found 1t comparatively easy to defeat Joe

performances of late he was expected to
give good fight and his poor showing
was deplored by his friends. who lost
heavily on his defeat.
Cans put up a mastery exhibition. He
was cool-headed and skillful, and /ery
one of his blows landed. The end came
so unexpectedly that even Handlers sec
ouds could not realize his downfall.
AL Herford and n number OF his Balti-
