CANS GOT DECISION.
OutpOinted George McFadden in "a
Tvventy-Five-ROund Bout.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-At the Broadway
Athletic club tonight Joe Cans, the color
ed lightweight, IF Baltimore, received the
decision over George McFadden, of New
York, after one of the hardest fights wit
messed at this club in a long time. This
was the third meeting of the men, the
other two bouts resulting in favor Of Nc
Fadden in knockout and a draw. To-
night they met at 126 pounds, and when
they entered the ring both men were in
the best of condition. McFadden de-
parted from his usual tactics of blocking
until his opponent had worn himself out
with his own exertions and then going in
for knockout. He was aggressive from
the start, and acted as if confident Of
scoring a knockout in short order, but
Cans was too clever by far for him, and
had him figured from the start. Time aft
er time he STAYED off McFadden's rushes
with straight lefts, and swung repeatedly
with his right to the jaw, but McFadden
seemed to be made of iron and refused 20
be put out. McFadden's best work was
with his left, and Cans showed the eff
fects of its use at the finish. HIS ribs
were very red at the wind up, but other
wise showed no punishment
After the bout Cans manager chal-
lenged Erne or O'Brien for s., 900 side
for the lightweight championship of the
world.
