An observer at Cottage City, Martha's Vine

upward with terrific force and rapidity, and
that "the sea at the foot Of the spout was like

of air that results in the little whirlwinds that

water, however, is vastly greater than that of a

of sturdy ships being smitten by such destruct-

to limp into port. while others have been smashed
beyond repair and deserted by their crews.

THE OLD. OLD STORY.

As the day for the big contest be. tween Yale and Harvard approaches those hard luck stories are again emanting from the blue camp. The coaches are declaring that Knox be- cause of wrenched shoulder will not be able to take his place at half, and that Roome will also be out of the contest. The coaches fear that if these two men have to stay on the side lines Saturday Yale will be considera- bly, weakened and may meet defeat. But it is safe to say that Yale will be fit Saturday and so fit that Harvard will have her hands full all during the game. The Yalensians because of the ult1matum which the Harvard coaches sent to Yale in regard to of ficials are all the more eager to defeat Harvard and if there Is any chance they undoubtedly will do SO. Harvard has been playing the baby very ire quently of late and many would not he surprised to see Yale sever connec- tion with that college.

JIM JErFRIEs HAS ACCEPTED.

Los Angeles, Nov 22.-Jlm Jeffries has accepted the offer of $1,50O to ref cree the Jack O'Brien-Tommy Burns fight here November 29. the night be- fore Thanksgiving. for $l2,GW purse While the figure to be paid Jeff is about as much as ordinary ref erees get in six or eight months, Jeff will be worth the price in many ways.
 This O'Brien- Burns fight is rather a hard one to guess" says Jeffries. but if they fight straight Quecnsbcr- " rules O'Brien should win, for he is the better boxer If Burns plays on OBrien's stomach much he should win, for I understand O'Brien can't take much punishment there.
 T can't give much of an opinion on the coming fight, for I don't know what the conditions are: but O'Brlen has a shade the best of 1t if they break clean. for think he is the bet ter boxer. There can be no hitting in the cIlnches for it Is impossible for any man to hit if he is holding the other man with both hands. The fighter who holds with one hand and hits with the other is committing a foul and runs the chance of being dis qualified. It should be a good fight. but O'Brien has no cinch. for Burns Is a hard little man to thrash

GRIDIRON NOTES.

Harvard has splendid array of
 kickers and should be able to hold
 Yale in exchange of punts. Princeton will have its backfield
 intact next year, as nine of the men
 will be graduated this June. Roome is playing like fiend in practice for Yale and will without
 doubt get Into the game for one half at least on Saturday.
 Western critics have gracefully ac- cepted the inevitable. "The east leads in football--this season." de- clares a Chicago authority.
 "I don't see how Harvard can beat us." declared trainer Mack. of Yale, recently. He figures the Blue to be the fastest in all departments.
 The demand for the Yale-Haryard tickets this year seems to be bigger than for several years back. The field will seat about 3s.000 persons.
 Graydon, who has been playing we'll in practice for Harvard, is brother of the famous fullback Tom Graydon. who helped Harvard crush Yale in 1901.
 Some persons thought that the Harvard football squad on its way to New Haven might drift towards this city and remain at The Elton over Friday night.
 The Penn freshmen will visit Tth- aca Saturday for the second game of the season against the Red and White youngsters. The Quakers won at home 6 to 0.
 Yale men believe that Starr. Har- wards brilliant end will he well cared for by Forbes. Those who saw the Yale Giant against the Tigers have . heap of respect for the ex- tackle.
 Eckersali. the great Chicago quar- ter and kicker. will play his last game as a coliegian Saturday. In his honor. Coach Stagg has invented new plays in which Eckie will show his ground gaining powers.
 Michigan is not very much dis over the fact that Pennsyl- vania defeated Vests eleven. They know that their eleven this year is weak and only three of the regulars were in the game on Saturday.
 The Dartmouth college players get hardened for football by practicing on a snow-covered field. A vigorous example of severe New England weather is always to be found In hiIiy Hanover during the football season.
 Yale would like very much to per- suade Harvard to accept Mike Thompson as referee for Saturdays game. but 1t is doubtful if the Grim son coaches will agree to the Water bury oficial Harvard wants wrenn to umpire and Yale Is rather shaky about him. Why not compromise. having Thompson referee and wrenn umpire2

THE PUGILIsTs
STILL WRANCLINC OVER PICTURES
Law Suit to Determine Who Own, ths Cans and Nelson
 Fight Films.

| Cincinnati, Nov 22-The wrangle over the Nelson-Gans fight pictures goes nlerrily on. The matter has now reached tue courts. and there is no telling when n final settlement will he made.
 James E. Feilnessy, manager of the Peoples and Heuck's theaters. and one of the officers of the Enlpire Cir cult company has in his possession almost S7,OOO for which there are two claimants. and to settle the uuestioa or ownership he brought suit to-day In the circuit court on behelf of the Empire Circuit company against the Cans s-Nelson-G Goldfield Picture com pany, c. l.. Rickard. known as Texas Rickard, and Billy Nolan.
 In the bill of complaint Colonel Fennessy sets out that on October 15 last he contracted with the defenl- ants to display the pictures of tie Nels0n-Gans fight at the various theaters of the Empire company. The contract was to last six weeks, and the defendants were to receive one third of the receipts at all the thea ters except at St Louis. where they were to receive 30 per cent
 As a result of this Fennessy states that he has in his possession $6- 118.M Nolan claims that he was to receive one-third of the net receipts and the Gans-NelsOn company the other two thirds. However, Nolan has set up claim that he is entitled to all of it on account of previous contract growing out of the exhi5i- tion of other pictures. and the Cans Nelson company, by the same con tract, also claims the entire amount Each side threatens to hold Fennessy liable if he pays over any part of the money to the other. and he filed the action to avoid being molested any further. Richards threat of having Nolan arrested has not yet been car ried out.
