TOMMY WHITE SEN SIBLE.

Tommy White. who las fought both McGovern and Broad, watched theIr fight at Tattersall's. T don't known but what it was q good thing the po- lice stopped my fight with Broad,' - Tom said, laughingly- White and Broad went but q couple of rounds ill St Louis last December, the police calling a halt because one Of the con testants in preliminary had~died i'll the dressing room after being knocked cut. T never got q chance that night to find out how good Broad was. White told his friends. The news of the death was brought to us just be fore time was called. and both of Us knew that the fight would be stopped. Therefore. neither of us did much but wait for the police Wlites is in doubt about. ever fighting again. His ankle which was so badly injured in his second fight with McGovvrn in New York still gives him some trouble. You see, there would be money only in fighting such men as McGOvern and Broad, is the way he philosophizes about the situation. and they are so tough that there is pretty good chance for man to get q whipping. and that does not do much good to anybody"

Fierce4 ragged the battle now, and up and down the rink went the ball Five minutes more of play had been nearly consumed, when Daly met the ball again and behind the New Haven man it went with bang. That gave us the lead and. try as they would, the New Haven players could not get the ball near the Waterbury cage. Every man on the teams was fighting and fighting hard when the bell came to tell them that the game was done.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-NoYember corn went to 45 cents yesterday. Geo.gc Phillips, the lately recognized king of the corn pit, stood in the center. of the arena, apparently entirely unaffected by the. tu- mutt around him when the grain reached thls mark. The din would have drowned the roar of a locomotive. The. shorts were wild. They were involuntarily the means of forcing the price higher The young man in the center made q few sales. The price soon dropped slightly.

 Very Sensibly-Tommy Kelly Would

 of Being Fooled.
 Thomas F. O'Rourke will build a boxing clubhouse just across the Con- necticut line, within forty minutes ride of the Grand Central station. It will be near Bridgeport. The fight be- tween Jefries and RuElin Will pro- bably be contested at this arena, which is to be known as the Connecticut club.
 O'Rourke. Bat Masterson, Dominick O'Malley and Colonel John D. Hop kins have been i'll consultation for Sey- eral days. and it is understood all four are interested ill tie enterprise. Work on the clubhouse. in accordance with the plans recently exhibited by 0 OROurke, has been started, and it is expected the structure will be ready for business early in February, when the opening fight will take place.
 As boxing bouts are now permitted in Hartford and other Connecticut 
 one near enough to New York to en- able speedy transit. there seems to be little question that the Nutmeg state is the favored spot. While there is no law on the boxing question in that state. the police officials of the various towns exercise their judgment, and permit twenty round contests.
 It is on his belief that the New York legislature will not again pass q law authorizing boxing that OKourke de cided to look about for q desirable spot outside tie state. However. with q good club within an hours journey from the metropolis. the admirers of the sport will be nearly as well off as though they could see bouts in the city
 The manager wanted NalCott and Sharkey as the card in the first bout. but as the sailor has declined two well known heavvweightS will furnish the bout. As Champion .Jeffries will not fight until May. he cannot be secured for bout earlier hut there is a strong prospect that the Ruhlin-JctTries bout will be decided in the arena of the Connecticut club next spring.
 O'Rourke and lis associates decline to say word on the subject but look wise and smile in 2 superior manner

The St Thomas Cadets possess a

 the state. In Captain Bagley they have a man who is almost an entire team himself He is sure ground Sainer, a hard bucEer of the line q clever runner in a broken field and q hard tackler. He is always in the game, from the moment time is called until the game is over. As captain of the Nillanova college eleven, he was considered one of the best foot ball players on the minor college elevens
 He plays left halfblck. In Phil Reil-
 cy. at right half, he possesses a-geod mate. The latter is not such strong buckcr Of the line. but plays q good game and generally gains his distance. He is an all-around athlete and he won the all-round championship of the St Thomas 4. A. two years ago H. NJ. Eaters, at fullbacli, is another fine player. his speciality lying in sliirting the ends. He is a fleet runner and

ON THE GRIDIRON.
Last Hard Practice of Yale and Harss
 xara Is Over. z F

AS OtSt.E
 The Harvard Hale game on Saturday. will probably illustrate fully two styles of attack that have been preya7 lent for years. Harvard is booked to play the well known open game. while Yale will probably depend upon the tackle back formation constituting what is known as mass play. From a spectators standpoint Harvard S style may appear to be the more pie turesque in that it may be possible to see the man with the ball from the time he starts until he is downed This was the case in the Harvard pean- sylvania match, and there was nuaa favorable comment because Of it. Cap tain Daly. at quarterback. however. has learned the knack of hiding the ball so well that opponents have been sOrely puzzled to tell just what player carries the leather For that reason the style of attack is both interesting to noviceS and even veteran onlookers and is also problem for rival tacklers. With Gale'S mass play. it is a hard matter for spectators to see the man with the ball. for the formation is close and the attack is low and solid: yet it is easier for opponents to pick out the player carrying the ball for Yale than it is to find the Harvard runner. Nari- ous comparisons Of the two elevens unite on one Doint-that the Yale men have SO far shown mere aggressive ness than Harvard. That is to say they fight harder and tackle more tiercelY. Because of this fact it is ar gIIed that Yale may have an advan- tage. But Harvard's aggTessiveness against Pennsylvania was of sufficient power to lay up nearly every member of the Quaker eleven for several days after the game. As both elevens will play hard. fast foot ball on Saturday. it is freely predicted that the game will be anything but q kid glove affair The betting yesterday was still al even money with plenty of money up on both sides. There is a growing be- lief though. that Yale will begin the aame q slight faVorite, perhaps 10 to 9. but non-partiSans cannot see how tie game is anything but an even break.

New Haven. Nov 22.-The Yale foot ball team took a brace yesterday after noon. Every player who took part in the Princeton game was in his place except Chadwick. who is resting. and Wear the quarterback. who has been displaced by Fincke. The secret prac
 tice occupied nearly all the afternoon. There was less than four minutes of the practice which the general public was permitted to see. The coaches to- Iii ght held d long conference, after which it was stated that Sharpe will be Yale's left halfbacl in the Har- ward game. There is a good deal of surprise expressed over this change. as it means that Fincke will not be al lcwed to play at half against liar vard His record in the Princeton game was so good that the college consider. him a fixture for the Har- yard game. On Saturday Fincke will play quarter if he plays at all. Al though Chadwick has been resting ever since the Princeton game. he is still the favoritp for the other half There
 is a great deal of criticism over these changes made so late in the training season. Gale thought the team was as good as it could be made in the Prince ton game. Sharpe has been laid up for weeks with water on the knee and IS not in first class shape. He has se- cured his old place because he can catch puntS and drop goal from the field He is not i'll Fincke'S class as an aggressive player. Hale yesterday afternoon outpunted Sharpe. so the lat ter will net add to Yale's bunting game. There is a great deal of doubt as to whether Ware or Fincke is the best man for quarter. FiGckc was quarter last season. Wear crowded Fincke out this season. Recently Wear has gone to pieces under the severity of the coaching. His friends say that he needs rest and then he will be all right and for this reason they believe he will still get into the Harvard game Sheldon is also in danger Of losing his place to Richardson, his ri val. who has stuck to him all fall. The general impression is that Sheldon will win out. Alf of the other positions on the team will be the same as in the Princeton game. unless some one gets hurt or gets sick between now ana Saturday.

Chri.tmnr of Rich and Poor.

eve have an idea that Christmases
as they are celebrated in homes OF
great wealth must be IDEAL" writes
Edward Box in a plea for a simpler
life-a simpler celebration of Christ
mas-in The Ladies' Home Journal.
yet often as an actual fact no more
lonesome Christmas days are spent
anywhere than in these homes of plen-
ty. Riches on Christmas are often like
sweet bells out of tune. Nothing was
simpler than the first Christmas day,
and its strongest appeal 10 our natures,
although we do not always know it, is
because it was SO simple Nothing is
so fatal to our deepest and truest en-
joymcnt rs the realization that we can
have whatever we will simply for the
wishing or asking, All value is lost
then 1t is a hard truth for those who
have little to believe that the greatest
happiness of life is with them; that it
is not with those who have abundance.
The more we have the less we actually
enjoy it. There is a law of compensa-
ton that comes in there. The lives OF
those who have abundance are vastly
more complicated than are the lives Of
those who have little. We are wont to
say, oh, well. I'd like to try once hav-
ing all the money | wanted Thou
sands have said the same thing only
to have their wish come true and to
realize that happiness lay not along the
way they thought 1t is strange how
the poor envy the rich ana then to see
how the rich envy the greater and full
er happiness of those who have less.
The woman of simplest means is the
happicst woman on earth if she only
knew IT, She is happicst because her
life is simplest and therefore truest."
