at-160 pounds is in Waterbury looking for trouble. He wants to meet any man in or out of the city at the weight mentioned and prefers Professor Dwyer at $10O or S2O0 side. He has the coin that counts and talks like a man that means business. He is a likely looking chap and should make some of the big fellows travel a pretty fast pace.
 Max Wiley, who is now on the Pa cific coast preparing for his match with Young Acton, writes to a friend in the east regarding the sport in Cal ifornia Wiley says: Wrestling is all the rage here Just now, and some of the matches decided have attracted large crowds. There is dearth of heayyweights and this fact somewhat lessens interest, as the sports prefer to see the big men wrestle. There is talk of having Jim Jeffries meet some one on the mat
 When George Hackenschmidt comes to this country in January he will be looked after by Sam Fitzpatrick. Sam has been in communication with the noted Russian and has received word that Hackenschmidt will sail the lat ter part of next month. Sam is already looking for a suitable opponent for the foreigner. 1t is likely that he will have lot of trouble in locating good man, as Hackenschmidt's reputation has preceded him and the other wrest- lers seem to be afraid to take him on.
 The members of George Bothner's gymnasium are anxious to have the lightweight champion meet some good man in private and to that end efforts are under way to secure a fit oppon- ent. Walter Willoughby of Buffalo has been named, and if everything can be arranged the bout will be ratified. Bothner's clever performance against Fleming in the face of such over whelming odds has naturally boomed his stock and he is in demand by wrestling promoters all over the coun- try.
 The manager of Tom Jenkins is in receipt of an offer of $1, ,500 from the Olympic A. c. of Buffalo for contest between the champion and Tom Nc Inerney of Ireland. The club wishes to hold the affair on December 10.

STRAY BITS OF SPORT

New York, Nov 28-One of the wickedest hurling matches ever seen in this locality was played yesterday at Celtic park between the Dalys and Wolfe Tones, both of Brooklyn. The ball had been in play only about three minutes when the Dalys scored the first point. There were several free engagements in the center of the field during the match and at one time the clashing of the sticks was so vigorous that play was nothing short of mimic warfare. Tn the second half J. Moron ey of the Wolfe Tones got a smash from a hurly over the left eye and had to leave the game. The Tones made all their points in the first half The fiaal score was: Dalys' 3 goals 5 points; Wolf Tones, 2 goals 3 points.

TRY THIS REMEDY.

You are probably renewing your couch and sofa pillows at this season for their hard winter use; after the feathers have been washed and thor oughly aired in their plain slips of do- nestle, open one and sew in long soft, tender sachet of orris root, pow dered. When you put on your silk or satin or cretonne or denim cover, the pillow will be doubly refreshing addition to your pretty couch.
 Regarding sofa pillows, where they are in constant use you will find zephyr gingham in checks of dark blue and white or in the plain delft blue de sirable material for covers. Make with buttons and buttonholes; have a supply and they can be changed when soiled laundered and laid away with the bed linen. It is the observance of just such simple, cleanly rules that makes one woman's house so sweet and wholesome place to visit, and their disregard that causes the stuffy, disagreeable odor of another's. Feath- CTS absorb odors almost as rapidly as does milk, and should be cleansed and aired vigorously and often.
 When you have the blues, dear mis- tress, instead of visiting your neigh bor and talking over whatever may have caused the despondency, thereby making everything worse, go into your trunks and closets and bureau drawers; ransack all your pasteboard boxes, of which there should be many; turn out the contents and tidy up. When you have finished you will find yourself a little tired in body, maybe but ever so much brighter i'll spirit troubles have taken their flight. you have rid your boxes of dust, and pos sibly found something you thought lost. As means to an end try this remedy for spell of the blues; it is better than good cry or fit of angry rumination, and can be recommended as harmless and easy to follow.-St Louis Globe-Democrat

 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.- The University of Pennsylvania football eleven defeated the Cornell team by the score of 12 to Il. The Ithacans {. kicked a goal from placement and scored touchdown from which goal resulted in the first half, while Penn sylvania scored two touchdowns and kicked two goals ill the second half. Never has more intensely exciting and uncertain contest been witnessed on Franklin field Until the final blast of the referees whistle announced the cessation of hostilities there was a painful uncertainty in the hearts of the Pennsylvania supporters. Cornell had thrice carried the ball dangerously near Pennsylvania s goal and once car ried it over. Another touchdown or an opportunity for second goal from placement would probably mean de feat for the local eleven, but as the time drew near for the close of the contest Pennsylvania's play became more fierce, while that of Cornell grew correspondingly weak, and the game ended with the ball in Cornell's posses sion on her twenty-five yard line.
 There was scarcely a moment during the seventy minutes struggle that there was not something occurring. Spectacular runs, sensational tackles and terrific line plunges came with such frequency that the spectators were kept almost continually bobbing up and down in their seats. Both teams played brilliantly. Pennsylya- nia's offense was superior to that of Cornell, and her defense, particularly within ten minutes Of the close of the game, has never been excelled by a Pennsylvania eleven. When the two elevens trotted on for the second half, the score stood Il to Q in favor of Cor nell, and there were few Pennsylvania ans who dared hope for victory.
