endurance unless Nelson should finally be
disqualified for his foul tactics. With his

Efforts In the thirty-second;.
TRY for a Knockout" yelled the excited
Nolan from Bats corner. Cans looked over
at Nolan and grinned. Nelson piled In with
a storm Of wild swings which were, for the
most part, blocked. Then Cans showed
how easy IL was TO land by drawing more
claret from Nelson's nose and mouth
Nelson was reeling from a punch on the
jaw at the end.
Cans had things all his own way in the
thirty-third round. He cut Nelson's face
TO ribbons with left hand jabs and battered
him all over the ring, the Dane for the
first time showing the effects Of the in:
cessant punching that had been showered
upon him. His seconds we're constantly
begging him to clinch, but Re seemed 20

Cans, too, showed signs Of WEAKNESS.
It was nothing but a wrestling match IN
the thirty-fourth, both men being tired
and stalling for new strength. The sun
was going down when the pugilists faced
each other for more wrestling in the thirty
nth. Not q hard blow was landed and
the crowd showed its displeasure by kissing
and hooting. There was a moment OF
boxing at the start Of the thirty-sixth, but
the hugging and clinching 500 appeared
again, much 10 the disgust Of everybody.

to Nelson Just after the thirty-seventh
began. Nelson missed a couple OF swings
then, and Cans woke the crowd up with a
rallv in which he landed a powerful blow
In the pit Of the stomach, which made the
Dane hang on until time was up. Cans
could not hit him at all because of his hug
ginR tactics.
Nelson bored in with wild swings in the
thirty-eighth and Cans appealed to the
referee about his rivals butting tactics.
Nelson got home a left to the jaw, which re-
suited in a series Of clinohes, the referee
having his hands full. Cans did all the
punching, what little there was Of II, in the
t~hirty-ninth round, Nelson sending back
a couple Of weak swings which showed that
he was in some distress. 1t was the same
thing over again in the fortieth, a out
pointing the Dane, h continued to hug
and clinch, at the same time pushing the
negro to the ropes. Cans protested in vain
to the referee about the Battler's rough
house tactics and the crowd seemed to be in
sympathy with him.
The forty-flrst was slow and tiresome,
no blows being struck, and the men being
locked throughout. The same tactics were
pursued in the forty-second round, but
just az the timekeeper was getting ready
to ring h bell, when the men were breaking
out OF a clinch, Nelson struck Jams q foul
blow below the belt near the groin. The
colored man slowly sank to the floor in great
pain and Referee Siler promptly declared
Cans the winner on a foul. The blow was
seen by nearly everybody around the ring
and there was not a kick OF any Kind over the
referees decision. In fact, Nelson could
have been disqualified earlier in the fight
without a protest from the crowd.
