YALE BRACES UP.

New Haven, Oct. 25.--Frank But terworth, the great fullback of the class of 1895, took charge of the Yale football eleven yesterday afternoon and produced surprising results. Billy Knox stood passively by while Butter worth drove the first team with an enthusiasm which worked wonders Under his criticism each man sprane into the defence or backed up an at- tack with more life than the team has shown in many day. Bomar Wylie and Coy, with Dimes at quarter back, filled the varsity backfield in the opening few moments of scrimmage Murphy. Burke and Berger then went in and Tad Jones replaced Dimes. In the first ten minutes of play the strong second team kept the oval pretty well up in the varsity terri. tory. Coy finally punted sixty yards and Wylie was sent through the line for a touchdown. Congdon. scrub center played such pretty game that he was substituted for Cooney on the varsity by order of Butterworth and with the consent of the other coaches. Murphy made excellent pro- gress bucking the line and carried the ball from the center of the field tC the scrub f yard line where it was given to Berger and he was pushed over for the second touchdown.

TIGERS WERE CHEERED.

Princeton, Oct 20--bet0Te a crowd of 1000 cheering undergradu- ates the Tigers had their last prac- tice yesterday afternoon prior to the Cornell game at Ithaca on Saturday. The yolleys of cheers seemed to spur the players on. for although no scrimmage was induIged in the work was rapid and spicy. Eddie Dillon drove the eleven through all the reg ular formations. and there was a cer- tain accuracy and dash that was pleasing to the eve Captain McC0r- mick.

WRESTLING.
Jim Enters Into Another Match and Draws.

Pittsfield, Oct 25.-Charles Ack- erman of Rochester, x. Y, who was booked to wrestle Oscar Samson in the Academy of Music last night, mo- tified Samson at the eleventh hour that he could not keep the engage ment without offering any excuse. Jim Barnes of Springfield, despite his hard match with Leo Caprimi, agreed to help Samson out. They wrestled for an hour by agreement, as Barnes was not in condition for a longer mat :h. Honors were even at the expiration of the 60 minutes, each man having obtained a fall.
 The first fall was won by Barnes after 2s minutes and 36 seconds by a quick shift from a leg hold to a neck and body grip. The second hold went to Samson after 26 min utes and 50 seconds with a hammer lock and body hold. When the hour expired Barnes was pressing Samson hard. During the first bout Samson injured one of his ribs and after the match consulted q physi- elan. During the second bout Barnes remembered that he had left his watch and money in his clothing in an open dressing room. and Samson allowed him to get them.

TO DETERMINE THE WINNER.
Expert Named to Measure Exact Dis
 tance Covered by Each Balloon.

Washington. Oct 25.-The Aero club of America, under whose aus pices the recent balloon race was held. has requested Captain Charles DeF. Chandler of the United States signal corps. who was an aide to J. C. Mccoy the New York aeronaut. in the balloon America. to name an expert to measure the exact distance covered by each balloon in order to determine the winner. CaDtzin Chandler yesterday designated Will liam Welch. chief draughtsman in the office of the chief signal officer of the army. 1TT WeIch will begin i'm mediately the work of measuring the distances covered by the balloons.

THE DIAMOND
FERRIS MAY
 GO TO MINORS
Frank Laporte Likely to Take His Place on the Boston American
 Team-0ther News.

If Frank Laporte, the player se- cured from the New York Americans by the Boston Americans, plays any position except second base, it will be a surprise. That is his home position, and although he has been tried in the outtield and at third base, he has not been such a suc- cess as on second It was his fine work in the latter position that drew attention to him and led to his en- gagement by the Boston Americans. If Laporte is assigned to play second the question arises as to what will become of Ferris, and as that player is said to have been offered to five other American league clubs, with no takers, it may be seen that he is not in decided demand, and it would not be at all surprising if he were enumerated among the minors next season, says the Boston Herald.

FIGHT AT PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Oct. 25.-The in ability of Patsy Reardon to meet Dimp O'Donnel in the main bout at the Wayne A. c. last night gave Kid Haney chance. Reardon had a broken arm and Haney was put on in his place.
 Although O'Donnel had the advan- tage of at least 20 pounds on Han- ey, the latter kept him busy all the time. Haney got better as the game progressed. and in he last round had ODonnel tired through a succession of right hand swings on Dimp's jaw The bout ended with honors fairly even.
 Joe Herman had the advantage of Young Kelly in the semi-windup Young McCabe quit in the first round of his bout with Young Housek. Young Weston was knocked out in the third round by Young Feelin. Young Fletcher and Young Ike Weir went six fast rounds, with the latter having slightly the better of the argu- ment.
 Fred Kelly proved too much for Shine Brown.

Johnny Mack is the busiest man. ager of pugilists just now. His stable" includes three, and they are all booked for battles within a week Young Donohue and Fred Landers fight tonight at the Industrial A.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Packey McFar- land returned yesterday to Chicago little the worse for his fierce ten round battle with Abe Goodman at Fort Wayne Wednesday night, in which Packey was declared the victor. It is stated he will now try to get an engagement with Kid Herman.
 In the fight Goodman was the ag- gressor in the opening round. but saw he could not make headway against McFarland's heavy blows and was quickly forced to the defensive. Packey had all the better of it throughout the ten rounds.

SUBSTITUTE FOR SUTTON.

'Rube" Waddell, the famous Athlet- ic pitcher is looking for means of livelihood this winter. He now asserts tht he is goal tender of experience and he wants to fill the position on the Sharon, Pa, Interstate league polo team. Manager Jones is think ing seriously of signing him to sub stitute for Sutton, for it is figured that he would be a great drawing card "Rube" made his request by letter from Philadelphia.
 The manager believes that, if he signs "Rube." he would be depended upon to play nearly every game, for there is no fishing in the winter, so that the ''Rube'' would have to cut out the side stunts. All is in readiness for the opening of the roller polo sea- son on Monday.

HARVARD Is IMPROVING.

Cambridge, Oct 25.-A marked improvement in the power of the at tack characterized the practice of the Harvard football team yesterday afternoon. For the first time this season the backs seemed to hit the line as one man. They kept their feet we'll and helped each other along for yards of gain after they had been tackled. The work of the ends was also a little more encnurag ging. although at present the Harvard ends are far from satisfactory. The elementary practice consisted for the most part of teaching the line men to pick up the ball while at run instead of falling on it as in the past. After this practice long scrimmage between the first and second elevens was held. which was won by the first by a score of IS to ,.

Claim of George Considine Dismis. sed-Macks String of Fight
 CTS Kept Busy.

Philadelphia, Oct. 25.-The courts here have dismissed the complaint of George Considine of New York against the Washington Sporting club on a claim of several thousand dol lars against Bob Fitzsimmons.
 Fitzsimmcns, it is declared, has never received the $500 which he should have been paid for his bout with Johnson, but this action knocks out any argument that the promoters of the club, which is now defunct, had against paying the former champion
 The principal promoter of the Washington Sporting club is a real estate man, and Fitzsimmons' chances of collecting are believed to be ex- cellent if he pushes his claim for a settlement.

THE GRIDIRON
CROSBY GOING
 TO BRIDGEPORT
Local Boys Expect to Pull Off a
 Victory To-Morrow -- Other ' Football News.

The Crosby High football team will go to Bridgeport tomorrow to try conclusions with the high school eleven of that city. It is three years since Waterbury has played Bridge port, the last game resulting in a tie, neither team making score. Wa terbury's play so impressed Bridge port that the cry went up and was sent out by some newspapers that Waterbury had ringers, while every man on the team was student Ill good standing Waterbury has an excellent chance of winning to-mor- rows game. The only way to get q comparison is to dope out the follow ing: New Haven has twice defeated Bridgeport High this season, F to O and 13 to 0. New Haven High has de- feated Wesleyan freshmen F to D Meriden High defeated Wesleyan freshmen Wednesday by the score of 15 to 5. AS Waterbury has played a tie game with Meriden, which con- test should have been won by Water bury, it looks as though the Crosby boys are as good as Bridgeport The best Bridgeport could do in a recent game with Ansonia was to make it a tie. Consequently Waterbury should be able to get away with to-morroW's s contest.
 Fred Crolius, the Villanova coach and former Dartmouth player, has the following to say in the Springfield Republican regarding Roper's deni- zens of the Jersey jungle: But when it comes to an exposition of the new game, played by a team, thoroughly confident of their ability, handled by a real artist, Princeton surely is that team this year. Princeton does not impress one as the most powerful team in the world, but their results are a revelation. Bothering little with old fashioned football, Roper has developed an assortment of kicks and passes which as sequence are hard to diagnose. Simple plays in themselves, when run off with Dil- Ions percision and the speed of a rapid fire gun they fairly sweep a team off it's feet. They realize that possession of the ball counts for less than formerly and so take chances and lots of them. They follow the ball like Poes-which in itself is 25 per cent of any successful teams strength under the new rules. The team that beats Princeton this year will have to he o whirlWind and will deserve the name of champion"
