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 object to any conditions that will bar Reliance, desiring to see her once more the cup’s defender. for the Trawick cup. next eight for the second night cup und third eight for the third flight cup. ® nt ror Match rounds will be started Satur. day and will be continued until thi tournament Is over. 11 In * Owing to the rapid Improvement In the courae It Is likely that the n uall " fylng scores will be much lower than any which have heretofore been marts wm 2L C T cour " e - Undoubtedly ail!! i b b f aten several times by first dlvls on players, and It will take a fa”! WILLIE FITZ 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 13 WALLOPED.
