Oystertown. Joe Cans.
Limited. to six rounds, the bout gives
every promise of being one OF the fastest
and cleverest since the death of the Hor-
ton law in New York. Certain it is that
the Buffalo boxer and his Baltimore op-
ponent are without peers today among
the little fellows at the scientific end Of
the game They are likewise speedy, hard
hitters, and know every inch of the way.
Ready for the Fray.
Sports have already gathered in num-
bers from every one of the Eastern sea
board towns. and each train brings its
full quota New York and Baltimore aIt,
the best represented. The Gotham crowd
number over 3oo. including many OF 'hHsc
whose names are prominent in hstaua
and on the race track.
Buffalo. the home OF the champion is
also 10 the good ai;h fly admirers Of
Erne They arc not oaly the best
groomed. bu; carry as well the largest
hank rolls and have started TO 20 the
limit in betting on their choice.
The 0Tjole delegation is not making it
self heard but The knowing ones who
compose it say thcy viii be there with the
goods when il comes 10 covering waeers.
CoIurcd sports Favor Cams.
They dumped 4 number OF commissions
into the Quaker City on Saturday night
which were quickly sobh.ed up. TIE
colored contingent Cans followers from
start TO finish. are booked TO arrive this
afternoon. Policy money, their savings
for months past and everything movable
that could be disposed OF for = money
consideration will be placed on him TO
go in and set the lcng end OF the money

pair. and they are in fine form Their ,
first was at the old Broadway Athlete !
Club over two years ago. when Erue was t!
awarded the decision in the fourteenth |
round. Up until the end came it WAS q /
rattling fight, but the finish proved un-
satisfactory
With both boys strong and plenty o. 4
speed left they clashed in Cans corner.
To the surprise Of the sports the coIored 1

at even money, which shows the Why the |
wind blows. Cans. perhaps on account
OF his frequent appearance In the City Of
BrOtheTly Love, may have thc larger share !
Of admirers. That both boys VIII realize |
however they have been In a fight Is as |
certain as DEATH
OWING to the brcvity Of the bout IL is
believed that the lightweight cha mpionship
is not in doubt. Only on knockout or
foul could the championship mantle be
transferred from the shoulders of the
Buffalo boxer TO those of the copper
,olored fighting machine from Baltimore.
II they mix 1t up from the start, how
sver. something is very apt to happen.
The man with the best eye and the punch
will then get the money.
OrioIc Boxer Looks Good.
At long range Cans perhaps looks to
nave the shade the best of it. In their
ormer bout when he fought at this style
he was slowly but surely cutting the ,
white boy TO ribbons. From the beat
ng he had received during the first two
-ounds II looked as If Erne would 10
Inder In the sixth. but, weak and wabbly
IN his feet, he managed. more through
uck TO lumber out of his opponents way.
In the mix-ups however, he proved
himself master OF the dusky one. IL
nix-up after mix-up Cans would always !
freak ground after matters became too
warm. His reach. however, and the
generalship displayed, held I
trne off when he attempted to continue {
he rapid FIRE order OF battle
On this II is argued that should Cans
iecide TO stay away from ihe clashes I
ne viii have no difficulty in making Erne
