnbM by twlug above all jealousy «nd spite. _ ____
