CANS An EASY WINNER
OVER CANADIAN BOXER
Colored Champion Hammered the
White Lad Until the Police
Stopped the Fight.
WARD WAS NEARLY OUT
Canadian Started BriSkly, but a
Few Blows on the Jaw Made
Him Groggy.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 2.-Joe Cans. the
lightweight champion. tonight demonstrat-
ed his superiority over Mike Ward. of Sar-
MA Ont, the lightweight champion Of Can
ada, in so decided a manner that the police
stopped the bout at the expiration of two
and one-half minutes of the tenth round.
Ward was just able to stagger about the
ring, and another of the punches Cans had
been raining on his jaw would have put him
out. Ward was so badly beaten that it took
his seconds over an hour to thoroughly re-
vive him after he was led to his corner.
'1here were 5000 persons in Light Guard
Armory when the bout was called. Cans
ruled favorite at 10 to in the betting,
which was brisk. Both men were in splen-
Gid condition. Ward started the fight with
a rush. and landed effectively on Gans's
stomach throughout the first round. in
which the Canadian had slightly the bet
ter of 1t. In the second round Cans began
to land on Ward Jaw, and from then un-
I'll the fight was stopped the champion kept
Wards head bobbing back with MS
punches. Ward showed well in the last
minute of the third round, and neither man
had decided advantage during this period.
Cans, however had a decided lead from
the third round to the end of the fight.
Ward tired perceptibly in the fifth and
sixth rounds, but recuperated somewhat
and fought stronger IN the next two. Cans,
however, continued TO show his superiority
over the young Canadian.
In the ninth round Cans knocked Ward
down with a terrific right swing on the
jaw and almost put him out. Ward took
the count and the bell saved him. He
came up for the tenth very grOggy and
Cans punched him in the jaw almost at
will. Ward was so hopelessly beaten and
so evidently suffering that the police or
dered the bout stopped. Cans would al
most certainly have knocked him complete
ly out in the next thirty seconds had the
fight not been stopped.

CENTRAL lEAGUERS

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Feb. "A meeting of
the Central Polo League Will be held Sun
day in Indianapolis to take action on sew
eral subjects. principal of which will be
the disposition of the games postponed the
first month of the season, when the Lafay-
ette and Kokomo rinks were not ready. 1t
had been suggested that the postponed
games could be played at Champaign, Ill.,
where there is a new rink and plenty Of
polo fans. The rink owners offer 80 per cent
of the receipts TO the visiting teams. But
Lafayette and Kokomo do not want to
play the games at Champaign. nor at home
1t is believed the additional games to the
two a week regularly scheduled at home
would be too heavy a drain on the patron
age. The other teams do not want to play
the games at Lafayette and Kokomo be-
cause there is only the guarantee money in
the trip. There would be no doubt about
calling the games off were ii not for the
confusion and controversies likely to arise
in awarding the pennant. The fact that
both Lafayette and Kokomo are rapidly
climbing the percentage column also has q
bearing on the situation.

PACIFIC LEAGUE WILL
RANK WITH THE MAJORS
Big Leagues Not to Be Allowed to
Draft Players from the
Coast League.
TO OBSERVE CONTRACTS
Proposition Must Be Submitted to
the National Association for
Adoption.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "A provisional
agreement has been reached between repre-
sentatives of the Pacific Coast Baseball
League and the major leagues. confer
ence participated in between Ban Johnson,
representing the American League: James
A. Hart, representing the National Asso-
citation, and Edward Hanlon. representing
the minor leagues association on one side,
and Harry Harris. James Morley and Eu-
gene Berla, representing the local leagues
on the other side. was held in this city to-
day.
The Pacific coast magnates stated that no
players who had made contracts with Pa
cific coast clubs for next season would be
surrendered. Hanlon stated he would have
to communicate with the different clubs
who have lost players before he could agree
to this. The only player over whom there
seemed to be serious contention was Cap
tain Dillon, of the Los Angeles club, who
had signed to play with Brooklyn as well
as Los Angeles. Both Hanlon and Marley
were inclined to fight for him, but they
finally agreed to settle their dispute out
of court.
Gochanuer, who belongs TO Cleveland. but
who had signed with Harris, Will be al
lowed to come to the coast, Cleveland re-
linquishing its claim upon him.
Portland entered a claim for Rube Wad-
dell. but il was shown that he had signed
with Connie Mack and accepted advance
money from him before Portland negotiated
for his services.
The Pacific coast representatives said they
would not think of accepting the terms OF
the national agreement unless their league
was put i'm class with the two big leagues
In other words, the big leagues were not to
be allowed to draft players, but IL was TO
be accorded the privilege of making it's own
salary limit.
The Eastern representatives said this
proposition was perfectly acceptable to
them. but they had no idea how the minor
leagues would look at it,
The Pacific Coast League people agreed
to respect the contracts of other leagues
which was the chief concession ii made.
Before the agreement will become final ii
will have to be passed up to the National
Baseball Association for its ratification The
board will not meet for two weeks yet.

BIG ODDS ON ATTELL
HAS CAUSED GOSSIP
Chicago Sporting Men Inclined to
Believe There Was Some
thing Wrong.
BET OF $500 TO $3.50

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-Although Ike Bloom,
the manager OF Abe Attell. who returned
from St Louis to-day. stoutly denies any
thing suspicious about Mondays fight, in
which Harry Forbes was defeated. many
Chicago sporting men think there was
something wrong about the contest. Mon
day night, up TO the hour when the men
went into the ring. some local sports were
frantically trying to place bets on Attell at
ridiculous odds. One bet Of 800 TO $3.50
made and probably others at similar odds.
One sporting man had $500 for some days
before the fight which he advertised he
wanted TO bet on Attell, and he Is not man
who ordinarily can raise that sum OF
money. Ike Bloom tonight denied he bet
TO 1 on Attell. He said he had made but
one bet and that was so 10 so on Attell.
Bloom so far is known. has not mixed
up with previous jobs and his name was not
mentioned in connection with the Cans Mo-
Govern fake.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 2-The Purdue
basketball team is practicing for a game
with De Pauw which is to be played at the
Polo Coliseum in this city next Saturday
night De Pauw defeated Indiana last week
and the Boilermakers are not anticipating
an easy game. Captain Peck, with the as
sistance of Trainer Wheeler. has instilled
new life into the men in the past week
and the victory over Wabash Saturday did
much TO encourage better team work and
harder practice. Owing to the poor sup
port thus far given the team and the slim
attendance at games Athletic Director
Cults is endeavoring to interest fraternity
men in the contests with the view of max
ing the games social events. 1t is prob
able that the plan will succeed and that

score. The game was one of the toughest
