Specu lation la rife as to which of the atar teams has been approached far Butterworth, al though be admitted that he had made a . .proposition to an eaatern team, refuted to ay which one of the four It waa. It eema to be generally thought that Prince ton la the team which haa been approached, aar the Tlgera have only one great game, 1 Will A KICI, WUIIO IUV UlURri FICD PIS - two eevere games. The Princeton season closes two weeke before the western eon teet and for thla reaaon It la thought that Princeton would be much more likely to -come weat than either Tale, Harvard or Pennsylvania. The Quakers alio night be Induced to make a playing contract with Chicago, but It fa very. doubtful If either Yale or Harvard would aver come west for a game. It Is the general , opinion that the Ma roons could get a game with any of the eastern, teams, provided that the western aggregation waa not oonsldered too strong, lit, .they wera willing to play on the home aTOIIrtrifl flf f tie Mtttfrntra mnA nrnhaM early I ft the season.

Coach Stsgg'e two-year contract stands hope lessly In the way of any games with Yale and Harvard and probaMy with the other two because It stipulates a return game on the Chicago grounds. Princeton "might be Induced to look with favor on a Thanks giving day game In Chicago, but this la Impossible - for neit season, as the Maroon tac? alreadv made a data with Michigan. "Ia my opinion, Yale will never oome . west to play foot ball," said Charles Carver, the Yale strong man. "The sentiment Is 'Strong against having the eleven play gamea away from borne. The Harvard-Yale game fffl AMPtthlnv tn Ya1k ItirlAnia mnA all thi remainder of the contesta, except that with Princeton, are looked upon as practloe gamea. Yala might play Chicago at New Haves if It waa thought that Chicago waa Hot too powerful to make the contest other .than a practice match. I think that Stagg would not have much trouble In getting a game with any one of the big four on Its home field, but as for making a two years' agreement conditioned on a return game, be would bo pretty sure to fall with Har vard and Yale. At the present time It teems to me that Princeton Is the most likely of any of ths big four to come west to meet Stagg'e eleven In Chicago." Probably the last of foot ball In the aeason of 19(12 will be played at Boulder, Colo., Vew'Year'e day between the team of the North Division High School ot Chicago and the eleven representing the Boulder prepar atory team. The Chicago boya have been eut for 'practice tor a week and hops to have some coaching by McCornack, the Dew Northwestern coach.

Milwaukee school board la masting with much oddosI- . tlon from some , enthusiasts, and, Luclen ,Vorden, one pf them, baa aaked several col lere nresldenta for ootnlons aa to the SDort. President Hadley of Yale, after expressing a disinclination to give an opinion which would- do In all parte of the country, aays that the eastern boya need foot ball to atir them up, while the westerners need golf to slow them down. President Eliot of Harvard In part re piled : "Foot ball, therefore, seems to me the least desirable ot college sports. I cannot think, however, that the prohibition of the sport would be wise, either" for ( schools or for colleges. It ought to be ao regulated aa to reduce gradually the evils which now attend it." ... President Angell ot Michigan thinks that the sport la manly and proper, but should be carefully guarded by the college authori tlaa. , , Michigan (a well under way with a careful .preparation for the spring track eventa and . win strain every nerve te win the cham pionship thla year, at by to doing It will secure aa its own the Spauldlng cup.

Keilorg baa won the two-mile run for two yeara in tha conference meetings, but Hall ot Chicago la now attracting consid erable notice and may make an Interesting run for him. Walls and Stone will not Im probably be Kellogg'a mates In the long run. Dvorak will enter for the pole vault and Maddock will probably represent the big university in the shot-put and hammer throw. Miller, who was last year Ineligible, will certainly be the high-jumper ot the quad, having several timet last year cleared tlx feet. The university has as yet found no asplranta to the discus-throw and broad-jump honors. . Kufer, the hurdler, and one of the team'a best point winners, baa been retired by the four-year rule. Interest In all branches of athletics Is unusually great at Wisconsin university thla year, and forma of eport heretofore disregarded hockey, curling and water polo bave been taken up with interest and clubs formed to play through the sea son and matches with other teams ar ranged. Hand ball la reported to be the most popular sport of the sesson and the courts In tha university gymnasium are crowded. A tournament haa been ar ranged for tha post-Christmas days. Bat ket ball la fast coming to the front aa a university sport. At Wisconsin fully thirty men had been trying for the team and the prospect for a successful and vic torious aeason ia good. The first game, that against Sheboygan on Thanksgiving day, waa easily won, and the team haa Im proved greatly since that time. Tha Impulse toward winter sporta has been felt by the women at much at the men, and they have organised an athletic association which tontrola the teams In the same manner that 'varsity aggrega tions are ruled.. Formerly the only games played by the co-eds fere tennis and bai ket ball, but now many other branches are to bo entered. '. . BASE BALL IN WINTER TIME Prospect of Pesee tha Most laterest fn This; Before the Masrnatee, . , . Walt a little. Next week will witness the most mo mentous conference of modern times, When the committees of the two big leagues get together and light the peace pipe. Several little matters will have to be more accurately adjusted than they are before the fragrant odor ot the kllllklnlck will ascend over the council, but these may be attended to with little friction. One of these concerns the status of the several players who jumped from the one league to the other. It has been proposd that each league retain Its own players, that Is, the players It haa under contract at the present time. Thla is agreeable to all the magnate but Colonel John I. Rogers, who teems to be Implacable. He has about re signed blmse,lf to the lots of Lajole, Bern hardt and Frater, but cornea merrily for ward .with a claim for big Ed Delehanty, and declines to be a party to any agreement which does not give him the services of the big sens tor. And, furthermore, Mr. Rog ers says that Philadelphia needs "competi tion" Thia latter proposition may be the correct one, but Philadelphia people las' summer seemed to think that John I. Rog ers waa not the man to furnish the Com petition. At any rata the attendance at the parka on daya when both teams were at home didn't Indicate it. Then,, too, Al Reach dlda't endorse the courae of his partner in base ball by a good deal. When Rogera let Lajole, Fraser aad Bernhardt get away from Philadelphia after 'winning a lawsuit,- just because ha wouldn't' pay tha money for, them,. he not only. ruined Phlladelphla'a chances, but ha made Cleve land. ' Connie Mack waa ctlrinlng enough to secure Rube Waddell for. the Athletics,' and tha deed waa did. Some base bail men are inclined to think that the chatter of Colonel Rogera just at present arises from tha fact that ha haa aold out, or la willing to aell out. It he Isn't ready to quit the game, he la talking" like a sausage, for the peace movement haa aet In tor good this time. - ' Aa a matter of faot the American league hat whipped the National at every turn in the road, and la in a better position before the public today than It ever' was. Ban Johnson ia aure of hla entry to New York, whether he can secure a park from, the National or not. In all the other invaded towna the American la firmly intrenched and In Boston and Philadelphia at least It commands. At Chicago tha break Is about even. That It will prove popular In New York is generally admitted. So tbe rest of it ia merely a matter of detail. All thia Is well understood by the men who are to carry on the peace negotlatlona and will be given due weight by thera In their deliberations. It has been suggested by a base ball man who knows tha altaatlon very thoroughly that a good basis for set tlement will be found in a division of ter ritory that contemplates, tha withdrawal of the competing teama from St. Louis and Boston and the addition of Louisville and Baltimore to tha circuits. Ha would make up tha National circuit out of New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Baltime In the oast, Chloago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Loula In the weat and tha American league to hava Boaton, New York, Phila delphia and Washington la tha east, with Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and Louisville lb tha west. This glvea two good circuits, with competing clubt in only three tawna, and those three plenty big enough to sup port two good clubs each. Agreement as to datea would make tha' support certain and the game would be put on a solid basta ao far aa tha big leagues are concerned. Neither aide would lose' by relinquishing tha positions in Boston and St. Louis, at suggested, and both would gain by tha ad . . . ; v . . .

It teems a clmh tbat the Western league will go through next summer with tbe tame old circuit, and the Hlckey league Isn't likely to see any change, either, all the talk of moving the 8t. Paul franchise to Chicago to the contrary notwithstanding. Of course, the outcome In St. Paul depends on the temper of Mr. Oeorge A. Lennon. It he wants to keep the team In the Min nesota capital city, he can do so. Peoria has secured new grounds, Mgtt In tha heart of the village, where everybody can get In and out without loss of time. Better than that, the new park la located several feet above the surrounding country, snd thus Is easy to drain. Players who waded around In the quagmires and morasses ot the park In the IIUdoIs river bottoms last summer will surely appreciate tbe change. Down at St. Joseph the fans are beginning to lose flesh over , the thought tbat they won't win the pennant next teaeon. As If anyone ever thought the Train Robbers could win a pennant. Out at; Denver tha cause tor rejoicing la real, and as soon as the weather lets up a little the faithful propose to have some tort of celebration. It is all because during the week the Joytfus announcement was made that Parke Wilson had Jumped his contract and signed with Seattle for tho summer of 1903. Juat think! Packard paid Wilson $2,600 to mis manage the Dwnver team last year. Wil son's successor bssn't been named yet, but one thing; Is suro Packard couldn't bo, wtifse. 'It-has alee' been eald that-"Big Bill" Wilson Is to manage Peoria next tea. aon. If Willie will only attend to the busi ness of baseball and pass up the Interest he has hitherto shown In the oiitpilt of the Teorla distilleries, tbe Blackbirds will have a manager who knows the game and who can get the youngsters to play It. Other managers and magnate! are keeping aa quiet as mice, even Thomas Jefferson Hlckey having abstained far at' least' two weeks from writing letters. This Is i hopeful algn. " Johnny Gondlng has got along as far as Kansas City on his way back from tbe coast, and has been visiting there for several daye. He la expected soon In Omaha, to resume his sway as king of all the boyt In Douglas county." It is doubtful it a ball player ever had the hold on popularity that Oonding hat in Omaha, and especially with the kids. When It was reported that he was coming back the boys begad to call at Roarke'a headquarter to know If their hero had returned. His place Is secure In Omaha, at least. Oonding has well earned his pop ularity, for a harder working ball player Dover donned a uniform, and a better na. tured man never Jollied hit comrade! when luck teemed against them.

Frank Mitchell, a negro born in slavery 108 years ago, is atlll living at Akron, O., and has a vivid recollection of events that occurred in the first part of the last cen tury. He has smoked and chewed tobacco for over 100 years. Pre. Greer and Starr of Charleston, 111., assisted by Dr. Howard R. Chlslett of Chi cago, performed an operation on Mr. I W. Parcell of Westfield. A tumor weighing 120 pounds was removed from the patient. She survived the trying ordeal and gives hopes of recovery. Two young millionaires, Harry Payne Whitney and TVllllnm K.

Mr. Vanderbtlt baa chosen site for a private station on the Long Island road and Mr. Whitney ia expected to ceek the same privilege. At a meeting of about forty manufac turers and dealers, -called at the suggestion of the flra commissioner of New York City to consider the possibility of finding a match that would be safe to use, it was stated that the safety match Is In reality no safer than the parlor match, Thla Is a great opportunity fur an Inventive ohemlst. That man has been right-handed from the earliest times Is shown by the greater slxe of the bones of the- right arm in pre hlatorlo skeletons.. AH the evidence goes to show that right-handedness is due to a transmitted functional pre-eminence or the left brain, In which the soul Is row said to reside. Ail manual tots requiring- precision and skill, except fingering the violin cords, are done with the right hand. ' William H. James has been a farrier In the employ .of the pastofttca In- Rochester since May 7, 18G, and la the only survivor of the nine original carriers there. A few years ago he was sent to Kngland to In vestigate method In the leading, cities of that country. When he returned he re ported that the United States had nothing to learn from them;. Ms own methods were far in advance ot British postal ways. An Interesting experiment In night artil lery work was mad In Germany recently. A searchlight waa placed at a distance 'in known to the officers in command of a field battery, and after It waa turned on the guns were brought into action against it. Six 4.7-liich guns were used, the range was obtained very - rapidly, and within five minutes the light was broken to pieces. An other searchlight, at a range of about 1.200 yards, was broken after a few rounds had been fired.. , -. There has been within two years an enormous Increase in the bonda of corpora tions, while the increase in stocks has been slight. The New York Slock exchange listed In iSWl J9a,0l0,100 worth of bonds, or double the amount of the previous year. Corporations wanting money now Issue bond Instead, of Issuing additional stock. An advantage of thla plan and probably the one which leads to Its adoption, is that the bondholder has no voice in the manage ment of the business at leaat aa long as It is solvent. ...

The New Yorker In the mass la not suf ficiently classical to know much about tha old Roman Saturnalia, but he pays punctilious attention to the details ot one onca a year, or, rather, twice, for it be gins on the morning of December 31 and does hot taper off until the morning of January Z. Tbe city ot lean buildings moves con derously through most of Its holidays. It skips coltlshly through New Tear'a. Some time an incoming steamship will report that while atill twenty miles off shore on New - Tear's day, lit passengers could smell tha rich odor Of whisky, hot and cold, wafted from celebrating New Tork. New Yorkers who are good through tha ordinary St3 daya of the year, appear In public In the afternoon and evening ot December tl with bottles In their arma and the contents ot other bottles hidden in their bosoms. The bottle It the New Tear'a emblem of the big town. Unhallowed It the name ot the liquor dealer who falls to give a Dottle of Whisky, rum, brandy, sherry or port to each regular customer on the 31st day of ' December. And It must be a quart bottle, too. The Unwritten law Is that the stuff Inside may be" a gift horse that burns tha mouth, but there must be a quart of It. One prominent liquor dealef down town gave away $10,000 worth of liquor last year. His best customers got a quart bot tle of brandy that ' cost 60 cents a drink over the bar. Froth royal New Year's lar gesse like that, the gifts go through varioua grades until they attain the level of the brown bottle of Mulberry atreet, wherein there lurks a whisky that would eat a noticeable hole in a Sioux chief. Business men appreciate the fact that the fervid desire to get bottles of sotne thlng for nothing will seise even the most sober employe on tha last day of the year, therefore December 11 In New York has be come a day ot mingled revelry and work, with the work decidedly thinned out in the mingling. Ilantlngr the Bottle rreseat. Even the most solemn and staid old per- tons are telxad With the spirit that makes them visit tha nearest barroom to see If they cannot get a bottle. They find other solemn and staid old persons there on tho tame errand. Each would rather die than to confess to the other that he haa come In the hope of deluding the owner of the place Into the belief that he Is a rteady customer deserving of a preaent. So they He to each other stoutly, and at last even go to the desperate length of buying each other drinks. While they are doing It their souls are torn by the sight of bottles being handed out. Recklessly they buy more drinks In ' the hope that the owner will catch their eye and give them something. Every bottle-present hunter lmagtnea that If he gets one he will stop and go back to work. But he won't. If he geta ona he will hurry to the next barroom to get another. If he doesn't get one he will hurry to tha- aet barroom in the hope of better luck. . .. Tha natural excitement of getting some, thing for nothing, added to the equally natural- excitement of taking at least ona drink In each place, makes the New Yorker In tha mate a genial and discursive person by the afternoon of "December 31. His approach la heralded by a rich alco holic fragrance, and a halo of whisky and augar surrounds him. -..The elevated trains bear him In happy compressed carfuls. Every time the door opens at a station tha mighty Icent of liquor rushes out like the -warm sugary breath from a bakeshop when, the ovens aro opened. Tha insldes ot the cart are Impressionistic pictures of sideboards. Tbe atstea and aeata bristle 4 With -bottlee some carried - decorously in their oblong paper packagea, But battalions of them carried In primitive honesty, open to tho gaze of all. . It is an old New Yofk fashion that New York haa not outgrown.- It outgrows many, but it doea not cast them oft entirely. Alwaya somewhere in the herd of. com munities that make New York, there are some that can wear the fashlona that hava become too small for the city aa a whole. Callta on the "Table Setters." New York, at a whole, ' haa outgrown the good old fashion of the ancient daya of ten . years ago, when everybody called on everybody else, quite without tbe mere detail of knowing anybody personally. But If ona go eaat or west Into the atreets where families live In layers seven and ten deep one may atill find the glad caller. Wlndowa still sport the evergreen or ar tificial wreath with red satin ribbons, which intormt all who psss tbat Inside are host esses who hava "aet a table" and are walt fhg tor whoever will to enter to with them a happy New" Year. Total atrangexa ara not really expected to call; If they do, they ara not thrown out. Total strangers drop In freely, therefore, and aa the New Year day wanes, they often drop In with absolute fidelity to the literal meaning ot tha term. It la an unwritten law that tha woman who "sets tha table" and her woman friends, may be kissed by the. callers. The kissing- Is net confined to a pent-up . Vtica ot Intimate acquaiatanees. Tbe total stranger kissea with aa much enthusiasm aa It ha had known the klssees all hla life. Tha visitor finds the table "aet" with caket and glass plates full of "lady fingers" and sponge cake abd sandwiches.

Tha lady who "sets tha table" baa no narrow, puritani cal notlona about drink. She exhiblta gen erous art la wines on New Tear'a day. Aroma and brand do not bother her. Tha main point with her la to achieve variety and - quantity.' Tha callers Judge quality aolely by tha quantity. A truly magnificent table provldet every thing that It liquid, oven lemonade. The liquors range from whltky and brandy through the Oner tones of burned sherry and port and Rhine wlnea down to black berry brandy. Among tha callers thsra la alwaya some sport who baa acquired tha dlatinction of having a tad for blackberry brandy. Ha la csteemsd by bis companions accordingly, until the oversupply brings its Inevitable coasequencea. A tall, thla bottle of Maderla s another steady contributor to tha gaiety ot tha oc casion.

He la not looking so much for bouquet as for a' gen teel sufficiency. Besides that, he has prob ably swallowed a drink of whisky at tho previous house, to he It not attuned to the more dellcato harmonies Of wine blbbllng. The ladles who set the table are hos pitable, but not reckless. They give tho caller hla drink cheerfully, for to get a drink at each house Is man's privilege. But they do not hesitate to ask him if ho expects to take a bath In it, should he betray a atrong inclination to come again too aoon. The caller, who la known In the neigh borhood where he performs the rite, must be more careful thnn the stranger. The latter can overstep the bounds of prudence and suffer nothing worse than a few verbal punishments and a few physical ones later In the evening. But the man who Is known is criticized keenly, and if he low ers himself by drinking too much at any one place ot eating a group of hostesses out of house and home, he will awake next day to find himself a aoclal outcaat. One of the ladiea will, no doubt, explain to him that he . acted aa it he had been "brung up like a pig." ' . Recelvlnsr the Callers. The ladlet themselves have delicate and sharply defined aoclal standards to meas ure one another. Generally, three or four combine to "set a table." They select the home of the lady who haa ' the biggest rooms and whose family combines the two essentials of presentablllty and amiability. Tbe lady whose father or, big brothers have human Weaknesses which might lead them to do thnga to the bottle decorations, and the lady whose mother imagines that she is "good enough for them people" and re fuses to put on a clean gown, do not aspire to entertain In their own homes. Having combined., they subscribe equally to purchase the cakes and the liquors, buying generally on the principle that actuated the farmor who laid in his month's provisions by buying three gallons of apple jack and one loaf ot bread. Early on the morning of the first of January they range themselves behind the table. Tbey have not long to wait. Many of their callers aro accustomed to rise early. Many others do not happen to have been asleep at all and And it not, only easy but delightful to be on the spot. The first callers are received formally. The men enter in aingle file, pushing be fore them tbe boldest, who hides hla con fusion by being preternaturally Impudent and witty. When the single file has at last shoved Its entire ainuous length into the room the men edge toward the walls and furniture as men fearing the approach of deadly enemlea from behind. Each holds hla hat so aa to guard himself atill more in tbat direction. . The women bow majestically and for an odious while nobody says anything till a brave spirit begs leave to Introduce "my friend." Then everybody introduces every body else as "my friend." All tbe frtenda are requested to have a little something; possibly a few friends sometimes decline.

"Same to you," say the ladiea, and the file prepares to sidle out. Aa they emerge their giggle chime with the giggle of the women. Later In the day, tbe friends be gin, to bestow more eloquence on their hostesses and soft scuffles are frequent, as each friend attempts to exploit hit prerogative of kissing them. The women submit with toft patience. But if a man should dream that their kindness Is an Invitation to take liberties, he will find himself undeceived quickly and Impress ively.

The cab hired for tha . occasion has a capacity limited only by the number of those .who can get Iq and on It. Often the cabman is a friend himself and helps to make the calls. - This makes tbe course ot the vehicle pleasantly erratic toward the end of the day . and occasionally It la left to shift tor itself after the various friends bave become oblivious. . . .
