FLYNN TAKES
BAD BEATING
FROM DILLON
Pueblo Fireman Bombard-
ed in Every Round, but
Shows OameneSS.
BY IGOE.

When Jim Flynn crawled through
the ropes after going ten rounds with
Jack Dillon at the Broadway Sporting
Club in Brooklyn last night he was
voted the gamest man that ever stood
in q pair of lighting shoes. That Flynn
lasted the limit amazed the greatest
crowd that ever saw a fight in the big
arena. For ten rounds he was beaten
from one corner OF the ring to the
other and never once did he vince
Dillon was arm weary from his own
efforts 10 topple Flynn. Indeed, IN the
ninth and tenth II looked as If Flynn
would overcome the great lead that
Dillon had gained. Jack was hardly
able 10 lift his hands in these two
rounds. while Flynn astounded every
one by making a strong finish. MS
blows lacked the steam 20 drop Dillon.
Had he the same punching power that
Dillon possesses he might have won IN
the last two rounds.
Flynn kept his head buried on Dill
Ions chest while he worked both hands
continuously. Dillon played at the
same game most OF the time, but occa-
sionally he would draw away, and then
poor Flynn would get bombardment
that made even the most hardened ring
followers turn their heads to shut out
the light. Flynn tried throughout TO
land his right hand, but Dillon knocked
il down every time Jim sent it across.
Abdul. the Turk, Jim's old training
cronie. kept up a running fire Of advice
to Flynn. Half the time he was In the
ring, roaring instructions TO the fire
man. Though the crowd rode him hard
for his noise, the faithful Turk wouldn't
let up for an instant. The referee
warned him time after time, but the
Turk beloved on TO his hearts con-

HAMILTON TEAM
In HARD DRILL
Work on South Field for
Game with East Aurora
Eleven on Saturday.

The Hamilton Institute football team
underwent an overhauling yesterday
on South Field in preparation for its
game with the East Aurora (Ill.) High
School at Washington Park, Brooklyn,
on Saturday. The players went back
20 fundamentals for the day, and
brushed up on tackling, interference
and falling on the ball.

20 have the assistance OF George FOs-
ter Sanford, the Rutgers coach, and
Ted Larsen. former Princeton player
and present coach of the Manual Train
ing High School team. sent his charges
through nothing but simple plays yes
terday. Ollie Formosa, the captain,
spent some time practising, punting,
while Lamy Crovat, the star quarter
back, put in the time at drop kicking.
Cam and Moran, the ends, were drilled
on breaking up interference, as were
the tackles. The linemen came in for
special attention, for II is on them the
hope for victory rests. Pike, the Au-
rora fullback, has been unstOppable
against the teams he has played this
season. The Hamilton forwards hope
TO stop him.
The East Aurora team will arrive in
this city tomorrow and will work out
at Washington Park, where the game
will be played. Five Of the Western
players made the Illinois State all-scho-
lastic eleven last year. These five are
on this years team, and will take part
IN Saturdays game.
The visitors played through a sea
son of ten games this year without
defeat, scoring 400 points 20 Q for OPP

PITTSBURGH WANTS
TO PLAY CORNELL
Issues Belated Challenge for a
st-SeasOn Football Game.

Pittsburgh, Nov. SO.-The football
team Of the University of Pittsburgh
tonight challenged the Cornell eleven
for game TO determine the Eastern
championship. Neither team lost a
game during the season just closed.
The challenge was sent in the form
OF telegram TO Graduate Manager
Kemp, Of Cornell, by Joseph II. Thomp-
son, chairman Of the football commit
tee of the local university.
II specified that the teams were 20
meet within the next two weeks on
neutral ground. Philadelphia or New
York being suggested, and the pro-
ceeds were 20 90 20 charity.
Announcement was made here that
the Pittsburgh players will be kept in
training until reply has been re-
ceived from Cornell.
Cornells' answer can be forecast.
II will be NO" The players broke
training on Thanksgiving evening, after
defeating Pennsylvania, and under the
circumstances the challenge comes
rather late.
In any case, the faculty would not
be likely 20 sanction the game.

Jim was speaking before she could

back from high school l was scared
for awhile for fear I'd lose you. But
you weren't that kind, Clarico. You
don't forget. And love you just as
much as I've always loved you. Won't
you say yes dear?"
And in another moment even the
novel was forgotten in the Joy of
knowing that she loved and was loved.
"Jim," she ventured presently, do
you know you never asked to see my
my stories? Jim, don't you think
that, when we are married, you and
ought to share everything together ?"

pay-I kept him all summer. He told
me thing or two. There isn't money
in it, and it's all a swindle anyway.
Suppose you do sell some magazine a
story? That doesn't bring in the bread

wouldn't need that but don't you see,

you can do all the writing you want

his voice. You know, dear, always

house neat, and look after her babies"
Clarice was eminently practical,
only not in the same way as jim.
That night she faced the problem with
her own frankness. If she could never
share those hopes with finland she
knew that she could not she resolved
that they should never come between
them. She would abandon them. She
would take up the part of wife and

would be everything to him.

WORST MONTH FOR CHILDREN
Assertion Made That September is the
Most Trying Period That the
Teacher Has.

What is the stormiest month of the
school year for teacher and pupils :?
Some will say the month of May, be-
cause the children are so eager then
to get out Of doors after their long
winter Imprisonment. Others will say
February Is the hardest month be-
cause nature is so unkind at that time
that everyone feels irritable. But If
you will ask thoughtful teacher this
question. she will say: THE month of
September is the most difficult Of all.
because then the pupils are restless,
uncontrolled and mischievous. It is
almost impossible to make them do
any good work during this month"
The best way to solve the problem
is to bring pupils slowly to the fun
school day within doors. None Of them
ought to spend more than two hours
day in the schoolhouse during the
first week. They may add a half.hour
to this each succeeding week until
the regulation program is attained
The very young tots should spend not
more than an hour and a half in school
each day Of the first week, and they
should be brought more gradually
than older pupils to the full school day
within doors. Taking the school year
as whole, more work will be accom-
plished by following this program than
