SMALLPOX CASES
IN NORTHFIELD
Mrs. Nellie Spaulding Caught the
Disease on the Train and Gave It
to Her Sister.

NORTHFIELD, May lS.-Two cases
Of smallpox are quarantined III the
house Of George DeGeorge on Main
street, the patients being Mrs DeGeorgc
and her sister. Mrs. Nellie b. Spaulding
of Roxbury, who came here for visit
to her sister pending a divorce trial
III Washington county court III which
she was the defendant. Mrs. DeGeorgc
contracted the disease from her sister,
and the latter became infected by rid
ing on the train from RoXburv to Moth
field which carried Mrs. Gertrude Hine,
the woman who was detained n Essex
Junction and IS now in quarantine IN
that village The date of that trip was
April l., and Mrs. Spaulding came down
with the disease on April 26, just IA
days after riding on the train. Other
cases have broken out i'll other parts OF
the state because Of infection taken
from Mrs. Hine, who was Oh her way
from Springfield, Mass. to BcIvidere
and who had q well developed ease.
! 1t is thought probable that persons in
both RoXbury and Northfield were ex-
posed to the disease from the Spaulding
woman, although il is said that Mrs
Spaulding did not go about much III

of her attorney, w. c. White, and . few

New York, Oct. IL - The Giants,

SCALPERS DIDN'T

TICKETS YESTERDAY

New York, Oct. -1t-From the slow
way in which the Polo Grounds
bleachers filed up yesterday the
scalpers did not find it so2easy to sell
the tickets as they did to buy them
from the original holders. After
holding the seats and: asking exorbf-
tant rates until o'clock many of the
scalpers were left with most OF their
coupons and had to dispose of them
at cut rates in the hour remaining
the Polo Grounds obtained coupons
from the scalpers at only a slight in
crease on the official prices.
AS the National Commission an
nounced that, Tuesdays RAIN checks
would not be honored after yester-
days game the scalpers had to dis
pose Of their holdings or. suffer total
loss. r.. r..s-. .. -, -
incidentally it might be remarked
that the ticket scalping gentry; did
not confine their efforts to- transacting
business outside of the gates, but
some Of them carried on a brisk trade

CARLISLE EXPECTS.
To HAVE. GREAT
TEAM THIS YEAR

New York. Oct. 1LlEarly predic-
lions with respect to the probably
shaping UP of the Carlisle Indian foot
ball team for this season have been
measu-ably verified by the showing Of
the last five or six days. Norwjth-
standing the redskins losses to the
army and navy the youngsters, who
average only a little over II years Of
age, arc showing such form that it
may re safely said that Carlisle will
have one of the most spectacular
teams in its history.
Harris has devoted = minute
stretches each day to charging and
blocking exercises, in wit III he lines
up the 1Edian first team l1nemen and
opposite each player places two string
men ana demands that the 'varsft "

New York fans are disappointed at
the showing made so far by Benny
Kauff and Heinie Zimmerman with
the bat. Kauff in ~ times at the bar
in three games has not chalked UP a
hit. Zimmerman also has been at
bat a dozen times and yesterday he
made his first hit, a scratchy little in
field single which he beat out by
good sprinting. Both are dangerous
men with the bat and their weakness
is the surprise Of the series.

POLLARD, FORMXR
BROWN STAR. TO
OPPOSE THE ANEX

New Haven, Oct. 11-That the An
mex football teams only chance to at
least hold the Steam-Roller football
aggregation of Providence to a low
score Sunday afternoon in that city
when they meet, is slippery field,
according to all indications for with
the services of Pollard, the sensational
Brown halfback in their backfield,
Providence fans look for a big score
against the New Haveners.
1t will be remembered that Pollard
was chosen by all the football ex-
perts of the East as the All-American
left halfback last fall these honors
being given that player as result of
his all season brilliant work. His
most sensational playing, however,
occurred right here in this city at the
Yale bowl when Yale lost to Brown
by the score of 81 to 6.
In the first half of that game, Yale
scored 6 points, while Brown could
not cross Yale's goal line. In the
second half, Pollard tore around the
Yale ends and made three touch
downs before the final whistle blew,
the Yale line appearing bewildered
against the attacks of the fleet half
back.
"A few weeks later. in fact on
Thanksgiving Day, Colgate met
Brown, and the fleet Pollard after
tearing around the Yale ends almost
at will a short time before, was ex-
pected to run away with the whole
Colgate eleven. AS a matter Of fact,
Pollard could not even gain against

tied to the fact that the field was wet,
and soggy, and the great halfback

JOHN E. SULLIVAN AND.
MORRISSEY HAD GREAT
GO IN BOSTON CORNERS

Sixty-four years ago today the lit
tie village of Boston Corners, N. Y =,
near the Massachusetts and. Connec-
ticut border was the Mecca of all
fight fans of eastern America. They
had gathered there, to witness on
the. following day, Oct. II, 1853, the
battle between the game. hard hit
ting John Morrissey and the tricky
: Yankee Sullivan, To the boxing
bugs OF today the names : of Morris
sey and Yankee Sullivan mean lit
tie, but they. with John C. Heenan
and Tom Hyer, were the great
all the pugilistic contests of that
under the London prize ring. rules
and with bare fists. Morrissey was
the victor after bloody contest of
thirty-seven rounds.
The first bout for the heavyweight
championship of America was pulled
off in 1S49 between Tom Hyer and
Yankee Sullivan, and was for a purse
Of $4,000. Hyer was the victor
winning in sixteen rounds. and thus
became the first recognized Ameri-
can champion. Hyer was an idol
for a time, but he dissipated his
strength and his money and in his
latter years was dependent upon the
charity of friends. MorrisseyN made
a fortune in fighting. and got rid or
most of it by gambling. After re-
firing from the ring he entered poll
tics and was elected to Congress. He
died fairly well-to-do and is buried
in a Troy. NJ Y. cemetery.
John c. Heenan was the next
American fighter to come to the
front. In 1850 the big Irish
American went over to England and
fought Tom Savers for the worlds
heavyweight championship. Heenan
had all the best of the bout when
the police interfered. Keenan,. be-
lieving he was being robbed Of the
victory, bowled over Sayer's seconds.
throttled Sayers, and then ran from
the cops. He was undoubtedly en-
titled to the worlds championship
belt, but he never got it, as Sayers re-
tired from the ring and refused to
fight again.
While in England Heenan mar
ried Adah Menken. a famous actress
of the day, who was also noted as a
poet and writer, and who moved In
the best social and literary circles of
London. She soon tired Of Heenan,
and got a divorce. when Heenan mar
ried another actress. Sara Stevens
Another great American fighter OF
this period was Joe Coburn, who won
the American championship a little
over a half century ago. After quit
ting the ring Joe opened a gilded
cafe on the great White Way, but
failed in business and died in extreme
poverty.
