Cans Best in Exchanges
In the sixth Burns landed hard to wind
and face. but after the cliuch which fol-
lowed Cans kept him at a distance by his
insstcnt jabbng. In both the seventh and
eighth rounds the fighting was of the SEN
sational order. The ughtweights stood toe
to toe and exchanged waIlops. but Cans al
ways had the better of the exchanges In
the eighth both men rushed to a clinch
Cans tried some mitigating with little sue
cess. In the break-away Joe got in a
heavy right to the Jaw, which hurt Burns,
who stalled and then came in with several
Wild swings. In the eleventh Cans held
MemslC off with his left and ripped "A right
to M"mscs body. At this point the crowd
Chferei wildly for Burns because of the
game fight he had put up. Memsic's face
was cut. his mouth bleeding and left eye
nearly closed. He stood punishment hero
ically, however, and never WINGED, but kept
boring in if he enjoyed it.
As soon as the bell rang Referee James
J Jefries walked to the center of the
ring and, ErasPing Cans left arm at the
wrist. raised the champions gloved hand
above his head as signal that the negro
had won the battle. JcffrieS decision, how
ever. was no surprise To the spectators who
througcd the Pacific \. c. clubhouse. 1t
had been Cans fight from the start. and
as The battle progressed round by round
he simply increased his lead, until at the
finish there was not a person present who
wvuid not have decided as did Jeffries.
Burns Was Cheered.
Despite the fact that Burns left the ring
a beat man. he received parting ovation
from the crowd because Of his game exhibit
ton. lie never had a chance 10 defeat the
negro title holder. but his Willingness to
come back. time after time. in the face of
the punishment which Cans dealt out, won
him the admiration of those who had
watched the battle go. the full twenty
rounds.
Cans showed all his old-time speed and
cleverness and defeated Burns just as he
has beaten his other opponents in the past
by his skill with his hands and feet. At
times his speed was little short of marvel
and Burns never found him In the spot
that he expected to when ne swung over
one Of his vicious rights or lefts. There
were those present who thought. however,
that Cans did not try hard to put Burns
away he did Nelson and Britt. On the
other hand Burns admitted to be a very
hard man to put out. and the manner in
which he stood up under the negro's con-
tiuUal tattering bore out the assertion.
TIL dra awning powers of Cans were shown
by the fact that the clubhouse was crowded
from r,ngSide to door and the management
easily Melted surplus over the $4,000
purse which was divided 5000 to Cans,
S2.Hp to Burns and 81 600 to Jeffries.
1t had been originally intended TO hold
the Gaus-Hurns battle on date previous to
the champions contest with Jimmy Britt.
hut the Illness of Burns caused two post
yOnementS of the bout.

WORK on GOULD BRIEFS.
Both Sides in Suit to Fight Hard
on Complaint.

Both De Larcey NicoII and Clarence J. Shearn.
opposing counsel in Mrs. Howard Gould's suit
against her husband for separation, devoted all
OF their time yesterday to preparing briefs to be
submitted to Justice Mccall on Monday. on Mr..
NIcolrs application 10 have certain allegations
in Mrs. Goulds complaint stricken out on the
ground that they are Irrelevant and scandalous.
Justice Mccall will take the briefs under con-
sideration and announce his decision later in
the week II is considered probable that no
matter which wins. the question will go TO the
Appellate Division The question OF whether the
allegations should he allowed to stand in suit
for separation IS considered vital by both parties.
and bitter fight will be made.
Both Mr.. NicoH and Mr.. shearn said yester-
day afternoon that the suit was at a standstiu
until n decision obtained Mr. Nlcoll has
asked for additional time. after Justice Nc
Calls decision to answer the complaint as It Is
framed by the court The suit itself will not he
heard until late In the fall owing 10 the crowded
condition of the courts. 1t is expected that the
next move IN the case after Justice McCalls
decision will be a motion by the plaintiff for ALI
mony She will allege that the income Of the
defendant IS 81 100000 year. and that she is
legally entitled TO one-fourth OF II. 1t is said
that in opposing the application for such large
amount OF alimony, the defence Will hold that
Mr. Goud's income Is only 100000 a year. A
referee Will probably be appointed 10 ascertain
what IL is.
In view Of the allegations by tho plaintfr
that her mail had been tampercd with, story
came to light yesterday which interested those
who have been following the case. 1t told
by close friend Of Mrs Gould. One OF the
servants while engaged in cleaning up a room
in Castle Gould on Monday discovered IN tho
lining OF a chair package Of tive letters. all ad-
dressed to Mrs. Gould. They had been sent to
No. S2t Fifth avenue and were dated October.
1904. Through the Fifth avenue address pen
ell line had been drawn and the address changed
to 40 1g5 Broadway. room 800. which is Mr..
Gould's business address. The servant sent the
letters to Mr.. Gould. who Immediately forward
ed them 10 his wife.
1t was said at Police Headquarters yesterday
that Lieutenant Frank Peabody would probably
be put on trial Thursday. The charge against
him VIII be making false statements to a SUI
ucro- officer. Ii is the common belief that the
matter will be allowed TO drop without serious
to any one concerned.
