 American Yacht Wins.

8aled by A. Hannah of New York.
 American Yacht Wins. ''TORONTO,g Ont, Aug. 12-The dis satisfaction evinced over the man ner in which the American challenger for the Canada cup had been sailed in the first two races led to the summon fng from New York of Mr. A. Hannah to take charge of the Irondequoit.
 Mfr. Hannah went aboard the yacht, and the Irondequoit turned the tables on the Strathcona. He was in full command. Skipper James Barr acted as helmsman.
 All conditions favored her-a course with fourteen miles of reaching in it and plenty of wind never less than twelve miles an hour. It surprised no one that the American boat should show the way to the first buoy. After her performance in reach on Satur- day it seemed the most natural thing in the world that she should draw away from the Strathcona. Skipper Jarvis carried every possible sail and over hauled Irondequoit just trifle, but he was at least three-quarters of mile astern at the finish.
 .
 The official times were as follows: Irondequoit, start, 11:00:18; finish, 2:15:O5. Strathcona, start, 11:00:35; fin< ish, 2:20:19.

Short ly after the field broke Fitzkanet, the heavily played favorite, was cut down, and Miss Mae Day, played by many to win the event, was thrown out of her stride. Croix dor and Malster were out in front running as team. Con- ing into the stretch Miss Mae Day was fifth She passed Malster, but could not catch Croix dor, who won by length. ..----.,--

AND THEN ANOTHER.

San Francisco, Aug 12.--James J. Corbett yesterday was examiped by Dr Clarence E. TiIlman, the official physi- elan of the Yosemite A. c. After the examination Corbett was pronounced in perfect health. In his report the doctor says: Realizing the benefits of physical power in combination with his marvellous speed, Corbett has worked to that end with studied care. By a system of exercise he has devel- oped the muscular force required to sustain him in the struggle for the championship with his giant opponent" :"
 Yesterday Corbett took a jaunt on the road and practiced with the gloves in algymnasium. al He is in perfect con- dition and knows it. but is not willing to take chance on going back in his preparation by taking an i'll advised rest. Like Jeffries, he varies his work with pleasure and has avoided the nervous strain which marked his con- dition in getting ready for previous contests.

of the St Josephs' players, had violated a new rule adopted some time in June or early in July. This rule was to the effect that any player in any team who went outside the city to play with any other team on any Saturday on which his team was sched- nled to play in the City league, would stand suspended, and any team who played such a suspended player until the suspension was removed would for felt any and all games played, on the claim of any rival manager. The rule was made strong for very good reasons and Manager Keily's claim seemed an Important one. The official minutes were not present at the meeting and he decision on this point was left open until the president could see the off eial rule.
 To-day the case took on more new phases. After reading the rule careful ty the president decided that Manager Kelly's claim was just one and awarded the game to the Washington Hills. Manager Leydon on being in formed of this at once entered another protest and claimed the game on the grounds that the secretary of the league had not been officially notified Ehat Manager Kelly was going to play glavin as catcher on the Washington H5lI team. He also protested, claiming Ehat Slavin played outside the city within the last four weeks. The first protest is also a strong one. Rule seven says that in case a player changes from one team to another the manager of he team securing that player must Erst notify the secretary of such

FINDS FAULT WITH
THE POLICE COURT
Lieutenant Amiss on Disposal Of
Fruit Vender Gases.

Lieutenant Amiss. of the First police
precinct, recently forwarded a communi-
cation to Major Sylvester relative to the
disposition in the Police Court OF the
cases involving the obstruction of
streets by Greek and Italian fruit vend-
ers. He AYERS that the officials of the
court do not cooperate with the police.
and, by the disposition Of the cases
brought there for trial. discourage
rather than encourage the police In
making arrests for violating the law.
In the communication Lieutenant Amiss
referred to three cases which recently
came 10 his notice. Three vendors we're
taken into custody for obst-uctlng the
street and we're required 20 deposit SO
collateral at the station to insure their
appearance in the Police Court for trial.
