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.

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.

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.

Siler clalme that hie reputation wae damaged to that amount by the phargee mada by Nalaon and Manager Billy Nolan after the fight Nolan claimed that Nelson Wae “job bed.” He eeid that Siler wae paid to throw the fight against him. Tho loser said also that Siler was not looking when the blow was atruek which ended the fight. Looki as though if 8ilor can prove he had a reputation worth $50,000 he has a chance to recover.

Last year the senior league was made up of teams from Y. M- C. A., Tech, Atlanta Athletic Club and Fort McPherson, and the Junior league of teams from High School, Peacock, G. M. A., nnd Y. M. C. A. 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 sured. Indoor'baseball will again be one of the Y. M. C. A. features, nnd It Is not linprob- ftblo that n league of Indoor baseball teams will be organized. This matter will be re dded In the future. Altogether the prospects for a busy and helpful season In the physical department of the local Y. M. C. A. are bright. 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 Birmingham. lie worked the old "saw" about enrlug nothing for criticism, lie practically Informed the reporter that noth ing a newspaper man could any would hurt hla spotless character. He admitted giv ing out the Interview to Percy Whiting over lu Little Hock.—Birmingham Ledger. 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 have played in exceptional luck in not bnv- iug tu«‘U laid up during the senson. No team has suffered less by this great bugit- !hk> of baseball than the Chicago Nation als. While great rredlt must he given to Charles W. Murphy for hi* enterprise and Frank Cluinee for his leadership, they themselves owe a great deal to our modest hut long haired friend Frank G. Selee, who built the team up and started them on the championship path. When you look the records over, our friend Selee has some thing on about nny manager there is lu the business His record Is unsurpassed.— Bosttin Journal. While Manager Frank Is not disposed to talk of the New Orleans club’s plaits for next year. It Is apparent that the local association will go out after n |M*nuant winner. The heat of this year’s race has l»oltcd the blood of the l«»ea* owner*, nnd 1 more than once this season they hsve I made the ussertlou that the Pelican* would not give way to nny team next Manager Frank’s policy has always been liberal to n great degree, and ns ho has. been the tnrgct of many of the league's arrow’s this season. It Is Iwdleved that he Is planning a real lively senson for New Orleans In 19u7. President Stern Is In fnvor of a pen nant winner ut nil hazards, nnd so Is Sec- retnry Helneiustui, who looks after the gate receipts. Then whot more do the fans want? By Just a simple piece of mental de duction it seems n sure thing that the ting will fly from the long pole erected at Athletic park for the penuunt the 1906 Pelicans captured.—New Orleans Item. Glen-Llehhnrdt, the Iron mnlnstny of the Mcinphll slab, left for bis home in Indian' npolla last night. He will rest for a few day* before reporting to the Cleveland club.

Few fans have stopped to ponder over the remarkable rec- ile by Nleholls, who Will report to the Philadelphia Amegrans as soon ns his ailing limb will permit. The Maryland ouder played In expry game during tin. moon. He not only failed to miss n sin gle exhibition during the nnte-aeason skir mishes, but played through every Inning ery game lu which the Memphll faced uerny, whether In dress parade or war paint, which means »hnt every contest for for the championship was chronicled with Simon Bolivar’s surname tabbed In words. Strange to relate, he built the Intlon for subsequent reputation which led to the sale of his services to Phlhi- lclptita during his debut In the springtime, which witnessed him grabbing grounders Tore. there .and almost everywhere In a ■lash with the Pennsylvanians. Manager Mack was not present during the affair, but his followers went hack to the north told of the marvelous running, field an-i smashing lowers of Nick, and his followed a visit made by Manager L to Memphis for the especial purpose.

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 the cup's defender. for th i lr\ wlck CU P- next eight for the second flight cup and third eight for the third Right cup. or Match rounds will be started Satur. day % and will be continued until ths tournament Is over.

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. BRIGGS IS WALLOPED. Baltimore, Md„ Sept. 21.—Jimmy Briggs, of Boston, received an awful beating last night at the hands of Kid Sullivan, of Washington, D. C„ before the Eureka Athletic Club.
