CANS GREAT VICTORY
Over Battling" Nelson in Long
and Bloody Fight.

Nothing has created more inter-
est throughout the country, (barr-
ing presidential elections) than did
the Cans Nelson fight at Goldfeld,
New, last Monday which was for
the light weight championship of
the world. 1t was game and
bloody battle but Cans demonstrat-
ed without any question of doubt
that he was the Danes master
throughout the mill and after AZ
rounds of fighting, the white boy
seeing no hope to win, deliberately
fouled Cans and the referee award
ed the fight to the Baltimore boy
who stands without a peer in his
fighting class.
The punishment which Cans
administered to Nelson left no
room for argument over the deci-
sion and sporting men of true-blue
character express entire satisfac-
ton over the outcome. Cans con-
ceeded every unjust point to No
Ian and Nelson which was very
unpopular to the sporting element,
but this only made the colored boy
go in the ring with a stronger de-
termination of coming out with the
title of lightweight champion.
The unfair tactics used by Nelson
throughout the fight was much in
evidence, but the foul blow which
he delivered in the last round was
the only damaging punch that
Cans received, while on the other
hand, Cans put up a clean fight
and beat his opponent almost into
pulp, the Dane being unable to
impede the blows which did the
work. In the 33rd round Cans
broke his right hand but he fought
gamely to. the last.
The colored sports of Denver
raised the lid off the Queen City
whsn the flash was announced;
"Gans wins" They had a regular
jubilee entertaining their friends
at dinner parties and taking on "a
few toddies, etc. This, however, was
at the expense of many white
and few blacks sports who
thought we'll of Nelson.
Just before the fight Cans re-
ceived the following telegram from
his mother:
"Joe the eyes of the world are
on you. Everybody thinks you
ought to win. Peter jackson will
bring me the news, you bring back
the bacon"
Mr.. Cans, through the columns
of the COLORADO STATESMAN, your
Denver admirers extend to you
the Bas~ of congratulation on your
victory and says that you have at
least skinned two whole hogs
Nolan and Nelson-and will have
plenty of bacon to take home.
