Little Money Up on the GOdfrey-Cho

Foot Ball

Little Money Up on the Godtrey-Choyhshi
Fight Zimmerman's Condition - big
Foot Ball.
New YORK, October 20.-Compara-
lively little money is being wagered on
the result Of the Godfred-Choynski mill
to be decided at the Coney Island Attn
letic Club Monday evening next. The
battle is a good betting one, however,
and before the fight lot OF money VIII
be tied up in small wagers. No really
big bets will be made, for Choynski has
never done anything to warrant strong
support, and Godfrey Is growing old.
A great many look to Choynski's mouth
to pull him through, and others OF his
followers are simply taking "Parson'
Davies. Choynski has yet never been
one of Godfrey's best friends; the latter's
age is against him. 1t is felt in many
quarters he will go under. "Old Choco-
late" has still a good bit OF fight left In
him though, and those who know him
best are backing him heavy to win the
coming battle. Alex. Greggians ex-
presses the opinion that Choynski will
win if he is cautious, as Godfrey is very
clever.
THE BIG FOOT BALL GAME.
The University Athletic Club will have
full charge OF the Yale-Princeton
Thanksgiving day game OF foot ball and
disagreeable features are expected this
year TO be at minimum. Princeton Of
late days seems to have strengthened
the hopes of her friends for victory over
Yale. To see the 21O pound man Hall
at guard is to become convinced that no
man in Yale's line can by any chance
get past him. 1t seems as though moth
ing short of a Kansas cyclone could
possibly move him. But right In this
connection Yale may spring another OF
her surprises. The shane OF the sur
prise is the return OF Heffalinger to his
old position in the team. lief" is
training with the team and could get
into his old position In a jiffy. Then
the story gees, Princeton would try TO
get back Jesse Riggs and there would
be battle royal between those two cd
opponents in the field. OF course this
is only rumor.
Harvard's team is certainly a good
one, and there Is universal regret that
foolish bubbles keep it out OF contest
for the championship. There is prob
ably more beef 10 the man at Cambridge
than az any other college, aud this is
especially true Of the candidates for the
center OF the rush line.
I'm Is NOT BROKEN.
Friends of A. A. Zimmerman, the
crack wheelman, are annoyed by the re.
ports. that are still In circulation
throughout the country that their man
is a complete physical wreck. They say
that this is untrue; that he Is in excel
lent health, and all he needs is rest.
He is now taking advantage Of his
spare time by smoking an unlimited
number OF cigars aud doing other
things which he avoided in training.
Next year he will be on the track again,
and in addition to wheeling will devote
some attention 10 broad jumping.
The entries for the eighth annual
horse show, which opens November Il,
have closed. This years show will
eclipse all others, more than 600 horses
having been entered, and the value OF
the prizes is s35, 200.

A Rumor That the Housstonic Road VIII
be Taken BY the Consolidated.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Aug. Silt 10 re-
ported In railroad circles that the Housa-
tonic road will soon be absorbed by the
Consolidated and that 1t will be leased In
the same manner that the New York,
Boston & Providence road was acquired
q few months ago. A few weeks ago
Pierpont Morgan and j. ID. Rockefeller,
directors of the Consolidated road, pur-
chased the Housatonic. At that time IL
was stated that the road would soon be
leased by the Consolidated, but the re-
port was denied.
Not long ago arrangements were made
by which the Derby division of the Hous-
atomic should be run into the union de-
pot here. Plans were also completed for
a new depot and q large Office building to
be built on land of the New Haven and
Derby roads. An officer OF the Consoli-
dated road said that 1t is probable that
the Housatonic road would be leased.
The matter will beyond all doubt receive
the attention of stockholders Of the Con-
solidated road at their meeting next
month.

TWIN EGGS.
A Feat Over Which New Jersey Hen
Cacklel Proudly.

Cackleu Proudly.
Farmer Corseglia, of South Jersey,
has sent to the Philadelphia Record a
rather neat thing in the way of freak
eggs, the production of one of his Cochin
hens. What the hen tried to do was to
lay two eggs at once, but she only par
tally succeeded. Having produced one
complete egg, correct in size and shape,
she managed, in trying to instantly
duplicate it, to inclose in it flexible
sac of scmi-opaquc skin, which also con-
taincd the complete yolk and white of
another egg. The effect was, therefore,
that of hard egg and an egg that has
been dropped out of it's shell, both in
closed in a seamless bag about four
inches long and two inches wide. After
accomplishing this very unusual feat
Farmer Corscglia's Cochin hen raised
such n disturbance in order to call at
tc.ltion to her achievement that she
was set upon by half the fcathcrcd in
habitants of the barnyard and forced
to roost on nc helhouse roof to escape
their jcal- wrath. The row having
