Jack Foy Agrees to Fight .
Sam Wood at Catch Weights
8ani M. Wood, of Macon, On., who
put up a loud howl because Jack Foy,
the local pugilist, did not take a clay
off and go down to Macon and accept
In person Wood's offer for a fight, has
'now sidestepped the acceptance of his
challenge made by Foy.
Wood claimed to be Just about pass-
Inr away to get a soak, tinder Queens-
bery rules, at Foy's nose; and now that
Foy has come across with a challenge
to fight. Wood deftly sidesteps and tries
Instead to match Foy with Joe Hoe.
Wood's excuse for not meeting Foy Is
that he cannot make weight of jess than
158 pounds.
Rather than pass up a ehnneo of
meeting Wood, for the purpose of tak
ing on some unknown. Foy agrees to
flght Wood at catch weights, which
will give the Macon man an advantage
of between 5 and 10 pounds over the
local scrapper.
Wood Is anxious to match Foy
against Joe Roe, of A nniston, for a bout
on October 11. Roe can make ISO
pounds, which Is Foy's weight, and tho
scrap might be a good one. Rut before
it Is fought Foy wants either to meet
Wood or to call hls bluff und force a
show down.

Siler claims that hia reputation was

Nolan claimed that Nelson was ‘‘job

Ha said that 8ilsr wat paid to throw

THOMAS KEEN
TO CHALLENGE
New York, Sept. 21.—A dispatch from
London say* that Sir Thomas Llpton
Rails for New York today on the White
Star liner Celtic. While business Is the
object of his trip to the United States,
the America’s cup matters undoubtedly
will receive his attention during his
stay on this side. It Is believed that
Sir Thomas Is as keen as ever on the
matter of a challenge. Yachtsmen here
are awaiting his arrival with the great
est Interest, for rumor has It that the
Irish baronet will put the matter of a
challenge directly up to the New York
Yacht Club.
It Is said that Sir Thomas Is pre
pared to make two propositions regard
ing a challenge, nnd Is willing to carry
out either. In the first place, he Is will
ing to challenge under the present rule
of measurement, and If the challenge Is
accepted will build a new yacht. An
other proposition that It Is understood
that Sir Thomas will present is to
race with Shamrock III under the new
rules. The deed of gift states that a
beaten boat can not race again for the
cup until two years have elapsed.
Shamrock was beaten three years ago
and Is again eligible as a challenges
Under the new rules Shamrock III
would fare very well, while Reliance
would be severely handicapped, having
to ullow something like fifteen mlnute.1
over the cup course. This she would
be unable to do and Constitution would
bo more available under the circum
stances. This fact would probably
cause a hitch In the negotiations, as
many members of-the New York Club

SOAKED AMBY
Bridgeport, Conn.. Sept. 21.—Willie
Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, made Amby
McOary, the New York light weight
look very much like a novice last night
In a six-round bout.
Fitzgerald started wlfh a tantalizing
straight left that hit the mark every
time. In the second round a succession
of lefts and right to the chin put Mc-
Garey to his knees.
In the fourth round Fitzgerald put
Amby down for the count three times
and could have put him out had the
gloves been less than pillows. The hell
saved Amby as he broke from a clinch
and tottered to his corner.
Fitzgerald In the fifth received one
hard right awing from McGarey nn the
side of the face that gave the McGarey
rooters hope, but after that Fltz took
no chances.
In the sixth Fitzgerald put McGarey
down with a right awing to the jaw.
Amby took the count, and at the flnlsb
was very tired.

Briggs, of Boston, received an awful

Sullivan, of Washington, D. C., before

test was scheduled to fifteen rounds,
but In the ninth round, after Briggs
had been sent, to the floor three times,
Steve Mahoney threw up the sponge
to save his man from a knockout. It
was Sullivan's fight from start to fin
ish.
