NELSON SHOOTING DEER.

Butte, Mont, Nov. 21.-Battling Nelson, the pugilist, has returned to Minot, Mont, from hunting trip in the mountains.
 The Nelson party, consisting of Clarence Parker. Horace Peck, Art Me Gahey. Ed Sole, Bill Jarvis, Harry Harp and Nelson, came in from Char lie Howets camp, where they spent seven days in hunting deer and had a very successful hunt, bagging eigh- teen deer and one coyote.
 This is the first big killing report ed this season, and may be the larg- est. as there are many hunters out on the same grounds that they were on and up to the time the Nelson party left had but very few deer
 The party was hunting in the vici- nifty of Stroud, on the Missouri river twelve miles from Williston, \. D., and the members are so elated over the hunt that they have planned to make a trip there next season.

NANTUCKET THIS EVENING They Beat Providence Last Night and Will Give Us a Run
 New Britain Lost.

Pawtucket will make her first ap- pearance here this evening and the fans should turn out and give Dicky Pierce and the other Rhode Island CTS a welcome. The two teams are about evenly matched and the fight will be all the closer. It will be battle royal. The locals have been given a little tip that they must get into the game a little more speedy in the future, and you can bet they are going to make stab for that game tonight. The ice has been broken in the New Britain camp and now we'll see a whole lot of changes in the standing of the several teams. Waterbury does not belong where she is and should not be there. Mur- ray leads the rushers of the league in getting to the ball and there is no reason why we cannot make more goals than we have been doing. It will be Diff, bang, from now on and the locals will see to it that Pawtuck- ct will bite the dust tonight.

National League Standing.
POLO NOTES.
Pawtucket here tonight.
 It should be a red hot game.

It should be red hot game.
 New Britain finally got the lemon.
 Pawtucket beat Providence last night so that Waterbury will have to hustle tonight to pull out a victory. . Pretty rough game that one up in Hartford last night, with both teams being penalized on several occasions. Hartford wanted the game and got it.
 The referee assignments are: Do- herty. Thursday at Waterbury, Fri day at Bridgeport: Leahy, Friday at New Haven. Saturday at Hartford 1; Rorty, Saturday at New Britain.
 Pawtucket will give us a good run for our money tonight. The fans will have a chance to see for the first time Dicky Pierce. Cunningham, Cam erOn and Heffernan. That looks like pretty husky combination.
 The fans should not get cold feet if we are down near the end of the ladder. Just look at Harvard and the game she put up last Saturday and yet all the students are out for Har- yard against Yale for next Saturday. Get out and root.
 Several papers throughout the state are throwing it into Manager Me Mahon because he returned from the west without any players. They should remember that he was hust- ling to help the league out too by try ing to land 2 team for Boston.
 The schedule for the rest Of the week follows Tonight. Pawtucket at Waterbury: Friday. Providence at Pawtucket. Hartford at New Haven. Waterbury at Bridgeport; Saturday, Pawtucket at Providence. New Haven at Hartford. Bridgeport at New Bri- tain.
 The whole trouble with the Nation al league was that the managers did not heed the advice given them and begin the season when the western league did Had they done so they would have had the chance to cor some of the players noE doing stunts in the west

FOOTBALL NOTES.

Dartmouth's points for the season total 150. Only 10 points were scored against the Green, and they went to Amherst Vermont early in the sea- son held the Hanoverians to a nc- score, but the rest of the games were triumphs for the Green.
 Fullback Coy of Yale is nursing a pair of beautiful black eyes, which were presented to him in several of Saturdays scrimmages. Goebel is also carrying around damaged optic. Congdon has sprained ankle and Murphy and Brides complain of attacks of charley horse, but they are all expected to be in shape to face Harvard.
 Both Pennsylvania and Michigan have many complaints to make about the work of the officials in their game Saturday. It is generally admitted that they were very poor, but both teams suffered about alike in the de- cisions Michigan made a touchdown which was not allowed and Penn also lost one. Both teams are positive they were wrongly used in being de- nied the scores.
 Harvard's practice will be ahso- lutely secret now until the Yale game. Head Coach Joshua Crane. jr, has dis charged all of his assistants. with the exception of Dave Campbell. Oliver Cutts. Charlie Daly and Leo Daly are the coaches who have been drop ped. Coach Crane frankly admits that the responsibility for the play ing of the team. good. bad or indiffer- ent. whatever it may be. on Saturday, rests on his own shoulders.
 The recent games of the Navy have brought out the fact that Captain Douglas is the only backfeld player who can be depended upon to make q yard with any regularity. h Sat urday's game be practically gained every inch of ground. Boyntou and Burg. who played the other back posi- tions. being of no help to tue team in this particular. If Douglas should | meet with any injury. the Navy would have no attack worth mentioning for the Army game.
 The Films will practice tonight and tomorrow evening for the game with Thomsston Saturday in the clock town. It will be one of the hardest games that the Films will have to play during the present sea- son. As the ThOmastOn aggregation has played a tie game with the Naug- atuek and All Waterbury teams and have been defeated by the crack AcOrns by the bare margin of one point. the Ems will have to hustle. 4 big delegation of Waterbury fans will go along with the Eims-

Jack Blackburn Hammerd Fitzger. ald Hard Results of Other
 Fights.

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-Jack Black burn outpointed Harry Lewis in their six round bout at the National A. C., in this city, last night. Throughout the fight Blackburn was the cleverer boxer, but at times Lewis more than held his own. At the end the negro was the stronger, and had a decision been given it would have favored Blackburn.
 The contest was purely a boxing affair. It could hardly be called a fight. Both of the principals were clever and neither landed any real damaging blows. Blackburn s punches seemed to carry the most steam, but Lewis took them and came back for more, which he invariably received.
 The bell sounded, and the fight was on. Lewis was the first to lead, and he landed a light left to the wind. Blackburn landed two lefts to the body. All through this round the men depended mainly on their lefts and it was only at the end of the round that they essayed right leads.
 The second round was Blackburn's s. He landed some stiff left jabs and hooks, and sent his right across with good effect several times. Lewis still depended upon his left,but Blackburn was not bothered by his blows, and boxed as if he were punching bag. The third round was sparring ex. hibition, with honors about even Lewis took a brace in the fourth round and the men boxed rapidly Lewis showed some clever blocking and footwork, and had shade the better of the round.
 Blackburn again assumed the lea( in the fifth round and he landed SC often on Lewis that he made his op opponent look like a novice. The sixth round was a succession of exchanges of left and right jab: and was even. At the end Blackburn had shade the better of the contes on points, but neither man was mucf hurt

NEW BRITAIN LOST.

Hartford, Nov 21.-Hartford has the honor of taking the first game from New Britain, and this was done last night.
 The game was not as bloodthirsty as some imagined it would be. The first outbreak came when Allie Cog geshall of the Hartfords and Frank Warner of New Britain secured a death like grip upon each others throats and tried to get in few short hooks. The referee pulled them apart and called foul upon each. In tue last period, there was mixup near the Hartford goal and two players went down. The referee decided that Lincoln started the fuss and called a foul upon the famous rusher. This made the third foul on Hartford and took away one of the goals. The ref cree was urged to call foul upon New Britain as Jean had hand ill the pushing, but he said the man that started the roughhouse should suffer.
 Shortly after the scrap Jean sailed down the floor and gave Lincoln the shoulder. The referee saw the deliber- ate foul and called it. This was the third for New Britain and took d goal away from them. The New Britain captain tried to buster the referee out of it and dashed his stick on the floor like a baseball player throws his glove down to show his displeasure at an umpire's decision. But the referee wouldn't take back anything and all the fouls remained in force. Three were called upon Long John Wiley but they were accidental. He caught the ball in his hand once, and at another time he hit the ball while he was sprawled out on the floor.
 Hartford had four balls into the New Britain cage that rolled out. One was caged from the spot by Lincoln but it didn't stay ill. Warner caught ball on the rebound from the cage and pushed it into the cage with his There was big demonstration when Captain Hart caged the first goal for Hartford. The Hartfords played all around New Britain in the first period and at the end had Il lead of to 2. The visiting team took the lead in the second period by caging five goals, Hartford getting but one. Hartford played poorly in this period, although the rooters urged them to get into the game.
 The final round had not been in progress very long before Captain Hart put the ball behind Mitchell and tied the score. Lincoln followed this with another and Hart sent in one more Then Hartford lost a goal on fouls but Long John Wiley drove q ball from the end of the rink and as it was going into the cage, Hart gave it another crack.
 New Britain made the final goal. With but three minutes to play, Hart ford played a defensive game and won out. Captain Hart was knocked out by a terrific drive from Wiley. The big center hit the ball with full fore and before Hart had time 10 dodge the ball caught him on the right side of the head. He dropped to the floor and 1t was a few minutes be- fore he was resusciatated. When he was able to continue he was given q cheer for his great pluck. The line LID and summary:

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-11-21

The Yale freshmen this year did not equal the record of the freshmen eleven of the year before in not be- ing scored on, but they won every game, as did their predecessors. Yale freshman teams have not been beaten for the last two years, and only eight points have been scored on them in that time. Andover made two points against the present freshmen and the Princeton freshmen six, and that's all the scoring done against the Eli youngsters since 1905: The teams record this fall is: to against Will liston. IS to D against Andover, 6 to 0 against Exeter, 10 to ? against An dover. 22 to 6 against the Princeton freshmen and to 0 against the Har- yard freshmen.

THE GRlDIRON PRINCETON HAS GOOD NUCLEUS
Will Lose Some Good Players But Has Some Good Reserves
 Other News.

While Princeton loses five of its best players by graduation next June, there nevertheless will be a strong array of talent to begin the canl- paign next fall. The men who have played for the last time are Captain Mccormick, fullback; Phillips. center; Harlan, fullback, and Brown and Mister, ends. They are all good men, but with the possible exception of Me- Cormick there is no reason why some body cannot be developed to prove fully as good. Mccormick was pronI- inent in the eye chiefly as line break CT, but he was superb secondary de- fence player and did quite as much service backing up the line as he did on offense, though good deal Of his defensive work, being close to the line, was not in the limelight. To take his place there is, among others, McCrohan, the Holy Cross player, who being ineligible for the varsity this year, played on the scrub team. He is fast and heavy and knocked holes in the varsity line more than once in the practice. Another likely candidate for fullback is Coxe, '09. In losing Harlan Princeton loses skill full drop kicker and it will not be easy tc replace him.
 Almost without exception Princeton finds good ends, and though Mister and Brown set a high standard there are good fish in the sea. Welch, sophomore, has the first call on the position at present, with Dowd and | Vaughan of the second string to choose from, and one or two good freshmen To take Harlan's place there are Read, first substitute, who came mighty near qualifying for the Yale game, Orr, Ballou and Bishop the last named a former Michigan player who will eligible next year. | There isn't as much material for cen ter as for other vacancies. Cass, q junior, is the most probable man at i present. He is light, but steady and experienced. He used to play in the backfeld, but this is a day of versa tiliyt for football players and for light centers.
 Of the men who played against Yale there will be on hand next year Dillon the star quarterback and new captain; Booth and Siegling. the tackles; McFadyen and Waller, the guards; Welch, end, and Tibbott, half back. Dillon's work is too well known for comment at this time, and to un- derstudy him there are Dawson, who is a good one. and Bard, the fast quarterback of the freshman eleven. The Tigers are fortunate in having such a strong necleus for line. Booth and Siegling will be better play CTS next year than this, and that means a good deal, Buckingham and Bamman are tackle understudies of ability. Improvement may be expect ed at guard from McFadyen and Wal 1 Ter. neither of whom was strictly first class this year. but who made steady progress. Whaley, a junior. Woehr, q sophomore, and Dwyer and Me. Gregor, freshmen, will be other guard candida tpS
