HEAVYWEIGHTS BATTLEO

George Gardner Of Lowell. Mass. and
Jim Jeffords. heavyweights. at Philadel-
pha. last night, figured i'm the most un-
satisfactory bout OF the season at the Ma
tional A. G.
That neither man was much OF an at
traction was proved by the small turn
out. and many of those present decided
not TO remain until the finish OF the set
to. Gardner who aspires TO the light
heavyweight championship. gave no evil
dence OF any ability To ever gain this dis
tnctlon. Jeffords, strange 10 say, was
the aggressor.
Gardner. though. proved clever enough
to escape many OF Jims swings and gave
some idea OF his reported cleverness in
the fourth round when he escaped Jim's
leads and countered him time and again
with his left on the nose.
The first two rounds were very slow.
In the third round Jeffords got in a
right swing under Gardner's heart and
later landed on Georges nose with right
uppercut.
II was in the fourth round that Gard
ner did his best work. He missed with
his right. but landed some lefts against
Jefford's nose and mouth when the lat
ter was coming in.
There was more wrestling than box
ing I'm the sixth round and once both
men fell through the ropes. Then they
proceeded to clinch and wrestle until the
bell rang

funace of a restaurant on Monday. Jan.

remaining eight. he says. were given ia
Kid Murray. alias Colonel Colmey.

Seton took the witness stand 10 deny
that he had swindled the Houston and
Galveston Interuroan Railroad company.
He was a lawyer out I'm Cleveland and
comes OF good Ohio family. On cross
examination Mr.. Garvan asked him IL ne
had killed his father.
IL did" Seton said with a voice that
trembled a bit 1--WE were out hunting
and / shot him accidentally"
Next Mr.. Garvan asked him II lie had
secured certain letters relating to niece
OF Senator Hanna and had blackmailed
Senator Hanna's brother out OF 5000
with them. In reply Seton said that this
had been done by his law partner in
Cleveland and that ne was not concerned

CANS REFORMING

Joe Cans. claimant for the lightweight
and welterweight pugilistie- champion
ships. says he is going to reform.
The rehabilitation OF the colored fighter
is not going to carry him out OF the ring,
but all his fights in the future will be on
the square.
With this statement made by the fighter
at Chicago yesterday while he tarried IN
the city a few hours came the admission
that he had "double-crossed' the sport
ing fraternity I'm the past.
The confession by the Baltimore boxer
makes the concluding chapter in the noto-
rious Gans-McGovern fake" perpetrated
in Chicago Dec. l3. 1900. and which prac-
tically put the sport out OF business in
Chicago. In talking Of his past ring trans
actions Cans asserted that he should not
be blamed for the fakes he had been mix
ed up In.
when / did not fight on the level"
he said. IL was under orders. | am not
under orders any longer and from now
on I will do what ! can TO make up for
past misdeeds.
81 find it mighty CALLING to confess that
| was ever mixed up I'm any shady deals,
but I might just as well open up. The
truth OF the matter is that whenever l
did not do my best it WIS the easiest
thing In the whole world to get next,
for the simple reason that ] could never
fake with any degree of skill
THE only way that is natural with me
Is to fight from the tap of the gong and
be in the thick OF II every second
THE fans solved the fight between Nc
Govern and myself. / simply could not
put any frills TO my showing. and every
body who saw the bout knew IL was not
on the square.
Now I will say that | did not do what
did in the fight on my own hook /
was under orders. and I will say right
here that never faxed a fight i'm my life
of my own voliton.
THE reason for these happenings was
that whenever | wanted TO get on with
any good fighter, my managers would
say: Joe. the best fighters won't meet you
because YOU are colored If you want TO
make any money, you will have to lose 10
the best Of them and whip the dubs.
Now despite reports 10 the contrary,
l can make 133 pounds ringside I will
make 1873 pounds three hours before the
fight for Nelson or Britt"
Cans is on his way 10 Baltimore where
he will try to straighten out his wifes all
