NOT AS FAST AS USUAL.
Shamrock Takes a Spin Without
 Club Topsail.


 Club Topsail
 New York, Sept I1.AOn account of the light southeasterly breeze which prevailed, and the fact that she went out without club topsail, the Sham rock II did not show as much speed as usual yesterday. It was her tenth trial spin and it was sailed in smooth water, and under cloudy sky, that threaten ed rain during the last half hour that the yacht was out. She covered about sixteen miles in two and a half hours, half of which was windward work and in this she covered one and one-eighth miles in twelve minutes against the tide in Gedneys channel.
 After the spin, Sir Thomas LiptOn, when seen on board the Erin said: "We should have stayed out longer to- day, but we did not want to getsour sails wet just now. We shall sail on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and on Sunday morning the yacht will be put in the drydock. She will remain there until Thursday, when, both yachts are to be measured" M
 Sir Thomas had as his guests on the Erin ex-Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle.

Bristol, R. l., Sept 1.-The cup de- fender Columbia came up the bay in tow from Newport yesterday, drop ping her anchor at 6 o'clock off the boat shops. The craft was brought here to receive light racing gear for the cup contests off Sandy Hook. At the time of her arrival Columbia had no mainsail bent Nearly all her oth- CT canvas is being refitted. Little was done on board this morning beyond the overhauling of some of the lighter sails. The craft will be fitted out here. Her mainsail will be bent by Thurs day, when she will proceed to New York for docking and also for some finishing touches before she goes out for the first race, a week from Satur- day.
 Constitution still remains anchored in her berth. The topmast has not been lowered and this morning Cap tain Rhodes had one of the mainsails, which was on board the Mount Nor ris, taken to the yacht and partly bent. This was for the purpose of drying out the big canvas. It was hoisted up to the full length and allowed to remain set for several hours, when 1t was lowered The other mainsail also will be dried before being taken to the storage loft. It has not been an nounced on what day Constitution Will be taken to New London.

MICHAEL WON AT HARTFORD.
Before Large Audience He Defeated
 Albert Champion.


 Hartford, Sept 11.-Ats the velodrome last evening an audience of. about 2000 saw Jimmy Michael defeat Albert Champion in motor-paced bicycle face of twenty miles, ill the fast time of 33 minutes 14 3-5 seconds. The race was very pretty contest and while Michael led from the start he defeated his antagonist by. only two laps and a third. or considerable less than half a mile in the twenty. The victory was a popular one Michael rode a Colum- bia wheel and his motor was ridden by Crooks of Buffalo and Ruel of Bos- ton. Champions motor was ridden by Kent and Gately of Boston. The race was run without accident to motors or riders. At the pistol shot Michael at once went into the lead. He began to draw away without apparent effort and at the end of the third mile led by half a lap. At the end of the fourth mile he was in the homestretch along with Champion and passed him for the first time in the first lap of the fifth mile. Michael still continued to gain but gradually and it was not until the fourth lap of the twelfth mile that he was again able to pass Champion. From this point in the race Michael was able to make but little gain. Champion spurted several times and drew slightly upon tie flying leader, but he could not materially reduce the lead which had been taken from him in the earlier part of the race. At the seventeenth mile the contest settled down to an effort on MichaePs part to increase his lead and if possible to again lap Champion. He set terrific .nace. to which Chamnfon gamely re spondeu, and the time will show, some fast riding N done during the last miles of the raes. Both riders were heartily applauded at the finish.
 Of the other two races onA A.he pro- gram, two-thirds mile handicap al-s a five-mile open. both went to Joseph $. Fulton, the promising rider of Spring field.

Patsy Corrigan Withdrawn From the
 Fight in Middletown.

AIiddletown Sept 1.-The first of 2
 series of athletic bouts. to be given
 under the auspices of the Sampson
 Athletic club of New York city, came
 off in the McDonough theater last
 night. The attendance was very small Willis of New Britain refereed the pre-
 liminary contest of ten rounds between
 Kid Green and Kid Conlin bon of
 Hartford. at eaten weighs. The un- derstelulilg was that they were to fight
 win q clean break. Conlin was the more skllful boxer. but Green forced the fighting. 1t was the best prelimi- nary contest ever seen here. A de- cision of a draw gave general satis- faction.
 Bruce of New York was referee in the star bout, as Jimmy Handler, one of the fighters, was to appear ill New Britain on the Both. The fight was be- tween Handler. who comes from New ark, N. J., and Patsy Corrigan of Brooklyn, at 130 pounds. There was il side bet of S10 each. The first round was all Handlers In the second Cor rigan saved himself by clinch several times. His seconds entered the ring lOOh lO ulS COIAcIS p1C- vented a knockout. His manager claimed Handler hit him below the belt. Bruce refused to all foul and gave Handler the fight. Ike Stone, Handlers manager announced that he would allow Corrigan two hours to re- cuperate leaving the side bet still post ed if Corrigan would meet Handler at the expiration of that time. This Cor rigan's manager refused to do.
 It was recently reported that rich oil discoveries had been made on property in California owned by Champion Jeff ries, and he was rolling in wealth. As he has failed to put up $2,500 forfeit, there must be some mistake about the oil wells.
 Jack Roberts will have another fight with Will Curley before coming to America to met McGovern. The Brit ons have been matched for the s9-stone championship and S9200 side, fixed to come off on Monday. September 30. Roberts has once beaten Curley, and should repeat the trick.

 Frank H. Croker offered $50 yester- day for locomotive to carry him to the golf links at Northfield, N. J., so that he could compete in the tourna- ment there, but the railroad officials claimed they. could not spare the en- zine. .4
 He reached the station at Atlantic City half a minute late, and rushing to the station master asked for spe- cial train.
 ''We haven't any," replied the aston ished railroad man.
 "Well, will give $50 if you get me an engine to take me six miles"
 Cant do it, sir, for we only have one more locomotive hahdy, and if we hired it outsit would put the railroad out of business"
 MT Croker then had to give up hope of competing for the championship.

sPRAKER IS ELIGIBLE.

The story that J. S. Spraker, YaIe's foremost jumper, is to be disqualified for entrance for the international meet by reasons of his low scholarship seems to have little foundation in fact. Captain Sheldon of the track team said last evening when, asked about the matter that he had heard nothing of 1t. He declared that he had seen a list of conditioned men in the law school and that Spraker's name was not included among the number. He declared, furthermore, that if SpraKer was eligible last spring-as he was he is now, and later conditions could not have the effect of keeping him out of the meet. Captain Sheldon ex- pressed entire disbelief in the story. Spraker will reach here to-day and begin work. All the Yale track men who are in training preparatory for the International meeting were, with one exception, at work on the track yesterday afternoon. The sone excep- ton is Spraker. Boardman reached here yesterday afternoon. The men now at work are Hargrave, 100 yards dash; Hunter, half mile; Boardman, quarter mile: Franchot, one half and one mile; WarGron, one, mile; Feel, two miles; Clapp, hurdles, and Shel- don, shammer No time or distance are to be taken this week.

AMERICANS HANDICAPPED.
Unless Students Pick Up in Lessons
 Englishmen May Win Events.

Unless Students Pick Up in Lessons
 Englishmen May Win Events. New Haven, Sept 11.--Unless J. 5. 1 Spraker, one of the prominent mem bers of the Yale track team, manages to ..lsar himself Of conIdit ittn3s brought on last spring. the American team,- made up of Yale and Harvard stu dents, will have very little chance of winning in the international meet against Oxford and Cambridge. It was definitely learned last night that Spraker, who is law school first year man, is SO heavily behind in his work that it will be only by the greatest ef- forts if he manages to enter Yale again this fall.
 He takes his examinations next week, but is heavily conditioned. Un- less he passes them he will be dropped. The loss of Spraker will virtually mean the defeat of the American team be- fore it enters the lists with the Eng lishmen. 7i Neis
 As mapped out by Yale experts the Americans are Lcertain (with Spraker). of four of the nine events, and proba-. ply one more, winning the meet to 4. Yale and, Harvard count on the quar- ter mile, the hurdles, the hammer throw and the high and broad jumps, both of which last Spraker must take, as he is the best American entered
 With Spraker out. Harvard has no man who can touch the, English figures on either of the jumps, and England would take the two and win the meet. Spraker must be a competitor if Yale and Harvard are to win. There was intense disappointment at Yale last night over the news regarding Spra- ker. A strong effort will be made by Yale men to get Spraker through, but even then his training will have been postponed to a dangerously late date.
