"I'll Punch You to Sleep on
New Years Day."
Says Cans.
DON'T WATT" SAYS KID
Fight Came Near Being Touched Of
Before the Time But Riley
Interferes.

Tonopah, New, Dec. 1.-THE first
display of ilI-feelng between Joe
Cans and Kid Herman took place In
the private office Of Manager Riley
this morning when the colored cham
pion and the pride of Chicago's ghetto
mixed it in q tiff of words.
The meeting this morning was not
the first between the two men who
Will try to beat each other to a pulp
on New Years day. Since the arrival
Of Cans there have been frequent
meetings between the champion and
Herman, but on these occasions all
seemed to be serene Everything APP
peared to be cordial between the fight
ers. but this was probably due to the
fact that no mention was made of
the coming bout.
Today it was different. Herman
dropped into the office while Cans was
chatting with Manager Riley. Are
you still loafing?" asked the Kid, part
ly in joshing tones and partly in de-
rision. You'll have to get to work
or you won't stand a ghost of a show,
added Herman, still addressing Cans.
Joe Immediately became nettled. I
can lick you without training" retort-
ed Cans holly. You couldn't lick a
postage stamp answered the Kid
sharply. This put Joe on his ear and
he let drive.
TIL punch You to sleep on New
Years day, that's what I'll do" said
Cans after he jerked his chair around
to face the Kid
Herman laughed in the champion 5
face as he remarked: You need not
wait that long if you think you can
Cans started UP with an ugly scowl
but Manager Riley interposed. locked
arms with Herman and carried him off
while Cans friends cooled off the Bal
timore fighter.

The Seattle challenge hardly had been
accepted when a telegram was received
from Spokane asking for game with
the Chicago team before or after the
Seattle contest. Captain Dornblaser is
considering the new offer, and it is
likely both games Will be played.
Principal Westcott withdrew his OBJ
| lection to the trip after a letter from
each Of the boys parents stating that
they were willing that their sons should
go We're presented to him. The word
was Immediately passed to the vari-
Gus members of the eleven, and for a

permission, said that as long as the
parents of the boys were willing to let

New Orleans, La, Dec. 1.-THE card
at City Park today was ordinary and
when the chief event Of the original
program, a condition affair at a mile,
was declared off and a six furlong sell
ing race substituted there was little
of attractive interest.
Despite the mediocre card the at
ance was far larger than was ex-
pected after the big outpouring on the
opening day. Weather conditions were
favorable on the one day draw in,
which it appears will prevail at City
Park. twenty-four books accepted posi-
tions in the ring besides the two field
books with open looking races the
betting was brisk.
The feature developed in the second
race, a seven furlong sprinting affair,
in which Charlie Eastman. who
scored an easy victory yesterday, was
favorite. The eastern horse. Firebrand,
was generally conceded to be the con
tender, and If either one of these had
been out of the race the other might
have won. AS it was Charlie Eastman,

Long Island, TO make up the deficit of
one lap which they incurred yesterday
when they doubled up as a reconstruct

failed to make a gain. All the riders
are watching this pair closely. and are
on the constant alert lest Walthour
and Bedell gain the coveted lap.
WaIthour Nearly Regains Lap.
Walthour came very nearly fooling
the field late tonight, when he gained
almost q lap after desperate sprint,
but unfortunately there was a spill
and, although he was not in it. under
the rules he was not allowed the ad-
vantage he had gained.
The score at midnight was 902 miles
and laps for all teams. except Wal
