bod CANS LASTED
BUT TWO minutes
Fifteen Thousand Persons
See Him Knocked Out
By MCGaVern

Chicago, Dec. l4-Terry McGovern
IS now the undisputed lightweight
champion Of fine world. Last night he
knocked out Joe Cans, of Baltimore, af.
ter two minutes and five seconds OF
fighting, in the second round. Fifteen
thousand people witnessed the fight
Cans put very poor exhibition and
was never In it at any stage Of the
game. McGovern started rushing him
at the sound Of the gong and never let
up until Cans was counted out. Cans
never delivered an effective blow dur
ing the fight, and for a man OF his rep
utation be made q fight which will gain
him no friends among lovers Of true
sport in the ring. George Siler. the
veteran referee, who presided in the
ring, said after Cans had been taken
to his corner:
Cans put up a very poor fight. That's
all have to say"
McGovern put up a clean, fast fight
from start 10 finish and Is entitled to
all the credit of a victory. He fought
hard and fast, his blows went home
straight to the mark, and if the fight
is to be cried down at all it is on ac-
count Of the miserable showing made
by Cans.

been stopping. The doctors at the hos
pital were puzzled. She was conscious
most of the time but she passed away
before the doctors could learn the cause
of her illness.
At the Home for Aged Women this
morning it was learned Mrs. Linghton
came there last Thursday. She was
thirty-seven years old, and said to nave
come from Mexico. She was born in this
country, and was employed as house
keeper. From what could be learned the
woman was highly respectable and we'll
dressed She became i'll on Saturday and
DR.. Pyl was called in.

the case looked suspicious and that an
autopsy would be necessary.
