CANS MUST MAKE
THE WEIGHT

TONOPAH, Dec. 17.-There
seems to be an impression among
sporting men who are not thor
oughly acquainted with the condi-
ton surrounding the signing of
articles for the Gans-Herman con-
tests that Cans is going to come in
over weight and forfeit $4,000 out
OF his end of the purse. This i'm
preston Is erroneous, as it is a
settled fact that Cans must make
the required weight (133 pounds
two hours before the contest
opens) or there will be no fight.
This is the ultimatum issued by
Manager Lewis with the sanction
Of Kid Herman.
The peculiar clause in the arti-
Giles in regard to the making of
weight and the forfeit to the club
of $4,000 by each of the fighters in
case of non-appearance, contains
more than one niger in the wood
pile" When the first dispatches
wwent out after the signing of the
articles it was thought that Cans
had the privilege of appearing at
overweight and that Herman
would have to fight. This is not
correct. The fact was overlooked
that, should Herman refuse to
fight Cans at overweight, the Ca.
sino Athletic club will claim not
only the $4,000 forfeit money be-
longing to the Kid, but will also
collect the $4,000 which has been
deposited by the champion for ap-
pearance.
1t Is hardly anticipated here that
Cans will try to come in over the
weight specified, as any hitch in
the holding of the fight will mean
a great deal more to him than to
Herman.
