BUT STAYED LIMIT
WITH Joe" CANS

thirteenth round. Memslc ceased clinch-
ing. He rushed wildly at times and then
steadied into blows that had little effect.
Cans landed good blows from round TO
round but did not come near "A knockout,
in the last rund Memsic forced Cans TO
jump away fro his wild rushes but in the
last minute, Cans landed a right with
sickening force TO the stomach which
forced Memsic TO cling TO Cans gloves TO
keep from falling
Memsic Is practically unknown in the
East, but his performance last night Will
place him in the front rank of light
weights The bout was in no sense a
championship affair as the men did not
fight at the weight limit, i33 pounds.
The fight did not attract a great deal OF
interest I'm the East and Memsic has gem
orally been considered another ounce for
the Baltimore negro. although he gained
some prestige on the Pacific coast by his
whirlwind defeat OF Charley Neary and
win over-Cyclone Thompson.

Chiefly for the benefit OF those who are
buying Christmas gifts, Mr.. Kaufman was
influenced to hold his great annual trade
making reduction sale before, instead OF
after. the holidays. In this sale hundreds
of fine suits and Overcoats are offered
at honest reductions, and everything else
that's wanted in mans apparel is also
marked at special low figures for this
sale. That this opportunity 10 save
money Is appreciated by the holiday buy
ers is demonstrated by the crowds seen
at the Mans Store.
Mr.. Kaufman says the year now closing
will show a large Increase over the bust
ness of 1906. and the Mans Store expects
TO make even a more brilliant record In
the year to come. as business conditions
are fundamentally sound and there is no
scarcity of work or money In Washington.
