ERNIE DEFEATS CAMS.
Buffalo Boy Received Decision in
Twelfth Round.

Buffalo Boy Received Decision IN
Twelfth Round.
New York, March 24.-Frank Erne, of
Buffalo, successfully defended his title
of lightweight champion of the world
against Joe Cans (colored). Of Balti-
more, before the Broadway Athletic
club, last night. Erne did most of the
heavy fighting, displaying better judg-
ment and more skill than his opponent.
Cans received his punishment gamely
until the twelfth round, when his left
eye was started from its socket by
terrific right hand swing from the Buff
falO boy. Cans was helpless and there
was no alternative for the referee but
to award the decision to Erne.
The contest drew an enormous crowd
to the Broadway Athletic club. There
were many who wagered large sums OF
money that Joe Cans, the colOred boy,
from Baltimore. would take the cham
pionShip from the vicinity of the Great
lakes to the borders of Chesapeake bay.
There was so much Baltimore money in
sight that Cans was made a faVOr1te at
100 to 80 a week ago, and the confidence
of the Maryland people was so well eS-
tablished that they bet on their man at
odds of 100 to 20 There was q strong
money laden contingent from Buffalo
at the ringside and every man of the
party bet heavily on the little lad from
their city, taking every bet offered by
the Marylanders.
One hundred to 20 on Cans was the
best price offered and the Buffalo peo-
pie snapped this up so quickly that the
price rose to 100 to so.
At 9:35 Erne climbed through the
ropes. His seconds were Frank limp
fer, Joe Fitzpatrick and George Calter.
! Cans appeared about five minutes later
and was accompanied by Al HEREFORD,
1 Harry Lyons and Caleb Bond.
Before the men were introduced it
was announced that George AIcFadden,
1 of this city, would challenge the win
| ner. When Erne was introduced there
| was thunderous applause but when the
| Baltimore negro was announced there
| was very little enthusiasm.
! The men agreed to have a return
| match no matter who won. Straight
! Queensberry rules governed the contest.
! Each man stripped in perfect condition.
| Just as they were ready to begin hostil-
tiles. Erne's manager, Robert Smith,
stepped to the ringside and calling Erne
| over to him said:
There shall be no judges for this
bout. We will depend on the referee. -
The men shook hands at 9:55

Always Took Food Before Plea ding.

DR. Brunton. one of the most famous
physicians of London, tells of a patient
of his who was a noted barrister ana
who always took a full dose of cod liver
oil before pleading a case. This barris-
ter did not believe in stimulants and
never used them while engaged in men
tai labor. Yet he always took his dose
of cod liver oil because he said it rem
dered his mind much more active. With
out doubt cod liver oil is a most re-
rnarkable food especially when partly
digested as it is in SCOTS Emulsion. It
certainly strengthens the memory and
feeds and builds up the whole nervous
system to a most remarkable degree.
