WHAT o,RoURKE SAYS.

Bridgeport, Nov 17.-Manager O'Rourke, secretary of the Connecti- cut baseball league, said yesterday: There will be no meeting of the league directors until the first Tues day in January, to which time the meeting Tuesday afternoon adjourn ed. Every club in the league had written notice of the meeting Tuesday with the hour and place of meeting stated. There were six of the eight directors represented and the business was transacted regularly and legally heard from Mir Tracy this morning and he said MT Prindiville and Mir O'Neil went as far as Berlin with him yesterday, and then went on to their homes,. so those three directors were not present at that rump meeting. I was not there and MT Crolius was in Bridgeport with me. That left three directors to hold meeting. I am sorry MT Danaher was not present, but no attention will be paid to his claim that another meeting will have to be held"

THE E.GRIDIRON BIG ODDS
 ASKED FOR
Harvard Looking for Four and Five to One-Other Football News-Amherst Beat Williams Yesterday.

Harvard students are holding out for prohibitive odds before betting their team will beat Yale. They want odds of to 1 and to 1. and these Yale men are unwilling to give. Such odds are unreasonable. If Yale were going to play Trinity they would be all right, but not when Yale is going against a team that for one thing is even heavier than Yale. If, as report ed, many of the Harvard coaches who saw Yale and the Tigers play were greatly encouraged over Har- yards chances" there is additional reason why the odds should not be so one-sided. Yale men nearly always have to give odds on their football teams. That is a tribute to Old Eli's gridiron prowess, but more than once the odds ought to have been the other way. When they really are the other way Yale is just as dangerous as when favorite. When the blue is sup posed to be easy she will always bear watching.
 The hard luck stories that have come out of Cambridge this week about cr1ppIeSS ana poor pFdcIice ceI tainly are conducive to big odds against the Crimson, but Yale men have not been influenced by them to any great extent. There were stories of cripples and scrubs tearing up the varsity from New Haven last week. Before last Saturday Columbia was supposed to have about as much chance against Cornell as Harvard is supposed to have against Yale Tnere was pool of $4.5O0 raised to bet on Cornell at 3 to i. and Columbia fol lowers put up $1,500 to cover It. There is $20OOO of Yale money In Boston waiting to be covered at fair price.

Two rounds were also necessary to decide the heavy weight spree. but Neff. 'OS, finally got the cane from Taliaferro. or.

THE PUGILISTS.
TOMMY RYAN
 SEEKS TROUBLE
He Wants to Tackle Jim Jeffries Blackburn is After Jimmy Britt-Reb- ins0n and Ryan Matched.

Tommy Ryan aspires to be the heavy weight champion of the world. He wants to fight Jim Jeffries for the title and gives his reasons why the boiler. maker should not ignore him. Ryan Is now matched to box six rounds with Jack Root of Chicago in Philadelphia on November 9. It all depends oh what showing he makes in this con. test whether he will go after Jefries. Root is a heavyweight, and Ryan be- lieves that if he can beat him he has a good chance of more than holding his own against the champion. While Root is an excellent fighter, a stiff puncher and all that, he is far iron. being in Jeffries's class.
 BLACKBURN WANTS BRITT
 The latest pugilist to desire con- test with Jimmy Britt is Jack Black burn, a Philadelphia negro. Blackburn has good record, but 1t is not likely that Britt will entertain a match with him under any conditions, because the Westerner has concluded to draw tho color line with vengeance. Black. burn says: "I notice a statement by Jimmy Britt that he is legitimate lightweight and that be figures that he has shown there isn't 133-pound man WQO SCauQS OUV IO | cuhACC W1Ih him. Now I, for one, beg leave to diff fer from the Californian think l am Britt's equal, if not his superior, aA a fighter. and am ready to make D match with him at 133 pounds, ring side. have engaged in over 100 fights and never lost but one. That was in a fifteen-round bout with Joe Cans in Baltimore. Previous to that I beat Cans in six-round bout in Philadel- phia Both Of these fights were at 18S pounds, weigh in at 6 o'clock. Zach time I wanted to face Cans at 133 pounds, but on both occasions he refused to fight me at less than 13S pounds at o'clock. think I am en titled to meet Britt for the lightweight title. trust that he won't bar me because I'm black. He could not do this consistently after fighting Joe Gans.''
 ROBINSON AND, RYAN MATCHED.
 Spike Robinson, an English well terweight fighter, formerly of the Ma tional Sporting club of London, but now in this country, has been matched to fight Billy Ryan of Sryacuse. on Thanksgiving day. There is a large purse and a good side bet oR the fight. The men will meet in private before a club yet to be selected spike Rob- inson recently fought twenty rounds with Danny Duane.

NO YACHT RAGE.

New York, Nov 17.-Members of the New York Yacht club have about con. cluded that the America's cup is safe for another year and that no races will occur in 1905 for that trophy. It is provided in the rules governing the case that challenges shall be made in writing ten months prior to the dates for the races. While the conditions allow racing in October, nearly all yachtsmen, British and American, have declared against sailing outside Sandy Hook in October owing to the heavy seas which generally prevail at that season, so that no challenge is likely this year.

At Watson's Cozy Corner theater in Brooklyn last night one of the best wrestling matches was seen by a large crowd of wrestling fans. The contestants were H. H.

Tgeberg failed to dowI. his opponent in fifteen min- utes. as he agreed, and the purse of $50 was awarded to Calvin. Florrie Barnett was referee.

 GAPING THIS CASE

CLASH OF MAGNATES
 WILL HURT LEAGUE

Dan O'Neil said yesterday that no money would tempt him to be presi- dent of the Connecticut league, while he owned franchise, even though his election had been on the square and above board. He is not looking for any office in the league, but hopes to see matters amicably settled.
 In speaking of the afternoon meet ing at Hotel Garde, New Haven, MT O'Neil said that all of the cities were represented except New Haven and Meriden. Holyoke was represented by F. H. Prindiville and Fred Winkler, Springfield by Dan O'Neil, Hartford by W. J. Tracy and Manager Ken nedy, Bridgeport by James H. O'Rourke, New London by c. H. which was held by Secretary

Bris- tol, representing Meriden, were not present. He suggested waiting for them, but at 2:45 o'clock the meeting was called
 MT O'Neil at this meeting suggested that the session be adjourned to even ing in order that full board could be present, but he was voted down. He then insisted on calling Mir Danatler hy telephone and took Manager Ken nedy with him to hear the conversa- ton. He could not get MT Danaher by phone and so returned to the meeting.
 The election of officers then took place, the nominating committee con- sisting of Messrs Tracy, Humphrey and Prindiville. There wasg a move ment on foot to dump Danaher as vice-president and nut in Tracy, but O'Neil and PrindiviIie objected. The final outcome of the election of the old board. as follows: President. Sturgfs Whitlock; vice-president, C.. J. Danaher: secretary. James H. O'Rourke: treasurer, F. H. Prindiville.
 The question of awarding the pen nant was then taken up and it was awarded to Rrtdseport after it had been voted to throw out the games in which Tuckev pitched.

 When renOminatiOn for the mayoral. ty in New Haven was suggested to Judge Robertson he replied: Il would not take nomination or even accept an election as mayor. I could not af- ford to do SO I did aspire to be gov. ernor of the state, and l think that is an aspiration any man may have and not be ashamed of.
