CANS EASILY WHIPS FLAHERTY

Baltimore, April 2.--The fight last night before the Eureka A. c. between Joe Cans and Martin Flaherty. which was scheduled to go twenty rounds, came to an end in the fourth round, Flaherty's seconds throwing up the sponge. It was Gans's fight from start to finish, as Flaherty was com pletely outclassed. Flaherty assumed the aggressive from the start, depend ing upon landing a knockout blow. but Cans was too clever and easily kept out of reach of the Lowell mans dangerous swings. The men then be- gan to rough it and had to be warned repeatedly for hitting i'll clinches and not until the police threatened to stop the bout did they cease. Flaherty tried hard to reach Gans's stomach but did not succeed often enough to do any damage. Cans, on the other hand. played for the face and jaw and did not have any difficulty in landing hard and often. Flaherty fought gamely and took good punishment. Early in the battle his eye was. .puffed and his face showed the marks of punishment. While Cans did not show any disas- trous results of the fight. Tn the fourth round Cans landed right and left on the jaw and Flaherty went down. He jumped to his feet, however, and rushed at Joe, only to get another smash on the jaw, which sent him to the floor again, and then his seconds threw up the sponge.

 London, April 2.-England once more rejoices i'll the possession or heavyweight champion. His name IS George Chrisp, and he won his title last night in slashing bout With Ben ,raylor at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The fight was set for twenty rounds, but Chrisp cut it short in the eighth With a right swing on the point of the jaw that put Taylor down and out. The beaten man entered the ring 5 to l favorite, but Chrisp developed so much cleverness and speed in the opening rounds that the odds were speedily re versed. Chrisp is TO pound man, but strong and rugged, He will bear watching. Taylor tipped the beam at 1855 pounds. The purse was $1,OOO, and the large crowd in attendance dld heavy betting on the result. Up to the time of Chrisps victory England had not possessed native born heavy weight champion since 1885, when Jem Smith beat Jack Davis, very poor fighter, for the title. In 1889 Peter Jackson beat Smith i'll two rounds. Sla- win also beat Smith in the same year, but was created of his victory by thugs. Tn 1892 Peter Jackson beat Frank Slavin at the National Sporting club, London, i'll ten rounds.
