Dave Sullivan Whipped? Charge
Against Gardner.
The referee who was appointed to
take testimony in the suit for au ab
solute divorce brought by Mrs jNor
nian Selby against her husband, "Kid"
McCoy, finished his report yegterday.
He advises in favor of the wile, and
as soon as the report is tiled in the
supreme court next week she will se
cure an absolute decree.
Selby decided not to combat his
wife's action. He consulted with his
attorneys, and ten days ago withdrew
the suit which he had first instituted
against her on statutory grounds,
through an arrangement by counsel
for both sides, a referee was secretly
appointed to take testimony.
iwo days before McCoy departed
for South Africa he appeared before
the referee with his wife, and she gave
testimony intending to prove his in
fidelity. The tighter listened to the
charges and heard her testimony.
When she had concluded he was asked
to take the stand in his own behaif.
"There is no use in my testifying,"
he replied, "for I admit that the
charges brought by my wife are true."
McCoy was told that he would have
the oportunity of defending himself if
he desired, but as the names of cer- I
tain co-respondents had been with- !
drawn he did not desire to do so.
The proceedings before the referee
were held in secret, and even lat
night Howe & Hummell. counsel for
Mrs Selby. denied any knowledge of
the proceedings.
DIXON WANTS FIGHT.
George Dixon wants to fight. The
former champion is "hard up" at pres
ent and is anxious to make some
money. The colored boy told a re
porter recently that he had been tak
ing the best of care of himself. This
Is the first time in his long career that
Dixon ever really sought a mat-h.
Now he frankly admits no one will
meet him and he realizes that he is
not such a drawing card as he used to
be.

YANGER-SULLIVAN DUAW. -Benny
Yanger, the Tipton slasher,
and Tommy Sullivan, of Brooklyn,
fought a hard six round draw ax the
Star theater, Chicago, last night. Sulli
van forced the fighting all the way,
but Yanger met him with stiff coun
ters. - There were no knockdowns. The
show consisted of twenty-three fights,
six of them were on the program and
one was in the crowd, the climax com
ing when two baldheaded men, locked
in a death grapple, fell from the circus
seats and hopped into the ring. When
Referee Patsey Fadon called a bout
between Clarence Forbes and Walter
Bloom a draw, Harry Forbes, brother
of Clarence, attacked Fallon, and hit
him numerously. Then everybody
fought joyously, and the fun lasted un
til thirty policemen came and clubbed
all parties properly. While the police
were thus engaged on the stage, the
audience in the back of the house set
to with great fervor, and for ten min
utes Jews slugged Gentiles and Irish
men whaled Italians. All in all, it was
the merriest night of the Chicago
lighting season.
IjAVIGXE COMING BACK.
It begins to look as though George
Liavigne had got straightened out on
tiie road of soorieiy, and it lie has lie
v. ill yet make trouble for ambitious
boxers. Atier soaking in the mineral
waters at Greenspring, O., for three
weeks, he has returned to Cleveland,
where he was matched to meet Frank
Erne before the Business Men's Gym
nasium club some time next month.
There will be ho boxing in Cleveland
for the present at leat. and the bout
is off. Lavigne, according to a Cleve
land winer, looks to be in the best of
health and weighs about 133 pounds,
lie will remain in Cleveland a few
clays, when he will go to his home in
Saginaw, Mich, with his brother, Billy
Liavigne. After sojourning in the
woods of Michigan for several days
L.avigne will probably go to Chicago
and try to get a match with either
Erne or McGovern.
WHO SULLIVAN WHIPPED.
The Louisville Courier-Journal falls
into -this singular error: "The match
(Sullivan-McGovern) will be for the
featherweight championship of the
world, for Sullivan has never faced
McGovern in the ring, and lie has
whipped every other featherweight of
note in the world, receiving the de
cision over Oscar Gardner last Mon
day night. Gardner was the only great
fcatherweigiit he (Sullivan) had not
previously beaten." If there is any
good feu l he; weight who has not beat
en Dave Sullivan he should step for
ward and be identified. When Oscar
Gardner was in good condition he put
Sullivan away in seventeen rounds.
George Dixon had Daviu "all out" in
ten rounds, and "Kid" Broad walloped
him unmercifully, although David
stayed the limit. Even little Pedlar
Palmer outpointed Sullivan in twenty
rounds. It would tie interesting to
know one good featherweight Sulli
van has beaten on the merits of the
case. Drawn battles with Marty Me
dio, Bernstein and Hamilton are his
star performances.
CHARGE AGAINST GARDNER.
It is charged that Oscar Gardner,
in addition to fighting one a week for
several months, has also looked
searchingiy upon the wine, when red,
white, blue and other colors. Oscar
must desire pugilistic oblivion.

Yale the Only Team Confident of Win
ning To-day.
At Yale field yesterday me Hill
house High school of New Haven de
feated the Hopkins school by the score
of 15-0. The first half was ciose and
exciting replete with3' brilliant end
runs and heavy bucking of the line.
The Hopkins eleven wAs very weak on
the offensive, but rather strong on the
defensive. Hopkin3 started the game
by kicking, off to rj.Hillhouse. After
about thirte. n minutes, play Hillhouse
made a touchdown, but failed to kick
a goal. The first liai- which consist
ed of about ten m:nnjt?s, ended with
the ball on Hillhnus's twenty-five
yard line. Durirg.ithis half Hillhouse
worked to advantage jts new tackles,
back formation. In. the second half
Hillhouse scored twice, once by a beau
tiful run around right end by Halfin
ger, the other by the use of the tackle
back formation. Both times Shanley
fa'l-d to kick a goal. The New Ha
ven Union says of the game:
The playing of Hillhouse as a whole
was encouraging, and there are hopes
entertained that a team of champion
ship form may be brought' out to meet
Bridgeport next Saturday. However,
the fumbling was bad and much prac
tice must be had to correct this fault.
Those players showing up in good
form were, for Hillhouse, Farrell,
ITalfinger and Kennoriv: for Hopkins,
Taylor. Mc-se and Townsenil.
The line-up of the two teams was
as follows:

Philadelphia, Oct 20. Pennsylvania
again took secret practice yesterday on
Franklin field. Coach Woodruff had
a number of trick plays he wished the
team to practice "and which .the men
have been developing for some time.
However, these, tricks are hardly to
be used against Columbia to-day but
are to be retained for future use. They
They are likely to be kept for Harvard.
New York, Oct 20. Secret practice
was held at Columbia field yesterday
In preparation for to day's game with
Pennsylvania. The signal code was
perfected and the newer players drilled
in the formations to prevent errors
In the game. Murphy has been pro
nounced ineligible to play, but a squad
of forty men will leave on the Pennsyl
vania raiiroad at 9 o'clock to-day. No
body is sanguine enough to expect a
victory,- but if the men do not fumble
a chance to score is considered bright.
New Haven, Oct 20. Fine cold
wtather greeted Yale's football play
ers yesterday afternoon, when they
lined up for their daily practice. The
weather acted like a tonic to the play
ers. They went to their work with
plenty of dash. The 'varsity scored
touchdowns just about as they pleased.
The scrubs were powerless against the
attacks of the 'varsity rush line. It
was by far the best practice that Yale
has had this fall. The team worked
like a machine and the coaches showed
their approval. One man was hurt.
He was Vanderpool. who was playing
fvll back on the college team. He was
laid out for a few minutes.
Princeton, Oct 20. Princeton's
eleven had a fast short signal drill yes
terday afternoon in preparation for
their tussle with Lafayette at Easton
to-day. It is admitted here that the
Tigers will have a hard job in beating
the boys of the Pennsylvania college,
who are reported to be expecting at
least to eoual the record of the 18f0
eleven, which playpd Princeton a tie
game at Easton. That the representa
tives of old Nassau are not at all con
fident of lauding a victory is evident
from the fact that strenuous efforts
are being made to have a large crowd
of under graduates accompany the
team and many have already signified
their intention of making the trip.
Ithaca, Oct 20. The most of Cor
reTs men took no work yesterday, as
Coach Haughton thought that the men
needed a rest as a preparation for to
day's game with Union college. A few
of the reeulars were in, but even these
worked for only a short time. There
will be many changes in to-day's game
with Union. Tauss'g will be moved
from right end to left end. Cross tak
inar his old place at ricrht end. Lueder
wi'l go back to hisjbld place at right
tackle and Alexander will keep out of
the game entirely, as he is not in con
dition to play. Captain Starbuck will
not play, bnt will go to Easton to
watch the Princeton-Lafayette contest.

they have quite a chance to win this
time. The Brown team arr.vtd at Chi
cago on Thursday, so that the men
could get two nights' rest before lining
up. Last year's defeat was atti-ibuced
to the long railroad ride and a lack of
necessary rest. At Providence the stu
dents feel that thtir players will be
) victorious because of the closeness of
; last Saturday's game with the Univer
s ty of Pennsylvania. Brown's de
fense was remarkably strong, but the
attack was weak, a defect that Coach
i Robinson believes he has remedied.
i The Chicago eleven is not considered
! the equal of last year's combination,
though it is by no means weak.
