 Other News.

Packey Mcfarland, the Chicago lightweight who so decisively defeat cd Leach Cross, the Pride of the East Side. at the Fairmount A. c. We'd nesday night, was matched to meet Tommy Murphy at the opening show of the Polo Athletic club at Sulzer's Casino. The battle will take place within three weeks.

 Johnny Oliver. manager for Mur- phy; Harry Gilmore and his protege. Mcfarland, and Jim Buckley, man. ager of the New Polo A. G., met at the Hotel Marlborough Wednesday and lost no time coming to an agree ment. The articles calling for 133 pounds at 3 o'clock were signed.
 Mcfarland will go to Stratford in a few days to take up his training again. Murphy will probably do his work at Newburg. N. Y., where he has trained for many of his fights.

piraov's Romance.

Piracy is as old as history, but we think of 1t more particularly-as woven inextricably into the romantic youth of the new world. The word itself suggests first of all to Americans at least such names as Captain Kidd, Bartholomew Roberts, Captain Ed ward England, Captain George Low ther and that terrifying and flashing buccaneer Sir Henry Morgan, and the chief exploits of these men were ac- complished at the expense of the coast of North America and the much har- ried shores of the Caribbean. The his- tory of piracy is full of drama, stir ring action and daring deeds, and1t is on this account rather than because of it's darker side of fire, murder, killing and inhuman cruelty that children even today, years after the last of the genuine pirates has been swept from the seas, are constantly playing in imi- tation of piratical exploits and that men and women still find a unique fascination in reading of the followers of the black fiag.-Jackson Cross in Metropolitan Magazine.

 : Cincinnati, Oct. 2s.-Clark Grif. filth. the former manager of the New York Highlanders, Is practically cer- tain of the 1909 managership of the Cincinnati Reds, according to one of the stockholders of the Cincinnati Baseball club, who made the state- ment in, private after Garry Herr man had announced that Captain Ganzel is out of the running.
 Ganzel cooked his own goose when he played Hoblitzel at first. Hoblit- gel made good and now Ganzel is no longer needed on the team. ia
 Herman does not deny that Grif- filth has been selected to lead the Reds next season: All he will say Is that 1t is too early to make . definite statement on the subject. Griffith was first recommended to Herman by Ban Johnson of the American league, and since then others have joined in boosting the New Yorker. Noodles Hahn, the great southpaw who worked. for Griffith in 1906, is one of his most enthusiastic supporters.
 .Griffith wants to, manage the Reds He Is not backward in saying so. He has secured good line on the abili- ty of the Cincinnati players, as he saw them perform in at least score of games during the latter part oi last season.
 Hoblitxel will be the regular first baseman of the Reds next year. II was not known just what will be done with Gap" Ganzel, but he m;
 be traded to either the Pittsburg or Boston club. Both have already made application for him, 1t Is said

KEYEs's NEXT OPPONENT.

Jack Goodman, conceded to be one of the cleverest boxers in New York, will tackle Bert Reyes in a six-round bout next Tuesday evening at the Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue, the home of the Olympic A. c. It is more than three years since this pair met, and then they were but novices and neither did the other enough damage to seriously impair reputation. Both boys have met the best in their class since that time, and seldom has either had the worst of the engage ments.
 In Goodman the members of the club will see as shifty and clever a boxer as is Joe Cans. 'The West Side will go broke if he does not succeed in beating the East Side on points. The latter are relying on their boy to carry off the victory with knock out, a thing the boy from the Avonia club has not yet sampled.

IN SECRET PRACTICE.
Holy Cross Hopeful. Even With
 , Patched.up Team.

Worctestsr, Oct. X2S-Holy Cross had Fits last hard practice of tho week yesterday afternoon benind closed gates, Not even students were allowed on the field during tbe early part of the practice. John Boston high schools, and Cleo O'Don- nell, last years captain,e were on hand to, assist Coach .Larkin.. O'Reil- lysis an old Holy Cross football and baseball player Wednesday evening he addressed the team on the i'm portance of charging and speed, and yesterday afternoon took the entire line, from tackle to tackle, to corn CT of the field and for 20 minutes gave them some valuable points. He took each man individually and showed him the value of quick charge. O'Donnell assisted Coach Larkin with the backs and ends.
 The raggedness which has been so apparent in the teams play all week disappeared to great extent yester- day. The team ran through it's first real good signal practice of the week. and in the short scrimmage ran of its plays smoothly. One reason for the raggedness has been the changed lineup. Four regulars, s. Mahonsy, D. Mahoney. Tobin and Jones. have been out of the game all week with Charley horses or wrenched ankles. and their absence has necessitated several changes. Scheidd has been shifted from fullback to 8. Mahoney's half, while Burke is playing the other half in place of Jones. Joy Is now playing full, with Lawlor at Joys end. Freitch is shifted from guard to Tobin's tackle, Roche has been taken of the scrubs and givsn the place left vacant by Freitch, while Whalen irsunning the team.
 The substitutes have eaten un nearly all of Larkin's good second strong material, and Holy Crosss chances of giving the Green hard tussle will be seriously diminished unless some of the cripples get in shape to play. New stands are being built to accommodate the crowd ex- pected. A section of 100 seats has been reserved for the Dartmouth contingent.

 : Caricature is nowadays one of the principal methods of criticism. No movement can oyerreach the mark without eliciting dozens of works of art from caricaturists all over this and Ill other countries.
 This branch of criticism and attack dates far back, but the greatest i'm pulse 1t ever felt came from the age of tremendous speculation, when, in 1719 and 1730. John Law was manipu- lating things financial in France. New CT before had the financial world been 10 carried off its feet as 1t was at that time.

 Ills, three heats-2:10h 2:10A and 2:09--was. officially announced as the fastest three-heat race over a two-lap course. In the third and final heat of the free for all trot Wilkes Heart made break almost at the start and was not in the race. When the field turned into the stretch spectators were surprised to see Farley whip his mount, and everybody took 1t for granted that Locust Jack was all in, but the lat ter result proved that he was after the worlds record, as the great trot- ter sailed along in fine style and showed no distress.
 He passed under the wire at top speed, and many who held watches could hardly believe that they were right until the time was announced officially, when the crowd went wild over the incident.

 to grief. Said the King, "'Twill be too bad If that Yankee-Irish lad Trots away with all the spoil of

 he spieled. There were nifty men from France, Shifty Turks who took a chance; There were rivals decked with
 medals from the Rhine, And Italians, too, and Swedes, And no end of other breeds Of the Irish boy they swore to take
