CANS WHIPPED HOLLY.
Colored Boy Easily outclassed the
Philadelphia Boxer.

Joe Cans, the lightweight champion of
the world, defeated Dave Holly of Phila-
delphia in six fast rounds at the Washing
ton Sporting Club, Philadelphia, last night.
The champion started in to end matters
in the first round, and staggered Holly with
stiff rights to the jaw, and dropped him for
a count of seven Just before the bell
sounded.
The second round was almost a repetition
of the first, with Cans doing all the leading
and landing hard and often. Holly planted
two stiff rights under Cans heart. but was
sent to the floor with a left hook the
chin. Holly fought back hard. but could
not land an effective blow.
Holly was aggressive in the third round,
but did not appear to reach the champion
with any effect. He then tried mitigating,
but Cans had the better of the exchanges,
and the bell found both men hard at II.
Cans also did the better work in the fifth
round, but appeared to tire toward the end
and had visibly lost much of his speed
when the last round was called.
Holly improved in the final effort and put
three hard jabs to Cans face at the start.
The Philadelphia boxer then landed two
right swings on the champions jaw, and
Cans looked weary. Holly grew careless
and was staggered with hard left hook On
the jaw, but he came back with a hard left
to Cans nose, and both men were fighting g
hard when the bell rang.

Team Standing,

Several records were smashed last week,
and the work of the teams as a whole was
by far the best Of the season. The most
noteworthy achievement was the great
squirt Of the Bureaus in their match with
the Post Office, when they swept the alleys
for a total of $500 for three games and
1,OO6 for a single game, both new records
for the league and the District this season.
The champions were also in rare form, and.
although they did not equal their best
single game, their steady pin smuggling net
ted them set of 2,ST, SO pins higher than
the record of 2,S35, which was held by the
Commissioners at the beginning of the
week.
The Treasury was also in the SWIM and
jumped their high set from 2,676 to 9 701,
and the trailers celebrated Waters en-
trance into the league by beating their best
previous set 90 pins, and rolling for the
first time this season all their games over
500.
The two extremes carried Off the honors
for biggest gains in game average the Bu-
reaus going from 800 to 901 and the traflers
from $50 to 758. The other gains were: In
terror. SS4 to $50; Treasury, 800 to S13;
Commissioners, $50 to $50; Navy Yord. $50
to S51: G. P. o.. S25 to 500: Agriculture 500
to 800: War, SOS to S04. The Post Office
dropped from S57 to $50. The narrow mar
gin of pins separates the Commissioners
and Interiors in totals.
The average for the week of the COM
bined teams Is a creditable one for a star
team. S73. and 1t is doubtful If such a rec
ord has ever been equaled in the District

Another revolution in base ball. second
only to the one which Ban Johnson ana
the American League carried through 50
successfully a few years ago, 10 TO take
place in the near future, If the plans OF
the men engineering the scheme can be

cago writer. The new deal Is, so the In
side information goes. to be handled py
several magnates Of the American Asso-
citation, working with several now inter-
ested in the Eastern League, and the plan
is nothing less than the destruction OF
the present American Association ana
Eastern League and the organization OF
a new body, which will probably be known
as the American Association, and which
will be inferior only to the National ana
American Leagues in power ana circuit
population.
The American Association of this year
would have been winner but for the
presence of two or three inferior cities
and the distance of the jumps, ana the
same may be said of the Eastern, which
was hampered by about three weak SIS
ters in the circuit. Hence the scheme now
under way, the most colossal since the
Johnsonian cohorts swooped down upon
the astounded National League and skinned
l. alive. The new league will have as Its
most likely circuit Baltimore, Jersey City
Buffalo and Toronto in the east Columbus
Louisville, milwaukee, and Indianapolis IN
the west.
The circuit would De much superior to
either the American Association Of Eastern
League line-ups of 1903. and. with proper
energy and enterprise, would be a financial
winner. Under the conditions of the deal
Kansas City, St. Paul and Minneapolis
would be abandoned to the Western League
and that body would have circuit COM
posed of st. Paul, Minneapolis. Kansas
city, Omaha, st. Joseph, Lincoln. Colorado
Springs and Denver A new and powerful
New England League would spring up,
with Providence as its chief city, and the
New York State League would be made
twice as strong now by the tncorpora-
ton of Rochester and Syracuse in its list
of towns.

DE ORC IN THE LEAD.
Sherman Outplayed in First Night Of
Baltimore Pool Match.

The pool tournament between Alfred De
Orc and Frank Sherman was begun last
night at Raine's Hall, Baltimore. The
score at the end of the first night stands:
De Orc, 213; Sherman, 17S-thus giving the
present champion lead Of IS points over
his opponent.
Each man appeared strongly DESTROYS of
winning the lead on the first nights play,
and they rolled off frame after frame at
nearly an even clip. Toward the close.
however, Sherman had his difficulties and
his opponent forged ahead. De Orc dis
played, time and again. his ability to break
the balls and leave Sherman with hardly
shot. De Orc also saved himself many
times by safety shots, which were heartily
applauded by the audience.
Sherman, who is well known locally, had
the sympathy Of the crowd, and played a
better position game than his opponent, as
well as a steadier score. Twenty-seven
frames were required before De Orc had
broken frame had to be rolled off which
added Ii more to the required score. Sew
eral seemingly impossible kiss shots were
made by the Cuban, for which he was lib
orally applauded.
Combination shots were not much in EVIL
dence. Sherman made many scratches, and
If there was any luck in the game 1t did
not come his way.
The contests will be continued tonight
and tomorrow evening, and judging from
last nights play some fine work with the
cue will be accomplished
The well-known Baltimore expert, John
Klein, was on hand and acted as referee
1t Is said that each player is more than
determined to win this contest since the
winner of the championship will be selected
to demonstrate the science Of the game by
the largest table manufacturing concern In
the country.

Object to Tennis Rankine.

Western lawn tennis men have entered a
protest with the ranking committee of the
national association against the placing of
the teams in the doubles. They think that
the ranking committee. composed of Hol-
combe Ward, Harry Allen and Beals c.
Wright. erred in placing Collins and Waid-
ner fourth.
They declare that tie ranking should have
been: Collins and Waidner. first: Ward
and Ware. second; Larned and Ware. third.
and the Wrenn brothers, fourth instead of
Larned and Ware. frst; Ward and Ware,
second; the Wrenn brothers. third and Col
Inns and Waidner, fourth.
In the opinion of the westerners, Collins
and Waidner Of Chicago should have been
placed first because they not only won the
western championship. but also the west
against the east match at Newport, defeat
ing Ward and Ware. Another argument
they advance Is that Collins and Waidner
met the Doherty brothers in the challsnge
contest for the championship of the United
States. They aver that the COMMITTEES evil
IDENTIFY tried to place the west as low as
possible In the ranking.

Olympia Athletes Did Well.

In the Wrfteup last evening of the athletic
meet held In Baltimore Saturday night the
performance of the members Of the Olympia

this event Watson started third from
