spEH AND DAVIS.

New London. Nov 22-Grover Davis the New London wrestler, who has made long strides in that game in tEs last two years, went up against the stiffest opponent in his career fin Frank Speh of Derby at the New London opera house last night. Speh claims the lightweight championship of Con nectieut and seems to be entitled 10 it. He won one fall and lost one to Davis the bout being decided a draw.
 Davis in sixteen matches has never been defeated. Last night was the first time his shoulders have ever touched the mat and then 1t wns be cause his opponent knew more about the game than he. Davis gave an ex- hIbition of brawn as compared to Speh's skill Speh knows all the little tricks that count and Davis had hard work sauirming out of many holds that the Derby boy put onto him.
 Davis got his fall. the first. in 21 minutes and 6 seconds. The match was to be for the best two in three falls and the time limit was an hour. gpeh got his fall in 3s minutes and 90 seconds. when the match was all but four seconds of being over.

THERE'S MONEY IN IT.

The receipts of the Yale football team from the Princeton game were only a little below S3000O. All the seats for the Harvard game have been sold, and as this means 34.O00 tickets, 1t is figured that Yale and Harvard will each have S34.000. On this basis the receipts this year will be the great est in the history of the game. When the Yale team makes about $63,000 in two games it is great business, but whether 1t Is the best thing for a cen ter of education Is another question. It is impossible that the preparation for such events should nOJ unsettle the whole course of scholastic work for some tlme.-Hartford Times.

 Fo0tbaU
Sightless Team of tie Ken tacky Institute c Won- de,Jal Feature of Ah- letic World ;sr:5ssLosg Schedule of Games---De- teated r. M. c. 4.

The millions who have at various times watched with most intense and partisan interest the struggle for su. premacy of two football teams, noted the tricks of the game, the bulldog te nacity, the giantlike strength, the cun. ming and at times ferociousness of these gladiators of the gridlron, will find some difficulty in grasping and ac- cepting the statement that in Louis vile there are eleven blind boys who play the game for all there is in it. These boys are just as cunning as their seeing opponents, as scientific as their needs demand. full of pluck and endurance and splendid courage and at all times as keenly alive to what is going on around them as though they were gifted with sight.
 To the uninitiated this seems impos- sible. but there Is reason in plenty for its not being impossible. First of all. the inmates of the Kentucky Institute For the Blind are just like any other boys. with the same instincts. the same love for fun and the same wholesome desire for supremacy. In q general way they are absolutely unconscious of the fact that they do not see, because nature. having denied them vision, as we understand 1t, has turned their ten fingers. their ears and every muscle of their bodies into so many eyes where with they may have vision after their kind Strange as it may seem. blind

WRESTLING.
IS SWANSON
 GOING BACK
He Was Thrown Easily Three Times Up in Tor rington By John Perrell ii au1W9 Wrestler of Unknown Quality

Reports from Torrington, where the wrestling match between Alex Swan son of this city and John Perrell of Torrington took place on Saturday night, intimate that Swanson is lgoing back as mat artist. While the match was at Graeco-Roman and not catch as-catch-can. 1t must be remembered that Graeco-Roman was Swanson's old stronghold. It was in this style that he expected to defeat Harvey Parker the night Parker gave him the double cross down in the old rink building in the west end. Perrell has not been heard of much as a wrestler, but to throw Swanson three falls in forty one and one-quarter minutes proves con- cluslvely that Swanson is deterlorating or less the match was a phony one. Either way the results were not ad- vantageous to Swanson for future matches. The first fall was gained in II minutes, the second in 15h and the third in 15 minutes. Pretty quick time for a champion welterweight to be thrown by a man who was never heard of among the top-notchers.

 It is nearly four years since any cer- tain attempt was made to develop the
 boy" in the blind boys of the insti-
 ute. They are by nature playful and full of peht up animal spirits, anxious for all kinds of sports, but not know Ing just how to go about 1t.
 During the first year the task was not an easy one Though the boys were anything but stupid, the very contrary being true, those who have played football and watcher tIie game from bleachers and grand stands know its difficulties and can therefore fully appreciate just what these little blind would be athletes had to contend with
 The following year the thing was cas- fer, and during the season of 1904 the football eleven made most remark able record. playing three games, win ming one and tying two. This season they arranged schedule running up to Thanksgiving. and every game has been with a team averaging from eight to fifteen pounds heavier to the man.
 Some of the plays made by these blind boys are really little short of wonderful. In rushing the ball they are particularly strong. It is only in defensive tactics that they evidence any notable weakness, and their in- ability to see as their opponents see is then hardest to overcome.
 "On offensive work" said Coach Gregory, Jr,. q honestly think that my boys are vastly superior to any team of even weight. How do I account for thatf These boys cannot see their op- ponents coming at them with blood ln their eye. so to speak. and they are not therefore seized with any feeling of shrieking or of fear of injury. They literally plunge bllndly ahead. and they generally get there"

SULLIVAN AND sLAYIN.

John l.. Sullivan and Frank Slavin on boxing tour over the world.
 How's that for a combination of oid-timers to go out and arouse en- tbusiasm that has been slumbering for many years. and get the money?
 We'll. it sounds good. and if letter from Slavin to friend in New York is to be regarded. fC is "a strong proha-. bility. Frank, who is in the KIendike. unless he has departed from the gold fields quite recently, says he is under contract to give boxing exhibitions with John L., and that 1t will not be many moons ere he sets foot in New York. Sullivan. who is now doing stunts in a show out west. will prob ably join the Australian in New York.

BRITT ys BEZENAH.

Cincinnati, O., Nov 22.-Jimmy Britt is ready to fight Andy Bezenah, Gin cinnati lightweight, providing satls- factory terms can be arranged, and there is possibility that such a match may be arranged for some time late in December or early in January.
 'I'd like nothing better than to get chance to try out the fight game around Cincinnati" said Britt last night, just before his exhibition match at the Peoples theater.
 Just at present Bezenah Is way out of condition. He was in a doctors care the night he bested Maurice Say CTS, and fought largely on his nerve. He proved his grit that day, but wants to be fully recovered before he takes on any more matches.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Distriet At torney Jerome now knows the name of the man who furnished the 5000 cash baif7that enabled, krup. the foater. to escape from the jurisdiction of the criminal branch of the supreme court here a few hours before his case was called for trial.
 The name was revealed to the grand jury by Charles r. Dillon. Krup's counsel. who turned the money over to George Simpson. Simpson deposited 1t with the city chamberlain.
 It was told by Dillon that the man who put up the s5.000 cash bail for Krup was John F. Pickett, a saloon keeper of 261 Third avenue.
 Pickett has been subp0enaed by At. torney General Mayer to appear be- fore the grand jury today. Through him the authorities hope to learn who is the Krup man higher up.
 Dillon gave the important informa. ton only after he had been taken be- fore Recorder Con and instructed to answer every question put to him rather than risk Imprisonment. When the grand jury adjourned Dillon was taken to the office Of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Sandford. where he was questioned st length about the bail transaction. John ]. Murphy. Alder man Ganfney and some other promi- nent politicians of the Eighteenth as- sembly district will testify In the grand jury inquiry into the Krup case.
 John Newman. a wealthy contractor, was one of the witnesses subpoenaed. He went on the original bond for Krup for sI.000 He was not called to the grand jury room. but told the reporters that 1t was not he who put up the $5.OO0.
 There Is a story current that Krup had agreed to plead guilty and take his medicine under agreement that be should be paid $500 upon his release and that every effort would be made to secure him a pardon. But. the story goes. Krup got cold feet as soon as be attained his liberty on bail and Instead of slowing ID for trial ss be pF5.a.s.l he skipped.
