He tried to raise himself, but was able only to raise his head a few cree had finished his count.
 The finish was rather unexpected al-- though Cross had been in the lead practically all the time since the bout up continually But the Californian, had shown much stronger in the sec ond round than he had in the opener and he got over several hard jabs to Cross head, which jarred the East Sider.
 He had stalled off Cross early at- tack in the third round and just when he gave promise of lasting for several There was no duke about the punch. It landed flush on the point of Hogan's jaw and it was two minutes afterward before Hogan had recovered fully from the punch. Cross lifted him from the floor as soon as the count was finished and Cross seconds helped to bring Hogan back to his senses.

COACHES WORRY
 ABOUT WENDELL
HARVARD CAPTAIN DOES NOT SHOW OLD TIME
 STRENGTH.

| Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 15-Rain fell on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon around the Stadium in fItfuI gusts. but the Harvard coaches were reIent- less, and the entire football squad was out on the soggy field spIashing around for two hours
 The defensive tactics of the Har- ward team were the particular point of interest for the coaches. They had the men repeat their plays time and again to attain perfection in the shifts and movements for the Dartmouth plays.
 The first string men on the varsity team did not stay. in long at any one time and Wendell and O,Brien worked only few minutes before giving way to BradIee and Dana.
 Neither of the two Crimson stars is in the best Of condition and the i'm disposition of Captain Wendell is does not seem to have the stamina which formerly characterized his work, and his ankle Is stiH badly swollen.
 From now until the Dartnaos1ta, game Wendell will have little work, and if he gets through that contest without serious injury to his weak ankle the chances are he will have the whole of next week off, resting for the Yale game
 The varsity lineup was as follows: left guard, Pennock; center. Parmen- ter; right guard Trum bull; right tackle, Hitchcock; right end, O'Brien: quarterback, Gardner; left haIfback, Hardwfck: right halfba.ck, Brickley; fl Iback. Wendell and Bradlee.
 Partly because of the wet ball and the slippery footing, the backs did the worst fumbling in the practice that they have done since the week prior to the Brown game. Time and again the pigskin was dropped on plays through the line, and on almost every occasion the second team line men got through and nailed the ball

his dismissal from the Cubs
 c. W. Murphy's breezy chatter seems to have scared National League club owners off the Perless Leader. When the ssVerbose One'' asked waivers only two clubs, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, claimed the man who made the Cubs famous. Murphy had circulated the report that Chances head was never quite as sound after he underwent an operation for the removal of blood c1ot.
 It is learned that Hermann and Dreyfuss claimed Chance in order to thwart Murphy's purpose of sending the former Chicago idol back to the minors. Neither, it is said, intends to keep him as player or manager. If this is true some way should be found to get Chance out of the National League. Frank Farrell is a very close friend of both Hermann and Drey- fuss.
