SECOND ROUND.

Nelson deliberately fouled Joe Cans in
the forty-second round of the best and
longest fight seen in this country in
many years. Both men were tired
when the fight ended, but Cans was
apparently the stronger. He was away
ahead on points and had smashed and
cut Nelson all through the fight with
out being badly hurt himself.
Shortly after the forty-second round
commenced the men were In their
usual clinch. Nelson had his head on
Cans shoulder and arm down. Sew.
oral times he hit Cans below the belt,
apparently feeling for a vital spot. At
last he drew back his right arm and
hit Cans a vicious blow square in the
groin. The colored boy sank to his
knees and rolled over on his back.
Referee Siler, without hesitation, or.
dered Nelson to his corner and award
cd the fight to Cans On foul.
All through the long contest Nelson
had employed rough tactics. He re-
peatedly butted Cans and had to have
his head hauled away by the referee.
The purse amounted to $33,5OO, Of
which Nelson received $22,600, and
Cans $1,000.

which was the record.
The formal opening exercises took
place at II o'clock, when the mag
