WILSON DECLARED WINNER
District Lad Too Strong for the
Man From Boston.
ALL OVER IN TWO ROUNDS
Barry Declined 10 Come to Time
In the Third and the Bout Was
Awarded to W'ilsOn--Latter FOnied
Several Times-An uninteresting
Preliminary.

Howard Wilson of this city won his
fight with Ed Barry OF Boston last night
1t lasted two rounds, but there was ten
rounds worth of fighting done in that
time. When time was called for the third
round Barry failed to respond and WILSON
was declared the winner.
Circular Joe" Fendig was the referee
and his work was not up to the standard
which his reputation around the world
has given him.
Wilson pursued his peculiar tactics of
fouling. He started in the first round and
should have lost the battle then and there,
but the referee seemingly had too much
consideration for the crowd and gave the
District lad the doubt.
There was some hitch in the start.
Wilson did not want to fight for the
money in sight. Barry was willing and,
of course, Wilson was forced to agree.
Wilson was first to enter the ring and
his friends at once made him big favor
ite. betting 10 to 3 that he would win.
When Barry stripped the odds went down,
but the Wilson men put up their money
right and left.
Barry started the fight with series
of rushes, and Wilson quickly cinched
and began to foul. The referee cautioned
the colored boy, but he followed with a
deliberate foul which blackencd Barry's
eye. The latter made a claim but Circular
Joe" failed TO see 1t, and kept on fighting
until the timekceper rang the gong.
Wilson showed much life when the
second round began, and on the first
clinch again fouled, but it was not allowed.
Encouraged as he was he kept up his
pig fighting and Barry simply laid
down.
When the same timekeeper who was
willing at the end of the second round to
back Wilson with more coin rang the
bell, Barry wisely refused to go to the
center OF the ring, and Referee vendig de-
clared Wilson the winner.
Barry fought rushing fight, and though
Wilson had the best of the contest, the
Boston boy should have been given the
fight on a foul in the first round.
There Was only one preliminary fight,
Humphrey Howard and Billy Hall boxed
four rounds. That number was enough for
Han. Howard did all the leading, and his
fighting was aggressive at all times. He had
the best in weight, and was more Of 4
general than his antagonist.
The Bohemian Club, which had charge Of
tine evenings contests, did everything in
its power to furnish good sport for the
patrons, and are entitled To a great deal Of
credit for the manner in which the fistic
events We're conducted.
Arthur Jones and Alex. Brown were
down for a ten.round go, but when time
was called Alex. was not within hearing.
He came upon the scene later on, but
Jones refused to meet him.

WON BY PENNSYLVANIA.
Cornell Team Defeated in Five-Aiile
Across-i 'Onntry Race.

Philadelphia Nov. 26.-The annual five
mile cross country team race between
Cornell and PENNSYLVANIA was run this
afternoon. Pennsylvania scored ~ points
to IL for Cornell. The latter won the
race last year and Pennsylvania won the
year before.
Cornell was represented by Dawson,
Torrance, Schryver and Barrett. and Penn
sylvana by 0rton, the champion mile run
ner, Grant, Mechling and Coates. The
race was decided on points, the first man
in counting g, and SO on down to l point
for the last man.
The race was run Just before the start
OF the Cornell Pennsylvania football game.
Tie men started at 1:36 p. M. from he
tween the goal posts of the football field.
Their course was across the field, through
miles and a half ard back TO the starting
point
orton and Grant of PENNSYLVANIA led

Grant close behind him. Orton crossed
tire finish line at 2:aT:12, his time for five
miles being 81 minutes and IL seconds.
Grant was 25 yards behind orton.
Dawson was the first Cornell man TO

THEY RIDICU. I IT.
Many People Ridicule the idea Of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and stomach Troubles.
Ridicule. However, Is Not Argu-
ment, and Facts Are Stub
born Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and In
many cases so obstinate TO cure that people
reapt tolook with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be radical, permanent cure
Tor dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such
pride themselves on their acuteness IN
never being hunibugged, especially ON med
icines. et
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak digcs-
ton rather than risk a little time ana
money in faithfully testing the claims OF
prepa ration so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines Tor
the reason that they are not secret patent
medicine, no secret isimade OF their ingre-
dents, but analysis shows them to contain
the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptlc
pepsin, the digestive-acids, Golden Seal,
bisnuth, hydrastis and nuX. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerfully
on any organ, but they cure indigestion ON
the common sense plan Of digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before 1t has time
to fernent, sour and cause the mischier.
This is the only secret OF their success.
Catharc pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles he
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested
is poison, as il creates gas. acidity, head
aches, palpitation Of the heart, loss OF
flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at 81 cents per package. Address Stuart

stomach diseases, sent free.

PLAYED UNDER ROOF.
Exciting Collegiate Game in the
Coliseum at Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 26-The University OF
Chicago Won a splendid victory over the
strong eleven from the University Of Mich
iGan today, the score being to 6. The
game was played in the Coliseum and the
10000 people who chcered the players
congratulated themselves on being present
at the first collegiate game OF football
played under roof.
The credit for Chicagos victory un-
douhtedly belongs to Fullback Hcrscll-
berger, who pla yed half on offensive work.
His drop kick for goal from about the
45- yard line established a mark in West
ern football. The sphe re sailed beau
tiiully between the goal posts and the
Michigan rooters Were stupefied.
Hcrschbcrger kicked off for Chicago at
1:35, Michigan defending the south goal
GinsTec was downed after carrying the
ball back ten yards. After several rapid
exchanges Herschberger tried a drop kick
from the twenty yard line. but failed.
After two downs Hogg punted twenty
yards for Michigan. Chicago punted after
failure to penetrate the opposing line, a
touchback resulting. Hogg kicked out and
Chicago got the bali in Michigan's forty
five-yard line. Herschberger immediately
punted to the opposing wo- yardline. Hn.g
attempted to punt out of danger, but the
ball was blocked by Hamill and bounded
among the spectators, Hogg securing 1t
and giving Chicago a safety. Score:
Chica go, .; Michigan, 0.
Chicago secured the ball on the punt-out
at the forty-five yard line and followed it
up with gains of two a nj seven yarlsthrough
Michigan's right tackle. HerschbeIgcr
then dropped back ten yards for a kick
sending the ball prettily between the goal
posts for five points. Score-Chicago Z
Michigan o.
Hogg kicked off to IIerschberger in the
pig-skin on its fifty yard line. Soon after
Michigan began to hammer the line. y
touchdown seemed imminent but Michigan
was unable to score and the half ended
Z to 0 in favor of Chicago.
Hogg kicked off the Herschberger in the
second half at 2:53. The latter carried
the ball back ten yards and then puntei
as he was about to be tackled. complctiE G
wonderful play.
After about fifteen minutes play Mich
igan was given the ball for holding at
Chicago's 81 yard line and scored a touch
down. Michigan gained ten yards on a
revolving wedge and carried the oval
to the opposing two-yard line. Chicago
held for two downs, but on the third Hen
ninger was pushed over the line and
Ferbert kicked an easy goal. Score, Chi
cago Z Michigan 6.
There was twelve minutes yet to play
and Michigan bent every energy. Again
! they hammered the left side or ChicagO's
| line for gains Of from three to seven yards
| The ball was thus worked to Chicago's
| 3p-yard line, and a revolving wedge gave
| them ten more. Chicago secured the ball
| on a tumble at its 20-yard line and Mich
| 'gan's chances OF victory were dashed.
| Final score, Chicago I, Michigan 6.
Herschbergcr's goal from the field was
| pronounced by Capt. Villa and Trainer
Robinson of Michigan the greatest in the
| history OF football.
