1897 The Goldhcld Athletic club had the
first s75000 house in the history OF pugi-
lsm.
The arena was packed 20 it's full ca
pacity before the fighters entered the
ring. There were at least 500 women I'm
the crowd that sat in the square beacher
that nanked the ring on four sides. Prac-
tically every women in Goldheld attend
ed the fight, and Judging from the ex-
preston on their faces the majority OF
them enjoyed the experience.
Both men were spattered with blood
and bore evidence OF punishment. There
were some women whose sensibilttles
were too delicate for such strenuous sort
OF entertainment and they left the ring
side before the fight was well under way.
The Goldheld Athletic Club deserves
great deal OF praise for the skllful way
IN which the fight was handled.
During the preliminaries there had been
chickering's. but the fight itself was getting
under way without hitch and within a
few minutes Of the time scheduled.
The crowd numbering 1000. many OF
whom had come thousands OF miles 10
SEQ the championship encounter. were at
the ringside early IN order 10 witness the
preliminary bout between Jack Clifford
and Bobbie Lundle for a $1,000 purse.
Nelson's sparing partner was so far
outclassed by Clifford that the fight he
made was a pitful performance He
went down for a clean knockout In the
second round a good many people got
To the arena at noon and endured the
scorching sun for six hours, In order not
TO miss any part OF the entertainment
There was a great deal OF interest In the
weighing in OF Cans, and there were sew
oral hundred people about the ring when
he first made the weight Al noon. Each
fighter weighed 1921 pounds at three
weighings. They made the final weighing
in at $40, when Larry Sullivan introduced
the fighters 70 the assembled throng.
Announcer Sullivan called attention to
the many celebrities in the sporting world
who had been attracted 20 this sun baked
dip OF the desert by the fight Among
them were Nat Goodwin. Jimmie Britt,
Eddie Graney. Jim Coffroth Willie Britt
Eddie Hanlon Jack Welch and hun

found I'm any great metropolitan city.
There avs no gun in sight. and the gen
eral appearance OF the miners and their
women folks did not differ from the cos
TUNES usual in thoroughly civilized COM
munities.
Larry Sullivan announced In present
ing the fighters that there were three
hundred deputy sheriffs in the arena and
that any disturbance would be dealt
with summarily. During the fight two
men were hauled out from the ring side
for indulging in lurid profanity In the
presence OF the many women present.
Sullivan said that there would be a fight
and great one; then he read a bunch
OF kilograms, among them one from
Cans mother. who said: THE eyes OF
the world are on you Joe, everybody says
you ought TO win. Peter Jackson will
tell me the news; you bring home the
bacon"
There was also a message from John
l.. Sullivan. In which he said. Regret

Sullivans." The veteran priZefighter was
well advised in his prediction; IL was

signal had ended the round. Both Cans
and Nelson declared as they took their
corners that If there was a knockout
there was 10 no throwing Of sponges into
the ring They would tell the referee II
they wanted TO be counted out.
Nolan accused Siler Of throwing the
fight to Cans and declared that the
referee was paid for IL. He also made
the absurd statement that Nelson had
not foued Cans. The blow was so pa
tiently fouled that it could be- seen 200
