 There was finish fight in Brook lyn early yesterday morning. The fin- ish for one of the fighters came in the second round, and though the bout was a short one, there was enough punching to send the spectators home through the chill night wind in warm glow of satisfaction.

 Al Herford, manager of Joe Cans, is much perturbed over the latter's re- cent defeat by Sam Langford in Bos ton, and wants to arrange another contest. Herford contends that Cans is still the lightweight champion. as the battle with Langford was decided above the lightweight scale. Herford says: If Langford wants to meet Cans again I will sign articles for Il 20-round bout, provided he will reduce to 193 pounds, weigh in at , o'clock on the afternoon of the scrap. don't think he can do this. But if he can. Cans will be ready to talk business if Langford's packers will agree to side bet, say S1,000. I do not wish to detract from his reputation, as he is a very good man. But he should not take credit for thing which does not belong to him. Cans was not in as good shape as be has been in other important battles, but excuses are odi- ous, aud sve don't care to make them. If Langford is sincere be can have light without much trouble.
