ANOTHER RACE FOR
AMERICA CUP

1t begins to look as if we were to
have another international yacht race
in 1905. Sir Thomas Upton is seri-
ously considering the building of a
new boat. and another British yachts
man, ]. p. Coates. stands ready to

son only consented to draw up the.
plans for Shamrock II after being d.
rected to do so by King Edward, then
Prince of Wales After three Sham
rocks had tried and failed. it was gen
orally believed that there would be
considerable letup in British endeav-
ors to lift the cup but such is not
the case. There are still number
of millionaire subjects Of King Ed.
ward who are Willing to spend for,
tunes in trying to regain the .blue rib

say that there are Just as many Amer

to say that they are not successful. In
1903 there We're numerous stories IN.
circulation about members of the New
York Yacht club having tired of being
forced to continually go down in their
pockets to defend the cup. Of course,
only very few men have constituted
themselves n committee to do 30, and.
despite unpleasant murmurings. they
will go nobly to the scratch when the
next challenge arrives. So great is

KELLY IS CHAMPION.
Irishman Scores Over American
Crack Athletes at St. Louis.

st Louis, july 6.--Thomas Kiely of
Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland. won the all
round A. A. A. championship of Amer
lea at the Stadium Monday afternoon
by score of 6,O86 points. Adam
Gum. Buffalo, n. Y, Y. NJ G. A.. was
second with 5,907 points; Truxton
Hare, University Of Pennsylvania,
5,S13 points, third: John Holloway,
Greater New York Irish A. c., 5,2T3
points, fourth.
The championships were run off in
veritable delusge Of rain. The track
was in good shape till O'Clock, the
games starting at o'clock. The re-
suit was a surprise to many of the
Americans present, who thought that
Gum would carry away the title.
Kiely's work is equal to the best
ever seen in an American contest of
this nature. Clark scored 6,31SA
points when he won the championship
last year, and Gum scored 6,26O7s
points when he annexed the title in
1902.
Kiely won four firsts and tied for
another. He showed superior form
in the weights, winning the hammer
and 56-pound weight. Gum won the
shot-put.
The best contested event of the day
was the half mile walk Kie1y showed
strongly in this event and tied Hollo-
way for first place, Clark being third.
Gum fought hard to land the prize,
but Kiely's superiority was manifest
and he clearly deserved to win.

THE LAST SURVIVOR.

That was pathetic scene at Paris,
III last Friday, when the last survivor
of a command which took part in the
Mexican war went alone to the fair
grounds where he had met his COM
rades for forty years, called the roll
to which there We're no responses, and
spent thes remainder of the day in
solitary meditation. The time is not
so far distant when a veteran of the
civil war may do the same. The REM
nant of the Federal armies which as
sembled at Washington for their last
parade is dwindling rapidly, and with
each year the death rate increases SO
rapidly that the last survivor has not
now long to wait for the melancholy
and transient honor of having travel
ed a little further along the bridge of
Mirzais vision than his fellows. It is
to be hoped that his honors will not
be dimmed by his having made mer-
ehandise of his patriotism and been a
pensioneis spelm lusty manhood to de-
cripit old gss.-New York Times.

THE PUGILISTS.
BAD FOR
ENGLAND
American Fighter Just Re-
turned, Says Americans
are Given a Raw Deal
Other FIGHT News.

If what Jimmy Walsh Of Boston
says is true, American pugilists are
having hard time of it in England
just now. Walsh arrived from London
yesterday. He recently fought Digger
Stanley, the well known English ban
tam, twice, and on each occasion, ac-
cording to the cabled reports Of the
mill, got the worst of the verdict.
Walsh is sore over his reception abroad
and among other things said: "Pugil-
ism In England is on the wane.
would advise any American pugilist to
steer clear of England at present. AS
you know already I was robbed twice
in my contests with Digger Stanley.
No matter how hard I tried to win,
could not, because the clique that runs
the boxing game over there won't let
you. Several gamblers have got con-
troll of the sport and they are running
1t to suit themselves. They admit that
we hold the palm as far as fighting is
concerned, but the decisions are cooked
up beforehand. Unless you knock
your man dead you cannot win. You
have got to knock him out clean and
for long time to get first money, It
you don't they viii give your opponents
out. In this country could whip fell
lows of Stan1ey's stamp three times
nightly in the same ring; but in Eng
land, with the influence behind him,
there is no chance of whipping him, IN
less, as I have said. YOU put him away

1IMMY RRITT TALKS.

If Young Corbett makes good his de-
termination to fight Terry AIcGovern
or some other pugilist before he meets
Jimmy Britt, the latter will refuse to
fight him for long time to come.
Britt who is in st Louis, is much
yexed over the cancellation of his con-
test with Corbett by the latter, and has
this to say:
"Corbett will have to wait a mighty
long time before I sign articles with
him again. After I whipped him fairly
and squareIy at San Francisco he made
a holler that he was robbed, etc. I con-
clllded to give him a return match In
stead of appreciating it, he deliberate
IL turns around and calls things off.
I'll admit that December is too long a
time to wait, but I was ready to face
him before that if we could find a suit
able place. San Francisco seems to be
the hest spot for me, and December is
the best month because at that time
the racing season would be in sway
and we could draw plenty of money.
"This is not the first time Corbett has
broken m agreement with me. When
we were signed to fight the first time
in San Francisco he turned around and
took on Dave Sullivan before facing
me although he faithfully promised
not to box any one until he met me.
Corbett is an eccentric fellow and does
NOT know his own mind from one min.
ute to another. But he can't bulldoze
me. and I'll give him a lesson by max
ing him wait until he grows weary"

EIGHT ROUND DRAW.

The eight round bout between Jim
my Briggs of boston and Chester
Goodwin proved to be a great drawing
card at Adams, Mass, on Monday af-
teFnoon. The contest was held in For
est park and was one of the features
of the annual field day Of the Berlk-
shire county Foresters of America,
fully 5000 persons being present.
Briggs and Goodwin were in fine trim,
and although the mill ended in a draw
the battle, was one of the best. seen in
Adams in long time. Briggs Went
after Goodwin from the start, but the
latter had a fine guard and stopped all
of Briggs's rushes. Most of the lat
ter's smashes were directed for Good
wins stomach, but Briggs failed to con-
meet. Then he tried swinging and man
aged to land a few blows, but they
were on the neck. Goodwin, however.
scored by jabbing Briggs with the left
and in the sixth had Briggs clinching.
In the final two rounds Briggs more
than evened matters and the decision,
under the circumstances. was the best
that could nave been rendered.
