w1fL iRE HARn RArrLE.

New Haven. Nov 4.-Figuring on the game with Princeton now occupies the attention of all the football authorities at Yale None underrate the strength Of the. Tigers, and all are now willing to admit that 1t will be the. hardest fought battle of the year. Compafi- sons between the two teams have been made. and as a result Yale has settled down to hard work in preparation for the struggle Another long signal drill was the feature of the afternoons play. The team was run by Rockwell and he handled it in good style. The coach es paid particular attention to Roisa' back. and as result he showed more speed and snapped the ball back in much better shape. This was fol. lowed by<a short lineup between the varsity and scrub teams, but nothing in the shape of rough play was allowed.

PUsHBALL IN NEW YORK.
o'Connell Champions Defeated the
 Hambone Athletic Club.

Hambone Athletic Club.
 New York, Nov 4.--The English game of pushball was introduced to New York yesterday afternoon, when the O'Connells, the champion Gaelic football team, met team of colored players from the Hambone A. c. at Yorkyille park by the score of "A to 0.
 The game Is played with eleven men on side and each team tries to push the ball across the others goal line
 Previous to the game the O'Con- nells were inclined to dodge meeting the coIored team, saying that many of their players were not in good physi. cal condition, but they were finally persuaded to don their uniforms and get into the game.
 The game, while lacking in science. afforded much amusement to the 2,0O0 spectators. who laughed heartily over the efforts of the Hambones to check the speed of the big ball. The color ed players. after few minutes play, were tire.' s ready to surrender.
 The O'Eomells by this time had be- gun to warm up in their work. They got the ball rolling in full speed, and in its wake the leather left sprawiing on the ground a half dozen wour out Hambones. The side of the field which faced the East river, is not en- closed and as the big ball was pushed between the goal posts it got beyond the control of the O'Connells and con- tinued on down the embankment into the river. One of the O'Connells went after it. diving in the water and swimming a dozen yards before the ball was headed off and started for the shore. sA-ss5-,sIsa

JOYCE IS CHAMPION.
He Defeated All Cross Country Run.
 ners Yesterday.

New York, Nov A.-John J. Joyce of the Pastime A. C.Swon the national cross country champ ionship at Trav- CTS Island yesterday. He easily de. feated the much -touted Schutt of Cor nell. the intercollegiate two-mile re- cord holder.
 Alex Grant, holder of the, American two mile record, was left far behind in the hunt, being only sixth St the end, 1t was said that he had hurt his ankle on the first lap over the course, which prevented his running to form. <
 Joyce was always the leader in the competition. He started to set the pace, and gradually forged to the lead. being fifty yards in front of Bonhag, Newton and Schutt at the first lap of two miles. He covered this distance in 10:49. He drew away on the second lap and was fully 100 yards in advance of all at the four miles, which he covered in .20:39 IS. Grant all this while was running with a perceptible limp, and failed badly as he went along.
 Joyce was all alone at teh, end. fully 15o yards ahead of Newton. Sehutt was well back, fighting off Bonhag, who ran a splendid race.

CLOSE GALL FOR CANS.

Philadelphia, Nov Aloe Cans, the lightweight champion, met tartar in gentleman of his own color by the name of Joe Blackburn, before the Washington Sporting club last night. Cans was giving away several pounds in weight, but it was thought his clev
 erness would easily offset this handi- cap. TO the surprise of all bhe spec tators Blackburn proved himself the champions master at the art of jab- bing, and after the final round, which was the only round in which Cans showed to advantage, the local man had the champions head bobbing back on his neck as If 1t was hung on a leather hinge. It was only due, to Cans superior knowledge of the game that saved him from being put out, as he was knocked groggy twice and hung to his man until he recovered his strength. Cans bled from the nose in the third and sixth rounds, and was clinching when the bell ended the con test

 Quietus.
 Boston, Nov 4.--Joe Walcott, the his superiority over Kid Garter of Brooklyn in a 15-round contest at the Criterion Athletic club last evening. About 5000 persons witnessed the con- test, which was a savage one. .t,
 The colored man was the aggressor during the first, second and third rounds, but in the fourth Garter got to Joe's jaw with a right cross, which staggered Walcott and almost sent him to the floor. The Boston man got set quickly, however, and bore in with a left to the stomach and right on the jaw that sent Garter staggering across the ring. s Ssa.
 The milling was very fast in this round and the honors were even when the gong sounded. The next round was also an even one, but in all of the sue ceeding ones up to the tenth Walcott had the better of the lighting Garter was evidently laying up during the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds and came back in, whirlwind fashion in the final round. ~l
 This was decidedly the-fastest round of the bout. for Carter, who carried nearly 40 pounds over Walcott, kept the black man stalling or breaking ground to avsdd the onslaught. It was not all Carter .by any means, for they mixed 1t up viciously several times, but the Brooklyn man had the better of the round.
 When Referee Donnelly gave the de- cision to aWalcott. the cheers and hiss es being about even. the unbiased opin- lon was that W1alcott clearly outboxed his opponent and was entitled to the decision. =

Paper cloaks.

! Some scientific genius has taken 1t into his head to make us wear paper overcoats. And why not? Tn the large cities of Japan a sort of macintosh made of oiled paper costs less than 20 cents. It is worn by the cooTies who draw rickshaws in the streets. These men, exposed to all seasons, wear these oiled paper cloaks constantly. and not withstanding their incredible cheap ness they will last year or more.

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and so-called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs OF the disease will still live
in the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific AMI
thorough way to cure catarrh, killing
the germs in the air passages, it en-
ters the blood with the oxygen, de-
stroys the microbes in the blood and
efectually drives from the system all
traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
by this remedy. j. S. Nugent, treasur-
err of the American Union Life Insur-
ance Co, of New York City. writes:
"Hyomei has completely cured my
daughter of catarrh from which she has
been suffering for years"
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of Hy-
omei to cure catarrh is the fact that
Percy w. Means ana Bowditch &
Webster agree to refund the money to
every customer who can say Hyomei
has not cured him.
