The sales of East Side tenement house prop
erfy which has descended from Astor ances-
tors furnish interesting suggestions concerning
real estate progress in Manhattan. For scores
of years the Astors and the Geelets were looked
upon as owners of land upon this marvellous
Treasure Island of ours who could not be per-
suaded by any appeals to dispose of foot OF
it unless it were almost covered with gold coins
from centre to circumference. 1t must be ad-
rnftted now, however. that even the greatest
landed estates in Gotham are not eternally oo-
durate against real estate disposals provided
the guarantees are irnpeccabe.

CHAMPIONSHIP
Joe Cans and Jimmy Britt Will De.
eide the Question in Fight
Tonight

San Francisco Cal. May 29-Joe
Cans of Baltimore. who wrested the
lightweight championship from Frank
Erne year ago. will defend that title
at the Yosemite Athletic Iub tonight
in a 20-round contest with Willie Fitz-
gerald, of Brooklyn. who recently
gave Jimmy Britt such a hard fight in
this city. Cans during the year he
has been looked upon as the best
1873 FOUNDER, has been an ideal cham
piOn. inasmuch as he has fought all
c0mers, and until tOnight's battle was
arranged Cans chances in these CON-
ieSts have always been looked upon
with favor by shrewd ringtolloWers.
Following his defeat al Erne in one
round. Cans took on the best men of
his class and won a succession of vic
tories. In defense Of his neW-gained
laurels the colored fighter put George
McFadden away in rounds and dis
posed of Gus Gardner in ) rounds. He
also has INDUCED in a number OF
other fights with the same rsult.
Fitzgerald, as compared with Cans,
is but little more than novice in the
fighting game Nevertheless, in his
short career he has displayed prow-
ess that has attracted widespread
attention in sporting circles. That
FITZGERALD is clever is admitted On all
sides He is quick on his feet and
clever at blocking. but whether he
possesses a blow sufficiently hard TO
knockout the coIored lad remains to-
De seen Cans in the past has done
all OF his good work by COuntering
and exceptional fo0tWOrk. He is
quick as the proverbal tiger on his
feet An opponent makes dash at
him. Cans sidestenps and then
crashes in those punches which have
brought him fame and the premier
shin Of his class. He does not favor
either hand His right is to him just
the same as his LETT.
