Dede's eyes flashed in the way long

angry.

that was what you had in mind"

for the mares sake. but for my sake.

For months Daylight was buried in
work. The outlay was terrific, and
there was nothing coming in. Beyond
a general rise in land values, Oakland
had not acknowledged his Eruption
on the financial scene. The city was
waiting for him to show what he was
going to do. and he lost no time about
it. The best skilled brains on the
market were hired by him for the diff
ferent branches of the work. Initial
mistakes he had no patience with. and
he was determined to start right. as
when he engaged Wilkinson, almost
doubling his big salary. and brought
him out from Chicago to take charge
of the street railway organization.
Night and day the road gangs toiled
on the streets. And night and day

But the week had not passed, when

eye that BODIED trouble.

(By wagner.)

Jimmy Noonan got ride about 4;3o yesterday afternoon that was better than a jaunt in a taxi or a. purple upholstered limousine. He was car ried around Yost field on the shoulders of his frenzied admirers and fair maids rushed forward to plant kisses upon his fevered brow. For Jimmy had just rescued the Yost football eleven from the depths of defeat and had in the very last minute of play won for his team the championship of the state.
 The oldest inhabftant can't remember such a finish as the local bows flashed when they downed the Washington Glee club of New Haven by to G.. Just see how the stage was set The Glees by straight rushing had made a touchdown in the beginning. of the fourth period and Tailed to kick the goal. Then with the score 6 to 0 desperate. They held the Glees, who were forced to punt.
 The Yosts, too. round difficulty in sary to kick Eddie Reilly booted one over the goal line. The Elm City boys put the ball in play on the 20 yard line and then right there came two tries against the Yost defense by Kcarns, Eddie Lavery was sent against the left side (. of ', the local line; o,,jaS He and Rosenpenny fell on the oval for
 Here was the ball on the Glees' 30 play. Moshier was turned loose out side the tackle and the old boy ripped off 20 yard run which set the crowd wild. Reilly and Moshier made ward pass, Reilly tos Moshier, the lat ter was spilled for a loss
 Here was the ball on the ten yard line, about a minute to play and the last down. If the Ycsts didn't make a touchdown on this play the game was lost and also the championship. ward pass with Noonan at the re- ceiving end. Jimmy ran from his position at end to point in front of center. Lachance took the ball from Reilly and made a perfect hurl to Noonan, who was standing about three yards from the goal line. Jimmy leather and ran between the goal posts while the Yost roorers execu&d d cartwheels to show their delight. From the depths of depression they went to the pinnacle of joy and rushed upon the field to embrace the smiling Noon an. The pass which decided the game was a fine play, splendidly executed Lachance deserves just as much cred it as Noonan for the big fuI1back had to make an accurate toss in order to bring home the victory. Everyth1ng ed the goal which gave the Yosts a victory by one point
 In reviewing the contest it must not be said that the Yoste were not at the top of their game. They played fer below their usual form and were outplayed by the Glese until the last period It was not until the Glees made their touchdown that the Yosts struck their stride. With defeat star ing them in the face they showed their Rameness by battling herce1y and
 making the enemy give ground.
 The GIees were better drilled than the locals Their Minnesota shift went off in snappy fashion and seldom fail ed to gain. On defense they did not cover so much ground as the Yosts

FRANK FLEMMlNG
 HAS FINE RECORD
Young McAuIiffe Will Have to Watch Out For Hard
 Hitting Canadian

It is anticipated that a great gath ering of local fight fans will journey to South Norwalk tomorrow evening to see the Young McAuliffe- Frankie Fleming fight, which will be sta ged at the Auditorium, under the ausices of the Twin City Athletic club of South Norwalk. The boys will fight 10 rounds in the star go of the evening. The fighters finished training today, and reports from both camps indicate that they are both in fine condition, and right down to the weight required.
 In Fleming, the local lad is meet ing a boy with real class, and one who has made an enviable record since to be a very clever boxer, and one who carries a K. o. wallop in either mitt He has participated in over 125 battles, and of his last 10 encounters, has scored knockoute. His most cent fights are: Johnny Dundee, 10 rounds, draw; Joe Shears, of England, 10 rane.-s, win; Tommy Houck. 10 rounc-. win; Tommy Buck. g rounds. K. O.; Benny Leonard of New York. Philadelphia, rounds. win; Harry Phillips, 3 rounds. K. O.; Biz Makay. of Cleveland, 2 rounds K O.: Bud White, rounds, K. O. Any fighter who can score knockouts at the ex- pense of the above mentioned boys certainly must possess some healthy punch, and as McAuliffe is also endow- ed with considerable ability in this line, a hair-raising go is expected
 The widespread interest that is ap- parent in all parts of this city regard ing this fight, points to an unusually large attendance from here. Choice ringside seats are on sale in this city.

SIX DAY RIDERS

Same Old Crowd Out to Cheer Cyclists in Madison
 Square Garden

Madison Square Garden, Dec. g. Sprinting through the yellowish haze of tobacco smoke the Is teams which started at one minute after midnight in the anual grind designated for ad- vertising purposes the ''six day bi cycle race'' were still Tapped on each other today, nd at the 7th hour were three miles and two laps ahead the record made by DeMara and Hill in 1903
 The big race has lost none of it's popularity. The same cheering crowds, made up for the most part of those who hoped spill would come which would result in some rider breaking a leg or his neck, and those who feared the spill would not ma terialize, hang over the railings and urge the riders on to top speed. They had plenty to cheer about. During the first few hours first one and then the other of the riders would try for the coveted lap. Sometimes they would get as much as a quarter of a lap ahead Of the pack but there they would stick and finally would have to fall back to the field

 ADVICE OF GRADS
YALE FOOTBALL CAPTAIN WILL LEAVE CHOICE OF COACH
 TO OLD HEADS.

New Haven. Dec. 9.-Capt. Henry Fl Ketcham, who has been selected to head the Yale varsity eleven for next year. will have several problems to face. the first and most important of which is that of selecting a coach for the coming season. He has been asked several times for his opinion on the coaching system at Yale, but he has steadfastly refused to make any statement except that he will confer with graduates before coming to any definite decision
 Ketcham says he is perfectly will ing to let the graduates decide on this matter and he will be governed accordingly Ketcham's prospects have been compared since his cleo ton to those which the late Gordon Brown faced when he became captain tn~the fall of 1899. He had the same team practically which had played under Chamberlain, Rodgers and Mo Bride and all of these teams had been failures Nevertheless from this ma 1erial Brown developed his team, which became one of the most fla nous in Yale football history.

 {" Fans who admired me as a pitch CT gave me the idea,'' Brown said <he other day, ''and already I have had enough encouragement to war rant my establishing such a school. There is a lot about pitching which should be able to teach younEsters The reason so many good pitchers step out of the game when they arc comparatively young is because they do not know how to take care of their arm. All they know is to pitch end they pitch until they have pitch ed themselves out at an age when they should be at their best.
