ager of Luther McCar-
ty, honored this burg with a
visit yesterday to confer with Pro
moter Billy Gibson about ten
round battle between Luther and
Bombardier Wells, the English
champion. The two Nillies met in
the Garden, but only conferred,
Mccartney made only few mod
est demands for McCarty's share Of
the purse. A clear title TO the
Garden, he said off hand. would
just about suit him and Luther.
Gibson, not having other than
fatherly interest in the editice, was
forced to refuse the request. Well,
they chatted three hours and TWEEN
ty-seven minutes and then sudden
ly remembered that it was dinner
time. So the talk fest was ad-
journed until some time today,
when negotiations will be resumed.
Outside of hearing Gibson eX-
postulating with Mccartney, a real
pleasant time was had watching a
little cinnamon bear named Teddy.
Teddy kept walking around as far
as his chain would let him. 1t was
real joyful to pat Teddy, espe-
cially when a stranger lowered
near, and to tell him (Teddy) what
a nice bear he was. This we did for
three hours and twenty seven min
utes, and must say twas rather a
brave task.
Joimes Maloney, who discovered
the BOmbardier in India and talked
the latter into blowing his red coat
and becoming a battler. was also
present. Join1es also petted the
bear. Joimes is anxious to let the
Bombardier meet McCarty, and
couldn't understand why Mccartney
was SO careless with the fleeing
hours.
Il sye, l cawn't understand is
dilatoriness,' Joimes murmured
eighty seven times; and then he
evaporated.
We distinctly refuse to print
what Billy Gibson said, and Glib
son has a reputation that must be
sustained. So there we will act
as the sustainee.
The most absorbing part of the
afternoon was when Mccartney told
about a big bettor who cleaned up
$500 on McCarty's victory over
Palzer. The day after the battle
the bettor called upon Mccartney
and inquired for McCarty. The lat

JOHNNY KILBANE MOST
 CAUTIOUS OF CHAMPIONS

According to the despatches the only thing that prevented Feather weight Champion Kilbane from taking the count in his bout at Cincinnati ster. was the titleholder's superior weight
 Evidently Kilbane knew what he was about when he forced Mars to concede him a handicap. As it turn ed out he needed all his superior weight and strength to ward off his aggressive opponent. But for the fact reducing he might now be champion in KiIbane's stead.
 It was Kilbane's hardest bout since winning the title from Abe. Attel1 and the first time he was knocked down for a count since he came in for the championship. Ever since the C1eve- lander first displayed his lack of real championship form in various bouts it has been a source of wonder that he has encountered so little resist arlce. It was evident in those bouts that determined man who refused to be awed by the fact that he was meeting a champion would give Kill bane plenty of trouble Apparently the inexperienced Mars is one of those who have more nerve than the aver age.
 It is said that Kflbane. who came Tn at catchWe1ghtS, was ten pounds over the featherweight mark, which he forced Mars to make. He admits that he was well over the class limit and was probably close to 130.
 kilbane does not relish the adverse criticism of his course in forcing his opponents to make weight while he himself shuns the scales. His excuse Is that in meeting unknowns he all ways runs the risk of finding himself opposed to a lightweight instead of a feather unless he makes them all scale 122 pounds ringside. Just why he finds it necessary to stipulate ringside weighing he does not say. He could hardly expect his opponents to jump from 122 to 133 in a few hours time. A key to the mystery may be found in the fact that if Mars had been given a few hours to regain something of his normal strengt: h after the unnatural process of reduc- ing he might not have collapsed from weakness as he did.

DUCK SHOOTING SEASON
 COMMENCES IN MARYLAND

Today witnessed the inaugural of the duck shooting season in Maryland, the Winter resort most favored by the toothsome fowl, and during the next few months thousands of Sportsmen from all over America will travel to the ducking grounds. The beginning of the open season for ducks in Mary land finds all the varieties of the feathered tourists from Canada wait ing to be shot. Among them are the canvasbacks, famous among all the epicures of the world, and the scarce Iy less delicious coot or ruddy duck. Other varieties include the sprigtails, the wigeon Aor baldpates, the blue
 winged teal, the redheads, the black heads and the maIlard. That Mary land ducks are favored above the wild ducks of all other parts of the world is due to their diet of wild eel cry, which is found principally on the flats of the Chesapeake Bay country. After feeding on the wild celery for a few weeks the gastronomic qualities of the fowl are entirely changed, and their flesh,ss from being strong and fshy in taste attains a delicate flavor.
 Practically all of the Maryland ducks have their habitat in Canada, along the bays and gulfs of British America, where they mate and rear their young With the coming of Autumn they start South, the major ity stopping off in Maryland, but many going on down the coast to still warm CT climes, There they find awaiting them the sportsmen with their guns. sneakboats, sinkboxes, decoys and other paraphernalia of death and de- struction. The Susquehanna flats about midway between Philadelphia and Baltimore, are renowned as duck ing grounds among sportsmen the world oyer. In years past this sec ton has been visited by many of the most famous sportsmen of America and Europe. Those who are aninat- ed by love of sport shoot principally from the slnkbox, while the commer- cial duck hunters usually use the sneakboat. On a favorable day the sportsman, shooting from the shelter of a sinkbox, may make a bog of from one to two hundred birds. Going af- ter the ducks in motorboats used to be popular, but sportsmen have de- cided that this is not fair game, and it is now illegal.

MARIAN UNABLE TO
 FACE PRINCETON
HarVaPd's Best Kicker Has Operation on His Injured Foot.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 3.-It' is very likely that Eddie Mahan, the star Har- ward halfback and kicker, will be out Of the game with Princeton next Sat urday: The abscess caused by a epi- last night and the surgeon asserted that he did not believe that Mahan will be able to play before the Yale game.
 The team came out of the Cornell captions Trumbull, the centre, who got 8 bruise in his side, may also be forced to forego playing against Princeton. The injury may turn out more serious than is thought at pres ent. Hardwick was shaken up and will not be out for scrimmage for the next two days.
 Cowan, the left guard, may keep out of the scrin1maging for two Or three days, as he was hurt in one of the Cornell snashes in the second period, and the trainers feel that he ought to be given a vacation for a, few days. The other men are in the best of con- dition. It is hoped that Hitchcock and OBrien will rejoin the squad by Tues day.
 There was only easy work today, as Haugtton does not want to force the players too hard at this late stage of the campaign. There is no appre7len sion here with regard to the Prince ton game, notwithstanding the bigger score rolled up by the Tigers on Holy Cross than Harvard was able to pile up on the Worcester team.

PRINCETON HOPEFUL
 AFTER SATURDAY GAME

Princeton, N. J., Nov. s.-what a great difference a short week makes! Last Sunday there was gloom on the Princeton campus so thick it could be cut with knife, but yesterday the 'studes" rejoiced over the fine showing their reconstructed eleven made Sat urday against Holy CrNss.
 The makeup of the Tiger team will not be changed this week, with the ex- ception that Phillips, who has been out with injuries, will resume his du- ties at left tackle. The coaches feel that they have arrived at the right combination and will probably keep the lineup intact for the rest of the season. Click made good at quarter beyond expectations and Laws punt ing filled a bad gap.
 Princeton's deputation of scouts at the Harvard game with Cornell was a big one and the coaches returned to- day with a comprehensive collection of formations that the Crimson used in defeating the Ithacans. The scrubs will be drilled in the Harvard plays and the varsity vii lbe sent at them.

SAYS WESTERN TEAMS
 AS GOOD AS EASTERN
Andy Smith, Former Penn Star
 Declares There Isn't Much Difference.

Andy Smith, Perdue University coach, who had charge of the Penn sylvania. eleven last year, has been quoted as saying that he considers the western material as good as any in the east and that the team he has in charge this fall is as powerful as any that ever represented the Red and Blue and Better than any Cornell eleven he ever saw play the game It is true that the material in the west is as good as that in this part of the country, as rule but 1t is seldom that a western team has at tained the perfection of the big elev- ems in the eastern states. In the west there are many handicaps not en- countered here. In the first place the men that represent the big insti tutions there generally have not had the, preparatorya school training that the eastern men have had Football is a game wherein experience as well as thorough coaching counts for much, and, with few exceptions, the colleges toward the Mississippi and beyond lack both the coaching and the experience.
 While the institution may have one or two good men to instruct the play erss it is seldom that more are engag- ed during the season. Thus the finer details of the game cannot be gained, and the men, not having played to any great extent before entering col 1ege, have more to learn than is pos sibIe in the short time allotted.
 Another thing that has a tendency ito develop better elevens in the east lis the greater rivalry between teams and the greater public interest taken in the game. Both are bound to force the men into playing a, better grade of football. There. is no doubt that the Western material is as good as Eastern, but it is seldom that foot ball is played there with the thorough knowledge of the game displayed by the men of the eastern colleges.

SLUGGERS DON'T
 LAST VERY LONG
 IN RING HISTORY

Pittsburgh, Nov. 3-Fighters of the sIugging, boring-in type do not last long in the fighting game. Their contempt for the hitting power of their opponents causes these boys to suffer damage that saps their vitality and eventually leaves them unfit to train properly or to do themselves justice in the ring.
 They get so that they cannot think fact enough, and as a result they do not know what to do next when in action As a consequence these game fellows get badly battered, they carry tin ears, and Iopsided brains. Some of them talk in a rather 1op-sided manner, and otherwise show the eff fects of the abuse they have stood.
 Battling Nelson stuck it out longer than most of the ve-and-take feI- lows. He had a marvellous constitu- ton and took enough beatings to have killed many a stout boy. Wolgast did not last so long; Sammy Trott did not go far; Jack Redmond fell by the wayside from the effects of the lac ings he sustained. And there are sev- era1 of the old-timers who are spoken of as game ones, who have gone dip py, some in the asy1ums and others being taken care of by friends or rela- tives
 The pugilfst who lasts in the games and becomes successful is he who com D1neS good boxing W1In Ialr HSnl- ing-the combination boxer-fghter. The boy who knows how to avoid pun ishment and at the same time land upon the other fellow often enough to win the decision, is the boy who en- joys a lengthy career in the ring. If he acquires the knock of putting up a good lively battle in which he does his share of mixing as well as of skill full boxing at long range, he becomes a.. nOnlI1aT- faVOrito.
 While Ritchie is this sort of a per former, and when he gets to fighting more frequently he will become a popular champion, John l.. Sullivan was never disigured, for he could box as well as fight, although we fre- quently hear him referred to as the Boston slugger. This was because of his size, undoubtedly, for John was clever at the game of lead, stop and get away; he was an adept at counter ing, and he never failed to drop his man when he landed a clean counter.
 Every youngster in beginning 10 take boxing lessons should pay strict attention to the defensive end of the

UPTON EXPECTS
 TO CAPTURE CUP
Ir&sh Sportsman Has EnQaGed Two Clever Captains For Race.

With the lull in the yacht racing season, the British followers of the sport are watching closely the pro gress of the building of Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock ", which is be- ing constructed from the designs Of Charles Nicholson, who has been very successful in building the seventy-five foot sailing yachts. With an interval of many years since the last Americas Cup race, there will naturally follow many changes in the sailing masters and captains of the American and English yachts. W. P. Burton, who will steer the Shamrock ", is one Of the best known amateurs in English yachting circles. His chief success was with the famous Britomart in the hfty-two-feet linear racing class, with the fifteen-metre yacht Ostars. and the nineteen-metre Octavia. Although the owner of these vessels handled them himself, no small measure of their success was due to the personality of Albert Turner, who has been ap- pointed captain of Sir Thomas Lip toms cutter. Capt. Turner has been largely responsible for bringing MT. Burton's yachts to the line in the high state of efficiency which has characterized these vessels. He has always shown that power of command over his crew combined with the cool judgment and restraint which should be essential in the captain of a rac- ing yacht
 With these two leaders, the British baronet expects to life the Cup and much of his confidence Is shared by many British yachtsmen, who have considerable faith in Nicbolson's yacht constructive abilities.

NATE WHEELER LIKELY TO
 BE USED AT QUARTERBACK
Cornish's Broken Jaw Eliminates Him And Local Boy Will Get
 A Chance

While the Yale football coaches are wrestlisg with the serious problem of finding a suitable substitute quarter back to fill the shoes of Percy Cor nish, IT,, who had his jaw broken in the game with Colgate Saturday after noon that victim of the game of foot ball will be under the physician s care at the Yale infirmary and will probably be wrestling with the prob 1e moi being fed through a tube. Suf- fering from a broken jaw it will be impossible, it is said, for him to eat in any other way probably for three weeks to come and it will probably be about six weeks before he is able to be out again.
 Cornish received his injury while attempting to advance the ball in a scrimmage near the Colgate goal line. In falling, his jaw came into contact with the knee of another player and the force of the fall broke the jaw bone in the middle. It could not be told last night whether there was compound fracture or not but it is

E,S-sHARKEY BATTLE SET NEW RECORD
 FOR GATE RECEIPTS

When James J. Jeffries and Thomas J. Sharkey. fought their memorable championship battle at Coney Island fourteen years ago today, the en- thronged to the isle where every things always new but the ocean in such nufn bers as to set up new rec ord for gate receipts at hstic enter tainments. From financial view point this battle still heads the list of all the pugilistic arguments ever pull ed off in the effete East.
 The promote of the eff-Sharkey rookus took in s66,3O0. When Jeff defended his title against Corbett ten years ago, the gate amounted to $63,- $40, which Is the San Francisco high mark. Little old Reno made both Gotham and the Golden Gate City look like pikers with a s27O,775 gate for the Jeffries, bout, and Goldheld comes second with a $69,715 gate for the Gans-Nelson battle in 1906. The next biggest gate for a lightweight contest was that taken in at CoIma in 1904 for the Nelson-Britt scrap, when the San Francisco fans paid $43, ,311 to see the Dane lick the native son. The second Nelson-Britt bout in San Francisco, in 1905, at- tracted S27,77O The high-water was reached in 1900, when little Terry McGovern whipped Frank Erne, the lightweight champion, at Madison Square Garden. The bugs kicked in with thirty-two thousand hard men to lamp less than three full rounds of fighting Among the featherweight the record was set up in San Francis co ten years ago, when Young Cor bett defeated Terry McGovern before a S20,88O house. The Corbett- Mccoy battle in New York, the last pulled off under the old Horton lay, was also a money-maker, the gate receipts amounting to $56.359. When Corbett took the title from Sullivan in New Orleans in 1892, the gate was SAB, 1000. The Fitzsiram ons-Hau fight in the Crescent City the following year was before a $4O,0O0 house. The FTtz- Corbett mill at Carson in 1897 drew only S22, 2,o00. This was the smallest gate for a, fight between heavyweights of championship ca1ibre in recent years.

certain that the bone is fractured and that he will be out of the game for the remainder of the season.
 In the Blue football circles the in- Jury to Cornish is put above the loss of the game in importance. Recon ciliation to the disasters of a team largely composed of substitutes might come, but when the playing ability of the best and only good quarterback on the team, and thought by many to be the best that Yale has had in many years, is at stake. there is cause for real concern.
 It is not known by the coaches yet what will be their selection to fill the important place vacated but at a meeting of the coaches yesterday af- ternoon at the Taft it was decided that either Cornell or Wheeler would be eventually worked up into shape for the final games. It is possible, however, that Wilson, who did so we'll at the beginning of the year at the position, will be taken from fullback for the new job.

RUSSELL CLEANS
 UP GIANTS AGAIN
Anxious to Square Himself for
 Defeat at Home Town.

Houston. Texas, Nov. 3-Tex Russell, who left the Chicago White Sox world tourists the other day after he had lost to the Giants at Bonham, sud- denly showed up again and begged to be allowed to go in against the AcGraw men here yesterday. Tex got his chance and also his revenge and now can go back to Bonham and his bride. The White Sox beat the Giants by g to 4.
 When the teams got to Bonham, which is RusselPs home town, the oth- CT day, Tex decided to pitch for the delecta ton of the town folks and then leave the tourists to settle down here for the winter with his bride. It was a great occasion and the town band of Bonham was there. Tex went into The box and lost by 4 to 1. He receiv- Cd a watch but felt sore.
 The Bonham youngbloods who gath e around the post office to talk big league baseball got to thinking that after all Tex wasn't such a much. Russell decided to show the folks that he was all there and rushed into town today in time to get into the game. All the players were surprised to See him back.
 Russell was in great form and held the Giants to eight hits. The New York men we're able to bunch the bin- gles on Tex in only two innings, the third and fourth. Fromme was wal loped hard by the White Sox, who located the offerings of the one-time Red for fourteen bingles. Errors were very conspicuous, as the White Sox collected four uisp1ays and led the Giants in that respect

BRIDGEPORT BOYS
 STAR FOR WASH. GLEES
(New Haven Journal-courier.)

The light Hartford eleven, the much touted combination that opposed the Washington Glees at Savin Rock yes terday afternoon, proved to be the most inferior team to appear here this season. As a result the. Champion Glees captured the long end of a 54 to score. At every stage of the con- test, the visitors were outplayed, fail ing to gain a first down. McCabe and Morrison displayed faint signs of life for the vanquished contingent, while Howard Baker, Moshier and Lavery starred for the Fourth Warders.
 Moshier played halfback, iLavery fullback and Baker end.
