LIGHT WEIGHT CHA MP
ION PUT OUT BY 4
NEGRO FIGHTER
IN THE FIRST
Round.

Fort Erie, Ont, May 2th.-Joe
Cans knocked out Frank Erne with
a right blow thae landed plump on
the point of the jaw after one minute
and forty seconds of fighting here
to- night. BY his victory Cans be-
comes the light weight champion of
the world, title he has been striv-
ing to win fo, the past ten year.
Erne's defense was the most
pitiable he was ever known to put in
the ring. He did not land blow
on his colored opponent. In fact,
hc did nothing but take punishment.
Within minute after the opening
of the bout Erne was dazed by a
hard right on the ear. Little more
than half a moment later he was ly-
ing on his stomach with blood flow
ing from his nose and mouth, while
the referee counted him out.
Five thousand people, including
sports from New York and Chicago
witnessed the fight. There were
some betting on the result, with
Erne a 100 10 90 favorite. Terry
McGovern was among those at the
ring side. The winner was challeng-
ed by "Kid" Mcfarland, Art
Simms, "Kid' Parker and George
McFadden. 1t was announced that
Cans weighed in at l5eE. The
weights are not official, and both
men appeared to be heavier.

THE WRONG IDEA.
W. do not Agree with Rev.
Horace S. Graves State
mont Made at the A. M.
Church.. last Sunday
Evening.

Last Sunday night we were
startled at the view and open
statement that Rev. II. S. Graves
made at the A. M. +. church in
regard to the action of the Wo-
mans Federation at Los Angles,
Cal, last week. He said in part:
LAS long as the Christians churches
are divided on the question of race
color, so long as the great Methodist
church as one, divides on the color
line, there will be a color line. So
long as the colored mans hair is kinky
and his skin black, there will be a color
line drawn. And 10 is the Negro race
itself that is doing the most in bringing
that line 10 the front. Social equality
with the white people is sought. This
is impossible, just as much SO as with
the Chinaman, the North American n
Indian and others. The best and only
way Tor the coloved women to elevate
their race is to work among themselves.
I am CHAD the Federation Of Women's
club did not recognize the Boston col
ored Women's club. Those solored
women will ind ample opportunity 70
work. among their brethren"
We do not agree with the rev.
erend that it is good thing for
the federation to debar colored
clubs. He has failed to give II,
any reason for his statement, ex-
cept that those women seeking
white clubs had plenty of work
among their own women.
For a colored club to be a mem
