WHITING Michigan Sidesteps Vandy to Rest Up For Old Penn. Nashville, Tenn.. Sept. 21.—The great team of the University of Michigan finds it undesirable to tackle the South ern 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 that the Opmmodores will be able to secure some other date with Michigan, but in case they cannot, it Is likely that the 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 Catch Weights Sam M. Wood, of Macon, Ga., who put up a loud howl because Jack Foy, 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 u soak, under Queens'- bery rules, at Foy’a nose; and now that Foy has come across with a challenge to fight, Wood deftly sidesteps and tries I instead to match Foy with Joe Hoe. j Wood’s excuse for not meeting Foy is that he cannot make weight of less than 158 pounds. Rather than pass up a chance 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 the local scrapper. Wood is anxious to match Foy against Joe Roe, of Anniston, for a bout on October 11. Roe can make 150 pounds, which is Foy’s weight, and the scrap might be a good one. Rut before it Is fought Foy wdnts either to meet Wood or to call his bluff und force a allow down. SILER SUES.

Realising the value of winning such an event the latter took up the mutter in earueat this year and have expended $350,000 in building special curs for the race, hast year a large percentage of those entered were atock cars, stripped and prepared for the race. This year ft Is different, and It is confidently beJieved by Americans that one result of the mouths of experiment urn! I preparation will lie a surprise purty for the foreign ears. Following tiie precedent set In 1904 and 1906, the commission has selected n course ' for the third running of the rnee that dif fers markedly from Its predecessor. There Is a divergence of opinion as to whether the new course Is faster or slower than the old one, also as to whether It Is less dangerous or more so. The new course Is ns follows: Beginning at tin* intersection of Jericho lurnpJke and Mlneoln avenue, easterly through Jericho and East Norwich road to East Norwich at McQueen’s; then easterly ' along the Flushing and North Hempstead j turnpike to Hulls Head comer i»t Green- vale; then southerly over the buck road, po called, to old Westbury; then westerly to Mlnoola road; then northerly to the Flushing and North Hempstead turnpike; then westerly over this road through the village of Manhasset to the function of the l4tkevllle road; then southerly to Lakeville; then easterly to Hearlngtown; then south erly over Mlueola avenue road to the start ing point This route has eleven corners, ns com pared with seven last ye will not off Mscr number o turn that Is This In known located at the Jute such dim year ago. •gitriled ns tfc tlon that nil el gers as did tin Then* In hut « really danger* "hairpin turn, tlon of the back road with the old \V bury toad, at Old Westbury.

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, 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 1s understood that Sir Thomaa 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 allow something like fifteen minutes over tho cup course. This she would be unable to do and Constitution would be more available under the circum stances. ThlH fact would probably cause a hitch in the negotiations, ns 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 the°thlrd flight *<mp° n<1 ,Wrd el * ht f '>' Match rounds will be started Satur. day and will be continued until th« tournament Is over.

S * pt *1—Willie Fitzgerald, bf Brooklyn, made Amby McGary, 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- Qarey 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 bell saved Amby as he broke from a clinch and tottered to his corner. Fitzgerald In the fifth received nno hard right swing from McGarey on the side of the face that gave the McGarev rooters hope»..but after that Fltz took no chances. In the sixth Fitzgerald 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. The con test was scheduled to fifteen rounds, but in the ninth round, after Briggs had been sent to the fleer three times. Steve Mahoney threw up the sponge to save his man from a knockout.
