THE PUGlLlSTS.
Eddie Hanlon and Benny Yan-
 ger Have a Bout

[ { { N Hanlon Had the Better of the Battle 5 and Got the Decision-The Winner
 Will Have a Chance to Face Young
 Corbett-other Fighting News.
 San Brancisco, Sept sddie Han lon, the Frisco featl eight, and Benny Yanger, the '"Tlt. ,on Slasher'I of Chicago, collided last evening at the
 Tayes Valley Athletic club before an excited mob that made the benches groan under a weight seldom imposed even on the seats of this much patron ized organization.
 Hanlon won the decision after the p twentieth round
 Unusual interest was manifested in the fight because of it's probable conse- quences. It has been understood that the victor would be given a chance to pit gloves against Young Corbett for the championship of the featherweight class, the bout to take place next De- cember at the Hayes Valley club. This fact attracted an unusually big crowd, which was augmented by the fact that one of the principals is San Francis can. However, the thoroughbred qualities of the two game little scrap pers would have alone, drawn a big mob
 The fight was fast, earnest one. The men were melted to great efforts not from a desire to get the money alone but tor the right to take a whack at Young Corbett, and possibly win the highest honors a featherweight can take to himself
 As the boys entered the ring the bet ting favored Hanlon. He had the crowd with him. and the crowd, in turn, had the cash with them. But there was plenty of money that had seen the Windy City, and 1t wasn't glued to the pockets of it's owners A tidy sum changed hands on the result.
 It was the second meeting of the little gladiators. The last time they shook hands the polite proceeding was followed by a 20-round session that went into the draw column. Han Ions splendid exhibit tions against Young Corbett, Attel and Yanger in Jected courage into those of his friends who entertained the slightest doubt of his ability to put Benny to sleep.

ON THE GRIDIRoN
cadidates for Positions Getting into


 Form.
 New Haven, Sept 3O.-After the fast practice yesterday it was the unanl- nous opinion of the coaches that at AAo time before in the history of football at Old Eli has the team shown such good form at this stage of the game. The playing field is crowded every uay with men who have made the fame or Yale in years gone by and they are working with a will to teach the can didates the fine points of the game. When they say they are sausned lI speaks we'll for the team, for usually they are a hard lot to please. one thing that is great help to Yale this year is that the scrub team Is very strong one. This gives the coaches more than the usual opportunity to keep the men up to their work, for they know that should they let down there Is a good man ready to step into their shoes.
 Cambridge, Sept S0.-With the return Of Bodwitch and Hurley to the foot ball squad things are looking up at Harvard This completes the list of last years men eligible, and in conse- quence of their being again in place the practice was much faster and more satisfactory yesterday. While at times given to raggedness, 1t had the snap and go that tells of the improvement sure to come when the men get to working together. Some of the men are still a little sore from the effects of the game with Williams last Satur- day, but it will work out soon.
 < f 4 F r. E
 Princeton, Sept 3O.-Improvement is the one word that can be said of the football squads work after yesterdays practice. The varsity team tore up the scrub line yesterday afternoon In great style, and this, too, in spite or the fact that the second team has been immeasurabiy strengthened of late. It was by far the best and most exciting game that has been played so far. That the quarterback kick will play q big part in the contests this season F evidenced by the frequency with which 1t is tried by the varsity tear.
 Ithaca, Sept 3O.---Coaches Warner and Purcell think they have "hnd' in big freshman named Wilder whom they will. play at left guard in GO-udy s EdAG dkE1ASL5 ALL CN. sAAANAs weighs 18O and has plenty of gridiron grit. He showed up well in yesterdays practice which was great improve ment over the last few days. Less fumbling marked the short scrimmage in which the varsity made one touch down.
 ANSWER TO A CHALLENGE. Dear Mir Editor:
 Editor of Democrat:

as II has swallowed a man; the whale, that les

island. Among these mingle in the nat

familiar animals, the wolf of the Italian plains,
the scavenging dog of the medieval streets, and
the falcon and its quarry. And through Dante's
descriptions of the fabulous and the familiar
alike is shot vivid, specific reality.
To DR.. HOlbrook may be commended the words
Of DR.. Karl Federn in Dante and His Time:
I'VE who laugh at the rneagre knowledge of
those times are far from being the superiOrs of
Dante or possibly even of Ser Brunette Latini
A fool will be fool in the twenty second cen
fury, and a genius a genius in the Middle
Ages, even when he believed that there were
serpents with two heads and that the hippopota-
mus was a fish" These words express the
derlying assumption of DR.. Federn's book, and
he never does violence to them Toward his
bject he is perfectly receptive for his reader,
purely an interpreter There is solid comfort
in the dispassionate temper of the volume which
more than makes amends for the fact that,
readable as it is, it is too comprehensive and
compact an abstract Of the times TO be tC any
high degree incisve and stimulating. Curiously
enough, DR.. Federn is most pointed when he
deals with the most abstract subject. Not even
his account Of the medieval university contains
SO much in little as his chapter on the scholas-
tic philosophy. He brings out clearly a charac-
teristic phase or so of philosophic battle in the
Middle Ages; he notes some of the xtraordinary
del ex machna which these hair splitting war
riors dragged so laboriously into their conflicts,
Plato. Porphyry, Aristotle and all the in
genious fathers of the church; he sets off Scotus

times playful. IN some way tri1e disparaging
over Dante's insistent mediavalism and neglect
to see the objective world from the point Of view
OF the latest scientific theory. For Dr. Hol-
brooks enthusiasm for evolution makes him i'm
patient of those who lived before the theory Of
evolution evolved.
He refers occasionally to the distinction be-
tween scientific truth and poetic truth. One may
guess this distinction to be that the poet lin
its himself to true revelation of his i'm
pressions and that the scientist traces his i'm
pressions to their causes and those causes to
their causes ad infinitum But the author
where makes the nature OF the distinction clear;
does he seem to keep it always in mind.
He nowhere recognizes that all that poet need
be is emotional. human vivid and sincere, that
his very impulse to be vivid Will make him
speak after the intellectual fashion of his gener
alton, and that the more human he is. the
more he will be under the impress Of its
moods, prejudIces, ignorance and credulities
