Tom Tracy Arrives From Portland.

Tom Tracy, bearded as the welter-
weight champion Of Australia and who
IS scheduled to meet Nose LaFontise,
Saturday night at the Park Street saucer
arena, before the Saucer Track club, ar
rived from Portland yesterday. He APP
pears in good condition, says he has
been training faithfully. and promises to
give good account of himself. If Tracy
shows any of the form he did when he
met such men as kid Lavigne "Mys-
ferrous Billy" Smith and Joe Walcott he
should certainly be able to deliver the
goods against LaFontise. Nose declares
however, that he has no fear for the
Antipodean and promises to show that
he has more stuff in him, than he is
given credit for. 1t was originally in
tended that the bout should take place
Monday night, but owing to the fact that
Tracy is compelled to return to Portland,
for an engagement that night, it was
necessary to change the date to Saturday
night. The earlier date was perfectly
satisfactory to LaFontise, who says his
condition is such that he could get ready
to go on tonight If necessary. The bout
will be twenty rounds to a decision.

BEHAVES WELL IN LIGHT AIR
Yacht Easily Covers a Distance Of
Thirty Miles in Four Hours
Carried Same Sail as on
Tuesday.
(By Associated Press.)


New York. Aug. 29.-The fourth tria,
spin of the Shamrock II. in these waters
was sailed yesterday and was not at
tended with any exciting Incidents. The
yacht did not so outside Sandy Hook, as
expected, but sailed from Southwest Spit
buoy to staten island twice, covering q
distance of about 30 miles in four hours.
Sir Thomas Upton was not ON board. nor
was Designer Watson.
Inc yachts mainsail was hoisted at
1O:4O and at 10 minutes later the same
club topsail that was set Tuesday went
up The wind was light from the south,
east at this time and when the yacht
filled away and headed for the Southwest
Spit buoy she was travelling at six knot
gait.
AS she entered the channel Captain
Sycamore headed her straight for Staten
island. giving her good full. The steam
yacht Erin. meanwhile. had taken on
board number Of the members Of the
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, who had
been brought to Sandy Hook by the po-
lice boat Patriot. At Atlantic Highlands
she picked up some others who had come
down on the Sandy Hook boats and she
now followed the Shamrock up the cham
mel to the northward. Every passing
steamer saluted the yacht as she sailed
at almost steamboat speed up the bay.
From Coney Island point down to the
Southwest Spit 1t was a long stretch
Shamrock was able to lay her course
easily in the smooth water and she
passed the buoy at 1859. She had COW
cred the first half in hour and Is MINI
utes against strong tide and the Sec
ond half in just so minutes. This was
considered by the experts to be very
good.
After bit of maneuvering Captain
Sycamore jibed her and started back
over the same course with somewhat
lighter breeze and with exactly the
same sail that the yacht had carried in
yesterdays spin.Th time she only went
to Craven Shoal buoy, about mile OUT
side the narrows, and then turning
around she made another long stretch
on the port track to the spit buoy. where
she quit for the day.

An Answer for Jerry Mccarthy.

Jack Wade denies that he has been
evading a match with Jerry Mccarthy
for any other reason than that he does
not think the "Walkerville Pet" has a
just claim to a go. Wade says he Is per-
fectly willing to meet Mccarthy under
certain conditions, which are stated in
the following:
Sporting Editor, Inter Mountain
Having noticed Jerry McCarthy's letter.
in your issue of Wednesday. wish to
state that If Mccarthy can show where
he has won. or done anything in the
boxing line to entitle him to boxing
match with me, ahead Of Patsy Sullivan
and other far more popular popular
lightweights than himself, and can cover
a reasonable side bet, l will give him a
chance. In my opinion Mccarthy has
not an honest. bona fide winning to his
credit. Therefore in protection to the
sport-loving public I would rather wait
in order to give Jerry a chance to show
whether he can box or not.
