Comment and Gossip
Suspicion Aroused by Varying Reports on
Cans Turner Fiqht-HartJohnson Affair
Not SO Notwithstanding

What abb 1t that light last night in
Phiiadelphia between Joe Cans and Rufe
Turner?
There is something wrong somewhere.
The Philadelphia papers and the lead
ing sporting sheets of New York are
unit in agreeing that Cans was win
ner after the first two rounds and would
have been clearly entitled to a decision
had one been given. In the face OF
this the reports in the Baltimore papers
and in the local morning papers are to
the effect that Cans was "outclassed'
and was a comparatively easy mark for
The California negro This divergence
of opinion does not look good. and the
inference seems to be that there is a
play for a return match TO be patron
lied by the Washington and Baltimore
publics.
What are evidently the true accounts
of the match say that Cans was as
speedy as in the days of old, that his
wonderful cleTerness is still with him,
end that when The occasion demands
he has that famous wallop which can
lift a welterweight off his feet In the
first two rounds Turner was also won
derfully clever, and accomplished the
feat of reaching Cans face seven times
in the opening session, which is some
thing few boxers living could be ex-
pected to do The second round also
went to Turner. who landed lefts and
rights, and cleanly jabbed the Balt!mo-
, rean with telling effect.
After that Cans came to life and be-
gan TO get in those short rights and
lefts which have enabled him to wear
diamonds and travel in Pullmans. For
two rounds he handed it to the Califor-
nian and then both began to tire. The
last two sessions found Turner weak
and wobbly and Cans chasing him
al ound the ring with great enthusiasm.
This account of the fight by we'll
known writer for one of the Phila-
delphia papers shows that there was
something wrong, or the poorest critic
that ever happened wrote for Baltimore
and Washington Watch for the return
match in Baltimore at fifteen rounds.
Turner is a clever lightweight, and
some of the alleged would-be champions
have been side-stepping him with all
sorts of excuses. Among his latest vic
tins have been Sam Bolen and Jack
| Williams. both of whom he besteds in
| siX-round bouts in Philadelphia. He had
| q bout with Fred Douglass, the South
ern lightweight, but the affair broke
up in a row in the first or second round
| because of the foul tactics employed by
| Douglass.
| Jack johnson and Marvin Hart clash
| tonight in Frisco. The bout has been
| loudly hailed as of great Importance
because the winner is likely to meet
Jeffries for the championship This pipe
! has been worked hard by the press
agents. and ought to have gone out be-

The twelve-round bout scheduled in
Baltimore tonight between Kid Egan,

week, and the attraction tonight will
be between Harry Scroggs and Joe Tip
man. This is not much of a card eX-
cept to those who are Immediately in
terested in the two men. Tipman never
was much TO begin with and has been
going back for some time. He Is cley-
er fellow personally and deserves the
large following which always turns out
tc see him fight, but he Is not a pugi-
list and should have stuck to his deter
mination TO retire.
When Egan and Murphy get together
there will be something doing. The
Washington man is improving all the
time and acquiring few grains of sense
which are a big help TO him. Some OF
the amateurish ideas which marred his
boxing and made him overconfiden1
have disappeared. and after he has had
a few more salient points jammed into

better than had been anticipated. The
