OH. WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

Jimmy Reardon last night was q fighter bold. This morning he was no, so bold.
 "Hooray" he remarked, with an ex. cess of election enthusiasm, as he walked into a Broadway cafe last nighs T can lick anybody, from James ]. Jeffries down to Kid Stein, an that goes if they hear it."
 Several heard 1t, but they were peacably inclined and bore with him. In the patient crowd were Young Cor. bett, Abe Attell, Frank Dwyer. Billy Day. Tom 0'Rourke. and last, but cer. tainly not least, Charley Mitchell.
 The party got to playing yes and as Monster Butt-In Reardon was so anxious. he was allowed. show-In and lost. When,it came his turn to pay for wine he pleaded brokenness in pocket, and, out of the exuberance of his good nature, Billy Day settled. And as Mr Reardon didn't know any of the party 1t was easy to try few experiments. 8eG
 At first he was game SHe allowed Attell to punch him in tlIe eye in a nice, friendly manner several times. Tn fact, this morning one of his ocular organs must be black and blue. Then Young Corbett got ambitious, and. for. getting the bump. that Unk Russell gave him the other night over the left lamp, he sailed in and administered a few welts to the ambitious Reardon. The stranger showing continued gay. ety, the party continued to show him the gaits. Tom o'Rourke, even, took chance and stood the gentleman off. and Frankie Dwyer also landed a few wallops. Billy Day then invaded the field and administered about six we'll placed jaw jolts and solar plexuses.
 But Mir Reardon was hard to still.

BATTLING NELsONs wooING.

Cincinnati, Nov 1.-The story O, Battling Nelson's wooing is romance interwoven with his remarkable cl1mh to topnotch honors in the ring. He met the little girl who was later to deal him loves knockout blow while train ing for his battle with Eddie Hanlon He wooed her while getting ready to meet Young Corbett, and won her just before he laid Jimmy Britt low.
 He was hiking along a California road on one of his long cross-country runs two years ago when, hot and thirsty, he stopped at pretty coun- try roadhouse at Fairfax, about seven miles from his training quarters at Larksptir.
 "Margueriter' called the mistress of the hostelry in response to Nelson's call for a bowl of fresh milk. A shy little Italian maid brought the refresh ing liquid. That was Miss Marguerite Balangero, the 16-year-old Italian beauty destined in future to become Mrs Battling Nelson She was then 14, and Nelson hardly noticed her ex- cept to remark how pretty she was.
 But his country runs brought hln again to the roadhouse. and by the time of the Corbett fight his heart was gone. The maid was coy. but siIr was in love, too, and finally whispered Yes It was to her that Battling Nelson sent the first news of each vic tory, and the morning after he became champion by licking Britt he hurried to her side to let her share in the glory of the triumph.

 FOOTBALL NOTES.
 The All-Waterbury eleven, after a hard game in Naugatuck to-day. will line up against the Mohawks of New haYen at Riverside park tomorrow af. ternoon. Although the chances are that the Waterbury eleven will win to-day 1t should prove stubborn con. test and Batchelder's men sbould ha rather weary for to-morrow's game Nevertheless there is a goodly number or substitutes on hand and if the regIl. lars are not in condition the former should easily defeat the visitors.
 The Gilbert school of Wipsted is hat. tiing with the Crosby High at River side park this afternoon. The latter appeared in their new sweaters and expected to defeat the visitors.
 Harvard is an odds on fayorite hut Penn can play with any lineup she wishes today.
 President Harris of Amherst says that Captain Hubbard is too much of man to turn coward's trick.
 Princeton and Cornell will have a sort of cannibalistic game today. They reel like eating each other up.
 Underground reports have it that Draper has been playing at left guarl Tor Penn in the secret practice.
 Coach Folsom of Dartmouth is fol. lowing the Yale policy of being as glum as possible to prevent oyer.cop- fldence among his men.
 Holy Cross has few subs for tbe game with Syracuse to-day and if the eleven Is battered hard the game may be lost because of this.
 Yale hopes to use a lot of subs to- day against Brown but it's a certain ty that the Blue will not begin the game with second-strfng men.
 In three seasons Syracuse has been defeated on its grounds by but two teams, Brown and Colgate. Holy Cross will struggle gamely today to get In- i to this list.
 Lockwood, the Harvard sprinter. who has been used at fulIback lately. was uDheard of as a football player up to few weeks ago. Now be is | very promising as future star.
 Terms have been asked for by the | university of Jim Ho- | gan. He is wanted to succeed Foot | Dall Coach Walter E. Mccormack.
 Northampton sports are betting ey. an money that Amherst will not score. | Folsom, the Dartmouth coach, says I hat such wagers are foolish. Most lf all are in some persons after thoughts.
 It is claimed that GIlligan, the for ner Holy Cross sub-fuIIbaek. told 1oach Cavanaugh to go somewhere when the coach ordered him into the Amherst game. Mir GIlligan evidently 'eels his oats.
 Walter Camp says that after an tn- peetion Of the Canadian style of play. ng the gHme. he finds much to com mend. The frequency of passes is a lleasing feature and tends to make he game exciting.
 In the future the Northwestern uni- -ersity players will have brown leeves in their jerseys. Coach Me iormack believes that purple Ia too asily distinguished by opposing play rs especially when carrying the ball

Reed was one of the men present at the ses- sion with President Roosevelt when the matter of roughness on the field was discussed, and as the president Is a graduate of Harvard 1t is more than likely that he was indirectly responsi- ble for the letter. Reeds reason for giving it out at the present is a sus- picion that if he waited until the close of the year the enthusiasts would say that 1t was the poor showing of liar yards aggregation. provided Yale de- feated 1t. that brought ont the epistle.

POLICE CHIEF
IS NOT NAMED
Commissioners Do Not An
nOUnce Who Is to Take
George w. Wittman's Place
ASKS FOR REHEARING
Ex-Sergeant Thomas Ellis,
Who Was Dismissed, Makes
a Plea to Be Reinstated
ASKS FOR REHEARING

Contrary to all expectations, the new
Chief Of Police was not named by the
Commissioners last night. Though Ser
geant Ellis place was filled by the pro-
motion of Corporal William NJ. Ross,
and the vacancies caused by the re-
moval of the patrolmen Of his squad
were filed from the eligible list, the
matter Of the appointment Of a new
Chief was not touched.
Rumor was persistent before and dur
ing the meeting that the appointment
would be announced and that Detec-
tive Sergeant Jerry Dinan would be the
man selected The board did not touch
the matter, however. All three Com
missioners maintain that they are in
no hurry to announce who has been
chosen.
The application Of Sergeant Ellis for
a rehearing was filed and laid on the
table for two weeks. Ellis seeks an
other hearing on two grounds: That
the board had no jurisdiction TO hear
and determine upon the charges, ana
that there was no evidence introduced
TO sustain either or any of the charges
made" Ellis also asks that the order
of dismissal be set aside. Attorney r.
/. Mogan is acting for the eX-sergeant.
The following appointments were
made: Corporal William NJ. Ross was
made sergeant, Patrolman A. ]. f.
Noting was made corporal and John j.
Sullivan, Frank Z. MahOney and Will
liam Quinlan were appointed patrol
men.
It was determined to provide all pa
troll wagons with appliances for hand
ling Of live wires in case of fire or
other emergency. The instruments will
be selected from specifications fur
nished by w. r. Hewitt Of the Board of
Electricity.
The Commissioners, accompanied by
acting Chief Spillane, will inspect all
the theaters Saturday afternoon to de-
ternine which ones are run in violation
OF the theater ordinance.
1t is now certain that the original
programme to appoint Alexander
succeed Hutton, and Herbert Schmitz
as secretary Of the Park Commission in
place Of James de Succa, who will be
transferred to the storekeepership of
the Board Of Education, vice Thomas
Eagan, appointed Commissioner of
Works, will be carried out by Mayor
Schmitz in a day or two. The appoint
ments were all foreshadowed in The
Call shortly after Hutton's removal.
There was a hitch in the programme
owing to the fact that Herbert Schmitz
was induced by his friends to urge his
brother to name him as Police Com
missioner. In fact. Herbert went so far
as TO secure his official bond for the
commissionership. The Mayor has final
ly dissuaded him from accepting a post
where he viii be subjected to more or
less criticism and to content himself
with his old place as secretary of the
Park Commission, where his salary, If
not the honor, is much greater.
