weight OF the world even Il his skin is

is not only on the level a fighter, but
morally Is above the average man In the

or that Cans adorns the little black one
Is held up in a favorable light even though
he can never hope 10 enjoy the personal
popularity of Jack McAuliffe or Frank
Erne or George Lavignc or some others Of
Discussing the four men. Baltimore
newspaper man says:
Jack McAulitfe, George Lsvigne and
Frank Erne were the men who starred
during the years preceding Cans acces-
sion TO the throne Take any one of these
great lighters, take him al his best and
study them all. from every angle, and then
see u the negro would not have been too
much for them. And yet what a royal
night they would have given him.
Jack McAuliffe, the most popular Of all
the Ightweights, a prince of good fellows,
SniS also SS marvel Of s9ience ring general
when at his very best, have beaten Cans.
for there is no trick OF Cans repertoire
that McAuliffe did not know while he was
as the negro and possessed of wonderful
endurance. McAuliffe and Gans, both at
lightweight battle, but Jack left tho roped
arena long, long ago.
"Lavigne was a fighter of a totally diff
I ferent type from either McAulifTe or Cans.
He was different Ia physique and stature
and different In fighting style. Lavigne had
little OF the science or beauty of tactics
shown by Cans or McAulifte. III agrees
slveness and rugged strength he was much
IKE Battling Nelson, but his lighting was
showier and more sensational, invariably
provoking thundcrs OF applause. Next To
McAuline Lavigne was the best liked Of
all the lghtweights. He was also ono OF
the smallest, being no bigger than many
men who style themselves feather weights
today He was about the size OF Charley
Neary and could do 1873 at the ringsde with
greatest ease. ..- D.
Frank Erne. who succeeded to the light
weight glories after Lavigne slowed up,
was tall and rangy for lightweight and
master OF science, though not knock
out slugger. He once defeated Cans and
was in turn beaten, by the colored man.
Erne was not strong as Lsvigne and
not as SNOWY as McAuliffe, but was a
brilliant fighter Just the same. His career
as topnotcher was marked by some ex-
cellent battles and he gained well deserved
credit though never acquiring the popu-
larity OF McAuliffe and Lavigne.
Cans. heir to the laurels of these great
little fighters, seems good enough just now
to have bested any of the three when they
were In their prime, but comparisons do
not make good. Possibly one of them could

sure, the black lightweight champion looks
good enough to hold his job for several
