II SHADED
BY CHAMBER AT
TROXLER SHOW
Kimball, Diamond, Allie Burns
GradweII and Kid Burns
Among the Winners.

Irish Mahon, of this city, was
mighty lucky to escape a bad beating
at the hands of Willie Chanler, the 16-
year-old crack. of the New York Boys
Club. The New Yorker got the decision
by a shade.
1t was evident in the first two rounds
that Chanler doped out the speed of
the local pride and beat him, but
Irish" held him. safe in the third.
Mahon had to step lively all the way,
however, in order to escape the New
Workers. rushes and lightning-like
shifts. Chanler showed hat he could
outlook Mahlon. The latter made a des-
perate effort in the session. Though
his work shaded Chanler's 1t was not
sufficient to overcome the Manhattan
ties lead.
There were some lively doings in the
Paddy Kimball- Battling Jimmy strug-
gle. which included some sensational
work on the part of both performers at
times. Kimball was easily the victor.
however. The "Battler' had a right
swing but it proved to be ineffective.
Jimmy saw the mat three times in the
very HISi Iohilu, 1duuA uSlIB u leIl
swing successfully. However. the Bat
Ting lad could stand all the punish
ment he received and looked rather
fresh at the end.
Again the rugged Young Diamond
took the measure of Young Stanzo.
Diamond proved the master in all de-
partments, beating his opponent all the
way.
Allie Burns, of this city, won from
Young Peterson, of the New York Boys
Club. who was substituted for Meyer
Price, of the same club. AIS clever
work In the defensive and mis- ability
to hit at the right time earned him
the decision.
Young Gradwell beat Bob Lindsay, of
Ireland. in a lively bout. the former
being recorded the victor when he sent
Lindsay to the mat at the bell in the
last round. Kid Burns, of this city, de-
feated Young Houck. of Bayonne, while
Young Raymond, who was substituted
for Jim Smith against Billy Dobbs, of
Paterson. disposed of his opponent In
the third round.

COACH FIELD FINDS FAULT.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Nov A.
There has been no rest for the Yale
squad despite the strenuous game
against Brown Saturday. The varsity
had a scrimmage With the scrubs yes
terday, and the third team went over
on the freshman field and played the
freshmen to a no-score tie. The fourth
and fifth teams had signal work, even
while the varsity was scrimmaging.
The only let up was in the length
of the scrimmage. That lasted ten min
utes. Its purpose, according to the
coaches, was not to score, but to work
out a play, and as soon as the play had
been demonstrated the teams went
back to a signal drill. The thermom-
eter registered under 80 degrees at
Yale field, and the players would just
as soon have scrimmaged a little
longer.
The play demonstrated Vas II OF
Shevlin's, though he wasn't at the
field himself. 1t had been demon
strated before in a blackboard talk.

to signal drill. The work as usual was
secret. To enliven things a fast TWEEN
ty-minute scrimmage polished off the
