NEW YORK. Sept. 1o.--Although he searched high and low for his dia- fnond pin, Herman c. Hespe of Jersey City, N. J., never suspected that pet chicken was the thief He keeps fowl in his back yard and often goes there to pet them. Mrs. Hespe insisted upon having chicken for dinner, and, al- though Hespe disliked to part with his pets, he finally killed two. While dress ing one his hand was pricked, and he discovered that the fowl had swal- lowed his pin. Hespe thinks the chick en picked it from his scarf while he was fondiing it.

ness, and, upon q man going down, arises by the ring and swings his arm to signal seconds.
 Referee Graney is quoted as saying: '.Its eight. Harry" while Forbes was still on the floor. As Forbes arose. however, the timekeeper signaled Graney to notify him that the bout was over and Graney had to declare Neil the winner.
 Forbes's condition at the end of the bout was problematical, it seems. It was known that Harry was not in the best of condition and that he caught series of stunning wallops. many in the stomach, before he went to the floor. He claims that he was unin- jured, however. and that he was mere ly recovering from the effects of the blows.
 He claims, and his friends support him who witnessed the fight, that he was ready to go on with the battle at the end of the second round. A mis- taken count is the claim of the Forbes contingent.
 It is impossible to pass judgment on the fight from this distance, but one peculiarity of4Harry's may be recalled in his battles here. And this is his tendency to take the count, even if he slips to the floor. He did this in his fights with Attell and FeltZ before the West End Club,
 When he fought Attell, he went to the floor after fierce mixup in the second-the only period at which At tell tried to swap blows with him, by the way-and remained down for the count. He arose, uninjured, and re- sumed the battle, winning by good margin, although the low blow in the fourteenth has also cast some clouds on his victory.
 When he met Feltz he went down for the count in the fourth round. Feitz had been boring so consistently that this caused the widest excite ment. It was thought he had Harry all but out. Forbes arose, however. and went on fighting without any ap- parent loss of speed.
 He has shown this readiness to ac- cept the count in several battles. 1t may be his idea of resting up at inter- vals. it may be q play to attract at tention from the crowd-but it is q habit he possesses. It may be that his claims are correct and that he was un- injured while on the floor of the ring at Frisco. Tn this case, he probably will break himself of the habit which lost him the championship. Forbes announces that he will fight the whole coterie of men his own size in order to get crack at Nell again. It is to be hoped that he follows this plan as it will mean activity in the bantam diyision.--St Louis Republic

FOOTBALL SEASON.

Harvard's football season of 1905 will open on Thursday. September IT. As college opens on September 21, the preliminary season will be unusually short, and will hardly give the men Il chance to get the stiffness out of their muscles before their lectures begin. The new rules have had a tendency to lengthen the preliminary season, as to the propfiety of which there have been numerous discussions at most of the larger colleges Although Coach Cranston and Captain Marshall have not made known their ideas on the subject, it is evident that they think the season is long enough as it is, without taking n couple of weeks of preliminary work. g
 The prospect for the crimson eleven appears at present just about mid ding. and even if all the favorable possibilities materialize, the outlook will be none too bright. Until the men actually report on Soldiers field it will be impossible to tell exactly who will be candidates for the eleven, and the possibilities of material at present are confined almost entirely to the members of last years eleven and substitute squad who will be in the university this season and eligible for the team.
 There are several chances of prom ising freshmen and other new men being among the candidates, but the only ones who can be surely reckoned on are certain members of last years team. Even here there are chances of some hopes being spoiled, especial ly in regard to certain men who are expected to return to the law school, but who may change their minds
 Of last years eleven, Bowditch, Sugden Knowlton, Kernafi and Gray don were in the graduating class The Inst two will certainly not return to the university but it is expected that Bowditch, Sugden and Knowlton will be i'll the law school. Andy Marshall has another year at the law school, and is eligible for the team another year. Barnard, although he will be , in the law school, has had his four years in intercollegiate athletics, hav- ing played in some of the minor games one year and in the Yale game the last three. Putnam probably will not return this year.
 If everything goes as we'll as Cap- tain Marshall and the Harvard root CTS hope, the crimson, while losing it's trio of backs, Herman, Putnam and Graydon, will have left from last years eleven besides Carl Marshall, Bowditch, Shea, Andy Marshall. Sug- den, Knowlton and Mills. This will give Harvard very nearly the whole of last seasons line, which is much to be preferred to the situation last year, when only two men were left from the line of the previous season. but with three out of the four men in the back field. If all goes we'll Coach Cranston will face an entirely differ. ent and far easier task than Farley had to contend with last year.
 In the back field. the problem, will undoubtedly be hard. but there were a good many brilliant backs on. the substitute and freshmen teams las, fall. and among them there ought to be some who will prove worthy sue cessors to Kernan and Graydon.

STATE FOOTBALL LBAGuE.
Plans Being Formulated for Such an
 Organization.

Plans Being Formulated for Such an
 Organization.
 Plans are being formulated for the organization of football league among half a dozen of the best semi professional teams in the state. The league, if formed. will be known as the Connecticut Football league. Ed ward r. Dunphy, manager of the St Thomas Cadets football team, is the principal leader in the movement to organize such league. The arrange ments have been so far advanced that a meeting of the representatives of the teams which will compose the league has been called for next Sun day. The meeting will be held at the Waterbury hotel at Ii o'clock. The following teams will be represented: St Thomas Cadets, Edward F. Dun phy; Go A, William Sandland; Nauga- tuck, NJ. OConnell; Yannigans of Bridgeport. J. T. Gardner: Acorns of Bridgeport, J. ID. Hermann; Torring- ton, T. r. Wall. Winsted will also be represented, but it is doubtful if she will be allowed to enter the league.
 For many years past there has been much dispute among the above teams as to which was the champion of the state. Four or five of the teams would claim it each year and it was never finally settled. One of the crack teams would refuse to play with the others. Now this will be all done away with, provided the league is formed. Each team will play five games, or one game with every one of the other teams in the league Each team, therefore. will have a fair show.
 If the league is organized some fine gridiron contests will be seen in this city and the other. cities where the league teams will play. The teams which will probably compose the league are six of The best in the state and q strong rivalry exists among them. There is not much love lost among them. For the past few years they have engaged in much pickering and dispute about their relative stand ing. Now, if the league is organized, there will be no need of such picker ing, for the question will be settled on the grfdiron.

THE PUGlL.ISTS,
Lanky Bob Is Said to Be Shiyer-
 ing In His Boots

An Alleged Challenge from Al Weinig
 the Cause-Frankie Neil Talks About
 Ills Recent Battle With Forbes at
 San Francisco.
 For the first time in his life Bob F1tzsimmons is shaking in his No 6s, says the Telegraph And he does wear No 6 shoe. His hands are really longer than his feet. The shaking aforesaid is due to challenge of Al Weinig. Wentg, who has fought, or made an attempt thereat, in the ring, posts $500 in orthodox money to bind a match with Fitz. This is half of $1,- GOO which Mfr Weinfg Is willing to bet on the side that he can stop Fitz in twenty rounds. No, 1t is not joke. That is, not from MT Weinig's point of view MT Weinig takes himself seri- ously, very much so. He registers in Buffalo around election day and is down in the pugilistic blue book as q light heavyweight. Up to the present writing he has not set any champion ships on fire, but he has hopes. For a year or so he has been. camping on the trail of George Gardner, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Tommy Ryan, but without those gentlemen stubbing their toes on him. If Fitzsimmons falls to get over his fear and send Il regret to MT Weinig's challenge, Mir Weinig will make like proposition to Ryan, Gard enr and O'Brien, collectively and indi- vidually. "I will box FitZ,' declares Mfr Weinig, before any club hanging up suitable purse. I have been rest ing for some time, but will begin active training at once" Mfr Weinlg is strangely silent on the subject of lief fries. But, perhaps, like Munroe, is working up to the champion and be- ginning with Fitzsimmons. Something, by the way, like building a house by putting the roof on first.

At Hartford.

Hartford, Sept 10.--The New Haven base ball club, former champions of the Connecticut league, came to Hartford yesterday and defeated the local repre- sentatives on the skinned diamond by & to o, before a crowd roughly esti. mated at 1O0 Tuckey, the Hartford cast-off, and Gus Thomas were rival artists on the slab, and while the bin goes charged up against the Hartford twirler outnumbered those made off Tuckey. Thomas pitched fully as good a game as his rival. While the New Haven pitcher received perfect support, Rockford made two costly errors, Gus Thomas contributed one himself, and Ahearn made a throw that did some damage. There was q good deal of interest among the players over the game as Manager Walter Burnham of the Newark team was present to size ID Captain Ira Thomas and get line pn any of our other promising young players. Aside from this some of the young women acquaintances of the Hartford and New Haven players sat In the grand stand, and this was spe. rial inducement for the youngsters to show off. Up to the eighth inning the game was finely played and the only run made was partly due to bad throw by Thomas. the pitcher Man ager Canavan was out in right field and put up fine game, shutting off q run by an accurate and speedy throw. This was the nearest the Hartfords came to scoring. The score:

TARLN OF PERCNNTAGEs.

It now seems quite probable that the Holyoke-M eriden-Low Ma shua post season series of baseball games would be played after all. The, follow ing article from the Holyoke Trans scripte explains the situation: "An answer was received yesterday from Fred Lake, manager of the Lowell baseball club, which will win the New England league championship, agree ing to play Holyoke, the coming cham pions of the Connecticut league, for the championship of New England There will be seven games, the first three i'll Lowell Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and the rest here. Two games will be played Saturday. Mana ger Lake suggests that there be two umpires, each club to select one, and each to be i'll each game, alternating behind the bat. There has already been aroused much interest in the games, and they are sure to draw large crowds if the weather is fair. Low ell has q splendid club, as has been shown in the greatest drive for the fin ish the New England league has ever had in it's history. Nashua is but sin gle game behind it now and with five days yet to play, may yet land the pen nant, catching up one game yester- day when it took both games from Ha- yerhill, to Lowell and Lawrence break ing even. Manager O'Neil yesterday also sent challenge to Nashua and it may be that it will be played the week following, for a shorter series.
