CAMS WOULD OUT.
However When COiicrS Get Low He
will Probably Return,

Joe Cans is out with II statement
that after the battle with Herman at
Tonopah on New Yeark's day he will
retire permanently from the ring. But
as Cans is not much of Il hand at saw
ing money it is probable that he will
reconsider such Il move when he finds
his pocket empty. AS long as there is
money in the land to be won with box
ing gloves in twenty-four foot ring,
so long will impecunious pugilists
struggle for it. There are many hack
numbers in the ring today because of
their inability to pick up a few dol
lars outside of it.
