THE PUGILlSTS
'WALCOTT AND
 RHODES DRAW
Inc Battle Went Twenty Round,
 With Honors Even - Other - ..s Fight News of Interest.

Kansas City. Mo. Oct 1.-It a twenty-round battle for the cham pionship, Joe Walcott and Billy Rhodes fought draw yesterday on an island in the Missouri river, near this city.
 It was one of the cleanest and best fights that have even been held In this vicinity, and, was an even break from first to last.
 Rhodes got the draw on his ability to block the wallops of Walcott, who was unable to land an effective blow on account of Rhodes clever cover- ing up tactics. Time and time again Walcott made desperate efforts to swing in knockout blow, but each time he was cleverly foiled by Rhodes closing in for clinch. > Rhodes did the better inflghting and forced that part of the bout. The last three rounds were more open than any other part of the fight, both fighters being anxious to land the winning punch.
 Rhodes did his most effective work in the eighteenth round, when he had Walcott groggy by g repeated tattoo to the wind and head. Walcott came back in the next round and gave just as hard punishment.
 Neither fighter was knocked on his feet during the twenty rounds. Rhodes took most of his punishment on the head, which was the only place Walcott was able to land ef- fectively, while Rhodes landed all over the colored mans body and gave him severe punishment in the clinch- e.
 Both fighters were in excellent condition. Rhodes weighted in at 147 pounds and Walcott tipped the beam at IA. At the end of the twentieth both were fresh. Walcott hurt his left hand with a hard straight drive to Rhodes head In the seventeenth and used that member only in clinches afterward.

NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING
PITCHED TO HER HEART.
Benson. Whose Ball Team Won. Wins
 . Society Belle.

Wilmington, Del, Oct 1.--Another romance of the ball field developed yesterday. The principals are Ross Benson of Rockville, Md, a college pitcher. who played this season on the Bridgeville team, and Miss Mar tha Burnite, daughter of a former state treasurer, w. H. Burnite of Fel- ton.
 Benson won many games for his club, which captured the champion ship of Delaware. and the heart of Miss Burnite as well. The engage ment was announced to-day and the wedding will shortly be celebrated. Miss Burnite saw Benson pitch his team to victory on many occasions this season, and her admiration of his prowess developed into love, with the engagement as result.
 Several other college ball players played on the Delaware club this year, and other engagements have been announced. Miss Burnite is a society belle, which adds to the TO- nance of the engagement.

ATHLETES STUDY LAW.
One of Them, . Boxer, Has Also
 Bought . Saloon.

Doc" Cote. left fielder on the Norwich baseball team, reached Now Haven Friday for his second year at Yale Law school. He established a reputation as an outfielder on tte Yale varsity. Cote had an average at the bat of .250 in the season just closed, and this is considered good for the first year a Norwich man breaks into fast company. The Rose buds received $50 each for their post-season work. Cote says the boys were not in good shape for the games with the New England league clubs as they had not recovered from the reception which their Norwich friends gave them, which was said to be sumpin' fierce.
 J. J. McSherry, instructor in box ing at Yale. who Is also studying law in the ofilce of James M. Sullivan. has decided to buy the cafe at 139 Meadow street in New Haven and conduct 1t. He can still study law. but he won't have time to teach the Yale boys how to box. His successor on the faculty will be Mosey King. the boy wonder of New London. who is lightweight champion of Connecti- cut Mosey will not take up his work at Yale until about November 1. Nc Sherry Friday declined a salary of $500. outside of fees. to teach boxing at Cornell. The fees of a boxing in- structor amount to considerable in the course of a year. and there is a movement on foot to have the work placed on . salary basis. This move ment is independent of that regard ing sheriffs and probate judges

WAS EASY FOR INLAND.

San Francisco. Oct 1.-Dick Hy- land of San Francisco won decision over Eddie Hanlon Friday night at the Seaside Athletic club.
 Referee Jack Welch stopped the contest at the end of the thirteenth round with Hanlon hanging helpless against the ropes and unable to de- fend himself.
 The fight throughout was stub bornly contested, and replete with hard hitting. Hyland landed the cleaner and more forceful blows. and was never in distress.
 Early in the twelfth round. as Hanlon bent low, he received fear full right uppercut to the jaw. which was the beginning of the end. Hy- land followed his advantage and hammered his opponent all over the ring.
 The contest was the first profess sional exhibition of its kind given in this city since the earthquake.

Young Corbett is not to be dis appointed after all. and will get an other chance in the ring despite the fact that his bout with Terry Mo Govern has been called off as a result of injudicious advertising.
 Corbett has been matched with Amby McGarry. and the battle will take place before one of the Phila- delphia clubs within the next few weeks.
 In the meantime Young Corbett Is in Stamford getting into shape. When he read that the McGovern fight was on he felt very badly. The following letter was written before the McGarry match vas made:

THE GRlDIRON
FIRST VICTORY FOR
 ALL WATERBURY
Before . Biz Crowd the Elm City Nonpareils Were Shut Out
 Scores of Other Games.

The football season in this city started yesterday under favorable auspices. the All-Waterbury team having a comparatively easy time with the Nonpareils of New Haven, the score being 12 to o. The game did not give very good opportunity to get line on the new rules, as the contest was not close enough for any need to resort to trick plays. Wa terbury had no trouble in making her ten yards in three downs while the visitors did not once make the coveted distance by line bucking. The Waterbury team, while 1t appeared much faster than at this time last year, has yet to prove 1t Is stronger than last years aggregation, due no doubt to the absence of few of the men who will in all probability jump into the game soon.
 The day. although rather warm for football, was just the kind for the spectators and big crowd was on hand, when Referee Fred Druehl blew his whistle for the commence ment of the game. Waterbury won the toss and chose the eastern goal. The Nonpareils booted the leather and the good old game was on. Shee- han caught the ball on the thirty yard line and carried 1t back fifteen yards before he was tackled. The home team then started a series of plunges through the line and around the end and took the pigskin down the field at pretty fast clip, al- though they lost 1t once on downs, they soon regained 1t, and within nine minutes after play started the ball was not far from the visitors line. Joe" Daily was pushed over the chalk mark for the first touch- down just ten minutes after the whistle had blown. Cronin kicked the goal. The ball see-sawed round the center of the field for the remain der of the half and was there when the first round was over.
 In the second half Waterbury kicked of, but the Nonpareils could make no headway against the line of their opponents, so the ball was soon in the possession of last years cham pions.
 Manager Slavin's men then car ried the ball to the Nonpareils' three yard line when the Elm City men put up f1ne defense and took the ball on downs. An attempt was made to punt, but 1t was very miserable try and Sheehan fell on the leather on the flfteen-yard line after Stowe had fumbled 1t. It was not very difficult matter then for the home team to push the ball to the goal. sending Daly over the second touch- down. Cronin again kicked goal. There was not much hard play dur ing the remainder of the game as the players seemed to be tired out. The score:
 All-Waterbury. Nonpareils. L. Cronin .............. Carson
