JOE CANS WON.
But Grim Put Up Wonderful
Fight

The most remarkable pugilfstic encounter
perhaps. ever witnessed in Baltimore oc-
CURED last night before the Eureka Ath-
letic and Social Club, at SchregeI's Hall. in
which there We're nearly 1880 club mem
bers- The set-to was between Joe Grim. the
Philadelphia boxer. whom some of the
greatest fighters of the present day have
failed to knock out. and Joe Cans, the
worlds lightweight champion.
Cans had had six-round trial with Grim
in Philadelphia and though he beat Grim
as efectually Bob Fitzsimmons Kid
Carter and other celebrities have done he
was unable to stop this wonderful Italian.
GRIM is phenomenon. He does not ap-
pear to have sensitive nerve anywhere in
his anatomy.
In the ten rounds of fighting last night
Cans, who is a powerful hitter. smote the
Italian from waist to top of the head and
mt MIN hard- He made blood flow, but he
did not come anywhere near stopping him.
AT the end of ten rounds Grim was fighting
more strongly than he was at any other
time of the battle. The spectators were
amazed, and many said that Grim would
have stopped Cans had the battle been for
unlimited number of rounds. There is
not more clever boxer living than Joe
Cans, but with all his clevernesS he was
unable to find a vulnerable point which
would enable him to stop the Italian freak
The conditions of the match We're that
Cans was to stop Grim in ten rounds. and
for every round after the sixth that Grim
stayed Grim was to get S10o round. The
referee was to decide who had the better
of the battle at the end of ten rounds, pro-
vided the fight lasted that long, and the
winner was to get 60 and the loser 40 per
cent of the purse. Cans got the decision
from the referee and Grim got 40 per cent
and s400 additional by staying ten rounds.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Two Long Shots in Front Helped the
Bookmakers.

During four races at New Orleans yester-
day afternoon the raeegoers had much the
better of the financial argument with the
bookma kers, and they relieved the latter of
big wads of their wealth. But for the sue
cess of Hymettus and Rachel Ward, 25 to
1 and 20 to 1 chances, respectively, the
bookmakers would have received the worst
drubbing of the meeting.
1t was day of good things" and with
the exception of these two long shots men,
toned all of the heavily backed horses
proved to be winners. Little Scout won the
handicap easily after Payne had scared the
favorite's hackers out of a years growth
by opening up gap of ten lengths in the
run down the back stretch and holding a
clear lead to the last furlong. At that point
Little Scout. slow to catch his stride in the
early part of the race. finished with a great
burst of speed and beat Payne out to the
wire by three lengths.
Hymettus and Rachel Ward were scarcely
backed save by few intimate friends of
each stable. Ralph Bauer, who controls the
former filly, did not think very well of her
chance. and let her run unba cked except
for a small wager.
The track was in very bad condition as
the result of the storm of Thursday and
during the early morning hours the work of

the path near the outer rail-
