Cans Poor Showing.

Lack of work may have been the cause
of Cans making the unexpected showing
he did with Sullivan. who Is no SLOUGH at
the game, having fought Jack Blackburn
and other notable pugilists the hardest bat
ties in their careers. Cans may have been
beaten in the last few rounds, but the pub
lie, being in favor of the white boxer. could
see nothing but Sullivan. In the first round
Cans scored the only knock down of the
battle. On his last trip to the coast Cans
trained Corbett for his battle with Hanlon,
and, unfortunately. sprained ligament in
his left arm. which has never been the
same since. This was shown In the con-
test with Sullivan, when it was noticed that
Joe did not have the punch as on his other
appearances in this city. Sullivan was a
pretty hard man for a tryout for Cans. as
1t has been some time since the champion
has figured in long bout. Anyhow, II
Sullivan is DESTROYS Of another battle with
Cans he will be given the chance. the bat
tie to be fought at the lightweight limit
1873 pounds-and to be twenty rounds for
the lightweight championship. The contest
Friday night does not lessen my faith in
Cans, whom l am willing to back against
any man in the world at 1873 pounds, and
will make O side bet.

Referee O'Hara's opinion cuts very little
ice with the public. 1 boxed carefully in
the bout for several reasons.
Being against a local man in home town
