CANS DEFEATS
MIKE SULLIVAN
KNOCKS, OUT BOSTON BOY IN
FIFTEENTH ROUND
Negro Lightweight Champion Displays
Remarkable Speed and Wins All
the Way, Battle Never
Being in Doub'

by Associated Press.
WOODWARD'S PAVILION, SAN
FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-Joe Cans, re-
iuvenated, put UP the fight of his life
and knocked out Mike (Twin) Sullivan
in the fifteenth round tonight.
The issue of the fight was hardly IN
doubt from the first round From start
to finish Cans was the aggresSor ana
kept right on top of his man.
Sullivan made several brave rallies,
but he could not hurt the negro, and
finally, in the fifteenth round, series
of lightning right hand blows to the
Jaw ended Sullivan's aspirations and
Put Cans once more at the top OF the
fighting heap.
The fight was fast and furious from
the start. Cans kept within striking
distance of his man at all stages.
Sullivan was clever and game, bur
could not keep the aggressive Cans
away from him. Cans left eye closed
early in the fight and Sullivan kept
playing for it, but at no time did he
have the Baltimore boy in distress
In the eighth round it looked as if the
fight was over. Cans put in two rights
to the heart and a right to the jaw.
Sullivan went down, but was on his
feet in a moment but Cans went after
him. swinging left and right sullivan
went down again, but came up fighting.
He was groggy but game, and cool.
In the ninth, Cans went at his man
again. A right to the heart and a
right to the jaw sent the white boy
down, but he managed to last through
the round.
From this time on Cans forced the
fighting, fiercer than ever. In the
eleventh round he apparently played
with Sullivan, but did no great dam
age.
In the twelfth round he braced up
and sent some straight lefts to Cans
face. In the thirteenth Sullivan was
still strong and played for the colored
boys eyes. He landed a hard blow on
the stomach that apparently hurt Cans.
In the fourteenth round Cans devoted
all his attention to Sullivan's middle
section and landed half a dozen hard
rights,
In the fifteenth came the finish. A
right to the Jaw staggered Sullivan and
quick as a flash Cans was after him
with several more accurately placed
blows. Finally a left swing struck the
point and Sullivan went down and out
with his head resting on the ropes.
Cans impressed everybody by his
splendid air of confidence and his ag-
gressiVeness. His boxing was pretty
nigh perfect. Most of Sullivan's blows
were blocked and the way Cans used
his right with short swings to the
jaw and ripping pnches to the stomach
was a revelation. Sullivan showed q
great amount of cleverness and much
gameness. but at no stage of the game
was he a match for the Baltimore
negro. Sullivan, although punished Sc
yerely, did not lose his head. In many
rounds he was in distress, but Cans
with all his cleverness and fierceness
could not land the finishing punch
Sulllvan's failure to become ratified
under punishment was one OF the most
remarkable features of the fight he put
up. Cans was favorite in the betting
at the ringside

TOMMY BURNS DOG
WELCOMES HART
TERRIER GETS DINNER AT MAR,
WINS EXPENSE
Training Quarters Are Secured al
Santa Monica and Active Work
Will Commence Immediately
Ryan Wants to Fight o'Brien

Marvin Hart, who is to try conclu-
sons with Tommy Burns in the
squared circle this month, is wonder
ing whether little incident which oc-
Cured last night may be considered as
a good or bad omen as to the outcome
of the pending battle.
The big Kentuckian had just re-
turned from Santa Monica after secur-
ing training quarters and was lounging
with a party of friends in the lobby of
the Nadeau hotel During the course
of a tanning bee in pranced kid -
the fox terrier which is the pride of
Tommy Burns heart
Now KID Burns is very particular
about acquaintance and oVerlooks
any one who cannot pose where the
limelight glitters. The son of the blue
grass region seemed quite the real ar
ticle and the fox Immediately made
himself at home in the heavyweight's s
lap.
The frisky terrier, with his ornamen-
tai blanket has become in manner a
landmark along the Rialto and some
one remarked: THAT'S Tommy Burns
dog, Marvin"
Hart Immediately became interested
in the struggling canine and gave an
extra pat to the fox, which was en-
deavoring to caress his chin.
kid" Burns was evidently bent upon
extending a welcome from the enc
mys camp and yelped his approval Of
the gigantic dimensions of the ring
ster VINO has every intention of ad-
ministering a decisive defeat to his
master.
80 that's my opponents dog" said
Hart. "Well, he deserves a good din
ned for coming to see me-" Straightway
the willing terrier was led to the dining
room of the hotel, where Hart ordered
couple of chops to be prepared for
"Kid" Burns. A moment later the Wis
itor was contentedly munching away in
the kitchen at the expense of Hart.
Hart, with Tommy Ryan and their
party, left the dog at his banquet and
continued to the Orpheum for final
hour of recreation before the COM
mencement of training, which is sched-
uled to begin at Santa Monica this
morning.
Tommy Ryan is anxious to secure a
match with Jack OBrien and said last
night that he would post side bet of
$250O that he could beat the Philadel-
pha will-o'-t -wisp.
"I am in fine condition now after a
term at farm life and would like to
meet O'Brien. If OBrien will not fight
me for the middleweight championship
at 15S pounds the only thing left for
him to do Is to meet Hart for the
heavyweight championship In the
event that Hart wins over Burns"

$50 by the judges for carelessness In not
examining the condition of the trap
pings of his mount before going TO the
post Weinmann pulled up Allegiance
after going over the fourth Jump, as
serting that the stirrup slipped off and
he was unable to finish. The Judges
held that he should have examined
his outfit before going to the post, and
as Allegiance was popular with the
public the judges were of the opinion
that pulling up the horse was not an
act that could be passed by and put
the fine down against Weinmann. The

 iurics Slight.

An accident occurred i'll engine room Mo- 1 Friday morning which came near costing the fire department the loss of Old Frank, one of the horses that draw the hose wagon.
 He had been taken from his stall to be groomed when suddenly the brick paving gave way and he sank to his hips in an old cistern. The fire lad dies went to his assistance at once 5ut he drew himself out of the hole before they could devise means of raising him.
 It was miracle that his legs were not broken in the fall and he was lucky to escape with only few slight scratches.
 The cistern had formerly been used by the old Planters Hotel, but when that building was torn away years ago the cistern Was filled up and had been forgotten. IT. is thought that water seeping in lad caused the i'll to settle thus leaving a cavity about six feet deep.
 The cave-in will be repaired at once and in such manner that there will be nc further danger.
