ship aspirations of the man with an 20"
had he been more careful in the second
round. when he had him groggy and reel
ing around the ring from a well-directed
short right hook. AS it was. they went
the distance.
Recently when the two met to fix up the
latest match O'Brien began to boost him
self before a crowd of admirers. He
claimed the major portion Of the purse
for his reputation. This did not go with
McKeever.
I'm the one." said Charlie; Il deserve
the most money"
Reputation" snapped O'Brien. 1.-THE
only reputation you got has been from
meeting a lot Of stiffs."
We'll. you're the biggest one ever
met" was McKcever's retort.
This necessitated a clash. and the two
tried to convince one another on the spot.
Friends interfered, and they postponed
matters until this evening. when they

ERNE AND CANS FALL OUT.
Match Between Two Crack Lightweights
Falls Through.

BUFFALO. n. Y. March 30. - Frank
Erne and Joe Cans will not battle for the
lightweight championship at Fort Erie on
the night of May IA. as was scheduled.
The contest was declared of last night by
Manager Herman. of the International
Athletic Club because AL Herford. Cans
manager, refused to sign articles already
signed by Erne.
Herman says he will make no further
effort to bring the men together, as he is
firmly convinced that Herford was only
bluffing when he challenged the light
weight champion. Erne signed articles for
the bout Friday afternoon and posted his
forfeit.
When Herman received the articles he
at once took train for Baltimore. where
he met Herford. When the papers were
presented Herford refused pointblank to
sign. The only excuse Herford made was
that the purse of $500 offered was not
large enough.
Erne returned home today from De-
troit. When he learned of Herford's ac-
tions. he said:
IF Cans don't sign these articles at
once and fight. I'll declare him out OF the
running in the future. / will ignore his
