Fouling Of the Valkyrie and the
Defender.
CAPT. HAFP VERY MUCH WROUGHT UP
Declares That Capt. Cranfield Be-
came Ratified.
MIR. ELM RETICEN T

The fouling of Valkyrie and Defender at
the staff in yesterdays race was the fea-
ture of the contest, and is ascribed by
many as the cause of Defenders defeat
To describe the accident briefly, in maneu-
vering for the start the Valkyrie's steel
boom caught the Defenders forerigging
just as the boats were about to break
away across the line for the windward
beat of the triangle, and the backstay of
the topmast was carried away. The pres
sure and strain resulting caused the jib
topsail sheet to part and the topmast to
become Sprung" and it was only by quick
work in taking the strong wind out of the
club topsail that the topmast was saved
at all. The jaws of the starboard spreader
were also carried away. The Defender at
once claimed a foul on the part Of the
Valkyrie and raised a flag Of protest. The
yacht continued In the race, however, and
last right the regatta committee consid-
cred the arguments and merits of the case.
The Protest Filed.
After Defender had come to anchor off
Bay Ridge last night, Mr.. Iselin, the head
of the Defender syndicate. went aboard
the committee boat, where he possibly filed

for the Americas cup between Defender
and Valkyrie III, by which Defender was
crippled just before the start yesterday,
was the general topic of conversation to-
day among yachtSmen, at the hotels, in
the trains and in the streets. Scores of
people called at the New York Yacht Club
house on Madison avenue to inquire about
the decision of the committee on Defend
er's protest, and all were told that the re-
gatta committee were discussing the mat
ter and that no decision would be render
ed until evening, owing to the impossible
ity of hearing witnesses as early as the
committee would like.
Defender and Valkyrie were towed to the
Erie basin early this morning, and the
sailors on each went to work scrubbing
the shining underbodies as fast as the
water receded.
Defenders injured spar was taken out at
the south end of the dock where she lay,
and force of men at once got to work to
fit another topmast. The one damaged
yesterday was seen to have a great section
split off at the point where the topsail
strained it. This was just clear Of

Cares More for the Money in the Fight
Than The Championship.
CHICAGO, September 1.-THE Inter
Ocean this morning prints story in which
1t is said that Fitzsimmons declared that
he will refuse to meet Champion Corbett
in Dallas unless he Is 'let in en- certain
concessions on which ne believes a large
sum of money will be realized. It is said
that he accuses Brady, Corbett, Joe Vendig
and Stewart Of Dallas with gobbling up
everything in sight, from the lemonade
stand to- the kinetcscope, with which 1t is
intended 20 reproduce the fight throughout
the country. The latter concession Bob is
especially jealous of, and 1t is said that he
has made formal demand for a percent
age of the profits on it. otherwise he de-
clares there will be no fight.

similar event in this vicinity. The first was
a twenty-round affair between those old
time rivals, Tody Banks and Aleck Brown,
and was intended as a settlement Of the
much disputed question as to which is the
better man from a pugilistic standpoint.
This result was not accomplished, how
ever, inasmuch as, after they had slugged
and punched each other with. varying sue
cess for twenty rounds Of the hardest KIN
that there was SO little difference in the
work Of the two men that he was COM
PEELED to declare the fight a draw, a de-
cision that met with general approval on
the part Of every one except Banks. who
vigorously protested that he had not been
fairly treated.
The next fight was between two imported
welter weights, Jack Hanley of 2hiladel-
phia and Frank Wongo of Norfolk known
as 1.-The Indian" 1t was the finest exhibit
ton Of all-around scientific fighting that
has ever been witnessed in this city, and 1t
is seldom that two such clever, plucky
fighters come together in the ring. They
were scheduled to box twenty-five rounds,
tut the bout did not last quite that long,
Wongo giving up ut the close of the
twenty-third round on the ground that his
wrist was broken.
Hanley is a hard and skillful fighter, and
was in tiptop condition. He set rapid
pace and forced the fighting throughout.
but frequently had good cause to regret
his ambitious designs to settle the affair
with grand rush and series of blows.
Wongo showed great skill and wonderful
recuperatfve powers. His defense was al
most perfect, and his strong, quick coun-
ters were very damaging in their effect.
The sympathy of the crowd was with him
because of his plucky uphill fight and gave
him frequent shouts of encouragement.
Several times during the engagement he
nearly succumbed to the rapid shower of
trip-hammer blows received on body and
head, but freshened up remarkably under
the skillful treatment of his handlers, AMI
always returned to the scratch in good
shape. He had received only five days no.
tice of the fight. and had not had sufficient
time to get into proper condition. Other
wise. In the opinion Of many spectators. 1t
is not likely that Hanley would have been
able to make him quit.
AS 1t was, Hanley had clearly the best of
the fight, and was justly entitled to the de-
cision.
During the evening it was announced
that matches had been arranged between
Hanley and Jack Daily of Wilmington, be-
tween John Henry Bronson of Philadelphia
and Howard Wilson of this city, and be-
tween Joe Bateman and Tody Banks, both
