It was decided to withhold Hansen’s share of the purse till the subject had again been discussed at a further meeting of the executive tonight. In the third round of the bout Hansen fell writhing to the canvas. No claim to a foul was made and Hansen was counted out by the referee, Mr J. Steevens, who declared McKay the winner. Hansen’s seconds then claimed a foul and Hansen was carried to the dressing-rooms. He was examined by Dr. Cashmore and Dr. Kitchen, who stated that they were unable to discover any indication of a foul blow.
