Fight a Draw.
New Haven. Conn, Dec 1. James J.
Jeffries, the champion pugilist of the
world, made a quick dash for a train
to take him back to the ".Man from
the West" company yesterday ;after
noon an engaged man, it was said.
His Uaneee watched him as he sped
from the Elkdene hotel for the sta
tion, and she could be easily recog
nized as Miss Dorothy Drew, now a
peariug at the Poli's theater" in a
vaudeville sketch with Milton A horn.
The wedding, it is said, will take
place next week in, New York. Mr
Jetfries had neither the time nor the
breath to deny or conlirm the story
at the station, for he just caught the
last car. and Miss Drew refuses to
talk definitely, but their friends assert
positively that it is true.
Jeffries arrived in New Haven last
night on a late train. He was met at
the station by Stinson. the male mem
ber of the vaudeville team of Stinson
and Merton. and the two men jumped
In a waiting cab, which took them to
the Elkdene.
Miss Drew and Miss Merton were
waiting iu the hotel parlor, and after
an affectionate greeting the pugilist
escorted her to the hotel dining room,
where an elaborate supper had been
prepared. The supper was prolonged
for a number of hours, and was very
jolly.
Jeffries appeared to be in a parti
cularly happy frame of mind when it
was over. He and Miss Drew spent
yesterday in taking a drive, and a long
walk around the Yale campus. They
were, apparently little interested iu
anything or anybody but themselves,
but were' much pleased when some
students recognized them and saluted
Vociferously.
Jeffries had intended to take the
4:17 train yesterday afternoon, but lie
was twenty minutes late in leaving the
hotel. He immediately returned, with
out seeming to be much disappointed,
and reappeared again when lie had
just time to run to the station to catch
a train an hour later. The train was
just pulling out when lie got there.
Miss Drew blushed very much when
asked last night if- the report of the
engagement was true.
"Oh. 1 cannot say anything." she
s?aid. "There really is nothing detv
nite yet truly, there is not. I can say
nothing now, Wait a little while."
; Later in the evening. Mr Aborn. who
seemed , to take . it for granted .thai
everything had been announced, said:
"I am sorry to Jose my partner, but
If Mr Jeffries ' wants her for "tits life
partner I do not think it wijl be wise
for in" to put up a light."
Mr Jeffries could not be found after
he left tlie Metropolis l heater, in- Har
lem, last night. His brother said he
had heard nothing of" the reported eu
gase:::en.t. DAVE SULLIVAN LOST.
Chicago. Kw 1. Beeaiise"6T persist
ant fouling Dave Sullivan of New
York lost his fight with Ole Oleseu iu
the Illinois Athletic club last night.
After the first round, in which lie had
the worst of it, Sullivan resorted to
choking a-nd elbowing in the clinches,
despite the constant warnings of the
referee to desisl. Finally in the fourth i
round the. New Yorker's unfair tac- I
tics became so flagrant I hut the referee
was compelled to disqualify him and i
give the tight to Olsen.
. The fight,, as far as.it went, was a
lively one. Olsen staggered Sullivan
with two-straight lefts to the jaw in
the first three minutes and had con
siderably the best of it at the end of
the round. No complaint could be
made on Sullivan's work in this round,
but in the Second round he seemed' de
termined to rough it. At this style of
fighting he outclassed Olsen. an',' at
the end of the second round matters
stood about even! Sullivan's behavior
In the next round was worse than ai
the former. As soon as he would get
in a clinch he would put his hands
around Olsen's throat and hang on
until the referee pried them apart.
Sullivan ,. was cautioned for- each
offense and It was evident that he was
making no effort to fight fair. He
protested vigorously at the verdict, but
it availed hjni nothing.
RYAX AXP M'KEEVER.
. There is. a possible chance that
Tommy Ryan of Syracuse and Charley
MeKeever of Philadelphia may come
together ta England next year. Yes
terday the National Sporting club of
London offered through Dr Ordwav a
purse of 1.500 t or 3 20-ronnd fight "be
tween R j-aa and MeKeever, to be- de
cided an . Derby night of. next year.
While the incentive may seem to he
small, the offer is strengthened by the
fact that If the mill is arranged a side
wager of $2,500 will hinge on the re
sult. O'rdjvay has mailed a letter to
Georg Siler, who-is now at Chicago,
regarding the proposed mill, and " if
Ryan agrees to fight MeKeever and
can secure the necessary backing, the
encounter will be clinched at once.
Each man will receive $230 for ex
penses. , 1 . . , - -

KITCHENER" TO LEAD.
Lord Roberts Retires from South Af
rican Commaud.
LONDON, Dec. 1. The war office an
nounces that Lord Roberts handed ovet
the command of the British troops in
South Africa Thursday to Lord Kitch
ener. It is farther announced that the queen
approves Lord Kitchener's promotion to
lieutenant general, with the rank of gen
eral while iu commaud-iu South Africa.
A lieutenant general is the next highest
rank to a general in ' the British' army.
Lord Kitchener is the youngest lieuten
ant general in the British army. He was
horn in 1830 and entered the army in
1871. He was created a baron about two
years ago for destroying the mahdi's pow
er in thy Sudan. -
From Durban, Na-tal. comes the report
that Lord Roberts is due to arrive at
l'ietcrmaritzbiirg Dec. 4 and should ar
rive then Dec. 0.
There is virtually' ho fresh news from
South Africa this morning, hut- the re
tirement of Lord Wolseley, the return of
Lord Roberts and the appointment of
Lord Kitchener to the supreme command,
occurring as they do.. simultaneously, are
keenly discussed. Despjte some misgiv
ings hearty approval is generally express
ed of Lord Kitchener's appointment. It
is felt that if any one can clear up mat
ters in South Africa he is the man. and
it is readily admitted that the task be
fore him, though of a different kind, is
almost as difficult as that which faced
Lord Roberts ten months ago and is cal
enJnted to give the fullest scope to all of
Kitchener s talents as an organizer,
The Mprning Post hints broadly th?f
the, recent demand of -Lord Roberts foe-ve-enforcementa
has ''not been .'eoalplieiJ
with and insists that Lord Kitchener's
hands must npt be tied by any lack of
men or horses; It says: .
'Jf re-enforcements ore withheld or de
layed. Lord Kitchener may be paralyzed,
with what consequences to the empire no
one can foresee. From 30,000 to 50,000
men are required." 1
All the editorials dwell with considera
ble emotion on the nation's debt of grati
tude to Lord Roberts, whp has "success
fully piloted us through one of the dark
est hours of pur history. '

the uneasiness 'felt, - AU ' military posts

risons on. the Orange river drifts are be

Tfie" Statist proposes that the govern
ment should begin negotiations with
Commandant General Botha and Gen
eral De Wet to bring the war to a close.
As the Boer, leaders might misunder
stand the motive o.f an overture. from the
military authorities, it suggests that the
highest, .civil authority iu South Africa
should hegln the negotiations if not Sir
Alfred Miluer, then the chief justice of
Cape Colony or even Mr. J. H- Hof

This great financial journal leads up to

tion in South Africa and says: , ;

Local Men Merlden Was Dead
Easy for New Haven.
Waterbury ripped and tore Hartford
to pieces last night and drove the Cap
terbury this season and such a nerv-
ous, excitable audiehce has not been in
attendance during any season. It was
a "rough house" game ulso in many
respects and some of the Hartford
players were used none too gently by
the defenders of the local goal. Tom
Cotter was not treated any too well by
the spectators, or some of them, and
the big fellow didn't like it for a cent.
He was hissed and hooted, und then,
to cap it all. he was sent to the Hour
a couple of times witii a thud that
must have disarranged some of his in
terior. This nettled the big chief and
he didn't play the whole game throughl
He let Mayne take his place in the
first period and went on himself In
the second, but-he didn't stick it out.
He was coming back again in the third
period, but the crowd got sight of him
as he put one of his feet over the tail-
iug and they let out. such-a yell that
the big chap pulled back lout of Sight
und Jet Mayne : take . his place" again.
Mayne played a very good game, how
ever, but he was outplayed and out
classed by the clever work of the Wa
terbury boys. The only foul culled was
one oil Griffin, who didn't quite like
the way he -was being blocked and he
started to use a little rough tactics?,

Hartford will play in Waterbury to
night .and Brass City ieople are pre
dicting all sorts of happenings for the
Capitol City men. Hartford Times.
Pretty good predictions. Don't you
think, so
Tommy Holderness was a. little off
iu some of his passing last night but
he more than made up for it by the
clever blocking he did and when he
drove that last ball, home he was forgiven-
for everything. ,
Daly is making good, very good, and
when he sent big Toln to the floor in
one of the collisions last night the
crowd shouted gleefully. He and
Gritfiu are working .we'll together and
improving every, day as a team.
Fred Jean has won a warm place in
the hearts of the fans and the game
he is putting up astonishes eveu nis
greatest admirers. He Is a whole
team in himself and the way he took
care of Wodtke last night tickled
everybody.
"The Yellow Peril" is the name
given the Springfield team over iu Wa
terbury. Somebody in that section of
the state must have been in China dur
ing an uprising of the boxers and suf
fered a relapse of fright upon seeing
the up-river men in their yellow jer
seys. Hartford Times.
They are beginning to admit that
Waterbury can play polo some and the
New Haven and Hartford fans were
given fast and tierce polo before their
pet teams won. Walt until we get
them on our own surface and we will
return the compliment with interest.
Waterbury Democrat. Tonight will
tell the story. Hartford Times. And
the story is told.
John B. Wiley, who has agreed to
play i'l Merlden aud has accepted ad
vance muney from the local team sent
the following telegram Wednesday
night from Rockland. Me.: "Will
come last of week: cannot get money
here." This Is pretty near the last of
the week. Wiley will V'obably be here
to play against XeW;'''Haven to-morrow
night. Merideu , Journal.
Barney Doherty. the jumping jack,
had the same springs in his shoes aud
was just as clever as ever but he was
lnaqled, hauled and blocked uutil lie
was wild. He got one bard rap of the
ball that Was very funny to the spec
tators if it wasn't so funny to Barney.
Jean had the ball behind the Water
bury cage- and Barney shouted out a
warning to bis comrades. "High ball,
high ball." yelled Biirty'ey. And it was
a high ball just headSiJtgh', for it went
from Jeau'S hockey 1U a shot and lie
forche knew what wax what it banged
behind, his. ear and the' white topped
halfback saw stats. . '
As the Democrat does not give the
total chtinces of the goal tenders, the
percentages cannot be computed from
his record's. The Waterbury American,
however, printed a set. of averages a
day or two before, evidently bused on
scores up to hist Friday night. From
these the standing of all goal tends is
as follows: f,utions,iau2: Fox. -.K15:

iREATW BUSTLING MATCH;:
Paul Pons; the Giant Frenchman, Has"
S tWlt&i&&u' '.-if? ;
i Sew York.-. Dec .-j-Resplendent in
erSnson knickerbockers. Paul Pons, the
French champion wrestler, made his
dejiut before' a Wg" gathering'-iu the
Gi'aud .Central .Palace last night." He
met .folm Piehing, otherwise kiibwff as
'The. Butcher Boy,: and he defeated
Piening in two straight, falls, Graeco
Roman. The first he made iu 29 min
utes, 22 seconds? the second in 3 miu
uteSi 24' seconds. There was a great
difference in the size of the two men.
Pons was 0 feet o Inches in height and
weighed 240 pounds; Piening stood no
higher than 5 feet 10. and weighed
probably 17o pounds. "The Butcher
Boy" was on the defensive from the
eall of time, and so far as a contest
was concerned there was none.
The French champion mauled Pien
ing in fencing for a hold like a school
master cuffing a' boy. and when he had
the Butcher on the unit he proceeded
first to squeeze him and then turn him
ove,r. Piening, however, was as slip
pery as an eel, and wriggled out a
number of times before the big French
man could get his grip. Later, on two
occasions, he locked the Frenchman's
right arm under him and held him
there for several minutes. Otherwisa
the foreigner had him at his mercy,
and it wan simply a question of time
when his shoulders should go down.
Indeed, they were down three - times
before Pons was allowed a fall, be
cause Pieuing at the critical time man
aged, to push himself off the mat and
into the ropes, which meant that the
men should go back into the center
and begin all over again. Finally
Pons pinned him down at the north
east corner of the stage und gradually
pushed him back to a clean fall.
In the second bout Piening was given
no chance to form bridges and twist
himself out of the Frenchman's mighty
grip. They came together after a fif
teen ml uutes'w rest., and within a min
ute and a half they both took the neck
hold. Pons suddenly knocked Pieu
iug's arms up into the air and, plung
ing forward, threw his great arms
around the "Butcher Boy." He
piektd him up like tTdoll and. lifting
him high, threw him with a crash on
the canvas, falling on top of him.
Piening still -was game. He made a
half bridge with his right arm. aud in
this - position lay gasping for breath.
The Frenchman put all his strength
and weight to the task, but Piening
held on for nearly two minutes, until
the big man bent him over with a pow
erful tbow aud shoulder hold.
Crowds kept pouring into Grand
Central Palace long alter the prelim-'
maries were begun, there was a
goodly sprinkling of women among the
spectators, and they seemed to enjoy
the sport about as much as any one
else in thy hall. Ernest Hoeber. cham
pion wrestler of the world, was there,
and he climbed into the ring just be
fore the star ejyeht came on. und an,
uounced that he was ready to wrestle
the winner for anything from $100 to
$1,000. Then he bowed himself away.
Later Announcer Dunn told the crowd
that a protege of the great Yousouf
would be here on December 15 to wres
tle any one anil every one for the cham
pionship. "His nuui-e is Abdul Han
sen." said the announcer.
"All right. I'll accept," cried Roebi'i
from the side seats. "What's lis
name?"
Both principals in the star bout nf
the evening received plenty of ap
plause. Tlie "Butcher Boy" was. late
"in getting into his corner, but the
cheers . that greeted him showed that
the crowd didn't mind that. Pons came,
out of his dressing room soon after 10
o'clock; and drew his great length
through the ropes iu a leisurely man;
ner.
"Howjil ynu like, to be tlie Butcher."
somebody cried out as the crowd sur
veyed his massive frame, and nobody
said ho would. As a mutter of fact,
after the two men got to work on the
floor there were, few present who
would have exchange d places with the
"Butcher Boy" for a good deal.
The: conditions of the .match called
for two falls out of three, with an in
tervening rest of fifteen minutes.
Graeco-Roman, strangle hold barred.
EdNvard Forbes of Brooklyn was ref
eree. On the call Of lime they got togeth
er in the center. Pons reached forth
with his huge hand and almost dis
jointed Pitming's neck. After, two or
three minutes' fencing Piening went
to the mat. The Frenchman got his
arms around him and squeezed for five
minutes. , There was nothing of an ex
citing nature to the spectators in this
and they yelled for them to get up and
work. Pous didn't like this jeering, so

hold and in a moment lifted him from
the floor and hurled him down agam,
but without success. Piening always
was 'undermost, crouching tight to the
mat with his legs drawn under him.
Once more - the French .champion'
tossed the New -York boy into the air,
but again Peftiiug managed to come
up on his hands and knees. He was
fast tiring, however,- and within a mo
ment or two the Frenchman had the
butcher on his shoulders in the dust.

' After a rest they came out again,
and this time it simply was a case of

neck to the waist hold, and put the
Butcher down and almost out in o
minutes 24. seconds.
. Charles Weissladen of New York
and William Grater of Brooklyn,
lightweights, met in the first prelim

first fall iu : minutes and 40 seconds,
after a pretty lively bout. Weissladen.
however, came back at him in the next
and threw him over in less thau a
minute. The'third was a little longer
drawn out, Weissladen winning the
fall in four minutes.
In the second preliminary William
Hauck of Elizabethport and Julius
Gyssell came together. It was a case
of catch-as-catch-can aud Gyssell
demonstrated his superiority at the
game. He threw Hauck in o minutes
and 38 seconds. Hauck got the sec
ond fall iu 4 minutes after Gyssell got
tried and let him take a good hold.
Gyssell went over easy enough to
make most of the onlookers think that
that part of the performance had been
arranged.
The big crowd got enthusiastic over
tlu next eveut. Charles Miller, a
heavyweight of , Hamburg. Germany,
undertook to throw -George Bothner of
New York, who claims, the lightweight
championship of America. It was to
be a fall in fifteen minutes, .but time
was culled he had not accomplished his
dreadful purpose. Bothner was clever.
strong and supple, and although tlie
strangle hold was allowed, aud Miller
got it ou him. he broke the hold aud
escaped. Miller didn't eveu coma close
to putting Botluu'r on his back, but he
m'arly choked him to death. Both

Paul Pons and John J. Roouey of
Chicago, tiie latter being known as the
"giant gripmau," are to wrestle in Chi
cago on December 10. If Monsieur
Pons can get the better of any man
connected with the modern motor car
the Frenchman should have the cham
pionship at once.
