Cans Declared Winner of Hard Battle
at GoIdfield.

Goldfield, New, Sept. 4.-Battling
Nelson deliberately fouled Joe Cans
in the forty-second round of the best
and longest fight seen in many years.
Both men were tired when the fight
ended, but Cans was apparently the
stronger. He was away ahead on
points and had smashed and cut Mel
son all through the fight without be-
ing badly hurt himself. Shortly after
the men were in their usual clinch.
Nelson had his head on Cans Shout
der and his arm down. Several times
he hit Cans below the belt, apparently
feeling for vital spot. At last he
drew back his right arm and hit Cans
a vicious blow square in the groin.
The colored boy sank to his knees and
rolled over on his back.
Referee Siler without hesitation or
dered Nelson to his corner and award
ed the fight to Cans on foul. Siler's
decision received almost unanimOuS
approval.

as much courage and tenacity as any
