WILL VICTORY MEAN A
RETREAT FOR ]. CANS?
CHAMPION AND MANAGER HAVE
DIFFERENT IDEAS
SeIIg Ready to Sign with ketcheIl
but Joe Would Like to Stop.
Leaves Here Sum-
day

What will Joe Cans do If the expected
happens and he whips Jimmy Burns to-
night? Will the champion retire as he
now avows, or will Ben Selig and his
tempting lucre prevail and Cans keep
on in the ring business?
Cans says the retirement is a go, but
from the looks of message sent by Selig
to Jimmy Coffroth he may be in the
limelight for a long time yet. Selig has
wired the San Francisco promoter that
he will allow Cans to fight Young Ketch-
ell at 145 pounds, ringside, in November,
and if the man who recently whipped Joe
Thomas can scale at that figure the
match may be staged.
Cans will be at reception to be given
him by the San Pedro street contingent
tonight and Saturday night he and Young
Peter Jackson will appear at a benefit
for the telegraphers who are out or
strike. He will go to Baltimore Sunday
afternoon, tarrying along the line by
way of San Francisco and the northern
corner of the Pacific coast.

FRESHMEN SUPERIOR IN
CLASS CONTESTS AT U. s. C.

The freshmen football aggregation of
the University of Southern California
again demonstrated their superiority over
all corners, at Inst as regards rival class
teams, by defeating handily a combina-
ton football eleven, composed of junior
and senior stars, in a fast exhibition of
clean sport yesterday afternoon, the
game being played at Bovard field.
The final score was 8 to o. the only
touchdown of the game in the second
period, after the babies" by repeated
tackle bucks, had shattered the opposing
line until it resembled Lees line of de-
Tense at Gettysburg on the afternoon of
the third day. Keogh, the esteemed con-
temporary from the law department,
was on exhibition during the entire per-
formance, and sort of sandwiched in be-
tween the two lines of attack.
AS a preliminary to the main event the
second annd third academy teams clashed
for two ten-minute periods in a closely
fought contest. the thirds eventually win
ming the game on a safety in the second
half. making the score to 0.

Champion Joe Cans Challenger Will Meet Ring Tonight
BOTH ARE CONFIDENT

TF CONFIDENCE means anything. the
nght tonight between Joe Cans and
u Jimmy Burns will last until the end Of
the world. Each man is so certain that
he will win that he does not give his OPP
ponent more than chance to stay a few
rounds.
s'T viii go in from the tap of the gong
says Jimmy Burns, the challenger, and
YOU can rest assured that will not stop
until Cans is down and out. He has a
great reputation as a fighter, but 1 am
not going to tackle his reputation, but his
present form, and 1 know 1 am better
man than he.
MY condition Is perfect. and should
happen to lose there would be no holler
coming from my corner. So II Cans wins
I will greet him as the best man in the
world. But won't have to do any greet
ing, so don't even think of that"
IT will wln," said Joe Cans, who VIII
defend his title as champion. II have been
in the business too long for young fellow
like Burns, and he hasn't chance to beat
me. Don't misunderstood me and think
that 1 underestimate him; but feel deep
down in my heart that he will be defeated
by me tonight I am in grand shape and

Tom McCarey that it would be impossible
to make the weight agreed upon. Web
ster was communicated with, and he
agreed to boost the figures three pounds,
but Bubbles did not want anything, and
the match was called off. Joe Smith was
substituted, and he and Webster will box
six rounds.
The preliminary will be called at Sis.
and Manager McCarey is emphatic in the
statement that the principals will weigh
in three-quarters of an hour later. Jim
Jeffries will referee the main event, while
Tommy Walsh will probably arbitrate the
points for the curtain raisers.
There may be hitch in regard to the
rules, as Tommy Burns insists that Cans
must not use his famous push" punch
when fighting Jimmy. Cans has a habit
of sticking his left straight out and rub
bing an opponents face with 1t. and
Tommy says the nix sign will be put on
this. 1t is up to Referee Jeffries to decide
this point, as everything not in the rules
must be cleared up by him.
The crowd tonight will probably be
worth more to the Pacific Athletic club
than any that ever entered the Maud
Junction before. Seats are selling fast,
and all indications are that the battle
will be the biggest event that Tom Nc
Carey ever managed.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-27

Less than three weeks ago he was as fast
and strong as ever. as his easy victory
over Jimmy Britt demonstrated, and in
the course of training for the fight to-
night he was clearly in the full bloom of
his career.
Cans is forced to confess to 81 years.
and almost half of these have been spent
in the ring His first fight in the record
book is shown in 1894 but it was two
years earlier than this that the negro
made his maiden appearance. He has
been fighting with regularity ever since
and save on such occasions as he laid
down no opponent6of his weight has been
found who could put him out.
Opposed to the negro champion is what
may be termed boy. Burns is but %
years old, and although he has been In
the ring for some time it was not until
recently that the public looked upon him
as a championship possibility. His fierce
determination and bulldog tenacity have
done much to win him many admirers,
and the few battles of class he has fought
show Burns to be Willing. .youngster
Burns most notable fight, and one
which is always pointed to by those who
lare boosting his stock was in Chicago in
May, 1904. Although the just mentioned
boosters refer to this as ten-round draw,
the Police Gazette record book speaks of
it as victory for Honey Melody, mis-
opponent in six rounds Still, lose or
draw, Memsic fought magnificent bat
tie against the claimant to the welter
weight honors, and he was by no means
disgraced when he went to the end with
the tough Honey.
But if Burns changes the complexion of
the lightweight championship tonight he
will do something that is entirely unex-
pected, and which will be as much of a
surprise to the general run of fight fans
as was the Corbett-Sullivan Jeffries-Fitz-
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-27

Both men were down to weight yester-
day, and Cans was the only one to make
pretense of working. He stayed close
to the Oakwood inn, and despite the ad-
vice of Willie Keefe spent almost full
hour in teasing the medicine bag. He
was. well within the weight limit, but the
very air at Arcadia set his blood tingling
with desire to do something. Later he
posed for The Herald staff photographer,
and then lolled around for the rest of the
afternoon, apparently WITHOUT thought
of today's big fight.
Strange to say, Jimmy Burns was al
most content to loaf for the entire day.
In the morning he took a five-miie jog
over the roads, and when he came in was
asked to weigh for the press. Jimmy i'm
mediately climbed aboard the scales, and
when the bar was shifted 1T registered
much less than 1874 pounds.
The long siege Of training is over, anu
tonight will decide whose energy has been
wasted. Burns will come to town about
noon and spend the time intervening until
the fight at the Hammam baths. Cans
will stay at Arcadia until o'clock, when
he will come in on the car and proceed
directly to the pavilion.
Bubbles Robinson became afraid OF
Danny Webster's game and at the last
minute he and the demon manager told

BY j. G. GRIFFIN
HRAINED to the minute and ready to
fight the battles of their lives, Joe
Il Cans and Jimmy Burns rest in their
respective quarters this morning waiting
for the time when they will face each
other in Maud Junction arena tonight.
Confidence is supreme in each camp, and
neither gladiator will have an excuse to
offer should he lose.
That the fight will be the best ever
offered by the Pacific Athletic club is not
to be doubted. Not the best as regards
the equal merits of the fighters, perhaps,
but from the standpoint of interest taken
by the public all over the country Cans
is a fighter whose reputation will last
through more than one age of ring his
tory, and his opponent is hailed by many
as the most logical candidate to strive for
the honors of champion lightweight of the
world which the negro now possesses.
While Burns, should the unexpected and
almost impossible happen, would be
champion Is case of victory the mill will
not be staged at the lightweight limit, 1873
pounds, ringsde. Both fighters have
agreed to step on the scales and keep the
beam from flying upward when set at the
135-pound notch, this figure being two
pounds over that called for in champion
ship fights of the past.
When it comes to figuring the fight on
dope Cans is without question called upon
to win. He has proved conclusively that
since he began to fight on the level no
boy his weight, or even near it, who has
stacked up against him could withstand
the punch which is propelled by those
brown shoulders nor match the cunning
which is concealed beneath a closely
cropped thatch.
So far the ravages of time have not
made their appearance on the champion

Burns is certainly on the short end.
Yesterday many wagers, ranging all the
way from $40 to $1,000, were placed in Los

figured on the long end at odds of 3 to l..
Tommy Burns took couple of hundred,

HOLD UP OF JAPS
NOT UNDERST TODD
ATTORNEY BRECKONs DOES NOT
SEE HOW THEY CAN FORCE
ALAMEDA TO DEPORT THEM.

81 ann at a loss to fully understand
the meaning Of the cable report from
san Francisco this morning, relative
to the immigration authorities holding
up japanese from the S. s. Alameda"
said L. $. District Attorney Breckons
today
THE cable stated that 200 of the ar
rivals from Honolulu had been refused
landing upon the ground that they
had come under contract. I am Of the
opinion that the Japanese going from
Honolulu to the mainland, can not be
refused a landing, upon such grounds.
So far as I can state, such action on
the part of the San Francisco officials
was not taken upon advice or recon-
mendatiion from Honolulu. Another
point that 1 can not understand is how
those japanese can be deported to
Japan. The Alameda certainly, can
not be made to take them, for she does
not go to Japan and did not in the first
place bring them from that country to
Honolulu"
