How Railroad Men Would Evade
the Anti-PooIing Decision.
Local railroad men are still discuss
ing the Joint Traffic association deci-
sion, and are wondering what will be
the outcome. 1t seems to be the pre-
vailing opinion that in future 'gen-
tlemen's agreements" will be made,
which will require railway companies
to live up to verbal agreements, pIac-
ing them upon their honor.
ga 'gentlemen's agreement, said a
railway official yesterday, twill be more
binding than any that ever was put
on paper. 1t will put every member
Of an association on his mettle 1 think
it will result in a more steady MAIN
tenance of rates than we have had in
years. A system Of discipline will be
adopted. 1t will be agreed that any
agent detected cutting rates shall be
discharged from his position, and he
will be bIacklisted all his life. That
will be AN effective way to stop rate
cutting"
The legal representatives Of the rail-
ways are waiting for copies of the SUI
preme courts decision that they may
intelligently discus it's effect on other
associations.

sHARKEY'S QUEER LETTER
Recalls COrbetts Aversion to an
Opponent who Hits Hard.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S-The following queer
card from Tom Sharkey is published here:
when l enter the arena OF the LenoX
Athletic club on Nov. % to do battle with
James J. Corbett ring patrons who are pres
ent will see in me a new Sharkey, 50 far
as my fighting methods and ambitions are
concerned My aggressive, or what some
persons have been unkind enough to term
rough tactics will be conspicuous by their
absence. They are gone forever. Not be-
cause l believe them unfair, but because l
am convinced that they are of little value
against men Of the Corbett, Mccoy, Fitz-
simmons school of boxers.
'"To win a contest from any of the men
mentioned and earn the respect and admiTa-
ton of the puglistic followers it is absolute
ly essential that a boxer should employ clean
cut and scientific methods. l believe that
have gained the knowledge Necessary to the
successful employment of such tactics in a
ring contest and 1 think that all admir-
ers will agree with me when 1 spar with
Corbett next month
Il claim people will say l am a new Shar-
key. My methods heretofore were the same
as those used by John L. Sullivan. l took
old Sully my model when l began my
pugilistic career and, although have a.
ways come out winner, L have been de-
nounced as a foul and unscrupulous fighter.
In view of my reputation as a foul fighter,
it is strange that I was never disqualified
in a contest and when you consider that
have fought under many different referees
and got the money, 1 must have fought pref
ty near UP to the standard OF propriety.
However | am convinced that the Sullivan
style of boxing is no longer popular, and that
the man who employs it leaves himself open
to criticism.

GAMES SCHEDULED FOR TODAY.
An expert, writing of the football

OUTLOOK, says:
There has never been time when there has
been such wailing from every quarter of the
football world over poor condition and such
general talk of encouragement and even dis
banding Of the teams. Minnesota has consid-
cred giving it UP for the season; there are
rumOrs Of that sort from Wisconsin; NCrth =
western is disheartened; Yale is badly Grip
ward is not up to the mark, and Pennsylvania
seems to be troubling Woodruf's sleep. Some
thing seems to be radically wrong.
It is seldom that team is able to play
through the season without reversal of form
or q period Of doubt and staleneSs; but it is
rarely if ever that the complaint has heccne
epidemic. The strange part Of it is the re-
suits seem to have arisen from different
causes The preliminary practice this season
was not severe ard all of the teams began
work with seemingly the best of care for the
condition Of the men.
The conditions at Minnesota have never
been Of the best for football, although the
presence of Jack Minds as coach this wear
promised a revival Of interest. Something ap-
pedred to go wrong, however, for one or two
reyerses and the serious injury of Can't. Cole
turned everything tOpsy-turvy. Prospects at
Wisconsin seemed surprisingly bright until
after the Beloit game when every one seemed
TO become discOura ged King however
should be able to pull the men through. and
the meeting between the discouraged WiScOn-
sin and Minnesota teams may be what each
Of them needs.
Yale is suffering from a large injured list
and tOmOrrOw's game with West Point is gen.
orally feared. The Tigers are probably only
suffering from a few Of those bad days in
football when everything seems to 90 wrong,
and should recover without serious results.
Harvard seems to be improving steadily in
spite Of discouragements, and Pennsylvania is
more likely to be too strong for Chicago than
in the terrible state some Of the reports cause

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Oct. 2S.-The boxing game

this city has enjoyed the first real feast of
pugilism that has been served up to 1t in

PRINCETON. N. J., Oct 28-The slump
that characterized Princeton's work in the
affair with State college was again prevalent
when the Tigers lined up against the scrub
team for the last practice of the week. There
was much fumbling behind the line, and the
team went slowly through the plays in a
perfunctory manner. After four minutes Of
playing in the first ten minutes half the
scrub team took the ball on downs on their
forty-yard line, and pushed it steadily up the
field thirty yards, when Bartlett punted to
the varsity goal line. Wheeler muffed, but
get it again before the scrub ends could tumble
on the ball and roll across for a touchdown.
Then the first team took a surprising brace in
seven downs carrying the ball straight down
the field on an end run by Reiter and some
line-bucking by Wheeler and Ayers to with
in three yards Of the scrubs goal, where a
tumble spoiled everything apd cut off the
touchdown. In their intermisson the var
sity practiced forming interferences for the
runner on kickoff, the players falling into
a formation similar to the old-time flying
wedge, but when it was tried on the scrub
later it was easily broken up. Before they
lined up for the second half Capt. Hildebrand
called the varsity aside and lectured them
sOundly for the ragged playing.
