(By Wagner.)


 A large number of local fight fans went to New Haven last night to see Knockout Brown and Bert Reyes go 15 rounds. The general opinion was that the bout was a hummer.
 Notable among the Bridgeporters who were conspicuous at the ring side, were Prof. James M. Atlas, Charlie Hutchinson, H. Eugene Nc Cam, Fritz Hartmann,J lack Shea, Dr. Southey, the Hamilton Brothers, Ed and Hugh; the two Kellys. Gene and Mike; Senator Archibald McNeil, Jr. Eddie sChamonski, Daniel Clifford. Harry Quinn, who sells cigars; Fritz Musante, Jack Mack, Billy Packtor, and half a hundred others
 The New Haven -JOurnal-Cour1er says of the bout:
 Knockout Brown has explored the 15-round route and has reached the end victor Fifteen frames of the most furious and savage fighting probably ever. seen here saw Brown last night at the Casino whip Bert Reyes before 5000 fans. The thick set little TeutOn hammered his way to victory all the way from the first tap of the gong which started the star bout. until the changing bell closed the bout after it had gone the limit. Of the two men who fought, Brown was the most badly battered about the face. His right eye was closed and his right cheek bone was

curiou. Way of Catching Fish.

Indians of Bolivia have a peculiar method of going fishing. A writer in the Geographical Journal says: They use the milk of the 'manuna' or 'sOli- man tree, the scientific name of which is, I think, Hura crepitans, of the euphorbia genus, for catching fish. l went with some of the Indians to a lagoon in the forest. Here, floating on the surface of the water, perfectly alive and yet absolutely unable to get away, were fish of all kinds, big and small, from which they selected the most palatable for food. The milk IS merely poured into the water, and as 1t spreads every fish which comes 1u contact with it becomes paralyzed and vet is not affected as food. Moreover, the effect appears to last for several days without killing the fish. The milk is also used as cure for toothache, as a caustic and for the purpose of sui eide, for which a teaspoonful is em- ployed. As poison they say the re suits are painful"

BEN EGAN IS GREAT
 CATCHER SAYS PAYNE

Freddie Payne, the former Tiger and White Sox player, now under contract with the Baltimore club of the East ern League, is authority for the state nent that Connie Mack has picked up a remarkable catcher in the person of Egan, with Baltimore last season
 This fellow Egan is one of the best receivers and throwers 1 ever have seen,'' said Freddie. He has a won derful arm, and can shoot them down to second as fast as anybody in the world. As for his hitting, l can't say so much. I doubt that he will hit very much in the American lea gue. but on a club like the Athletics he won't have to-
 Paynes observations merely bear out what Connie himself has said regard ing Egan's ability. The lean leader of the two-ply world champions isn't much given to tipping off his 'phe- nomss' in advance, but he is so en- shusiastic over the youngster, on whom he has had string for some time, that he cannot resist talking about him
 It would not be surprising to see Ira Thomas start to slip before very long, and it is just Mack's luck to have a star ready to step into the big fellows shoes when he slides back tn the minors. So far as anybody knows, Mack has nobody who can go into the outfield and play the sort of game that the three men at present out there are playing, but when the time comes 1t is a cinch that Corne- Illus will spring some unknown" who will fill the bill in an acceptable man. ner
 That's the beautiful part of the Mack system. As fast as his stars fade away he is able to produce somebody either just as good or better. There are a score of players throughout the country enlisted under the Mack ban ner, and on this store the foxy man ager can draw for recruits of proved ability

 Now, if the Edgewoods think that by putting this 25 ID to a man, and their continuous gains by their great Western shift and other hot air in the paper they can lead the public to be- lieve, they are greatly mistaken.
 The South Ends would like to meet the Edgewoods next Sunday, for love or money, and let the public know the true state of affairs.

SOUTH ENDS DENY THEY
 OUTWEIGHED EDGEWOODS

The South Ends would like to deny that they were 25 lbs to a man heav- fer than the Edgewoods, as stated in the columns of the Farmer last even ing. We would like to know where any of the following men are 25 lbs heavier than their opponents: Grif- fin vs. Butsho, Payne vs. Katz, Grif- fin vs. Lindquist, McElroy vs. Rist, Gunch vs. Moore, Moran vs. Flynn, Carter vs. Keating, Dunn vs. Gregory, ODay vs. Lotzko. If the truth was known the majority of the Edgewood players were heavier.
 As for the Edgewoods making con- tinuous gains by their great Western shift, it is well known fact that the Edgewoods gained their first downs but once during the entire contest, never getting within striking distance of the South End goal. They were

Harvard Rooters
 Sore At Haughton
Blame Coach For Crimson's $ Failure to Score on Yale
 Last Saturday

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 2S-Post-mor- tems galore have been served up among the Harvard undergraduates since Saturdays contest with Yale, and since Harvard entered the con test on the small end of the betting the students believe that they did not get all that was coming to them.
 Of course, as in the case of all such gridiron games, some blame the coaches, some blame the players and some blame the luck for the fact that the Crimson was not returned victor ious. There were several moves on the part of Coach Haughton that could not be understoodA by the members of the cheering sectidn which so sturdily backed up the players in their final game. The students can't see why Gardner should have been kept in the game when he made such 8 mess of his plays and continuously misjudged punts, while such men as Potter, Freedley and even Bradley remained on the side lines. o-, .s
 There was much surprise that Black all and >OsBrien did not get in, espe- cially when the latter has shown the calibre; of end that he has during the past few games. When it looked as though Smith was going to be laid ter to warm up, but nothing was said as to allowing the fastest end on the squad to get in.
 Just why Buckingham should be sent into kick goal from the field when the opportunity offered itself is a question, when that player has been laid up all the season, has been in but a couple of games and has never shown signs of being even fair goal kicker. This. too. when Milholland. who is the best drop kicker in the squad, remained on the side lines. Even Hollister has shown himself a better kicker than Frothingham. AS it was Buckingham made mess of the play booting the ball barely over opportunity was lost.
 Lothrop Wilmington, Jr., tackle coach at Harvard, in a newspaper ar ticle yesterday severely criticised the Yale forwards for what he termed un- necessary roughness and ungentleman- ly conduct during Saturdays game. Dispatches from New Haven vehe- mently deny. these charges.
 Six men received their numerals as a result of Saturdays game. They were H. R. Hitchcock, Jr., of Pukee, Hawaii; F. D. Huntington of Lexing- ton, F. H. Leslie of Milton, D. c. Parmenter of Gloucester. K Reynolds of Montclair, N. J., and R. T. P. storer of Waltham
 The Crimson will elect it's captain in a week or two. Percy L. Wendell of Roxbury, the star halfback, is the logical man for the position, although Harry Gardner of New York, a quar. terback, and s. M. Felton. Jr., an end of Haverford, Pa, are also mentioned lieved now. that the season is ended will be placed upon probation. Two of the star men of the backfield are said to ge in like predicament.

Walter Camp Says Changes Needed In
 The Football Rules
Yale Expert Declares He Will Recommend Regulations to
 Make Scoring Easier

New Haven. Conn. Nov. 2S.-Wal- ter Camp. Yale's chief athletic ao- wiser and father of football" at Yale. said last night that there would un- tioubtedly be changes in the rules Of football for the coming year, and that the changes would make it easier for the opposing teams to score. The present rules have been given a thorough test for four years now and neither Yale nor Harvard has made touchdown against each other. What the changes would De MT. Camp said that he could not give at this time, but that he was study ing the matter
 s.It is a very complicated affair, said MT. Camp, '.but there will be doubtless changes in the rules. A shall certainly, recommend cnanges and think that next year it twill be easier to make touchdowns. The rules as they are today certainly make it very difficult to score in this way. .4 there be fifth period in which a score could be made, should there be a tic at the end of the fourth, am not prepared to go into full discus sion. but I think it very unlikely that such change VIII pass tne ruies committee, whether or not It would be good thing.
 .sThe total time of play has been shortened from the old rules. Under those rules seventy minutes were ai- lowed for game and now a full game takes but sixty minutes. The fact that the time of the game has already been shortened, it seems to me, will initiate against having longer periods, or lengthening the game by the addition of fifth period.
 ''I am going over the whole sltua- tiop now. The situation is compli- cated and there are many things to be considered, so I am not prepared to give notice of definite changes have in mind at present.
 The move for changes In the rules will have the support of Yale, there is no doubt, for Yale has always pre- ferred rushing to kicking goals from the field. --

LEACH CROSS CLEANS
 UP BATTLING HURLEY

Leach Cross battered Battling Hur- ley around the ring of the Olympic A. C. last night for eight rounds. Then Referee Dan Tone stopped the bout in order to save Hurley from being Knocked out. Cross was the master all the way. Hurley showed his us- ual gameness, but he never had a chance He landed a few hard body blows. but they did little damage and the wild swings he shot at Cross's jaw and face were cleverly evaded by the east side dentist.
 The bout had scarcely begun when the blood was seen oozing from Hur- ley's nose. A right hand swing cut it open and several right and left jabs opened the cut wider. In the second session Leachie landed two hard right swings to Hurley's face and then shot a well directed left to Hurley's jaw. The blow had much force in it and sent Hurley reeling to the floor.

 For the benefit of the real sporting public and few of the several public officials who are ever ready to ille- gally serve any carpet bagger who might come along. The officers of the Yannigan A. C. Inc. for the ensuing year are to wit: Wm. Dunn, presi- dent; J. Mack, treasurer; D. McPad- den, secretary.
 The organization was incorporated with the above president, May 2, 1902, has featured star bouts and is the only organization in Bridgeport that was publicly commended for their ability along these lines by a Demo- cratic Mayor who served 4 years and a police commissioner of an opposite rolitical faith. This article has been sent to every newspaper in this city, should it fail to appear in any it can readily be seen that, with that pub 1ication the power of the free pass Is mighty.

 The Pequot Jrs. contradict the statement which was printed in one of the evening papers. The Pequots acknowledge that Dunn scored but think it unjust to say that Goodwin and w. McGraw did not score fairly. The Pequots say they didn't make a tumble in the fourth period when the The referee cried play and the Pequots lined up and went down the field for touchdown. If the Orioles were not ready why did Larkin and four others try to tackle the runner :? Why did eight of them line up? The Pequots would like a-statement from the referee regarding the game. They are ready to challenge the Orioles for a game at Seaside park, Saturday afternoon for $10. This shows they are not crabs. This is the only open date the Pequots have so they accept no excuse from the boys across the water. They will place the money in the hands of any prominent man. Both teams must play with the same lineup used last Sunday. The referee last Sunday was not a 1Pequot but plays with team in the North End. The Pequots will practice tonight at Oak street.
 The Oaklands and Arrows will clash Thursday morning for the 1O5 pound championship of the city. Charlie Mahoney will referee in place of Harry Quinn, who said he would rather sit in the grandstand and smoke a Nugget.
 The Superbas will clash with the Lakeview, Jrs., on Thanksgiving day. All members of the. Superba eleven are asked to report tonight for prac- tice.
