Michigan Sidesteps Vandy
to Rest Up For Old Penn.
Nashville, Tenn.. Sept. 21—The great
team of the University of Michigan
flBdt it undesirable to tackle the South-
• rn giants who represent Vanderbilt
University on October 13, so soon be
fore their trip to* Philadelphia and In
consequence the date with the cham
pions of the South has been cancelled.
Manager Thompson has hopes thut
the Commodores will be able to secure
some ether date with Mh hlgan, but In
case they cannot, It Is likely that thb
University of Mississippi team will be
taken on for a game In Nashville on
that date.
If a game Is played in Nashville Oc
tober 13 it will be played, in all prob
ability, at Cumberland park, for the
state fair will be on there at that time.
Jack Foy Agrees to Fight
Sam Wood at Qatch Weights
Sam M. Wood, of Macon, Oa., who
put up a loud howl because Jack Foy,
1 the local pugilist, did not take a day
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
ing away to get a soak, under Queena-
bery rules, at Fay'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 ennnot make weight of less than
158 pounds.
Rather thnn pass up a chnnce of
meeting Wood, for the purpose of tak
ing on some unknown, Foy agrees to
fight Wood at catch weights, which
will give the Macon man an advantage
of between 5 and 10 pounds over tne
local scrapper.
Wood Is anxious to match Foy
against Joe Hoe, of Anniston, for a bout
on October 11. Hoe can make 150
pounds, which Is Foy's weight, and the
scrap might be n good one. Hut before
it is fought Foy wants either to meet
Wood or to call his bluff and force a
show down.
Start Elimination Trials
on Long Island Saturday
New York. kept. 21.-Everyfldng Is In
readiness for the clludniitlng trial* tumor
! row to decide which American automobile
' shall be eligible to compete in the Vander
bilt cup race next month.
The Ixmg Island course Is In fine order,
the grandstands are completed and the Ilf-
teen contestants have their ears tuned up
find ready for the best of which they are
capable. Mlneohi. Harden Ulty and the
otner towns In the vicinity of the course
will be the Mecca today for the thousands
who will go down In cars or by rail so as
to be on band when the races are started,
«s a struggle Is In prospect that for spe»*d
and daring has never Ihh'O equaled In this
or any other country.
This year's nice has arousal greater In
terval than an/ other ever held In this
country. In»lh from a spectator's point of
view and from that of the manufacturer.
Realising the value of winning such an event
the latter took up the matter In earnest
this year and have expended |3f»0.W>0 In
building special cars for the race, bast
year a largo percentage of those entered
were stock cars, stripped and prepared for
the race. This year It Is different, and It
Is confidently Iwdloved by Americans that
one result of the mouths of experiment and
preparation will be u surprise party for
the foreign cars.
Followlug the precedent set In 1904 nnd
IMS, the coiiuntsslon has selected u course
for the third running of the raee that dlf-
} 'era inark«*dly from Its predecessor. There
S a illvergeiiee of opinion as to whether the
Hew* eoprse Is faster or slower thnn the old
one, nlao as to whether It Is less dangerous
OV more so. The new course Is as follows:
Reglmdiig at flu* Intersection of Jericho
thrnplkc am: Mlncoln avenue, easterly
ithrough Jericho and Hast Norwich road to
| East Norwich at MHJueen's; then easterly
; along the Flushing and North Hempstead
(turnpike to Hulls Head corner at Ureeti-
• vale; then southerly over the huek road,
‘ ao called, to old Westbury; then westerly
I to Mlncoln road; then northerly to the
<Flushing nnd North Hempstead turnpike;
ithen westerly over this road through the
; village of Mnnhjisset to the junction of the
fLakeville road; then southerly to Lakeville;
ithen easterly to Hearlngtown; then south-
farly ewer Mlneoln avenue road to tho start-
J log point.
This rcuta ,hsa eleven corners, ns coin-
spared with seven last year, but It Is claimed
> E - - -
by those In a position to know tho difficul
ties confronting drivers in such a competi
tion thiTt nil eleven will not offer such dan
gers as did the lesser number of a year ago.
There Is hut one turn that Is regarded ns
really dangerous. This h known as the
“halrphi turn," and Is located at the Junc
tion of the hack road with the old West-
bury toad, at Old West bury. Much extra
caution will have to lie used lit rounding
tills turn, hut all the drivers to make the
race tomorrow hsve had fen days’ practice
over the course so that they have become
familiar with the "hairpin." thus reducing
to a minimum the chances for it collision or
accident.
The eliminating trial, ns well ns the Idg
race on Oct.’6, will he ten times around the
circuit, making a total of about J!C» miles.
The time required for the raee Is enlciilutcd
at from 4% to 5 hours. Ijist year's cun rare
of 2>:t miles was won lit 4 hours 36 minutes
and k seconds.
There Is much speculating on the pros-
as to the order in which the ears should li
placed. The official list of entries of the
ilftccii cars that will compete In the elimi
nating trails includes:
Car and lirlver. Horse Power.

Siler clalme that hie reputation wae

Nolan claimed that Nelson Wae “job

He eeid that Siler wae paid to throw

Tho loser said also that Siler was

The organization of a senior league Is not
certain this year, though It Is probable that
one will be started. A slx-clnb Junior bns-
kethnll league, however, Is practically as

Some Chunks of News From
the Worn Out Dope Mill
While Judge Kavannugh was In *the dty
Inst Saturday, a reporter for Tho Ledger
took occasion to talk to him with regard
to the various charges, Insinuations nnd
Hqunhhtcs that have taken place In the
league this season.
It was the first time The Ledger man
had ever met the fatuous Judge. Every
thing went off nicely nnd Just ns expect
ed. The many Interviews purporting to
have come from him during the senson were
evidently true. He was manly enough to
admit everything. He bore himself with
seemingly good will toward the world. He
appeared absolutely oblivions to the fact
that the fight started against him hero In

Right you are. Bo. The Judge Is not of
the class of Gllks and Vaughn, who give
out Interviews one day and deny them the
next.
There Is no Imselmll game at the South
End today, but tomorrow we have with us
the coining champions of the National
League and the posislde world’s champions
of I9t)7. Frank rbnuec* has a wonderful
team, but it must In* admitted that they

Charles W. Murphy for hi* enterprise and
Frank Cluinee for his leadership, they

THOMAS KEEN
TO CHALLENGE
New York, Sept. 21.—A dispatch from
London says that Sir Thomas Llpton
sails 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 hdre
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, and 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 far* very well, while Reliance
would be severely handicapped, having
to allow something like fifteen minutes
over the cup course. This she would
be unable to do and Constitution would
be 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

WILLIE FITZ
SOAKED AMBY
Bridgeport, Conn., Sept. 11.—Willis
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 with 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-
Onrey 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 flfth received one
hard right swing from McGarey on the
side of the face that gave the McGarey
rooters hope, but ufter that Fltz took
no chances.
In the sixth Fltzgemld put McGarey
down with a right swing to the jaw.
Amby took the count, and at the finish
was very tired.
