VIII Ee Built to Defend the Cup.

oliver Iselin Says Faster Boat
NEW ROCHELLE, Aug. &C. Oliver Ise-
lin, who was the managing director of the
Defender N the last series of races for the
Americas cup, says that all yachtsmen in
this country rejoice with the members Of the
New York Yacht club on the prospect of an
other contest for the cup, and when Sir
Thomas Upton arrives here with his new
cutter he will find American yachtsmen ready
During the past three years." said Mr.
Iselin American yachtsmen have not been
idle. and although the challenge was some
what unexpected at this time, we have not
been caught mapping For several months we
have been considering the plans for a new
9O-footer that would prove still faster than
the Defender. Those plans are finished and
in the hands Of Nat Herreshoff although as
a matter of course nothing has been done
toward the construction of the new craft
Designer 'Herreshon guarantees that the new

Mr. Iselin declined to give further particu-

whether it was vcertain that Q new boat

jackson. Then 1t was announced that
Corbett would fight jackson in no place
but Sioux City, To-, when it was a
notorious fact that to attempt to fight
in that state meant prompt and severe
punishment Of those who made the
attempt Now, the reason why Cor
bett will not meet Sharkey is not be-
cause the sailor is q beaten man, but
because Corbett, who is also beaten
man, is afraid of Sharkey. The sailor
gave Corbett q hiding out in San Fran
cisco that the man who once proudly
sported a pompadour will never forget.
The burned child breads the fire. And
Corbett is as much afraid Of Sharkey
as is an unruly infant of the mythical
"bogie man."
CORBETTS FALSE REPUTATION.
The fact of the matter Is that Cor
bett posed for years on laurels won
from the only John L. Sullivan. Skill
fully handled by Billy Brady, Corbett
kept clear of the reefs that beset the
voyage of the average boxer and when
challenged by dangerous man he
would invariably say: Go thou and
make for myself a reputation. You are
not in my GLASS; This saved him from
defeat for time, but the public finally
wearied of the deception, and Corbett
was practically forced into fight with
Bob Fitzsimmons and whipped. Then
he announced his retirement from the
ring. Now he has re.entered the arena,
and it appears is determined to return
to the old dodge-deceit and talk-re-
fusing to meet the men the public think
his equal, and picking up matches that
bear upon their face the imprint Of
suspicion, If nothing worse.

League Fight.
The week just closed was one of unexpected
excitement in the Western league At the
end of last week Indianapolis was travelling
so we'll that it was not believed any team
in the league could overtake it. Then sudden
ly shifting of the scenes brought four teams
almost UP abreast. Minneapolis beat the
Indians on Monday and then St. Paul turned
to and beat them three straight, Milwaukee
and Kansas City in the meantime pulling
right up in line with steady victories The
unexpected reverses Of st. Paul and Milwau-
kee yesterday widened little the small gap
between them and the two leaders. but
there is still a chance for any one of the
four to win the bunting, with a fighting
chance for Columbus, also
Both st. Paul and Kansas City will soon
be handicapped with long trips away from
home, and both will no doubt drop consid-
erably in percentage. All the season St. Paul
has been VIGOROUSLY bad traveller, and
repetition Of its work on its two former trips
will, of course put it out of the flag hunt,
but its friends hope it will take brace this
time and get at least an even break. Indian
apolis plays most of its games for the re-
mainder of this month at home, and is not
likely to surrender the lead. If at all, for
will hammer away at home pretty steadily
for the next three weeks. The chances Of
the Brewers, however, are not particularly
good, as they have only forty-three games
yet to play, large bunch of which are with
Indianapolis, Columbus and Kansas CITY.

The wind failed completely at White
Bear yesterday, and the signal craft
Ina, under a full head of steam, was
compelled to tow a long, string OF
yachts to their private dock in front OF
Ramaley's.
1t was expected that the twenty
footers would just about decide be-

the race was of such an unsatisfa ctory
nature that nothing was decided fur

The starters In the seventeen-foot
class were the Goblin and Xenia. The
big fellows lined up as follows, crossing
the line at 3;25: Mahto, Yankee, Weird

AS in all the light wind races, all the
boats remained close together through
out the race. The Weirdling had a lit
tie the best of the contest as long as
the wind lasted. and demonstrated to
the satisfaction Of her owners her light
weather qualities. The White Bear
yachts are with little exception better

Douglas Is equally confident of the
speed of his boat In a stiff breeze.
Capt. Drake sailed the Goblin to an
lima ginary victory, and the three cat
boats, known as the twenty-one-foot-
ers, were within boats length Of each
other when, Commodore Morton called
the race off, just after the center buoy
had been rounded.
The race will be sailed off late this
month on one of the open dates.

BUFFALO, Aug. 6.-Ground was broken
Tuesday for the club house where James j.
Corbett and Kid Mccoy will meet Sept 10
for q tweTty-round contest The location was
shifted last week from one end of the town
of Cheektowaga to the other, and the ten
acre lot leased by the Hawthorne Athletic
club lies at The Forks, close to the lines of
the New York Central and the Erie railways
and easy of access by electric cars.
Plans for the club house have been changed
several times. AS finally approved and placed
In the hands Of the builder the plans call
for a square structure 200 feet each way. The
outer walls will be twenty-four feet high
The building will not be covered with root
except over the quarters for the contestants.
The promoters say that the location of the
picture-taking machine has not been fixed.

Jeffries met Rubin? A draw. And
what did Sharkey do with Rubin?
Beat him in a round. And yet Consl-
dine, representing Corbett, has the SUI

that Corbett declines a match with the
sailor is because of the Jeffries defeat!

way of meteorological revelation.
Denzer and Fricken will be the st. Paul

These are the last games here until the

Boxing Is not as popular as 1t once

hrst time he comes to town, Just for
the novelty Of 1t, but he calls the no.
lice on the second attempt to impose
upon his verdancy. And so it is with
uhe public In ring matters. Boxing is
~ d1sfaVor because the promoters Of
It and the men who engage in the game
punco" the public too often. When
James J. Corbett became champion by
grace OF having won from John l.. Sui

the Fhli1stines Of the sport, and is to-

Coy in their bout at Buffalo next
month. The veteran authority 10y
on boxing says Corbett made a mistake
In conceding to Mccoy the privilege to
say that there shall be no hitting in
the clinches. Mccormick writes INC
COY would not agree to meet either
1oToets or F1tzsimmons under the Mar
quis OF Queensberry rules" And the
claim is therefore made by this crit
lque' OF boxing that the MARQUIS of
Queensberry rules provide for hitting In
the clinches." That is nothing less
than an attempt to deceive the public.
The rules drafted by the Marquis of
eCeensberry expressly stipulate that
there shall be no hitting in the
clinches.
TO PREVENT "ROUGHING."
The rules that are known as MAR
quis Of Queensberry" were drafted by
that patron for the sole purpose of pre-
venting "roughing'' in ring encounters.
All the big battles that were fought
previous to the coming together Of
Corbett and Fitzsimmons with the
gloves were settled by science and not
by "roughing." The Queensberry rules
We're changed by George Siler. He was
the first referee to decide that the prin

permitted to hit while in a clinch. There
was no time for demonstration of

met. The attempt Of Mccormick 10

for a concession as to the rules is for
the sole purpose of boosting Corbett
and buncoing the public The Queens
berry rules do not permit hitting in the

should be given credit with knowing
