CANS GIVEN THE
DECISION OVER HOLLY

SEATTLE, Wash. July 24.-Joe Cans was
given the decision over Dave Holly at Pleas
ant Beach last night after an interesting
battle that went the limit, twenty rounds.
Holly cIinched repeatedly and used his
weight to advantage. Cans had his orpo-
nent groggy in the last round. but could not
put him down. Cans had absolutely no
chance to show his science in clean fghting.
but was forced throughout the fight. to
tight the battle at which Holly is best. 1t
was not until the eighteenth round that Cans
began to make his weight tell on Holly.
Then he landed several rights and lefts
that drew blood and closed one of Hoiiy's
eyes.
Early in the contest Cans received a punch
In the right eye that cut d deep cash and
a little later Holly landed again, and dur
ing the remainder of the contest Cans was
f.ghting with one eye closed.
The last three rounds were the fastest
of the battle In the last round Cans landed
hard on Holly and for minute 1t looked
as If the Baltimore boxer would win
Holly's great strength came to his rescue,
however, and he was able to fight back and
bring Cans into clinch- When the gong
that marked the close of the fight sounded,
the men were cHnched.

Commerce Surprised NAVY

Commerce and Labor. 10: Navy, 5; War.
8: Justice. /, was the rather surprising re-
suit OF the double header on the White
Lot yesterday afternoon. Great interest
hung on the Commerce and Labor-Navy
game. as the result would put the winner
in the pennant running and would effectu-
ally choke the hopes OF the losers
Before yesterdays game both teams
were within striking distance of Agriculture.
and as they both had many supporters to
make the fight against Aggie for the ren-
nant the game was watched with intense
interest. livery man on the two teams was
on edge, and this over-anxie.y was in large
part responsible for the number of errors.
Both Kinney and Curnane were in the pink of
condition and pitched well. but the errors
behind Curnane were without exception
costly, and this decided the game. Be-
sides, the Laborites kept up their wonder
full run of timely batting, and nine of their
eleven hits came with the bases occupied.
Kinney was in probably the best form
displayed by him this season, and let the
hard-hitting Navy lads down with but six
hits. that came in pairs in three different
innings. each pair netting one run The
game was one of the slowest in point of
time during the season, but there was never
moment when 1t lacked interest. Neither
side obtained decided advantage until the
eighth, when the Laborites' threee runs put
the game on ice. Capt Harry Bryan of
the Navy made a brilliant catch of a short
foul fly to left In the sixth inning that
brought the spectators to their feet.
The Laborites went out in order In the
first on two strikeouts and an easy chance
to third. Hughes started the inning for
Navy with a single to left. Coleman popped
to short and Bryan attempted to sacrifice
with a neat bunt down the third-base line
that he beat out. Herbert, after hard run.

Hughes to complete the circuit Commerce

I,onewood Tennis Tourney.

BOSTON, July 24.-The opening day OF
the eastern championship doubles and the
sixteenth annual Longwood singles was
marred yesterday by two showers, which
did not allow all of the second round
matches to be finished and barely enabled
the doubles to be started. Despite the fact
that the courts were soggy from the rain
some good tennis was witnessed. Many of
the followers of the sport were disappofnt-
ed when Little defaulted to Seaver In order
tina. he might enter the doubles. The
match would probably have been close
one, and as 1t was Little did not profit by
defaulting. as he did not play in the after
noon. In the fourth round N. w. Niles.

Reggie in three love sets and by his play
ing he is regarded as a dangerous man for
the championship.

War outplayed Justice.

War furnished big surprise by defeat
ing Justice in easy fashion on the west
diamond by six to one score. 1t was a
fast clean game, and aside from the one
sided score furnished a lot of interest to
the fans. Donaldson and McCathran were
the opponents on the slab, and Don got
all the best of it. He let the Judges down
with but four scattered bingles and a lone
tally. On the other hand. McCathran was
touched up lively at times, and the War
riors put the game on ice in the first four
innings. The two doctors, Kleinschmidt
and Burbank. played brilliant ball for the
losers, and aside from that the game fur
nished little of exceptional merit.
