1t IS the contemplation OF such chap

made Sullivan the first choice with the

But Sullivan is not so much of a favor

pupil in the school last night. and.
though the professor tried his best.
George Memsic was there when the finish

steady on his feet. but still as full of
fight as a Wild cat.
Incidentally. record-breakng house
saw one or the greatest fights OF a de-
cade. and when big Jim Jeffries hoisted
Cans glove at the end Of the twentieth
round, he put a period to one OF the
hardest fights in the history OF the
wonderful fighting machine-Gans. from
Baltimore.
Memsic Always Fighting.
The audience was on the chairs all
evening. Memsic never had a chance
az the long range boxing. but when he
let his hand fly the old master paid him
a compliment by the celebrity with which
he doged or side-stepped out Of range.
The showing made by the sturdy little
Bohemian was a great surprise. too.
When the bell sounded for the last
round, Memsic came up with a rush,
fighting like a little bull. He won a
gratifying position by staying the limit
and showing gameness in taking a ter
rife beating.
Winner Got $4,000.
The gate receipts were 1880, and It
cost manager Tom Carey just 1880 TO
land Cans, Memsic. and Jefrries in the
ring. Cans carried with his victory a
certified check for 5000 Memsic took
down $500 as his share of the spoils
and for acting in the capacity OF referee
during the twenty rounds OF hghting,
Jenries was handed a slip OF bank paper
calling for $1,000.
Cans Blocked Rushes.
While Cans received the verdict, the
negro did not score by any too wide
margin. and the crowd often came to
its feet in excitement over the manner
in which Memsic stood his punishment.

guessing and which made him unusual

The champion showed great sparring
ability and warded of most OF the at

took his punishment well. but early in

Cans took no chances at close quar-

Tom Hughes. After holding his enemy
safe for eight innings and allowing only
three. hits IN that time, he fitted far
above the clouds and Cleveland made
two doubles and two singles of him IN

plosion and resulting ruin were so home
