Yet Heard Concerning Game With
Georgia.
Members and supporters of the Savan
nah football team are watching with
Interest the result of the game in
Charleston this afternoon between the
Charleston team and the eleven from
Port Screven.
In view of the fact that the Savan
nah team will shortly play the Fort
Screven eleven one or more games, it is
specially interesting to note the com
parative scores made by the teams.
The soldiers have put out an unusu
ally heavy team this year, and have
had the benefit of much hard practice.
They will leave Savannah to-night for
Charleston with strong hopes of even
defeating the all-star aggregation
which the Charlestonians have gotten
together for no other purpose than to
defeat Savannah.
So far this season the Charleston
team has shown up In great shape,
never having been In danger of being
scored on. The team played the
Charleston College eleven and also the
Fort Moultrie team, defeating both
with ease.
Manager Mclntlre is now negotiat
ing with the management of the Jack
sonville team for a game or games to
be played between the two elevens. If
the right kind of terms can be arrang
ed two games will be played, one In
Savannah and one in Jacksonville.
The dates for these contests have not
yet been decided.
The Jays have the strongest aggre
gation they have ever put on the
Held. To-morrow they will play the
Florida State College team, which
played here last Saturday. The Florida
college, however, will be weakened by
the absence of Jocko Hanvey, the
greatest ground gainer the team had.
Hanvey is now playing full on the
Charleston team.
Manager Mclntlre has heard noth
ing definite regarding the possibility
of securing the Georgia game. Until
this date is settled. In the event a
game Is secured, no other games will
be arranged until It is positively de
cided.
In the meantime Capt. Cope is pre
paring to get the team which will de
fend the Blue and White on Thanks
giving against the fast South Carolina
team, together.

HANS WAGNER WILL PLAY

Rnmor That He Will Succeed
‘'Kilty” Bransfleld Continued.
Pittsburg P sc., Nov. 3.—The state
ment made some days ago that Bar
ney Dreyfuss had, in conversation in
Cincinnati, dropped the hl6t that
Bransfleld was to be let go from the
Pittsburg infield, that Wagner was to
be brought to first, and Mcßride put
at short, received confirmation here to
day In a paper, through an article ev
idently Inspired.
It has been felt for some time that
Bransfleld was not to be on the Pitts
burg team next year. Bransfleld him
self did not expect to remain with the
former champions. Before the team
left on Its last Eastern trip there was
a little clash between Bransfleld and
Wagner at the clubhouse. In which
they are said to have come to blows,
and Bransfleld is reported to have van
quished the Carnegie man. After this
there could remain but one of the two
on the team, and Wagner is consider
ed by manyfold the best man.
For some time after the time the
fight Is alleged to have taken place
Wagner did not play on the team at

SALVATOR’S RACING DAYS
RECALLED BY DEATH OF KERN.
Horse Which Cnnsed 111 Feeling De
tween Hoggin anil Dwyer*.
Kern, who was a stable companion
of Salvator during the latter horse’s
unbeaten 3-year-old season, is dead at
Rancocas Farm in New Jersey.
Kern was never much of a race
horse and Is best remembered as be
ing the cause of ill feeling between
James B. Haggin and the Dwyers, that
kept Mr. Haggin from racing at
Gravesend or at any track in which
the Dwyers were interested for a num
ber of years.
The trouble came in the running of
the Lorlllard stakes at the Monmouth
track in 1889. Both Salvator and Kern
carried Mr. Haggln’s colors, while
Longstreet was the Dwyer entry. Kern
was one of the early pacemakers, but
when Salvator went to the front Kern
dropped back and swerved across the
track, seriously interfering with the
other starters, and especially with
Longstreet, who had got the worse of
the start and was just picking up his
field.
He was never able to recover the
ground lost because of the interference
by Kern, and Salvator had an easy
Victory, with Longstreet second. The
Dwyers were indignant over the de
feat of Longstreet and voiced their
opinion that Kern ivas in the race for
the sole purpose of taking care of the
other starters and insuring victory for
Salvator.
A stable entry was not coupled In
the betting at that time, and one horse
was not asked to puffer for the errors
of a stable companion, and. as Kern
finished last of the field, there was no
disqualification. Mr. Haggin was not
pleased with the accusation of the
Dwyers and not for many years after
ward were his colors seen on a Dwyer
track. Kern was later the property of
Pittsburg Phil Smith, but except for
the incident of the Loriilard stakes was
long ago forgotten by turfmen.
HORSE WHICH WILLIAMS
RODE SOLD FOR SBO.
Finale of Enmou* Match Race Be
tween Paget and William*.
One of the conditions of the famous
match race between Thomas H. Wil
liams and Sydney Paget at Morris
Park, two weeks ago was that the
winner should take the horse of the
loser, but that the loser had the right
to buy the animal back within 30
days for SI,OOO.
It was under these conditions that
Mr. P:iget became the owner of Frank
L. Perley, a four-year-old that had
never raced until he sported silk In
this match. Frank L, Perley was
among the horses offered at auction by
Mr. Paget yesterday, and there was
much amusement when sls was bid for
him. Mr. Easton had talked at length
about the superior quality of the
horse, and was taken aback by the of
fer.
But it was in the level. Considerable
coaxing and bantering was necessary
to boost the price to SBO, at which
figure he was knocked down to an un
known bidder. Frank L. Perley cost
Mr. AVilUams $4,000 as a yearling, and
his racing eclipse after one trial is a
sad commentary on the theory of Mr.
AVilliams that a horse should be all
the better by not racing until his
fourth or fifth year.

NVon in a Stilt Poker Game and Cost
the Dealer fUIjKIO.
From the Washington Post.
“I have been more or less a devotee
of the great American game of draw
poker for the last thirty years, but
in all that time I never saw as curious
a play as I witnessed In Seattle a few
weeks ago,” said Frank Gaither, of
that live Western city, at the Raleigh.
“The play was this: A miner from
the Klondike was trying to run every
body out of a big Jackpot by shoving
in a big stack of chips. The game was
a fierce one. table stakes, and there
was at least $3,000 on the table. The
Klondiker In reality did not have a
very strong hand, only two (talrs —kings
up—but he raised that pot before the
draw to the extent of $250, and every
body dropped out except an old Cali
fornia gambler, who had a pat hand,
a small straight.
“The Californian hesitated a while,
but shoved In the $250, which took
about all the money he had In front
of him. It so happened that he was
dealing, and when he asked his antag
onist from Alaska how many cards he
wanted the answer was. ’Not any,’
accompanied by an emphatic knock
on the ‘able, and the remark: "I’ve
got nothing here but a Hush.’ This
statement was made In such a matter
of fact tone that It impressed me, as
well as every other man about the ta
ble. with its truth. It certainly made
that impression on the Calfforntan, for
It caused him to drop the pack of cards

and study his hand with careful
scrutiny.
“I could have sworn that he, too,
had a pat hand, which he did, but it
was ranked by the supposed flush of
the other man, and, consequently, in
the holder’s opinion, worthless. With
this Idea, what did he do but spilt
his hand and draw two cards to an
ace, king and queen of diamonds, tak
ing a long chance of making a big
ger flush than the Klondiker. Of
course, he didn't make the flush, and
the miner raked in the pot, although,
as the other man was ‘all In,' the hands
had to be shown, and then It was that
everybody got a jar when they beheld
the sharp trick by which the pot was
won. Instead of the proclaimed pat
flush, the winning hand was only two
pairs.
“Everybody agreed that it was a
sdaly trick, and sympathy was entire
ly with the Californian. At the same
time, he was to blame for taking the
word of the other man. for. as every
one knows, the truth is not held sa
cred where men congregate around the
green cloth and try to annex the bank
rolls of their fellow man.”
BROKEfTSEAT REVEALS THIEF.
Deteetlve’* Long Quest Ends Suc
cessfully Through Trivial Ac
cident in Theater .
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
“The breaking down of a seat in a
theater," remarked an old St. Louis de
tective the other day, “once enabled
me to get hold of a chap for whom 1
had been searching for several months.
He was a thief on a somewhat heavy
scale, and he’s still doing his bit in
Joliet. He was the confidential man
of a big Chicago Board of Trade oper
ator, and he made his jump with about
$60,000 of his employer’s money. The
employer, for some reason or other,
didn't report the defalcation for nearly
ten days,-and this delay gave the em
bezzler a pretty good start.
“The departing steamers on the East
and West coasts were, of course, cov
ered by wire as soon as the defalca
tion was reported, but by that time
the thief ha,d had plenty of chance to
be almost as far as Egypt. After a
few days of nosing around, I got hold
of enough to lead me to believe that
the chap liad taken to the West, and
when I got to Omaha I was still more
convinced of this. It was a pretty
chilly trail, however, although I found
marks of It, after quitting Omaha, at
Cheyenne, Ogden, Salt Lake and a lot
of other points along the line of the
Union and Central Pacific.
"From Salt Lake I went <o San
Francisco, where the thief had rela
tives, and It took a lot of time for
me to watch those relatives’ mail and
the like. 1 had been on the hunt for
nearly three months before I became
convinced that the absconder had cov
ered up his tracks, and that there was
no further need of my hanging around
San Francisco. I was about to double
back to Chicago, when I got a wire
from the chief directing me to run up
to Portland, Ore., to look up another*
Chicago thief who was supposed to be
In that town. I got this No. 2 fellow
within twenty-four hours after my ar
rival in Portland, and, as he consent
ed to come back without requisition
papers, I bought tickets and arranged
to start for Chicago with him on the
following day.
“That night I went to one ot the Port
land theaters. The house was Jammed,
and so I stood up and leaned on the
rail at the back. I had seen the show
in the East, so it didn't amuse me
particularly, and near the close of the
second act I decided to go back to my
hotel and put In a big night's sleep
In preparation for the overland jour
ney to begin on the following day. I
was just turning to go out, when there
was a crash down in front, followed
by a giggle.
“I turned back and rubbered over the
rail, and saw that the seat under a
young fellow with a Van Dyke beard
had let him down. He didn't take it
good naturedly, but came up the
aisle scowling. Out of habit, I looked
at him closely, when I saw a small red
mark on his white forehead, a birth
mark not unlike an acorn in shape.
I felt a little excited underneath my
vest. That acorn mark was the dis
tinguishing Identification mark of the
fellow for whom I had set out from
Chicago several months before. But
he had a beard, this chap coming
down the aisle with the angry scowl
on his face, whereas my man had al
ways been smooth faced. His hight
and build, however, corresponded with
my description of him, and so I decid
ed to take a chance. I followed him
out Into the lobby of the theater, and
as he was buttoning up his overcoat I
placed my on his shoulder and said:
‘Hello, Burdock! , Didn’t hurt you
much, I hope?”
“Burdock—that’s close enough to his
name—wheeled upon me like a man
who things a trolley ckr is only four
feet behind him and coming at full
speed, and the pallor of his counte
nance convinced me that I had the
boy all right, even before he spoke.
But what he said gave him away.
“ ‘Who told you my name was Bur
dock?’ he faltered, getting paler all
the time.
•* ‘Oh, a little bird In Lincoln Park.
Chicago,’ said I, and then I put the
wristlets on him while he wasn’t look
ing.
“It is singular how enormously pure,
bull headed luck helps along detec
tives—and they receive in blushing si
lence credit for astuteness worthy of
that Impossible hop fiend, Sherlock
Holmes. I've had a whole heap of
that sort of luck myself, but, being
human, I’ve not let anybody else
know that it was luck. About five
years ago, when hold-ups in Chicago
were even more frequent than now—
and that's saying a lot—l was sent out
to sec what I could do toward round
ing up some of the members of the
South Side gum shoe fraternity. I
got hold of quite a few of them, but
there was one man that I wanted par
ticularly, and I couldn’t seem to land
him. ’
“For about six months this chap
had been pinching the diamonds out
of women’s ears. That was his spec
ialty. He’s pick out women idiotic
enough to wear their shiny rocks aft
er nightfall, and he’d nail them as
they entered their front gates or the
entrances to their apartment houses,
and then he'd give ’em the knee and
the strangle, nip the goods out of their
ears and be swallowed up. He held
up a number of women right in the
lighted vestibules of their hothouses In
this way. None of these women were
able to see much of the fellow's make
up, but some of them caught a glimpse
of the right hand that he used to
choke them with, and they stated that
the hand had a number of five pointed
stars and some compasses tattooed on
the back of It.
"I kept an eye out in rubbering
around the dives for a m'nn with a
right hand consistently out of view
when I was around, but I had no luck

CARNIVAL WILL

THREE DAYS MORE ADDED.

Children Will Get In for Half Priee

roads Handling Good Crowds Into
City—Pike Attractions Did Good
Business Last Night Stadium
Shows Will All Stay Over.
Official announcement was made last
night by the carnival management that
the carnival will continue for three
days next week. This is due to the
fact that the rain has interfered with
four of the stadium performances this
week.
Arrangements were made with Troop
H, Seventh Cavalry, and with all of
the other stadium attractions to re
main* dVer for next week. This w‘as
made possible by the fact that nearly
all of the shows have been engaged
for the following week at Tampa and
consequently would have been idle for
the week.
There will be the usual afternoon
and night performances to-ifay, the
former beginning at 3 p. m. and the
latter at 8 p. m.
This will be Children’s Day, the chil
dren being admitted to either per
formance for 15 cents, and to the Pike
shows for half price.
Fireworks UUplny To-night.
To-night there will be an unusually
fine fireworks display. The picture of
Col. J. H. Estill being shown in fire
works as “Our Next Governor,” and
Mayor Myers as “Our Mayor." The
regulation fireworks features will be
fine and in great profusion.
Quite a crowd of people came In
yesterday, the number being estimated
by the railroads at more than 1,200.
The greater part of this number will
remain over to-day to enjoy the show.
Their tickets are good until Monday.
The reduced rates of one fare for
the round trip plus 25 cents will no
doubt be in effect next week. The
roads have already applied for per
mission to name this rate and it will
almost certainly be granted.
Crowd* Visited Pike.
Last night, in spite of the unfavor
able weather, there was a good sized
crowd out to see the Pike attractions.
The crowd was estimated at more
than 500. Having the sole attrac
tions, the Pike shows did a thriving
business.
With favorable weather prevailing
to-day and to-morrow, It is expected
large crowds will turn out. Visitors
from abroad who have seen the stadi
um show have been warm in their
praisa.
One visitor who reaches all of the
large cities south of the Mississippi
said: “I went out expecting to meet
the usual ‘brace’ game, but was most
agreeably surprised by what I saw.
The show was certainly worth the
money. I also visited some of the side
shows and found them worth patron
izing.” *
until, one afternoon, in the back room
of the old House of David, in Clark
street, I saw' a mail ratsing a glass of
red-eye to his face whose right hand
looked pretty badly scarred on the
back. I had a sudden hunch, and I
concluded that perhaps the fellow had
been removing some tattoo marks from
the hand with a toothpick.
“I watched this fellow’s hand out
of the tail of my eye, and saw that
the scars were distributed all over the
back of It. When the chap got next
that I was eying his mitt he dug it
Into the trousers pocket and kept it
there, and then I took him. I had
to put up a pretty good scrap at that,
but I took him. He tried to eat a lot
of pawm tickets on hts way to the
Harrison street station, but I got the
tickets aw'ay from him and pieced them
together, and they showed him to be
the pincher of stones from the women’s
ears.’ 1
