WELTERwEIGHT TITLE.

The welterweight champion and tn lightweight champion will meet to- night in twenty round mix-up in SsE Francisco. Mike tTwin, Sullivan. who holds the first title. and Joe Cans. who claims the latter, will fight. and in ad dition to the purse the winner will be dubbed welfcr champion of the world.
 Cans and Sullivan are two fighters wbo know about as mmch of the sci ence of boxing as any two pugs in the business. and to-night's scrap is ex- pccted to be brimful of fancy spafring. thrilling ducks and graceful sideSteps. Sullivan's cleverness is very much of the old-time sort. similar to the style of the lsmented Jack Dempsey. He has often been compared to the great middleweight.
 Joe Cans. who will probably be con sidered in years t0 come as the great est negro boxer who ever doBned a glove. has q more modern method. styie that in many respects l. distiBc- tireiy his own. He has been training with Nike Schreck. and that husky in- dividuzl has served ss a fine punching bag for the roonis lightning like blows.

A few years ago the republicans

infant industries are not only
standing upon their feet but walk
over everybody else's feet, so that

must be maintained for the benefit
of adult industries to enable them
to pay good wages but now we
