 Outlay Has Caused Poor Results.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct 18.-Pres- ident Charles w.. Eliot of Harvard university in an address before the an nuaI convention of the Connecticut State Teachers association on the topic s'The Present Rate of Expenditure In Public Schools Is Much Too Low stated that the average expenditure per pupil for the whole school year in the United States was $21.14 for the year 19OO-19O1 He said:
 q wish to urge upon you the propo- sition that the American people cannot afford to persist in the present low ex- penditures for schools. It is indisputa- sble that we have experienced a pro found disappo poiAtment in that the re suits thus far obtained do not produce all the good which was expected and which may reasonabIy be aimed at"
 Tn enumerating some of the disap- pointments connected with popular ed ucation President Eliot spoke of the persistence of gambling, the lack of development of any successful method of. dealing with the vice of intemper- ance, the frequent failure of universal suffrage to produce good government in large cities, the quality of the popu- lar theaters of today, the nature of daily reading matter supplied to the American public, the tenacity of the spells or patronage system in the civil service and the increasing frequency of labor strikes.

Mullen went west shortly before the disbandment of the Plymouth team, having mysteriously disappeared as a result of "tip" that the club was being undermined by a certain other magnate who wanted Hipson for Lawrence. Mullen was on the Anderson, Ind, reserve list for the coming winter. but with the induce ments held out by the Lowell manage ment he decided to remain in the east

LIPT0N HAS ADVANTAGE.
Shamrock IL Is Moro Than Half
 Built.

Unless Columbia or Constitution shouId try out faster than the new boat to be built by a syndicate as sen by the New York Yacht club to sail against Sir Thomas Liptons Shamrock III, the advantage of get ting his boat first into the water and of discovering and correcting her faults will lie with the Irish baronet..
 Shamrock III is already more than half built, while the proposed new cup defender is outlined only on paper. This fact is causing the challenge committee of the New York Yacht club some uneasiness at present, as the or der for the new boat can hardly be given before the syndicate which is to supply the funds organizes.
 George A. Cormack, secretary of the yacht club, and member of the chaI- lenge committee, said yesterday that it was pretty safe to assume that a new defender will be built, and the Heres hoffs have already begun planning q new boat
 There is much speculation as to who will be at the head of the yacht build ing syndicate. Cornelius Vanderbilt and J. Pierpont Morgan have been mentioned. It is probable that the syndicate has already been formed and that the challenge committee will announce the fact within the next few days. An indication that the plans of the challenge committee are we'll under way, and that there will be no hitch in forming the syndicate, is to be found in the following dis patch from Bristol. R. T.. yesterday ssThe order for the new cup defend- CT in the races with Sir Thomas Lip tons Shamrock TIT has been placed with the Herreshoffs here, according to a report from an authoritative source. Plans for the new craft were drawn ID many weeks ago in anticipation of the challenge, and orders were placed for construction metal and other re- quisites, so that the builders are now practically ready to begin work as soon as the material has been assembled.
 The condition of affairs about the boat shops, however indicates that operations on the craft may not be be- gun for a month or six weeks, as the builders are constructing set of boat sheds. in one of which the new boat will be built. and it will take thirty days to finish the sheds.
 Word comes from several distant cities that the work of loading mater ial upon cars for shipment here has already started

GREAT FLY CASTING.
H. c. Golcher Gets Out 14o Feet of Line in Contest at Stow Lake. Gal.

@ s5 5 E . 4 A2 E tL
 San Francisco, Oct 18.-H. O. Golcher recently set new mark for long distance fy-casting at Stow lake, Golden Gate Park. In regular con test of the San Francisco Fly-casting club he sent out 40 feet of line.
 The previous record was 134 feet, held jointly by MT Golcher and by Champion Walter D. Mansfield The former made his cast on August g, MT Mansfield having some days previ- ously established the record at the worlds championship tournament.
 While angling on a trout stream the majority of casts are made at from thirty to fifty feet. This indicates the hig development to which the casting has been brought. There is no weight attached to the line. It is tipped with a tiny hook from which the barb has been removed.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Gard is Announced for the Exhibitiou

Card is Announced for the Exhibition
 Which is to Be Given Next Month.
 Manager William Crowley of the Waterbury Athletic club was in Wa terbury to-day and announced the card he has arranged for the coming ex- hibition which is to take place at the Auditorium on November 6. This card is a good one and each one of the contests will be for scientific points only. There will be two star bouts, the main one between Young Corbett Df Denver and Austin Rice of New London for twenty rounds. The next star bout will be between Willie Lew is of New York and Jim Haywood of New York. Haywood is better known as the Brass City Kid,' and he has been given the one chance he has been looking for since his last de- feat at the hands of Lewis Another bout will be between Tommy Sullivan and Kid Bradley, both of Waterbury. This will be g warm contest from the start to the finish
 Philadelphia, Oct, 1S.-BilIy May nard of New York and Billy Ryan of Syracuse spared six rounds last night at the Ariel Athletic club. The bout was a good one, with little or nothing to choose between the pair at the finish. Ryan's work was the more spectacular. Maynard's body blows, though, had force behind them, and in finish affair would have been ef- fective.
 Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Tim Keafns of Boston won on a foul from Jack Car rig of Clean, N. T., in the third round of six-round contest here last night. The fight. while it lasted, was slow, md consisted principally of clinching Carrig persisted in wrestling his op- ponent, and after warning him several times to deSist from such tactics, the referee awarded the verdict to KearnS. Neither man had secured any ad- vantage when the fight was stopped.
 Champion ssYoung" Corbett is rapid ly learning the ways of the world, and, as a consequence, his pocketbook is looking much healthier these days than it did of yore. When Corbett was training for his fight with McGovern he was flat broke. Just why cham pion pugilist, who is always in de- mand, should be broke seemed hard to explain, but his condition as the re- suit of lack of advertising. Corbett Mas kept in the background too much by his manager. When the little fel- low became his own manager he saw the point and started out to keep him. self before the public. Every town he drops into now his first thought is of the newspapers Realizing the value of having himself kept before the public he pays every sporting editor in town visit, and as result is getting self He did that when he dropped in- to Philadelphia the other night and inc next morning the sporting pages of every paper devoted column or more space to the little champion.
 Incidentally, Corbett is drawing well at the theaters where he is giving box ing exhibitions. He had an $500 con tract in Boston but at the end of the week the manager of the house hand ed him $1 1000 because he was so we'll pleased with his engagement. At the rate he is going Corbett should have some spending money laid aside by next spring.
