HUMBLE BEGINNING
OF JOE CANS CAREER

BALTIMORE, Md, November al
most all pugilists have haa humble begin
nings but the career of Joe Cans the light
weight champion. is unique Cans began
us d cleaner OF fish in the Baltim )re mar
ket and would never have been in the
fighting business but for an accident
Several years ago well-kuOwn sporting
man went to Baltimore and induced Man
ager Herman TO run boxing shows in the
Monumental amphitheater after the rcgu-
lar performance: In order to whet the ap-
petite Of the crowd for some of the pre-
liminary and star bouts, a battle royal be-
tween negroes was cut on.
Although the sum offered was small, al
most every negro with fstic ambitions in
Baltimore entered. and at every show these
battles royal made a big hit. one night
Cans. who had just entered from work,
made an application to enter one of the
contests. lie was asked whether he had
any experience. ard he frankly admitted
that he had NOT, but was willing to Try.
But you know what these battles royal
are. don't YOU he was asked You We
got to fight and mix it up all the time. and
If YOU quit you don't get anything, see.
The negro was successful and created a
good impression.
After that tight Cans entered the pre-
limlnary bouts, for which he received the
munihCent sum OF s. whether he won or
al that time he had a sleep producing punch
which he delivered at random. His best
blow then was wicked drive for the
stomach and when il landed it was usually
necessary for the referee To count ten on
the negro's opponent.

CUE INVENTED FOR
MAKING MASSE SHOTS

LONDON, November 3-A rev billiard
cue which is likely to popularize the masse
shot-one of the prettiest strokes in the
game-among amateurs has been invented.
The masse shot is an American invention
made necessary by the pocketless tables of
that country, and Is in common use there
In this country it is frequently used by
professionals. but the amateur finds it too
difficult and very seldom resorts to it.
Even professionals lind that with the or
binary English cue they are unable to de-
pend upon the accuracy of the stroke.
This was illustrated few days ago when
Mr.. Harveston, while playing in an i'm
portant match, made the experiment of
playing the shot with the short cue. an
incident which has been widely discussed
in the billiard world.
Fifty years ago the only accessory in
billiards besides the table and balls was
a clumsy and badly balanced cue. The
rest was introduced later, and then came
the half and long butts.
The present one, when used in making a
maSse, Is about unwieldy an article as
any one could care to handle First it
is too long then, instead of the weight
being adjacent to the part where the bridge
is formed, it is i'll the butt, SO when at
tempting the shot the Gle Is continually
being over-balanced.
Another point which is of Importance is
the loss and damage to tips when the cue
is being held in perpeh iicular position
and brought down with d heavy jar on
the ball

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. November 3.-Dr.
Dudley Sargent, director of the Hemen-
way gyuna stun at Harvard. has invented
new game very much like basket ball, and
he will soon begin some experimental games
with it. The teams to play the game Will
consist of twelve or sixteen men. prefer
ably sixteen, and play will be held in a
field 100 feet square.
There are to be four goals. one on each
side of the square, the two opposite ones to
be defended by the same team The field
is marked off with a twenty five-foot square
in each corner. and a fifty-foot square In
the middle. The remaining four spaces IN
front of the goals, twenty-five by hfty feet,
are to be occupied by two goal tenders ana
two opponents. In the center square there
are to be four men from each team, ana IN
each corner square one man from each
team. The players are not allowed 10 ieaVe
their assigned spaces. The rules or the
game are very much like basket ball. eX-
cept that the kinds of goals and methods OF
scoring are entirely different. DR.. Sar-
gent hopes to get up game OF much more

HORGAN GIVES UP THE
POOL CHAMPIONSHIP

ST. LOUIS, Mo, November 3.-The re-
trement Of John Morgan and his surrender
Of the worlds championship pool emblem
by forfeiture to jerome Keough of Buffalo
forms a unique feature Of pool playing.
In his statement Horgan says I'm my
retirement it is not that I fear results of
competition with any possible challenger
for the trophy. bu. simply because its reten-
ton necessitates almost constant practice
on the part of the holder. This is too much
to ask of player.
For Instance. if l played Keough and
won / wo I'D then have to play De ORC, and
after the Cuban would come Clearwater.
Sherman AID probably others. so that my
entire time for the billiard year would be
occupied, it being necessary to answer
every challenge within ten days and to play
within forty from it's date.
at present \ have a good position here
and an excellent opportunity to enter and
win the three-cushion tournament at the
St Louis Grand in November To play
Keough would cause me 10 give up my po-
sition and chance in the other tournament.

NOVEL SCENE AT TRACK
INCIDENT AT THE LEONARD
TOWN MEETING.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LEONARDTOWN. Md, November :. 1906.
The second days attendance at the meet
ing OF the st. Mary's Racing Association at
this town was a record breaker. The track
was faster than yesterday The sport was
excellent and keenly enjoyed.
At the close of the frec-for-all trot
pace Mr.. James Morrow, driver and trainer
of Bedworth Jr.. and Mr.. James Byrn, own
Of JuraSh, both of whom are old-tfme
trainers and drivers, We're called to the
stand by the judges and introduced by
Starter Sale to the gathering being, with
two exceptions. perhaps, the oldest in the
profession. and they were received with
loud and continued applause. Mr.. Morrow.
in acknowledgment of his kind reception,
informed the gathering that he was not an
orator. but would give an imitation of
singer, and sang one verse OF IN the Good
Old Summer Time and was loudly cheered
by the men and rewarded with the fiutter-
ing of handkerchiefs by the ladies. Mr..
Byrn said he could not sing. but could whis-
tie but unfortunately he had swallowed his
false teeth at lunch and begged his hearers
to excuse him.
The 3-mnute trot was handily won by
Little Miss, after Nancy won the first heat.
Combs had great difficulty again in keeping
Happy G. in his stride and had to be con-
tented with third money.
The interest of the day was centercd in
Byrn's Jurash and Javens Brothers Bed
worth, Jr and Bedford Boy answered to
the call of the bell. The real contest was
between Jurash and Bedford Boy, as no
effort was made to beat Bedworth. Jr., as
he in every way outclassed his field and
won about as he pleased in straight heats.
After much tedious scoring on account OF
the fact that Jurash refused to come down
to the wire on the trot, Mattingly got the
hang of the bay gelding and they got the
word well together. with Jurash at the
pole The eighth was reached at 10 clip,
with the field well punched. When straight
ened out on the backStretch Bedworth took
command with Jurash two lengths ahead
of Bedford Boy which distance was main
tanned between the pair to the head of the
home stretch second time around. Here
Waters began to team the Boy in earnest,
but Jurash held him safe and beat him by
two lengths at the wire. The time of the
mile 229a was the fastest ever paced or
trotted over the track, and which was equal
to 3 % over a good regulation course. Bed
worth Jr. paced the second heat, how
ever half second better-2 29la-and
Jurash trotted the heat very close to 2.39.
Bedford Boy made. a game struggle for
place and was beaten only short neck.
The third and last heat was a corker be-
tween the Boy and Jurash. the latter lead
ing about a length until within fifteen feet
of the wire, when Waters shook up the
hoppled roam and got the place by short
head The heat was In 2.30h and reused
the widest enthusiasm among the Specta-
tors.

DANGERS OF BASE BALL
AND FOOT BALL

ITHACA. N. Y, November 3.-On the
subject of foot ball fatalities the Cornell
Sun prints the following:
The enemies of foot bail point each year
to the number Of deaths attributable to this
game as a main point of difference between
this sport and the others. They do not seem
to realize that other popular sports intro
duce the element Of danger also and prob
ably to great degree.
For instance, the figures collected by
the Brooklyn Citizen regarding the number
of base ball deaths in the east alone this
year would seem to indicate that base ball.
contrary to the popular behef, is a lar
more dangerous pastime than foot ball.
Twelve base ball players we're killed dur
ing the last season through actual particl-
patton in the game. Besides this NUMBER
a dozen spectators were killed In falling
off roofs or by some, similar accident. This
list is much larger than the eastern foot
ball casualties of last year..

MAY CLOSE TIE SHOPS
PROBABLE EFFECT OF CldAh-
MAKERS DEMAND.
Manufacturers Declare They Cannot
Pay Higher Wages-Meetings
Held Last Night.

From what is believed to be reliable In
formation 1t may be stated that the cigar
manufacturers Of the District will not &C
code to the demands of the cigarmakers,
who, as was stated exclusively in The Star
several weeks ago, had decided to ask for
an increase of the scale of wages.
During the past week a committee from
the Cigarmakers' Union called on the man
ufacturers and stated that they would give
them until Monday morning, November o,
to grant the demand of the union for an in
crease in wages. TIL S the manufacturers
claim is not time enough in which to con-
slider the matter and they asked the union
TO give them one week longer. Whether
or not additional time was given is not
stated.
A meeting was held last night at which,
it is stated the manufacturers decided that
they could not grant the increase, owing
to the high price of tobacco ana TO the
small volume of business in the manufac-
ture of cigars in this city. They say that
if the cigarmakers push the demand II win
break up the manufacture or cigars III the
District which has grown steadily the past
five years -.
The cigarmakers held meeting last
night on It'll street. between u ana
streets ut which the question was tnor-
oushly discussed. but it could not De
learned definitely what action was taken.
The cigarmakers ask for an increase OF 20
cents to 1928 on each thousand cigars
manufac tured.
what Manufacturers Say.
The manufacturers have decided. 1t Is
said that if the operatives do not grant the
extension of time for the consideration OF
the increase they w IL close their shops.
They state that of all of, the cigars sold in
this city less than 10 per cent is union and
that they can handle other goods. If these
shops are closed down. it is stated, the
cigarmakers will not be able to obtain as
high scale of wages in any other city
as they have been paid here. One of the
manufacturer has. it is stated, been pay
ing 81 more per thousand than the regular
scale
1t is alleged that the makers of the
cheaper grade of cigars are perfectly sat
isfied with the rate of pay, but that three
men of the union who were working on the
higher grade, or invincible, cigars demand
ed the increase and took it before their
union which referred it to the national
body. The latter notified the union a week
ago that the application for increased
wages had been Endorsed.
II the cigarmakers go on strike, as they
propose to do in case their demands are not
granted it will mean the closing of eight
cen or twenty shops in this city and will
put about ninety-f five men out of employ
ment.
