Another Is a young physician and the four remaining are medical students. They claim to have made themselves noticeable around West Twenty-sixth street just before election day.

CANS DEFEATS
 CHARLEY SIEGER
HARD FIGHT BEFORE EUREKA CLUB IN 6ALTtMORE--LASTs THIRTEEN ROUNDS - HAMMER AND ToNGs AFTER SECOND.

Baltimore, November 14.-Joe Cans, the light weight champion received the de- cision over Charley Sieger of Hoboken to- night, after thirteen and a half rounds of hard lighting before the Eureka club. The colored champion was called upon to do some very hard work to best the Hoboken boy, who was no match for Cans in sparring or ring tactics. Cans blocked many vicious swings but found that Sieger was capable of taking re- markable amount of punishment.
 After two rounds of fiddling the men went at each other hammer and tongs and Sieger appeared very groggy at the end of the third round from right and left swings to the jaw. At each succeeding round thereafter Sieger appeared to be about all in at the sound of the gong. In the tenth Sieger went down from right swings to the jaw. took the count and was saved by the gong. In the eleventh round Cans landed fourteen right swings to the jaw any one of which would have put an ordinary man down and out. The plucky Italian went down three times during the round. but after taking the count on each occasion, came back smil- ing and ready for more punishment. He came up strong in the thirteenth and managed to hold his own although being sent to the mat in the latter round.
