Billy Parsons thinks that the new

last year. He SAYS it is heavier and
does not rise SO often as ''the little red

BERTHE Mallory has pondered seri-
ously over the consequences3o Of desert

said, to pick up his polo effects and
shift to Providence 4.
Malachi Jed Kittredge thinks he has

plays the game that marked its work
in the latter part Of last season, he
won't be far out of the way, in his

Goal-tender Billy Bannon's patent
on mask for goal-tends which was
widely commented upon after the In
jury to Joe Fox at the close of last
season, won't be given chance this
year to show its good qualities.
Jimmy Canavan, they say. looks Just
as young as ever. If history didn't
say that he started out as a poloist in
1884 the average spectator, Judging the
date of his debut, would guess some
thing pretty well along in the COS.
Tom Murphy, one of the wanderers
OF year ago, hasn't been looked after
thus far, and the chances are, that he
won't be in the game at Fall the com
ing season. Murphy has received a
hattering offer from the west but saws
he won't go out there if lie never han

as a wonder 1t was not known
whether or not he would mate .alize
1nasmuch as he had a way of making
himself scare last season. despite the
free advertising that the Portland pa
pers handed out to him. But he came.
and the crowd forgave in q measure
the failure of Canayan and Lations To
put IN an appearance. Bone made a
favorable Impression. While he did
not exert himself, or let himself ont

not sufficiently frequent to tire him.
Bone is a man of slight build. wiry as

YALE AND HARVARD BREAK.
ak of No Long Term Agreement
Athletics Being Signed.

Ialk Of No Long Term Agreement in
Athletics Being Signed.
Cambridge, Mass, Oct 31.-Accord-
+ ing to Professor Hollis, chairman of
the Harvard Athletic committee, moth
ing will be done in connection with
the negotiations with Yale for new
long term agreement in athletics until
there has been meeting Of the COM
mittee.
1t is believed that no long term
contemplated this year, and pos
! sibly not next year.
If the negotiations have fallen
/ through the causes are not far to seek.
The Cults case and the Schick case
have Stirred up considerable feeling
in both universities. Time is neces-
sary to heal over this feeling before
there can be entered into a spontan-
Eeous, anfcab1e agreement binding for
a considerable term. .s., - ,s..
When Harvard and Yale had their
two year break in athletics in 1895
and 1896, that rupture was NOT newt
able, so far as the leaders in both uni
versities were concerned. 1t was sim
ply realized on both sides that feeling
ran too high to admit of continuance
| until certain men in both colleges had
been graduated, and until time had
soothed and smoothed away some of
the rancor and i'll feeling.
| The condition of things is not SO
serious to-day, but the smethod Har-
ward under graduates believe will be
pursued will run along the same lines
The relations between authorities Of
the two institutions are friendly and
pleasant, but it is felt necessary to
make allowance for undergraduate
sentiment.
Managers Of the several teams al
Yale and Harvard will arrange for the
annual matches, but both universities
will feel free at any time to act as
they choose.
If things run smoothly hard feeling
will subside In year or two, and
negotiations for new agreement can
be recommended where they are be
lieved to have been practically broken
off.

HIT BY COLE CLUE.
Boys Skull Fractured in Accident on
Hampton Links.


Willimantic, Oct 81. - Clarence
MCDOWELL, son of Rev William HI.
MCDOWELL of Hampton, received a
blow which fractured his skull while
he and some young people were play
ing golf at Hampton last Saturday.
Young MCDOWELL was standing near
one Of the players who struck at the
ball sooner than he had expected him
to and before he realized what was
being done the golf club struck him
over the left eye, cutting bad cash
and fracturing the skull. The club
struck him when the force of the blow
was partially spent or the injury would
have been much more serious. Young
MCDOWELL did not lose consciousness
at any time, and as soon as possible
he was removed to the Day-Kimball
hospital in Putnam where the trepan-
ing process was resorted to.
He bore the injury and the opera
ton bravely and DR. Avery of Hamp-
ton stated yesterday that the boy
was doing well and would probably
recover, as the danger point had all
ready been passed.

Harvey Parker Decisively Beaten BY
Charley Wittmer.

Harvey Parker DeciSively Beaten BY
Charley Wittmer.
For the first time in many months
Harvey Parker's shoulders were put
on the mat last Friday night Charley
Wittmer, the Cincinnati heavyweight
wrestler, was the man who did the
trick. Time 10 minutes. Every seat
in the Cincinnati theater was taken
when the men walked on the mat.
/ Wittmer lowered over Parker about
six inches, and he had at least forty
pounds the best of the weights. When
the men got into action Parker was
fairly smothered by Wittmer. The
big Cincinnatian started in cody, and
gave Parker several openings which
he was not slow to take advantage of.
There was considerable mauling done,
and then the men got down to real
work. Parker slipped through Witt
mer's arms several times, but his eff
forts brought no results. Wittmer re-
fused to bulge. After about fifteen
minutes was consumed by the men
#fdgeting around for hold, Wittmer
tried again, and Parker worked his
way out of the same hold after a hard
tussle. 1t was then that Wittmer
went in for the finish. and after four
minutes of lively work he caught Par
ker in a double Nelson and the latter
made every effort to free himself, but
WittmeT's strength served him well,
and Parker's shoulders sank slowly to
the mat. MANAGER Jim Fennessey,
who was the referee, touched Wittmer
on the back and the match was over.
| Wittmer's victory was received with
cheers. "Was he too big for your
