COED HADN'T TIME
 TO BE ARRESTED
Big Park Policeman Stops Fair Eques.
 trienne on Chicago's Boulevard, But She Begs Off.

Chicago-Miss Mary Isabelle Brush, 6 University of Chicago girl and former editor of the woman's edition of the Uni. versity of Chicago weekly. escaped being arrested for fast riding in Washington park by convincing mounted police man that she had dinner engagement She was riding large bay horse that was not shod for slippery weather Twice the horse slipped, and once Miss Brush, who is an expert horsewoman was compelled to jump from the saddle
 "Ithink the horse grew restive because of his summer shoes In this wintry weather" Miss Brush said And about that time he discovered that he had the advantage of a snaffle bit So off he started on what proved to be race witl municipal law"
 Just as the policeman overlook her an automobile went crashing through another ordinance from another direc. tion.
 "You can't possibly arrest both me anf the automobile owner" said Miss Brush "and the city would profit more from ths auto"

The policeman, with his hand on tha horses bridle. looked perplexedly after the receding machine.
 'I had no intention of breaking ths speed ordinance" the university girl again tried to explain.
 Sorry" said the policeman. But hs logged along beside her.
 ''I have little money with me" shG tentatively ventured. He did not heaf her. Then it was in desperation that that she laid bare her social plans for the day. But can't be arrested. I'vd got to go home and dress for dinner. How do you suppose could dine out like this? You're ever so kind, but really haven't time to ride down to the station"
 The tone was final and the policeman, taking her name and address, rode away.
 Miss Brush, who lives with her fatheS at 5515 Washington avenue, was quits we'll known as an accomplished eques- trienne in Indianapolis, where she and Miss Adelaide Fairbanks, the vice-pres- ident elects daughter, were accustomed to ride through the city without even the restraint of gloomy look.

 "The flames burst up. The wretched girls screamed frantically, but in vain, while their frenzied mother tried to rush into the fire and rescue them. The vil- lagers, convinced that they were at a pious work, sang hymns and prayed.
 "As the girls sank back in the flames their father. who had been absent from the village. returned. Hearing the news he dashed among the crowd with a hatchet and clove the witch doctors skull to the chin"

BIG PURSE OFFERED.

After the fight Wednesday night, when McGovern bested Tommy Mur phy and showed a surprising return of much of his old-time form and strength, Jack McGuigan, manager of the National Athletic club of Phila- delphia, offered a guaranteed purse of $7,000 or 80 per cent of the gross re- ceipts for a match between McGovern and Young Corbett. 'LateEethisa 6gsre was raised.
 Corbett accepted. at once, but Me Govern and his manager held off. They want fight with Battling Nelson first, and as Billy Nolan, the Battler's s manager. has signified desire for such meeting at any time. 1t is probable that the champion will be the next to meet the Brooklyn boy.
 The National Athletic club wants this bout also, and the indications are that it will be pulled off there. Cor bett accepts the offer as follows:
 "OffeE of S10,0O0 here. for meeting between me and McGoyern. I will box him, and if I do not best him in six rounds he can take the purse. will do 12s pounds at 8 o'clock.

gw The cozyIo and commodious athletic hall which is being built by Manager Joe Lawlor of the Simonsville Athletic club is fast nearing completion. Tn three weeks time everything will be finished and then for the rest of the winter the public will be treated to some good wrestling matches. The management has not yet decided whGr the opening card will be but the ap- plications have come in so rapidly from all over the country that the pub lie can be assured of at least three good contests. The matchmaker of the club had card published in some or the western papers and few of the eastern journals and he never realized that there were so many wrestlers in the country who have made applica- ton for matches. Rest assured there will be some hot ones here this win ter. Everybody wants to get on in the opening matches and some of the big fellows are willing to come for very little percentage in order to get line on the club house.

BROWN IN THE LEAD.

bhONN N IN THE LEAD.
 In the scoring line Brown still looms ahead of any of the eastern eleyens, with the Indians second and Princeton a close third. All three have played one more game than Yale, who also has crossed the 100 mark in points, but lead the Ellis by sufficient margin to probably be ahead of them should the Blue also have played nye games. In stanchness of defence, Yale and the Indians have shown up better than any of the oth- CTS except Annapolis and Lafayette. who, like the New Haven and Carlisle teams, have so far kept their goal line inyiolate. Several western teams also have not been scored on, a state of affairs which, with Michigan i'm the field, has been more frequent In the west in late years than in the east. The scoring in the west, however. has not averaged as heavy as in previous years. Yale has averaged a little over four touchdowns game, counting goals from touchdowns in with the rouchdowns. Brown has averaged over six touchdowns a game. the In dians nearly six. Pennsylvania not quite four, Cornell not quite three, Columbia something over two. Har. yard about three and Annapolis four. Exclusive of yesterdays games points scored by the various teams are as follows:

TERRY AND
 BATTLING ONE
Nelson May Take on nc. Govern = Big Offer for Terry and Young Corbett Buddy Ryan Injured.

Kansas City, Oct 2O.--"If McGoyern has really come to himself again he will probably be the next opponent for Battling Nelson," said Billy Nolan, Nelson's manager, Wednesday night, while discussing the result of McGoy- erns match in Philadelphia.
 T have always considered him a great fighter, and I am much pleased at the result of the fight, in which he seems to have displayed all of his old, time brilliancy," he continued. Me Govern was always dangerous man, and am not surprised that the match ended as it did.
 When McGoyern went to the bad and was placed in q sanitarium ill New York my great regret was that he had not lasted long enough to give Nelson show at him. The styles of both boys are somewhat the same, as each likes to mix matters, and go, for that reason, between them would probably be a great success. Both weigh the same, and therefore are natural rivals. Now that McGoyern seems to have re- covered his old form, nothing would please me better than match be tween the two.
 You can say for me that whenever suitable purse is offered I am ready to sign articles of agreement for a Nelson -McGovern fight at any time."
