At Meriden.

Meriden. Nov 15.-The home team was easy for the Hartfords last night. for. after the first period, the Meri- dens never had look in at the game. It was an unusually rough game. too and Doherty received two fouls to his credit before the game was concluded Cusick made an effort to stop one of Tom Cotter's hard driver. and while he succeeded he had to be famed back into existence before the game could be resumed The ball hit him on the chin and cut deep gash in that part of his face.

ANOTHER HILDEBRANDT STORY

Anent the story of Hildebrandt trav- cling from Johannesburg to Chicago to bring Goddard and 'Denver' Ed Smith together, there is another on the South African sport promoter which illustrates the extremes Jake will re- sort to in order to seeaa scrap. There were q couple of belligerent Zulu la borers employed in the Kimberley min ing properties who had been knifing and biting each other in rough and tumble encounters, and with whom the mining boss, friend of Hildebrandts, had had a deal of trouble. After tear ing the pair apart one day this officer discharged them both and advised the contractor who was being paid for his services that the properties were not big enough to hold the two at one time. The contractor had the two dark hued ones on his hands, and did not know what to do with them. Hildebrandt happened to be standing by while the contractor was making a final plea for his two slaves. 'Take the pair up to Jake's,' said the boss, indicating Hildebrandt; 'let them fight it out, and I'll find work for the win ner" The contractor BreSlauder by name. and Hildebrandt got together, and q finished fight was arranged for in the arena owned and operated by Hildebrandt. The men clashed like a pair of bulls, and for nearly an hour kicked and clawed and hammered away at each other. It was terrific battle, without rules and without ref cree. There was no restful minutes respite between rounds. The men say aged each other about until it became apparent that one or the other would have to drop from sheer exhaustion soon. This came when the taller of the two, head down. charged his ad- versary. and. catching him flush on the jaw with his adamant hand, laid him low-unconscious and all out When Hildebrandt's treasurer furnished him with statement of the receipts after the fight he paid the victorious slave his $1,000, and then turned over to the yanuuished one every residue dollar, nearly triple the sum paid the victor. Game fellow" said Jake, as he hand ed over the money.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS
Interest is Reviving in the
 Pugilistic World.


 Street-More Talk on Hildebrandt- Ruhlin Acting Strangely-McGover Has a Hard Game Ahead of Him Billy Smith Lost on a Foul.
 James J. Jeffries has gone into Wal! street, according to a rumor circulated by himself, and the result of his first days battle yesterday was a decided victory for him. He claims that he has increased his plethoric bank ac- count by just $12.0oo on an invest ment of $7,O0O. Last night Mir Jef- fries proudly admitted the truth of tho story.
 What did you do, buy or sell the market?' he was asked.
 Look here, young man; don't you get fresh with me-" returned the champion. This is on the level, and After the apology had been accept ed, another question was asked: Were you a bull or bear?'
 MT Jeffries got angry. What d'you think I was buying. a menagerie? was after stocks
 What stocks did you trade in? Did you buy or sell M. K. & T., or did you go long on Sugar, short on Pressed Steel or straddle on Tobacco pre-. ferredT'
 Say, what are you trying to git at? Haven't I told you I was down to Wall street? You talk as if I was in a gymnasium. with your 'straddling' or if l was playing freak. How could I be longer or shorter than I am?" Later MT, Jeffries recovered enough to say that as matter of fact he did not know what he had done. He had given the money-S7, ,0O0-to a broker he met some time ago to deal with as it was thought best. The broker had telephoned him that there was profit of S12.00O real money awaiting him." MT Jeffries continued that if he has good luck he will buy a Broadway theater and play the villain in q num- Der of plays with this startling innova- tion: In the ordinary play the hero always defeats the villain. His idea is to make a fight for it every night. 'If he gets away with me, why the plays going to end bad" he said. 'If he does, why he can have it finish up the way he likes."'

Amherst, Nov 1.-The Amherst team is not at all disheartened at the re- suit of the game of last Saturday with Williams. Those who saw the game doubt very much whether the score would not have been reversed were Amherst not so heavily handicapped by lack of weight. There are only two more games on the schedule for this season, with Amherst Agricultural college and with Wesleyan. The lat ter is the last of the league games. Wesleyan is to meet Williams on Sat urday and should win, as four of the Williams men cannot play again this season owing to injuries received in the Amherst game. This will make Wesleyan the champion if she then de- feats Amherst, or, if defeated by Am herst, the championship will be q tie between the ehree colleges.

 Knowledge of the Game-Hartford
 Does the Trick to Meriden-Roger
 Brothers Team Defeats Scovills-
 Meriden Explains Hobe Whiting's s
 Absence.
 Waterbury was again defeated last night by Springfield. and all because the visitors played all around the home players. Jean, HolderneSs and Fox were the only members of the To- cal team to make any Kind Of showing. It is becoming customary to say the same thing after every game, and unless something is done to inn prove the rush line of the Waterbury team the phrase can be stereotyped and kept ready for insertion after every game. Curtiss, of the Spring fields, was a whole team in himself and he played an excellent game. Dicky Pierce simply toyed with the ball and sent it hither and thither just about as he pleased. It was not an interesting game to watch, for the very simple reason that our players were outclasSed and the fans were weary long before the game ceased. The ball was near the Springfields S cage often enough, but somehow or other our men on the rush line could not find the netting back of big Heffer- nan. The score and summary:

New Haven, Nov 15.-What the Yale football team did yesterday is q mys- tery. The team practiced for an hour in secret. The coaches said that Perry Hale was still playing full back and that they intend to keep him there and that they have no idea of moving him to tackle or to any other position. The thing that puzzles the critics is what new styles of play Yale is practicing for the Tigers. The impression is gen eral that there is something up. There is a strong sentiment among Yale un- dergraduates against closing the gates. They want to see what is going on and say so very plainly. Hence the coaches would not close the gates un- less they deemed it necessary in order to develop some surprises for Prince ton.

New York. Nov 15.-By far the best

New York, Nov 15.-By far the best practice game of the year was played between the Columbia Varsity an-- the scrub. strengthened by several out side players, at Columbia field yes terday. The feature was the surpris- ing work of Holman and Townsend, the new Varsity backs who electrified the crowd by their long runs and phe- nomenal lodging. Sanford was not on the field, and Captain Morley di- rected the work. Shortly after play began Weekes got through left tackle for thirty-tive yards, after rolling over twice. Slocovitch played full back on the scrub and fooled the Varsity a number of times by his long punts. Everybody left the field with the opin- ion that the Annapolis game is a pret- ty sure victory for Columbia If the faculty committee leaves the men alone" as one of the players expressed :t

Princeton, Nov 15.-The Princeton eleven received a rouSing reception yesterday afternoon, when it lined up against the scrubs on the university field for the last practice match of the season. The demonstration, however. started early in the afternoon when the students turned out to q man in the old college quadrangle. Then the 200 men were marshalled into line in order of classes and the parade fol lowed was one of the biggest and most enthusiastic that has ever been held here before a championship game. Headed by fife and drum corps, the the long line moved off across the cam pus and up Nassau street. Scattered at intervals were tranSparencies with such notices as these: Bring on the Elis.' "Of course we'll win" and Yale can't twist the Tigers tail' The cheer ing and shouting was almost inces- sant, so that when the parade brought up at the field at about o'clock there was scarcely a man who could speak above whisper, although all made an effort to cheer and to sing during the entire practice that followed. The work to-day and the next day will be confined to running through signals The scrub players were not allowed to break through the last game, so that the Tigers will have q relief force to fall back upon in case there be a large number of injuries.

Cambridge, Nov 15.-Captain Daly of the Harvard football eleven was out on Soldiers field yesterday after noon, but not in his football togs. Eaton took Daly's place in bed yester day and Kendall was forced to spend another day in the same place. The cold bracing air combined with the urging of the coaches had good effect on the Varsity. There was more life in the play, but the line is still play
 ing high, and fails to follow the ball. Fincke had better control of the team than usual and got into the plays faster The backs continue to be slow. On defence the playing is still poor.

ON THE GRIDIRON.
Great Interest Centered In the Big
 College Games.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov 15.-Pennsyl- vania meets the Indians on Saturday and they are still playing in ragged form. After the regulation ten min utes of poor play yesterday the Var ,sity braced and played rather good ball.. The lineup lacked McCracken, Graves, Zimmerman, Hodge and Wal lace, and this may account for the poor showing. The first two were feeling lively as crickets and though they took plenty of exercise they did, not get into the game.

The Real Issue.

In view of the persistency with
which the Democratic press and or
ators allege imperialism TO be the
paramount issue, it is well and
proper for the Republican press and
speakers to keep before the people
the real issue involved in the pend
ing campaign. There are, of course,
different ways of presenting the
proposition, but when summed up
the real issue amounts to this
Shall our prosperity as a nation be
continued, by the reelection of
Mckinley and Republican House
of Representatives? Or, shall the
conditions which prevailed during
the last Democratic administration
be restored, by the election of Bryan
and a Democratic House2 Upon
this issue, which is the real one, the
Democratic party could not have ap-
pealed to the people with the least
hope Of success, and for this reason
false issues had to be devised with
which to mislead voters. The "Im-
perial' howl implies the charge that
the Republican party is determined
to establish a monarchy upon the
ruins of this great and glorious re-
public. The Democratic bosses who
are SO zealously working the impe-
rial racket do not themselves believe
any such silly nonsense concerning
Republican leaders, yet they are en-
ploying this class of campaign thun-
der in the hope of deceiving the less
intelligent. The labor, manufacture
ing, and business interests of this
country have too much at stake to
risk all for the sake of giving Bryan
an opportunity to settle the Philip
pine problem, in the absence of as
urances of his superior ability to
solve it.
