Gilroy fairly danced when he saw 1t.
He pulled out the V and another dol

that morning, singing praises of the
scoop fiend and his own good judg-

When he awokc from peaceful slum-

had flown in over the transom, to his
establishment, dismay and almost nau-

to the effect that the yachting accident

to have been drowned were all alive

to have gone down with all on board
was not even in commission.
Gilroy wrestled with his emotions
for some time before he had the cour

Racing men here admire his enter

swallow the statement that such a

family can be entirely so unselfish.
The Widgers, are acknowledged to be
the smartest and shrewdest men deal

anything just for the fun of it, al
though they are regarded as first class
sportsmen.

game to the Worcesters. Bannon did
great work in goal for the victors.
Whipple Of the Chelsea rush line was
hit in the eye and obliged to retire.

In reference to the recent Portland

has the following: "Bannon in the

last period, claiming that the ninth
goal was secured by the ball going

to pry open hole large enough to

Bannon received able support in his

and, picking up the ball, threw it over

WRESTLING.
Dryer Wins His Match With Com
stock in New Haven.


About 500 people gathered in the
Meadow street opera house, New Ha-
ven. last night, to witness one of the
best exhibitions of wrestling that has
ever been given in New Haven. The
principals in the main bout were Pro-
lessor M. J. Dwyer of New Haven and
J. G. Comstock of Detroit, Mich. The
match called for the best three falls
out of five and Mr. Comstock won the
first fall in 12m 45s, and Professor
DWyer won the next three in ON los
I'm 3Os, and lam 30s respectively.
Both men were in good condition and
the result was doubtful until one man
was fairly on his back The match
was for a purse Of 5000 and the gate
receipts. W. r. Alcorn, the Yale in
structor, refereed the bout, and r. J.
Phillips, a Yale man, was timekeeper.
The preliminary bout was between
Jacob Smith, s.The Flying Dutchman
Of Buffalo, and Everitt O'Connel Of
New Haven. Smith was to throw
O'COnnell three times in 80 minutes,
which he did, securing the falls in SIN
Bis, 9m 21s, and Am Els. The time
keeper was J. H Carroll Of the Wa
terbury Athletic club. Smith was
much heavier than O'Connell, but
what O'Connell lacked in weight he
made up In quickness and the match
was well worth seeing. After the
matches were over Mr. Comstock made
short speech from the stage in which
he said that Professor Dwyer had won
fairly and that both Professor DWyer
and he had worked hard to win the
match and that the better man won.
Wrestler Wittmer failed to throw
Nick Elliott three times within an
hour at catch-as-catch-ca style in
Cincinnati. Wittmer gained two
falls, but the limit expired before he
could make the third.

New Haven, Nov 13-Yale's over
trained football players were improved
yesterday. Captain Chadwick said
last night that he probably would be
all right for the Princeton game. Met
calf, another one who has had too
much training, showed decided inn
provement yesterday afternoon. Met
calf and Chadwick played half
| through 15-minute half yesterday at
ternoon. In case Chadwick and Met
calf might not be in condition for the
Princeton game the coaches have been
working Vanderpoel and Ward for the
places. These players are both snap
ply and have developed in good style.
Yesterday was the last afternoon's
hard practice Yale will have until she
meets the Tigers. The whole varsity
team is in pretty good shape.
The practice yesterday was sharp
/ and very fast. The coaches have a
new style of tackles back and it was
tried yesterday afternoon. 1t worked
