New York, Oct. 19-The program at
Morris Park today was made up solely of
overnight events, but the racing was as
interesting as on some days with more
pretentious cards. The heavy rain of the

WEsLEYAN's GAME FIGHT.

Hard Struggle.

Philadelphia, Oct. 19-What Pennsylva-
mia had expected would be right fair
afternoons practice developed into gen
eral football game, in which playing her
hardest she could only score three touch
downs against the boys from Middletown.
the final score being II to 0.
Wesleyan had team of well-made.
strong fellows. although possibly bit
light. but they knew how to play foot
ball their tackling was strong and they
kept it up from start to finish.
During the entire game, Pennsylvania
in the second half Wesleyan receiving the
ball on their thirty-yard line, worked
II by steady gains through the Quaker
lineup to Pennsylvania twenty-seven-
ward line, where the red and blue held
hard and got the ball on four downs.
Pennsylvania aggressive work was very
good The Quakers fatal weakness, how
ever, would crop out at the end of each
series and a tumble would give the ball
to the other side.
The feature of the whole day was Capt.
Outland's line bucking. After about twen-
ty minutes play, Outland scored the first
touchdown and kicked the goal. -Four
minutes later he scored again, but missed
the goal.
In the second half, after twenty-five
minutes play Pennsylvania quarter back
kicked the ball over the line and Outland
kicked the goal.

RESULTS OF THE RACES.
At Latonia-

Cincinnati, Oct. 19.-The track was very
lumpy at Latonia today and the fields
poor, hence the very slow time. One ia
vorite, four medium choices, and a long

PUGILISTIC POINTERS.

The proposed boxing match between Joe
Cans and Jack Hanlon, both of Baltimore
has fallen through.
w. B. McAtee on behalf of Joe Elliott
the Baltimore featherweight, has accepted
Jack Farrelrs sweeping challenge. and a
match between the two will probably be
arranged in few days.
Corbett feels certain that he will best
Sharkey in their coming fight on Novem-
ber %, and the sailor is confident that he
will make the ex-champion jump over the
ropes. If the police do not interfere it is
possible that the spectators will see the
real thing in the way of a fight.
Arthur Jones is reported by his trainer,
Billy Nash, to be in fine form for his
twenty-five round bout with Jimmy
Douglass, of Philadelphia, which will
take place at Steubner's Road House on
Tuesday, October .. Douglass is doing
his work at Dougherty's training quarters
at Chester, Pa, and in a recent letter to
Manager Steubner stated that he was in
good shape and felt confident of his ability
TO give Jones run for the long end of the
purse. Fletcher Wright and Ira Payne
will box eight rounds a preliminary to
the main bout.
A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., says:
Billy Walker, the pugilist who was
knocked out by Andy Dupont, of Kansas
City, is still unconscious, and will die.
The doctors have given him up. The blow
that caused his condition was delivered as
an upper-cut on the point of the jaw, and
fractured the skull in several places. No
arrests have been made, as all partici-
pants In the case have disappeared. The
fight was witnessed by all the city officials
of South Omaha, and they are expected to
be arrested, as the Nebraska law makes
all witnesses of a prize fight actual par
ticipants and liable to penitentiary SEN
tence.
Marlin Flaherty, the clever Boston
featherweight, through his manager,
Charlie Harvey, takes decided exception
TO Tommy Whites assumption of the 1876
pound championship. ''Flaherty," says
Harvey, has beaten Danny Mcbride
twice at that weight: also beat Larry
Burns. of Troy, and George Siddons
twice. and gained a decision over Frank
Erne the clever Buffalo boxer, after
twenty of the fiercest rounds ever con-
tested in this vicinity. He also fought
Spike Sullivan for the title, having him
on the floor the greater part of the con-
test, the bout finally being declared a
draw" Larry Burns beat Tommy White
at Troy in twenty rounds. so on the above
record Flaherty is certainly entitled TO a
chance against White. Flaherty stands
ready to meet any man in the world at l26
TO 100 pounds.

Newton expected to give the Varsity

no reserve in the second. AS the ground
was deluged with water. end running was
out of the question, and the interference
went to pieces. Harvard won the game
by sending her backs straight at guards
