Another attempt to wrest the light
weight championship boxing title from
Joe Cans has proved futile, and the
colored boxer is sure Of his laurels for
some time to come. Jimmy Britt, of
California, was dismal failure. The
bout, which was scheduled to go 20
rounds, lasted only five. In the fourth
round of the combat Britt, in an effort
to land vicious left swing, broke his
wrist. He fought the fifth session and
was outclassed, and was unable to re-
spond for the sixth on account of the
pain he suffered. Cans was then
awarded the decision. Who his next
opponent will be is matter for con-
lecture, as the champion stands alone.
If Britt ever was to hold the light
weight championship his friends
thought that his only chance was to
get it through his fight with. Cans
They gathered at the battle in large
numbers, and, despite Cans being the
favorite, they bet heavily on the ma
tive son. Before the encounter the
Californian gave his admirers lot of
confidence as he declared he was in
the best shape and that he felt sure
of winning. Taking this and his ex-
cellent showing against Battling Mel
son, the fans felt that he was due to
give Cans hard tussel. Cans showed
in the battle, after the second round,
that he was the better boxer of the
two. He hit Britt at will. His clever
ness and speed outshone that Of the
westerner, who was puzzled as to
what tactics to pursue in fighting the
champion. He had only two effective
blows to use on Cans. They were a
left swing to the body and right
cross. Every time he attempted to
land them Cans was present with a
strong defense. Cans used several
punches which were effective. He had
no difficulty in finding landing place
for them, and several times had Britt
dazed by their use.
Daniel Shay, the substitute infielder
Of the New York National League
club, is native of California and first
became noted as ball player in the
California league club in 1901. In 1904
he joined the st. Louis Nationals. In
that year he covered short in 81
games, and his batting average for the
season was .256. In 1905 he took part
in 70 games at short and at second
base, and his average with the willow
was .23S. Shay refused to report to ST.
Louis in 1906, saying he would not
come east on account of the climate
He played that season with the Stock.

FRANKLIN X. Lane on
Trail Of President
of s. P.
Attorney Frank .. Kellogg Retained
to Begin Proceedings Against
Railroad King-After
Coal Roads

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 4.--After
conference with President Roosevelt,
Commissioner Franklin X. Lane of the
Interstate commerce commission said
that before July 1 legal proceedings
would be instituted to compel e. H.
Hartman to answer certain questions
propounded him by members of the
commission at the recent hearing in
New York when the merger of the
Hartman lines was under investiga-
ton.
Previous to his conference with the
president, Commissioner Lane had con-
ferred with Frank B. Kellogg, special
counsel for the government in the
Standard Oil prosecutions, and it was
arranged that Mr.. Kellogg should rep
resent the government in the case to
be brought against Mr.. Hartman.
The proceedings to compel Mr.. Har-
riman to answer the questions referred
to will be brought in the courts of the
southern district of ew York. Wheth-
er the prosecution or the defense should
win the decision, the case is expected
to be appealed to higher courts and
ultimately to the supreme court of the
United States.
According to opinions already ex-
pressed by members of the interstate
commerce commission it may be a year
OF even more before final decision can
be reached on these efforts to compel
answers to the questions to which Mr..
Hartman declined to respond. For
these reasons it was announced several
weeks ago that the commission did not
intend to await the result of these pro-
ceedings before taking action on the
general subject Of the investigation of
the Hartman lines.

BOY HURT
BY WATER WAGON
Five.Year-Old Ground Under Wheels,
but Bears Serious Injuries
RraveIy and viii
Recover

Ground between the rear wheel ana
body of sprinkling wagon. 5-year-oid
Lawrence Gere, 433 West Fifty-sixth
street. was so seriously injured yester-
dav afternoon that for a time his life
was despaired Of. DR.. N. G. TreW was
summoned, and under his treatment the
lads condition improved, Late last
night the physician declared that, de-
spite his grave wounds, the boy would
live.
Little Gere, together with several
other lads of his own age, is said to
have stolen rides on the water wagon
frequently, proving a source Of annoy
ance to the driver. Time and again
during the past few weeks that indi-
vidual has ordered the boys Off the
wagon Yesterday, however, he falleo
to notice the youngster crouched on the
back Of the vehicle.
His first intimation that he had a
passenger was when he heard the
screams of the injured lad. In some
inexplicable manner the clothing OF the
boy had become entangled in rear
wheel, and before he realized 1t or
could make an outcry the little felloW
had been drawn between the wheel and
the body of the wagon. When the
wagon was stopped and the mangled
little form taken out 1t was round tnat
his right leg had been badly crushed,
the bone was broken above the knee
and the groin badly lacerated. Around
the wound the flesh hung in tatters,
and bits of clothing and axle grease
had been ground into the raw flesh.
The little fellow bore his injuries
bravely but for time it was feared
that he would not survive them. At a
late hour he was reported as resting
easily, and DR.. Trew stated that he
would in all probability recover.
Walter Gere. the lads father, is a
house painter. A little girl 18 months
old, and Lawrence, aged 5. are the only
children.
