way l think is right, I would say the redtopped mans chances were the best. THiere is only one way. to fight the big fellow, and that is to fight him cleyeriy, as Gerbett did. There is no doubt whatever that Corbett would have secured the decision over him down at Coney Island only for the lucky punch in the twenty-third round. The big fellow was doing well, but he was as slow as a snail compared to Corbett, who would land repeatedly without a return, and that left hook of Cornett's would catch Jeff many times before he even thought it was coming. As I said before, l was in Jeffries's corner. and when the fight was drawing so close to an end and Corbett was doing so well l told Jeff that he would have to let out and try and land q deciding punch. and this he did. Corbett in sending his left hooks draws his arm away back before ie lets go. I noticed this from the start and told Jeff repeatedly to car " lis left high and when Corbett and get there first. This he did and it was all eff with Corbett. I will give IeffriCs credit for his great fight with Sharkcy. for he was no fit man to en- ter the ring that night. His condition was the worst and a fit place for him was his bed. I do not want to de- tract any credit from JeffreS in any way but I am simply saving that like Fitz's chances should they meet again.

 Al Horford has again challenged Johnny Hughes of England on behalf of his protege. Joe Cans. HerfOrd has asked Dr Ordway the American representative of the club, to offer q purse for the twain.
 It appears that the proposed match between Sammy Kelly and Will Cur ley. which was to have been decided ! i'll England. is far from being settled. Kelly is still in this country. No Eng fish club has bid for the fray. It seems that the effort on the part of Jim Corbett to meet Jim JeHrics ill siX-Tound bout in Chicago was in the nature of a bluff. The authori- i ties Of the Windy city will under no . consideration. cOuntenance bouts be tween big fellows.

 Polo Notes.
 Hartford, Nov 21.-Hartford defeat cd Meriden in rather easy fashion last night. The feature of the game was the knockout of Schotield by one Of Cotter's drives. The drive was not as accurate as the big chief usually makes and it veered off to an angie of eigh- teen degrees. landing on Schofeld's head so hard that he dropped to the floor. He plUckily resumed play in a few minutes and was chcer2d for his show of pluck. The last time the Hartfords played in Aieriden, Cusick got in front of one of COtter's drives. Last night he kept his hands behind his protector One foul was called This was on CUsick for holding WOdtke. It saved a goal for Meriden. Cusick found he was unable to pre- vent Wodtke from sending the ball into the cage, so he went out and tagged him with his arms around the neck. Russs Il also ,cal2Init ted a. foul bE llQlf ing DaheifS,Ss But Refefee I3eahp awtss studying the Autograph of T forthcom- ing theatrical production on the Wall at the time and did not Sc it. Russell made one goal from the spot last night. The time was four seconds. which equals the record made by Kid UOughtOn on the Werdcr'S park rink This was the most brilliant thing that Russell did. He seemed to have gone back in his play. Of all the oldtime players Cotter is the only one who maintains q high standard of play. Doherty was outclassed by Hayes last night. The Mcriden halfback is doing the best work in that position. SchO- field played with renewed vigor after he was knocked down and he was in every play thereafter. Starkie played q much better goal tend than Cusicl< and he made some very difficult stops. He is doing as good work as Burgess did last year. The amateur game was very exciting. After ten minutes of overtime play the Eutmegs defeated the Gillette team 3 to ?. The score of the big game was as follows:

AGAINST FOOTBALL GAMES.
Rector of St Patricll's Cathedral In
 Newark Criticises the Game.

Newark, N..J., Nov 21.-Mgr Doane, rector of St Patiick's CathedraI Of Newark and sone Of stlie beste known Catholic divines in this part of the country, came out yesterday afternoon in an open letter against football, in which he says:
 Il have never seen a prize fight, bull fight or . Rugby game, but from the accounts 1 have read of them should think they were about equally brutal. Why call the Rugby game a game. Why not call it a battle? Why call it playing when it is fighting? The places where it is played are, I am told, equipped like q battlefield, with surgeons and stretchers, if not ami balances. It seems vain to raise q voice against it when you read that at Princeton last Saturday some S10.000 was spent to see Yale and Princeton hammer each other.
 Tt seems that this time no vital in- juries were inflicted, but the reporters say that many were battered and bruised, and the captain of the Prince ton team had to go home for week to recover from his strain We have laws against bull fights and dog fights and prize fights. Why is there not q law against such contests as these in which violence and roughness carry the day? How can it be otherwise than demoralizing not only to those who take part in them, but to those who witness them? Some other name than muscular Christianity will have to be devised for these so-ealled mod ern games, if a spade is to be called a spade"

YALE WON GAME.
 c. A. Gymnasium.

C. A. Gymnasium.
 A fair-sized crowd witnessed the basket ball game at the |. NJ. c. 4. gymnasium last evening between the local |. Nj. c. A. five and the Yale Varsity team. The game was one of those close and sternly fought for games which aYouses in the spectators every bit of enthusiasm which they possess. There was only one disap- pointing feature of the game in d spectators point of view and that was. Waterbury was beaten by q score of 25-24. This is the first time Yale has won from the local five in four years and that they feel clated over their victory is speaking mildly. Wa terbuly started off like q winner, SCOT ing eighteen points to five for Yale in the first half. But the pace. which they had set was too fast for them and in the second half they werc com nletcly Jagged cut. Yale scoring as they pleased, making eighteen points while Waterbury could make only six. During the latter part of the second half, as the Yale team gradually nearer to the local five. drawing closer and closer, then trying them and finally succeeding in passing them, the in terest in the game was intense. The local boys fought gamely on but Yale's better condition showed itself and they won by the score of 25-24. The score and SUmmary:

 The custom of kissing an opponent in q ring of any kind is not one that has obtained in America up to this time. We do not know just what Kid Broad's ancestry might have been. but he certainly displayed q European bent of thought when he kissed Terry Me Govern after his defeat last Tuesday night: The fight was q good one. and Kid Broad certainly did the best he knew how to win his fight with Terry. A fight such as Kid Broad put up will do much to boost him toward the, top. He may not be as clever as many would wish, but he is a fighter. and while he is fighting he gives the on locker an idea that he knows what be wants to do. and from his perform iItS dSdlIlSt IbiGS hctDktfn ne proved that he is a ceRler. He has met most of the best men in the east and comes on with an eastern manage and nearly makes good with q man who is known as. tOpnotcner of the fGatherwefght men. The Kid acknowl- edged his defeat manfully. but still has hopes Of being able to make q show ing that. will put him on the upper shelf. He was well coac'led and had the best of advice. but there is still much that he can learn in meeting men like McGOvern. Terry worked hard for his 20 with the Kid and when he entered the ring he was in better con ditfOn than he has been for some time past. His theatrical engagements have kept him in fairly good condition, but the work necessary to pnt him in shane for mar like Kid Broad rn- 0uired something moro than the ordi- nary ha@-punchin". rOad-workin~ game.

 Show Effects of the Hard Strain.

Brooklyn, Nov 21.-The women's six day bicycle race in tine Clermont Ave nue rink, ill Brooklyn, has resolved itself into a duel between Miss Mar guerite Cast. the local champion. and Miss Lottie Brandon of Canada for first place. All through tho afternoon and evening sessions yesterday each woman tried to leave the other be- hind, but every attempt was umsuc- cessful. Miss Brandon Monday, how ever. lost two laps through a mishap which she hopes to make up. Mrs Jane Lindsay and Miss Marie Davis are hanging on doggedly. Mrs Baync at the end of the afternoon session swooned on the track and lost a great deal of time. When she reEained her strength she went back to the track. but kept constantly losing ground, Miss Pethard began to show effects of the strain she was labOring under, and had to withdraw from the race per mlnently shortly after the beginning of last nights trick.

REFEREE IN LONDON.

At the National Sporting club, Lon don. England. q private institution, the referee sits in q huge arm chair out side the ring and directs the contests from that cosy position. He instructs the contestants. as we do ill this coun- try. but cautions them strongly against holding. Should an opponent hold he is cautioned. and upon the sec ord or third infringement he is dis qualified. Then the spectators, gen orally members of the club and their friends. applaud the referee for his promptness i'll disqualifying the offend CT. In this country clubs depend up- on the general public for support The public pays, it's money to witness a fight. or number of fights, and should a referee disquaIify for holding after, say, three cautions. the even ing'S boxing entertainment would last just about long enough for the spec tators to get comfortably seated. And the referee who made the entertain ment so enjoyable would be presented with everything that wasn't nailed to the floor DisQuclifying is good thing for private club in England. where the referee is upheld, but in America. where the box office is the important 1actOf. ndIuiA- heIeFetlnS outside Of the ring is also good thing in England. and is in strict accordance with the rules. but that like sending an opponent to his corner for holding, would not do in this country. Jack McAuliffe. eX-lightweight champion of America, tried to referee a fight out side the ring several years ago, but crawled through the ropes after the fight got at white heat and worked like trojan separating the contest ants

New Haven here tonight.

Fox has made good thus far in Waterbury and the Brass City writers are batting themselves on the back and saying that it's no wonder Fred Doe wanted him.-Pawtucket Times.
 Mike Everett. who was with Hart ford last season. recently received an offer of $GO a week from Meriden, but the great halfback positively refused to enter the boarded arena.-Iartford nost.
 "A welI-known National league half back has written to Manager Dwyer of the BrocEtons, negotiating for a job" Brockt0n Enterprise. Can it be that Tim Hayes doesn't like the outlook in Meriden.-Pewtucllet Times.
 It is very strange that Frank War her preferred to play with Aieriden rather than with the Waterbury team. When he was with Meriden before he was glad to get away to escape the unkind words of many of the fans.
 Wodtke has q habit of crowding against an opposing player and when the latter gets tired of it and dumps him upon the floor, the Wiz cries foul" He got a decision in his favor last night on this sort of play.-New Haven Register. Already the poor referee is in for it. The first kick from Maine is registered by a writer in the Kennebec Journal who says that it was appniputl that Referee Snowman was opposed to the home team. In this league a Lawrence | B iiter accuses a Clinton Esferee Of rob ping I4awfence ssTotigh luc k:- fwz fuckef Ti1aes a e e% If we can defeat New Haven here to- night we will be in the swim with the rest of the leaders. We have beaten Hartford and Springfield on our last meetings, and by defeating New Ha- ven we will have vanquished the three teams that have been picked out as possible pennant winners.
 | The fans who have not attended polo games this season should get a hustle on themselves and get down to the rink tonight and see one of the best games ever played on the surface. New Haven has been having lots of fun with Waterbury so far this season, but the time has come for q change, and tonight the New Ravens must be beaten. @ Johnny Griffin was whole team in | himself last night, and the way he hustled around the floor made he fans open their eyes in wonder and caused them to ask the question. Why was he released from Hartford Waterbury Democrat. ; Griffin did not give prom ise of getting in shape while he wore
 Hartford uniform, but the Water bury boy has hosts of friends in this city who will be pleased to hear that he is playing fast polo.-Hartford Post.
 A big attendance should greet the polo team tonight at the game between New Haven and Waterbury. The lc- cal rlayprs have been looking for New Hayen's scalp ever since their last meeting. and they will make New Ha- ven play the fastest game it is capable of to win to-night's game.

MARTIN FLAHERTY TALKS.

Charles J. Harvey still wants to back Martin Flaherty against Terry McGov- ern and after six long months of waiting, Haryey's $500 is uncovered. He now comes along again with re hinder to sam Harris that match was promised him. He writes, as fol- Jews: For six months had $500 post ed as q forfeit to match Martin Flah- erty against Terry McGoyern. Final ly in August last, Sam Harris gave me his absolute word that he would take F'laherty as NcGoyern's first op- ponent when he again went into active competition. Since then McGovern has fought Bernstein and Broad, which shows how worthless is Har- ris's word. He has now matched Me Govern against Cans at 135 pounds. This is certainly a peculiar match for a man who always raises objection on the weight question. FIaherty v
 take McGoyern on at 12S pounds, and does not ask to split the money, as most of Terry's opponents ask. Frank Erne defeated Joe Cans. making him quit: Flahertv defeated Frank Erne and received a decision over him which Erne has never. tried to square up Yet in the face of this Harris re- fuses to take on Flaherty man in afcGovern's class I stand ready to match Flaherty against McGovern at any time and place. and if Harris has a real champion under his wing who wants to fight at the featherweight linn it. here is his opportunity to make good his word given to me-

That is the reason he held off so long, in all probability. He would not be allowed to get into the game this sea son. however. had the Waterbury man. agement been unable to secure another rusher. He was dropped from the thoughts of the local management as soon as Johnny Griffin was signed.
 Manager Miller of the MeriGens was in this city yesterday trying to secure the New Haven clubs assent to a change of playing nights at Mefiden. He wants Tuesdays and Thursdays, instead of Wednesdays and Saturdays, in order that his team can get d share of the Saturday night games at Hart ford. The sentiment here is that. if Manager Miller puts a team on the floor of equal strength with the others of the league the change will be con sidered; otherwise it will not.-New Haven Register.
 The Springfield News speaks thus of that game Monday night: Much of the credit of last nights victory De 1ongS.to Holderness alone. His block ing could not be eXcelled and al though one cannot but condemn him for some of his plays, yet he is q polo player, every inch of him. This little fellow, HolderneSs, was the cause of Iuitu lEOuDle lOI ouI itllu I lSltG alone. Time and time again they tried to pass the ball to each other but each time Tommy" HoldernesS would bob up and block their play and take the ball away. It was eNasperating to say the least, but it was polo, and good polo, just the same. Jean played well at center. He always does. Daily was wild in his driving for goal. Griffin is not yet in condition tq, play q fast game of polo. He is too fat Yet he played good game last night and when he gets down to normal weight will make some of the other players hustle. ,-~
 The weeks schedule is as follows:
