WOULD FIGHT NELSON AGAIN.
Joe Cans Willing to Meet His For
mer Opponent.


NEW YORK, February 23-Joe Cans.
the colored lightweight champion, wants
to fight Bat Nelson once more and then
retire. And the prospects are not bad
that these two fighters will have chance
to repeat their battle of last Labor day
with the outcome in question
Cans left Terre Haute yesterday for Bal
timore, and will arrive there this after
noon. He has made the statement that he
will not sign with Lewis until the fight
with Britt has been declared off officially
In this event Cans wants to fight Nelson
again, and then retire.
= The chances are that the Gans-Britt bout
will not take place, and the chances are
that Cans will not sign with Lewis This
leaves the champion open to meet Nelson,
and as the "Battler' has signified his pur-
pose of returning to America in March to
meet Cans, it is more than probable that
these two will be matched again.
All this agrees with the statement of Tex
Richard that he had hopes" of matching
these two again. And it is not improbabI
to suppose that such match will be the
next great event in the pugilistic world

about the game TO be able to figure ahead
just what his duties are. There's no reason
for any set of signals to tell him, for when
he's that thick-headed it's a good bet he'll
get twisted on any signal flashed. However,
when team doesn't work and pull together
by watching the game closely and by using
proper judgment-then the only recourse
left, or the best one-is to work through
signals and to develop team work in this
way by constant practice AS a matter of
fact plain batting and fielding have very
little to do with winning a pennant. Wheth-

work" or plain common sense, doesn't mat
ter much, but the fact remains that a
squad must be able to work together to
ever reach the top.
Work Together.
The man at bat should be the best Judge
of what to pull off. II the man with the
bludgeon and the base-runner keep their
eyes open they can each help out the other
Inside base ball is nothing more or less
than keeping your lamps lit,' as they put
1t in some exclusive circles, and then using
little horse sense on what you see. This
thing of signaling a runner to go down on
a certain ball and for the batter to hit on
a certain ball is all right If both men keep
their eyes open and work well together for
a common cause. The main point is for the
base-runner~ to use his Judgment and for
the batter to help him along. The man at
best one to say whether to hit 'er out or

and the unexpected can't very well be
duped out in advance.
Base ball Is sliced up into two divisions
offense and defense. The pitchers are the
bulwark Of defense, and when these are
going good the rest should be easy. Bat
ting and base-running are the features of
the offensive machine, and of these two
good base-running is the most important.
Base hits don't get you anything unless
they help to get the base-runner around.
Coaching is great thing from the specta-
tors standpoint, but in reality helps to win
few games. If player keeps his eyes
open he doesn't have to be told, and If he
doesn't keep his eyes open he isn't fit

is good deal like poker. The game
doesn't consist SO much in holding hand
as it does in playing a poor hand well. But
at that a good hand isn't to be sneezed
at You might hold three aces, but If the
other guy draws one card and shoves out
$500 you don't feel very strong.
