Jimmy Britt Of California lost the
lightweight championship of the world

fouled Joe Cans. He had sent Cans
TO his knees in the fifth round and
then, losing his head, gave him a Vi
cioUs punch and Referee Graney
promptly awarded the decision to Cans

his knees to escape a blow that did not
land Britt struck at him, but Graney
would not allow the foul.
In the next round. however, Graney
very promptly recognized the foul

start as If il were BTitts fight. He
actually outboxed Cans and landed
blow after blow.

There Is every probability of the plague

The German Emperor, hearing of the
arrangement, pointed out through his Am

ago he had presented the city OF Rome
with statue Of Goethe, and that 1t had
remained unveiled. He expressed annoy
ance that the King should be about to
take part in the unveling of the statue
of Victor hugo, while his own had waited
unveiled for three years.
AS n result of Geographic communica-
ton between the German and Italian gov
ernments, it was decided to alter the
programme so as not to arouse the Ger
man Emperor's anger. There was, there
fore, no official unwilling of the Victor
Hugo statue, which was merely shown to
