CANS AND BURNS
TAKE THINGS EASY
BOTH FIGHTERS REST UP FoF
TOMORROW NIGHT
Champion Goes for Auto Ride with
Manager in Afternoon and
Hears Phil Stebbins
Before Lunch

Yesterday was one of comparative rest
at both the Cans and Burns training
camps and the fighters who are to bat
tie in the Maud junction ring tomorrow
night took things as they came. But
little real work was INDUCED in, although
Jimmy Burns, in his own irrepressibly
strenuous way, had to get little exercise
or die.
Quite a crowd went out to the lakewood
| inn to see Cans perform, but the cham
pion disappointed his admirers by not
appearing His manager, Ben Selig, put
in an early appearance, and he took the
negro boxer for a ride in his machRe.
Cans was out until half-past 4, and when
he finally returned to the hotel and
weighed it was found unnecessary to do
anything toward weight reducing.
''Gans is certainly nicely trained, said
Willie Keefe IF he went out on the
road much more he would soon be down
to the 131 pound mark, and this would
never do He is just where we want
him. and when the time for weighing In
for Burns comes he will be there like a
| bull"
| Joe spent an easy morning at Jack
Doyle's hotel and did nothing but loll
around Phil Stebbins, the one and only
piano FOUNDER in the business, shot out
few jolts of grand opera and the cham
| pion was kept DuSy dppIduulil5 hiS oiA
usually clever efforts When Cans seemed
little tired of the real stuff Phil tore
loose with his ragtime repertoire and
kept Joe shutting his feet until it was
quitting time.
Jimmy Burns also had an easy time OF
| it and was more than tickled when he
was told that Tommy Burns would be in
on the evening train. The little chal-
lenger has been worried because of the
big fellows absence, and now that he is
on the ground Jimmy is much relieved
McCarey and Jeffries will visit Burns
at Long Beach today and the referee Will
instruct Jimmy in thehules which are to
hold sway tomorrow night. 1t will be
expressly stipulated that anything not
in the Queensberry dope will be decided
by Jeff and that his word will be law In
everything.
| On Friday the same stunt will be per-
formed for the benefit of Cans. The
champion will stay at his lakewood Inn
quarters until the evening of the battle
and then he and his retinue will come
to the city and prepare for the final
ordeal.

HUNTERS PURCHASE
SHELLS FOR DUCKS
CARLOAD OF ANN UNITION FOE
LOCAL HOUSES
Season for Web-Footed Ones Close at
Hand and Preparations for
Opening Are Being
Rushed

Nearly a carload of shells have come
into Los Angeles during the past week,
and have been distributed among the
various sporting goods houses for sale to
hunters who will wander out to try and
get the limit of ducks on the first OF
October, when the season opens. AND
scarcely had the shells arrived when
hunters began to pour into the stores 70
lay in their stock.
Early in the week the hunters com.
menced to line up at the counters of the
various sporting goods stores, demanding
shells, decoys rubber boots, hunting
clothes and a thousand other things use
full in pursuing the web footed fowl re-
ported to be SO abundant in neighborine
ponds and marshes this year. When II
comes to shooting ducks expense is an
item that Is not to be considered. Tnose
80 ducks are worth their weight in gold
to the Jealous hunter who goes out on
the first day of the season intent on
bagging the limit.
Seven hundred cases of shells were
received yesterday evening by the Tufts
Lyon Arms company The entire office
force had to be called out to get the
cartridges into place for delivering them
to customers. Louis Breer spent the day
heaving boxes of shells off the trucks into
the store, while other members of the
firm took off their coats and handed out
the bird shot to the duck hunters.
Many parties have left for the gun
clubs to prepare for the initial shoot of
the season All members of the many
clubs are expected to be on hand for the
first days shooting, and after that they
will go down to the clubs in groups.
Dozens of automobile parties are pre-
pairing to leave the city the day before
the hunt.
Club members will agree not to COM
mence shooting until stipulated hour
or until a certain signal is given. If
any member gets restless when the ducks
come too near him and shoots before
time he will be fined. Mud hens are not
to be counted in the days bag, so If any
amateur hunter gets any of these un-
savory fowl he need not get excited and
jump in the water with his clothes on
to retrieve them ~

tween Burns and the champion lot of
sports thought he was joking. They
could see no fight between the up to now
mediocre Burns and the past master of
prize-ring etiquette Joe Cans, But Mac
was serious all right, and the result of
his "sagacity" will be seen tomorrow
night. At present he thinks Burns will
win.
OF course, we all know Burns has a
chance, for any boy with a punch and
his own fair share of what is called
gameness may accomplish much. Conf
dence is also an asset which must always
be rated above par, and Jimmy possesses
this in marked degree.
The wise ones have been telling that
story about dope being all to the rough
when it comes to figuring winners, but it
only works this way in rare instances.

SHIRT FRONT
Near Champion Says He Was Greeted
by Finest Band in Canada
When He Visited His
Home Burg

Tommy Burns with a seven-pound
bunch Of Kohinoir concealing most Of
his shirt front, arrived in town last
night to takea hand in the proceed
ings incident to the Jimmy Burns Cans
set-to Friday night. The close-to
champion was glad to get back, and
in the diplomatic way he has developed
since he whipped Bill Squires, Tommy
carried his pose of champion excep-
tionally well.
Everybody who goes away always
springs story about being glad to
get back to Los Angeles" said Tommy
last night, land If they feel as l do
there is some sincerity in the remark.
/ had a most successful tour in the
east, and was well received all along
the line.
"And what do you think the people
in my home town, Preston, Ontario, did
for me? They had parade in my
honor, and it was about the biggest
thing the place ever did. The finest
band in Ontario was at the head of the
line and l was certainly the candy.
When I showed at night the theater
was filled, and about zoe were turned
away And to think / was only charg-
ing them a quarter" Here the near
champ interrupted himself to figure
how much more he would have made at
double the price Of admission
Tommy will be at the head of things
in Jimmy Burns corner when the latter
essays to take the championship away
from Cans tomorrow night. The
lighter member of the Burns firm
thinks there is no one like Tommy
and in all probability his presence Will
help Jimmy over the attack of stage
fright, which might appear when Cans
lines up against him at Maud Junction
Since he left here Tommy Joined the
real magnates and is now member OF
the benzine consumers union. He
purchased a big Winton machine In
Detroit, and is expecting it to arrive In
about week. Then JEFF, Morley, Nc
Carey and the rest of the bunch will
have company in their daily rambles.

JACK TWIN AND souIREs BOX
BEFORE MANY SPECTATORS

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Is. - Jack
Twin) Sullivan is rapidly getting into
shape for his glove contest with Austria
liam 'tBill.' Souires.
Assisted by his brother Mike he yester-
day gave a fine exhibition of boxing and
gymnasium work at his training quarters,
and tomorrow will repeat the performance
for the benefit of the lady visitors.
This will be the last occasion on which
sparring will be part Of the afternoon S
work. Squires. who still is at San RAJ
fael, also will eliminate boxing after to-
morrow. He appears to be in much bet
ter condition that when he met Burns.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-26

may give Burns the opportunity to slip
over the haymaker which he undoubtedly
carries in either mitt.
The first of these we must let slide, for
Joe has too much at stake to prove the
time honored saying that a leopard can
not change his spots. The writer has
been kept fully informed from all over
the country In regard to the betting on
this fight and were Cans to be on the
short end of the majority of wagers laid
he would not get enough to break even
should he, allow Burns to win
So we must turn to the chance punch
idea. Burns has announced that he in
tended to wade In from the minute Fat
AL changed the gong until Joe Cans was
lying PROSTATE in front of him on the
Maud Junction mat. This is good dope.
and the only thing Jimmy overlooked
was the fact that every time he bores in
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-26

the present case they would have to be
full-fiedged members of the Ananias club
to make Cans anything but a winner
He has whipped everything he tried to
whip, and his opponent has done ,prac-
tically nothing.
Until a short time ago George Memsic
was little better than a pork and beaner
around Chicago, who had but few vic
tories which counted for anything to his
credit. Then he came out here and with
the aid of friendly press and wins over
Charlie Neary, Montana Kid and Cyclone
Thompson--all of second-grade calibre-
was boosted into near-champion of the
first water.
And we have to wait until tomorrow
to have the tale retold. There are only
two things which can make Joe Cans
lose and they are lay down or bit
of carelessness on the negros part which
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-26
~ ~ 49, *s*s

Joe Cans will be there to meet him with
something nice and then get away before
the Streator lad can do further damage.
Cans has done this time and again
against better men than Burns, and SO
far he has failed to respond to the chance
punch which ends many a battle. This
talk about Burns being able to whip any
man Cans ever has may be all right,
but has be done it? He has not, for he
never had the chance, so that little line
of bull may be discarded as worthless.
But tomorrow night will tell the tale.
Whether. Tom McCarey will get all the
way from $4,000 to $4,000 for exploding
another bubble, or whether those who
spend their money will be on hand to see
a new champion lis now but matter of
hours, and from the present aspect 1t
looks as though the former situation will
rule.
