By W. W. NAUGHToN.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. The
pressure Of Cans money made itself felt
yesterday and the betting against jim
my changed from 10 to to 10 20 .s1z.
The men who make a business Of hold
ing wagers account for this by saying
il was "the big money" awaiting in
vestment that caused the switch. Sew
eral commissions amounting to thous-
ands of dollars were placed with the
middle men by hackers Of Cans, and
odds were given to loosen up II neces-
sary in order to get action.
It. was q busy day at both camps.
Cans went over the fruit vale roads In
the morning and In the afternoon did
solid work indoors. he devoted his at
tention 10 punching the bags and pulley
weights and had an earnest session with
the big sawdust sack and other equip
nnent which permits Of a boxer testing
the strength OF his blows without fear
OF injury 10 his arms and knuckles.

TO g.
1t wasn't a quiet and lady-like retire
ment either The youngsters fought 70
their utmost and even this morning
there are many alleged disinter' sted OBJ
servers who claim that the winners were
clearly outplayed.
II must be admitted that Bethany has
had a streak Of hard luck. The Sunday
Scholars might expect when they enter
the baseball arena 10 encounter Occa-
slonal and likewise frequent bad breaks.
In the course Of human events IL was
not at all unreasonable for thesG 70 eK-
pect a fraction or these quips to work 10
their advantage. But not so. Three
games were lost by one rUl and each
or these was the result OF good luck
rather than good Playirg on the win
ners' part
Busy From the Start.
Both sides scored in the first Alloy
sius started the run-getting- Hoffman
singled, stole second, and advanced one
more on Mattingly's single. HaudibOe
and Fenton famed. Wooden threw high
% first, and two AIoysius runs were
chalked down. Davis went TO second
on the same error and tailed on Hess
Ter single.
Barnhart's pass, Gauegher's error,
ana Woods single were responsible for
Bethany's run.
The Capital City representatives added
another in the third Mattingly flied to
right. stole second. Handiboe landed on
frs. by a scratch hit, and Davis long
~ tllied Matungly.
u Cting gain scored Bethany IL the
fourth. and oil was quiet untl the
seventh. Bethany gave its opponents a
bad scare BY opening up a batting RAINY
that netted three runs before Finnigan
had the situation under control
The Winning Tallies.
Baggette opened up Aloyslus' half with
double to left and Finnigan' hunt ad-
vanced him 70 third. Finnigan started
to steal second, and while The ball was
in play IN an attempt 10 head him on.
Baggette went home With two out,
Handihoe walked and Fenton's single

run. Umpire Belts called the game at

TAD TELLS WHY
HE'S FOR CANS
Britts Fast Life Balances
Difference in Their
Ages.
By TAD.

AL
NEW YORK, Sept Jimmy Britt
and Father Time will rope Joe Cans On
Monday at San Fra7cisco and try 10
take from THE old master the laureis
which he has defended for the past I've
years.
Those who figure Britt TO win say that
Cans has been too long in the ring.
that he is due for a trimming and that
lie has lost the speed and stamina that
made him the marvel OF the boxins
world Battling Nelson did give him d
giueling fight at G5Idneld, but a few
months laIer Cans took on the clever
rid Herman and simply played with
him. He showed al his old-Lime cult
nIng, his cat like speed, and then knock
ed the Windy City scrapper cold with
one punch.
Cans Hasn't Weakened.
That was after the fight with Nelson.
Cans had lost nothing up 10 that time
What has he done in the meantime
which has Slapped MS vitality? He IS
no hard drinkeT he takes excellent care
OF himself and in all OF his ring battles
he has escaped with little - no punish
r1znt. Is there any reason IN the world
Why he should not be as good Monday
night as he was In the ring with Her
man AT kJnOpans
On the other hand. let US look al
Britt
They say he is as good as and pos
sibly better than he has ever been in
his life At no time during his career
could Britt class with Joe Cans. He is
an extremely clever boxer. but what
we might call harmless. He is q pun
Usher Ike Jack O'BTien, but TO knocker-
out such as McGoveTn was.
Britt Likes High Life.
Britt likes the high life. He is a good
fellow and can pack the grape away like
8 Pittsburg prince. After his defeat st
the hands OF Nelson in Colma, James hit
the high life very hard. He was there
at the big table like a duck and very
few ever put him under il. he took a
long rest in the mountains and came
back 10 Frisco where he OutpOinted Bat
Uing Nelson in a twenty-round bout
Like Cans, he has taken very little pun
ishment during his career. but whether
the wine agreed with him OF not remains
TO be seen.
Nelson never was boxer n
tWenty-Tound night he was aiv avs liable
10 be outboxed bv a clever man. but In
his last affair he was so Helplessly
beaten that he was a joke. Now
whether Cans put him 10 the bad Or
whether Britt is better than ever, Is
what puzzles US.
