The features of the game were the excellent work of Hoyt and Harris for the varsity. Both made repeated gains around St. Paul's ends. Ths varsity seemed unable to rush the high school's line, and most of the work was around the ends. St.

22. When Grlssel put his toe under the pigskin and sent It whirling over towards the Madison High School goal posts this afternoon the Wisconsin football season was formally opened. If Coach King and the varsity football men thought they were to havean easy time with the Madison -boys they were soon undeceived. One touchdown was all the varsity could score, and as a result the high school boys are Jubilant at having held the varsity down to the lowest score made against them by the college men in several years. The varsity started out playing fairly snappy football and carried the high school boys off their feet.

After about two minutes of play Kropp went over the line for the first touchdown of the season. After this the training of the Madison players, who have been practicing for several weeks, began to show, while the varsity play became ragged and listless. Towards the close of the second half Coach King got tired of seeing the college men held and put In two of the old men, but time was called before another touchdown was scored. Lerum. Skow, Curtis, and Tratt w-ere the only old men to appear in the lineup at first, and these were soon taken out to give place to the new men.

Grissel started the game at full and tried several punts, but did not make any good ones, most of them being short and out of bounds. Inthe second half Webster, the old Engle-wood High School athlete, was put in at guard and did. some pretty work on the offensive, but seemed weak in defensive. The squad was called out at 2 o'clock to Randall Field and put in an hour at handling punts before the game was called. Erlek-son did some especially fine kicking.

Schrel-ber was unable to play today, being laid up as a repult of yesterday's scrimmage. The lineup: Champion Jeffries, then by claiming the championship for his protege. Jeff then took up the gantlet by issuing a defi to Fitzsimmons, adding that should the latter not 3eem it worthy of notice Ruhlin would be given an opportunity to wrest the title from him. Sharkey, to be in line, also takes a fling at Jeffries, and word comes from across the Atlantic that Corbett is just dying to get another crack at the champion. Fitzsimmons announced his retirement after he defeated Sharkey, and has had nothing to say.

Now that they have all had their say, here could they pull off a championship match should one be arranged? They all talk Carson City, but the latest from that city, made famous by Corbett and Fitzsimmons. is that prize fighting has been made a political issue at the coming election, so there is no certainty there. With Carson City out of the running San Francisco, at this writing. Is the only city in the United States that appears inviting. The game in that city, however, has received as many black eyes as it has in New York, and, although fighting Is tolerated there, it is a question as to whether California will accept what is rejected in other cities and States.

Fighters, from middleweights down, while stumped regarding big money for championship battles, have a better opportunity to gather in the shekels under the present condition of affairs, than have their heavier brethren. The first-class big fellows do not care about contesting against one another in short limit bouts unless the Incentive is as great, or nearly as great, as for a championship battle. One reason for this is that a winner is liable to be declared within six rounds, as with Fitzsimmons against Ruhlin and against Sharkey. They are aware of that and therefore do not care to chance their reputations unless they are well paid. I have reference to first-class heavyweights only, such as Jeffries, Fitzsimmons, Ruhlin.

Corbett, and Sharkey. Any of those referred to would undoubtedly take on second, third, or fourth raters for a much smaller amount of money, because their reputation would not be placed In Jeopardy. Fistic followers, however, do not take kindly to one-sided contests among big fellows, so Jeffries. Fitzsimmons. Ruhlin, et al.

will be compelled to bump' Into one another to gather any harvest. It Is not so with the lighter weight fighters, as they, irrespective of class or reputation, will match against one another for amounts within reach of fight promoters. Furthermore, the possibilities of quick knockouts among them do not predominate as with the big fellows, so their reputations are not so apt to become mutilated. Little fellows, say from lightweights down, can find plenty of work, provided they are not too exorbitant in their demands, as the country has abundant soft spots for them to drop into; cities, towns, and hamlets where the big fellows would not be tolerated. Chicago will be the grazing pasture this winter for all fighters, other than heavyweights.

Demands for matches are pouring in from the Fast by the score and those that never gave Chicago a thought are figuring the quickest route to this city. There are good, bad. and indifferent fighters in the East, as in the West, and now that Chicago holds the center of the pugilistic stage local promoters are in a position to do the culling. A year ngo It was different. Then we greeted Eastern fighters with open arms, but now.

well, the greetings will not be so cordial. There are a few, however, that will have to be catered to, but they must be titled pugs. The Tattersall Athletic club managers are keeping the wires hot for first-class material, and the probability is they, will secure the cream of the pugilistic country. For their next entertainment, which is scheduled for Game at Washington Park. Carson.

1. Referee Hlllman. empire Johnston. Timekeeper Methot. Chicago easily won Its first collegiate foot, ball game of the season yesterday, defeating Lombard University 24 to 0.

The Maroons showed frreat Improvement over their work of a week ago, and the play at times showed the form not usually attained until late October. The visitors proved lees formidable than was expected, and. although, they put up a hard, game right till the last sound of the referee's whistle, they never once came near scoring. Coach Stagg was well pleased with tha work of his men. The team did good playing." he said.

"Quite as well as could expected at this time of the year. Ther were blunders at times, and things were done that should not be done by a first-elas team. but. after all, the mistakes were th ones most natural under the circumstances and will disappear as the men gain mora experience. The Lombard boys gave us a good struggle and never let down in their dash and spirit until the end of the game, even though the contest was always against them.

Our backs were less effective in th last half of the game or the score might havs been larger." Good Crowd Cheers Chicago. More than a thousand spectators sat In th bleachers and cheered the players. A number of Galesburg people now living In Chicago came out to root for Lombard. It was a good day for football, and the appetite of the crowd was stimulated by the preliminary-game between the maroon scrub team and, the North Division High School. The scrubs The concluding day of the Glen View annual tournament was devoted to play in a four-ball foursome, best ball to count, and the Glen View Cup Handicap.

John A. McKerron. the champion 3-year-old. Is again premier in his class. This afternoon the great son of Nutwood Wilkes, who has been in retirement for two years, lowered the world's amateur trotting record to wagon at the Gentlemen's Driving club matinee ty stepping the mile in Up to several weeks ago the Gentlemen's Driving club has held that honor for two years with Temper, who did the mile in 2:094.

This season, as a starter, John A. McKerron and John Nolan stepped miles In 2:0914. equaling the record. But C. K.

G. Billings of Chicago lowered the record another fraction of a second when he sent Lucille a mile in at Chicago several weeks ago. Since that time President Harry Devereux has been working hard to get McKerron In condition for the crucial test. Although he raced at Boston on Wednesday, winning the $1,1 KM) Perpetual Trotting Challenge Cup, Mr. Devereux decided to start him today.

This was a special treat to his two invited guests, C. K. G. Billings, who wrested the championship from him, and F. G.

Hartwell, Vice President of the Chicago Driving club. Both held watches on the trial, and Mr. Billings caught the mile In 2:08, but the time was caught by the others at 2:09. McKerron was driven by his owner, Harry Devereux, and he clipped just one-quarter of a second off the record. Mr.

"Billings announced that he would start Lucille next Saturday for the championship. The track "was heavy and cuppy and considered two seconds slow. Had It been right It is likely the record would have been close to 2:07. The summary: 2:20 class, trotting; 2 In 3. Burletta.

Louts. Sept. 22. Special.) After an interesting match the Chicago Wanderers cricket team today defeated the St. Louis Cricket club by 48 runs.

The match was played at Faust Park on a wicket which was hard at one end and soggy at the other. Captain Da vies won the toss, and his side ws at the wickets for two hours and forty minutes. Waller played finely for his runs, not giving a chance until he was cleverly caught In the field by Robinson. Timewell. Davis, and Jones also batted well.

Ratcllffe had the best bowling analysis for St. Louis. The total of 1S1 was large considering the soft wicket. St. Louis began badly, losing three wickets for twelve runs.

Dougal and Robinson made a capital stand, putting on 40 runs for the fifth wicket. Robinson carried out his bat for a hard hit seventy-four. He did not give a chance until he had made fifty-seven, when he was missed three times in two overs at point, cover jioint and a high fly to the wicket-keepers. The remaining batsmen did nothing. Davis took seven wickets for 57 and Waller two for 2.

Playing out time, the visitors made 30 runs for two wickets. The wicket improved during the afternoon. INNINGS OF WANDERERS. EASV GAME FOIl XOHT1IWESTERX. Methodists Hefeat Xapervillc 30 to In TBT GEORGE SILER.l Pugilism for heavyweight championship lienors is shaping itself to fall Into the same grooves as before the Horton law made It possible to pull off championship fights In the State of New York; that is, plenty of talk but little chance to fight.

Before Jim Corbett and Tom Sharkey fought their unsatisfactory all beta off fcattie at the Lenox club a contest for the heavyweight championship of the world In Greater New York was considered an impossibility. True, there had been fights galore between good heavy-weights in New York City and Coney Island prior to the Corbett-Sharkey affair, but they practically passed unnoticed by the objectionists. The feeling, however, against championship battles was so strong all over the country it simply would tot down. This wa3 most forcibly illustrated when Corbett and Fitzslmmons were first matched and driven out of the States of Texas and Arkansas. "When Dan A.

Stuart first conceived the Idea of pitting Corbett and Fitzslmmons against each other at Dallas, he figured the pair a strong card to draw the sports from ail over the country. When forced out of Texas an opening to pull off the contest appeared at Hot Springs, Ark. Tha powers that be in that health resort assured everything was serene, and the fight could go on without molestation. This was given to Dan so strongly that he matched Tommy Rj-an and Mysterious Billy Smith and Peter Maher and Steve O'Donnell as a Bide attraction. There happened, however, to be a Governor In Arkansas as in Texas, and at tha last moment Governor Clark of the former State called a halt to proceedings.

That virtually barred Corbett and Fitzsimmons from fighting In the United States, not because they were heavyweights but because they in-, tended battling for the championship. Maher and O'Donnell, also heavyweights, and also barred from fighting at Hot Springs, wet In New York a short time afterward, fought it out, and no attention was paid to it. Corbett upon that occasion, stepped Into the ring, after Peter had knocked out Steve, and tendered him the championship, stating that he had retired. Maher and Fitzsimmons were then matched to 'ght for the championship, but the word championship not only barred them from fighting in New York but in the United Slates, with the result they were compelled to settle the question of superiority in Mexico. Before and after that battle heavyweights were permitted to slug each other to a standstill in the East and other parts of the United States, but when Corbett and fitzsimmons were again matched, with the ord championship embodied in the articles of agreement, the gates of every State In the union were immediately barred gainst them.

Dan Stuart, who matched the teen, managed, however, to get a fight bill squeezed through the legislative halls of Nevada, but for which fighters would still Ignorant of the solar plexus blow. After that battle the fighting game took a formidable boom in New York, and that, Uh the Horton law and Tammany politicians as a safeguard against any kind of interference, made heavyweight championship battles not only a possibility in New vfk but a supposedly long felt want. The fights between Sharkey and Ruhlin, Juries and Armstrong, Ruhlin and Maher, McCoy and Sharkey, and the latter and Cor-tt. were simply opening wedges for the championship battle between Jeffries and fitzsimmons and the others that followed, before this championship presto-change transformation occurred it was. as referred to in the opening paragraph, plenty of talk but little chance to fight." and just as the W.

Then Eldredge ran twenty-five yards further. Flanagan bucked three yards," and Lord was pushed over th line for a second touchdown. Ervin missed goal.

At the end of six minutes the score was 11 to 0. Lombard Plays Gamely. It began to look like a complete walkawar for the Maroons, but Lombard took a brace, at this point, and twice held- Chicago for downs. With the ball in their possession they were more successful. Steadily they rushed the ball down the field for thirty yards, but before they reached the mlddi of the fieid their advance was checked, and they did not once menace the Maroon goal line.

In the second half the maroon back fleM was entirely changed, and Fowler and Mac-Nab went In as guard and tackle In place of Ervin and Flanagan. Straus made the only-touchdown of the half. The play was enlivened by a good deal of kicking. Heffiwr of Lombard outpunted Chicago and held back the advance of th maroons by fre-q-ient kicking. Twice Frick of Lombard, tried for a place kick from the field, but the attempts were all unsuccessful.

Chicago railed twice cut of four attempts to kick coal.

His run of twenty-five yards through a broken field was cvo of the features of the game. Bodwell. Mac-Nab, Iiortoa, and Straus did fine work la Their First Game.

In thirty-five minutes of play Northwestern University piled up a score of 3t to 0 against the Northwestern College of Naper-vllle on Sheppard Field yesterday afternoon. When the two teams lined up the beefy men who were reported to be playing on the Naperville eleven were nowhere to be seen. In their stead appeared eleven diminutive youths, who were thrown back repeatedly In their attempts to batter holes in the varsity line. Napervllle's average weight was only 130 pounds, while that of Northwestern was over 175. McCabe and Unger, the two smallest players on the Naperville team, did the best playing for their side.

Unger's tackling being especially good. Elliot and Baird. Northwestern' ends, made some fine runs. Johnson and Smiley, the half backs, also did good work, Johnson excelling in running and dodging and Smiley in bucking. Johnson kicked off to H.

Sheldon, who was downed in his tracks by Elliot. Naperville then tried line plays without any gain and on the third down lost ten yards for offside play. The next play was stopped by Baird. and McDowell punted thirty yards to Schraudenbach, who returned the ball ten yards. A series of line plays by Daly and Deltz brought the ball to the fifteen-yard line, and Johnson was pushed over for the first touchdown after four minutes of play.

Johnson kicked the goal. McDowell kicked off to Baird. who returned the ball twenty yards. Elliot made seventy yards around right end. Johnson bucked the line for ten yards and Smiley was pushed over the line.

Bob Long, colored, well known among local fight followers, surprised me at Springfield last Wednesday night by defeating Barney Connors. Long has improved wonderfully since seen here last.

He is cool, has educated a good left hand, and withal can take a good grueling. Connors put up a nice fight for five rounds and would have won had he accepted the opportunities that presented themselves. He had Bob as good as done for in the third round, but failed to take advantage of the situation. He fell away after the sixth round and Long became stronger. In the eleventh round Bob ripped a few hot shot into Barney's body, and the affair was over.

Long wants to fight anybody at 146 pounds, but prefers twenty-rounds to six. BOWER WINS HOXORS IX XEW YORK. 8 Timewell. not out Total for two wickets CO Louise Patchen were posted as starters. Doctor was entered, but was scratched at the last minute.
