."Then why In thunder don't you
get some ball, players?." was. the

completely upset' the owner of tho
tail-enders. But Ebbets was able to
appreciate the joke when be got over

THE GRIDIRON
All Witerburyi and" ThomiitoB
and Brooklyn and New Haren -Play
Sunday. "
The game out at Reldvllle Sunday
should attract one of the biggest
crowds of the season. Thomastou
will be here and all the people of
this city know, just what happened
to Waterbury when the boys went up
the road ,to play. They went tbero
to play football, but they found out
before they were there many min
utes that it was a slugging match
they were up agulnst, and the specta
tors were among the sluggers. They
were not beaten in the game by any
means and really should have beeu
awarded the victory, but weak-knrwd
officials were afraid of their lives and
the game went nothing to nothing.
Thomaston then will be down hero
Sunday and With' the team Is coming
a big delegation of rooters. Perhaps
some of those who were so aggres
sive in the recent game will be hero.
If they are-they had better steev
clear of Louis Cronan,' for the latter
has borrowed President Roosevelt's
"big stick" and proposes to get
"hunk" for that lambasting he got at
the hands of the spectators in Thom
aston. Manager Lawlor will have
Neary, McDonald and Dalton in the
line-up for the first time this season.
The Laurels and the Thomaston Ju
niors will be in the preliminary con
test, which will start at 2 o'clock; v
. .,The Brooklyns bavs not as yet ac
cepted the challenge made by the AK
Waterburys to play on Sunday, No
vember 29.- It will be impossible for
the two teams to gef together on an
earlier date. Thanksgiving is out of
the question as that date has been
left for either the Acorns of Bridge
port or the Thomastons. It will de
pend on wnich team of. i the two
stands the highest in average after
the next two Sunday games. The
Elms are very; anxious to get 'tba
date offered to the Brooklyns and it
is possible that within tne next, few
hours a game will be arranged with
that team, thus depriving Brooklvu
of any chance to meet the All Watei

SOXGS OF THE GRIDIRON
The best singing at a college foot
ball game is at th Y'ale-Prlnceton
contests. This Is always worth the
price of admission. And of all the
songs there is none that holds, it
own as well as the grand ' battle
hymn of the Tigers;. "Old Nassau." -Tune
ev'ry heart and ev'ry voice,
Bid ev'ry care withdraw; .
Let all with one accord rejoice,
In praise of Old Nassau. . -In
praise of Old Nassau, my boys,' ;
-Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Her sons will give, while they shall
live, - '.' '..
Three cheers for Old Nassau.
The Yale men have a call to battle
too, which goes like this:
In the time of old New Haven lived a
Big chief. Eli Yale;
And be loved to go front bis bunga
low,
Just to hunt the tiger's trail.
'Way down In Jersey he would go,
with , . .
A band ten thousand strong,
To the tiger's den, where his trusty
men would, sing their .little
song.
Wow, wow, wow! Wow, wow, wow!
Oh, we are a band of Elis and we
Come ten thousand strong
For to catch th User from tha
Niger,'
While h sings his jungle song.
We will tear him into tatters and tie
Knots into his tail,
We'll not hesitate to tak and erate
And freight hm back to Yale.
"Princeton"' lias a Wale song, of'
which a verse and chorus Is as fol
lows: When Princeton, old, Princeton, first
Won her renown. ,

BAYARDQ THE CHAMPION.
Two Year Old Wins Dewburst Plate
: and Retires with Total of $64,440,
' Bayardo, the unbeaten 2 year old
of the English turf, finished up his
brilliant season with a decisive vic
tory for the Dewhurst plate in the
Newmarket Houghton meeting. Dan
ny Maher had the mount on the colt
and after waiting on Sir Daniel Coo
per's crack filly Perola for threo fur
longs, the American let Bayardo have
bis head a little and the young chain
plon came away with a grand burst
and won by three lengths.
The race was worth 16,635 this
brings the colt's total of seven races
to the nice sum of $(4,440. A cou
ple of weeks ago Bayardo won the
Middle Park . plate only by a length
from the Ally Vivid, and she, too, is
owned by" Sir Daniel Cooper. Many
of the critics thought Bayardo was
extended, while not a few held dif
ferent ideas. In the Dewhurst plats
Bayardo carried 131 pounds to 126
on Perola. There Is little doubt but
the colt will be the Derby favorlto
in the winter books. Bayardo is
small in stature and not much to look
at, but is a wonderful mover, and is
seen to the . best advantage . when
galloping at full speed. '
So we'll, cheer thew, we'll, eheer
' them to .
Victory once more by singing this
battle song. -Fight,
fight, fight, with all your
might,
Just as you always do; '
Score, score, score, wa must win
once more,

THE PUGILISTS
Tommy Burns Has Bsfttu Troioinf
- For His Fiffct With Jack
" '. Johnson.
Reports from Australia say that
Tommy Burns has already begun
training for his coming fight with
Jack Johnson, the elongated Ethi
opian, who is bent on wresting tlio
title of heavyweight champion from
Thomas. Perhaps that Is the reHson
Burns has neglected to seud
along .. bis regular . press no
tices of himself and bis
doings In the land of the bushwhack
er. ' Let's see, Burns is scheduled to
fight Johnson. at Sidney on Decem
ber 26, so it looks as though Tommy
is not going to take any chaoces of
not being In condition for the battle.
Up to date Burns has neglected his
training most shamefully, for he fig
ures that all the men be would be
called upon to meet in Europe would
be easy for him without any prelim
inary work. And they were; but
Johnson Is different. And besides,
they are matched to fight to a flulsh.
In a limited round fight Johnson
would stand just a little more than
an even chance with Burns, but
when it comes to a finish, well, it
looks as if the odds are in favor of
Burns. Tommy Is a rugged chap,
and .he's game, exceptionally game.
These two things, and condition, of
course, are the most important fac
tors In finish contests.
According to the latest reports
that have just been sent in, Thomas
intends to be in the pink of condi
tion when be faces Johnson.
BR ITT TALKS WELL.
Jimmy Britt, prominent at 'ne
time in lightweight circles, who Is at
present engaged In the profitable oc
cupation of picking plums from the
British pugilistic tree, has an inter
esting story on boxing In a recent
Issue of an English paper. Tho gist
of Brltt's article is a comparison be
tween boxers of a decade ago and
those of to-day. Brltt states that the
Improved and common sense methods
of training, combined with the new
tricks of the ring game, have un
doubtedly made the glove artists of
the present time superior io their
predecessors. However, the Cali
fornian writes that were it possible
to restore to John L. Sullivan, Jem
Mace, Peter Jackson and Charley
Mitchell their former youth and vi
tality and to equip them with all the
new tricks of ring training and ideas
of boxing, in his opinion the old
timers would prove to be superior to
the present idols of the light fans.
Furthermore, Britt compliments tho
present generation of boxers by ray
ing that they are, as a rule, far more
gentlemanly and polished than th.i
fighters of the days of Mace and
Sullivan. This fact is easily ex
plained when one realizes how' tight
ly the present top-notchers on the
pugilistic ladder hold on to their
ring winnings. A present dav fl5ht
er realizes that his career in -the
squared circle is limited and that It
is up to mm" to "make hay while
the sun shines" and to diRnns with
all forms of dissipation.
SUMSIERS IS AFTER BRITT
London, Nov 13. Jlmmv nwn r.r
o. , . - . "
oau c ruucisco, ana Johnny Summers
of England, will probably meet again
early next month before the Nation
al Sporting club. Since their last
battle at Wonderland, when Brltt
was given the decision. Summers has
been very urgent in his demand for
another match and the National
Sporting club has offered the pair
1,000 for a twenty-round match.
Summers has already accepted the
offer, and after Brltt is through with
a Short. nrfimant i I..
halls h will probably ae -eft to Th
match. There has been much wrang-I
ling over the last battle and the foi-L
lowers or hummers win not be sat
isneo until ne Is given another
chance at the Californian.
Britt has accepted a few engage
ments in the local music halls and
the sparring every night will keep
him in good condition.
