Jiu Jitsu got another bump last night; in fact, three of them.

According 10 the conditions of the match Higashi was at liberty to use any of his alleged bone-breaking holds. and Swanson had carte blanche to do anything he knew now, except punch. It was necessary to pin the shoulders to the floor a ruil minute in order to secure a fall. 2 swanson won the first bout i'm lg minutes seconds with a crotch hold He got the second in the same way i'm minutes 15 seconds, and body hold gave him the third in 6 minutes 2s sec onds.

THE PUGILIsTS.
CANS DOWN
 AND OUT
His Match With Gardener is Off Twin" Sullivan Will Take His Place-Sammy Myers Whipped.

Baltimore, Oct 14.-Joe Cans, light weight champion pugilist, is exactly as much member of the has-been or der now as he is of the Alimony club. In court recently, when his wife sued for alimony, Joe said that he was no longer the terror in the roped arena that he was some time ago, and in this he was corroborated by his manager. Al Herford, and the Iatter's brother and secretary, Maurice Herford.
 They're putting it on little thick,p said the fight fans. They are just trying to have the court make the ali. mony light, then you will see that there is plenty of good fight still in the colored champion"
 That was quite the general impress sion, and very shortly afterward Man ager Al announced that he had re- ceived an offer for Cans to meet Jim my Gardner on the coast. \
 T told you so," was the next cry, but now comes vail from Herford. The proposed match for Cans is all off and Mike Twin) Sullivan, who gave Cans terrible beating right here In Baltimore, has been substitut- ed for Cans in the match with Jimmy Gardner in Frisco this month. It seems that Sullivan, as soon as he had put 1t all over the lightweight cham pion, packed up his profits and hied himself to the coast. and on his show. ing against Cans took the match with Gardner from right under the cham pion's nose.
 The Gans-Sullivan battle is also said to have caused words between Joe and his manager. the suave Al. All who saw the fight>saw Cans put Sullivan down with right hook to the jaw in the first round of the battle. There is no getting away from the fact that Sullivan was on queer street. but for. some reason Cans did not fol low up his advantage. Sullivan was not right for couple of rounds after- ward; then, however. he came back in great shape. while Cans lack. of train ing began to show most plainly. Sul- livan continued to get stronger. while Cans got weaker. and in the last round the champ was hanging on like a chump.
 After the slaughter 1t is said that Cans claimed he could have put Sulli- van out in the. first round, and that on account of his not being in condition he started to make n short fight of it. Therefore he tried for knockout from the jump and in the first round chopped Sullivan in the jaw aand. nut him down with the intention of finish ing him off right then and there, but Cans claims that after he had scored his first knockdown Manager Al Her ford called to him from his corner to let Sullivan stay a. few rounds. as oth- erwise the spectators would yell "Faker'
 After the battle Cans accused Her. ford of having caused him to get a good beating. Manager Al is said to have denied the charge, and some hot words followed. @
 While neither will discuss the sub feet now. the story comes from excel lent authority and seems very plaus- ible in view of the fact that Cans cid have Sullivan nearly out in the first round and then let up.

| son WAS really brilliant. h close quar- ters there is no man within ten pounds I If his weight that can compete with him. Some say that Nelson is easy to hit. Well, he is, but not in close. He covers up nicely when in clinch and has right upper cut that is hard to avoid. Britt might have delayed mat ters by sprinting, but the defeat was | inevitable.
 When Britt and Nelson meet again the latter will dictate the terms of bat tie, and it is needless to say that he will ask for as many rounds as pos sible. Britt was the vanquished, and he must take what is offered or retire to the woods. As matters stand he will take what is in sight. He firmly be- lieves that he had a chance with the strenuous youth and that another fight will bring forth anothefs fesufHi s"o s
 Tn regard to the punching ability of the men there is no choice. Britt can hit just as hard as Nelson. It is In the receiving end that he is lacking. As an illustration of how Nelson can punch take the sixth round. In that act the Dane landed lefts and rights so many times that 1t was impossible to count them. Still Britt was on his feet and was never sent down for the count Now, If Nelson had been a puncher he would have ended the ngony fin the sixth. The same applies to Britt. He landed enough punches tn the Dane to whip dozen men, but never caused him to lose his aggres- siveness. Nelson won simply because he is a wonder when 1t comes to as- similating punishment. Nothing comes too hard for the boy from Hegewisch. while Britt cannot take the grueling and continue.

NelsonS Next Fight.
Must Choose Bet4ceen Brtt and Gardner---Th Dane
 l. Dictator.
By THOMAS F. CLARK.


 For his next opponent Battling Nel- son will choose between Jimmy Britt and Jimmy Gardner.
 Immediately after the recent bout with Britt, Nelson said that he would flight Gardner, but that the weight must be satisfactory. This means, or, rather, Nelson said. 130 pounds ringside.
 Nelson fought Britt at 133 pounds, but 1t must be remembmedthath Britt Ihad the "ace in the hole and dictated the terms. The Battling one can do 130 pounds at pinch, and, being in charge for the present of the lightweight cham pionship, he can Juggle the weights to suit himself. In doing so he is perfect lly right 1t isn't on record that fight | er flush from great victory failed to dictate terms. Nelson is king. and he can justly reap the golden harvest so long delayed. His slogan will be Steer clear of Gardner, unless Gardner will consent to weight that will ruin him for fighting purposes.Y 2
 As far as Nelsons next fight is con cerned 1t is safe to bet that Jimmy Britt will be his opponent, There is money in Britt, and if he and Nelson were to hook up again in the next three months 1t is almost certainty that the native son would enter the ring a slight favorite. Although beaten deci- sively by the durable Dane, the Califor- nians are willing to tlke Brother. VII lies" version of the affair "a 'chaRce blow. The Callfornians are long on lucky punches and chance blows, espe- cially whenever native son figures in the losing end, and they are willing to believe that Jeems Edgar was the vic tim of a wild wallop. After the fight Willie Britt gave out the following: "Jimmy was winning hands down when that wi1s. crazy wallop arrived and sent him to the sleep counter. He would have surely finished Nelson in another round"
 Californians say that Britt made a serious mistake in mixing matters with the Dane They argue that he should have adopted his old tactics of hit and get away. using his superior speed and foot work. continuing to be a boxer Instead of a fighter. But it is hard to take jeers and catcalls. Whenever Britt fought after his most effective fashion sneering voices would cry out with the effect of pouring vinegar into
