CANS KNOCKS OUT HERMAN.
A Jolt on the Jaw in the Eighth Round
Does the Business.

Tonopah, Nev.-Joe Cans knocked
out Kid Herman. of Chicago, Tues
day. in the eighth round by landing
a vicious hook on the point of Her.
mans jaw. The battle was witnessed
by $500 persons, including many
women.
At one time a great actor said that
the %cruelest thing that could be said
of a performer was that he tried haru.
Without wishing to be cruel to Kid
Herman, it must be said that if any
fighter tried hard to win a fight it was
Herman. He, however, was not equal
to the occasion and Cans systematic
cally beat him down until he had to
be taken out of the ring.
At the beginning of the eighth round
the negro, feeling that he was safe
from a chance swing, attempted to
finish the job with a will. He fol
lowed Herman to the ropes several
times, but was unable to make con-
nections with sufficient force to put
the Ghetto champion down.
Near the end of the round he forced
the Kid to the ropes and landed a
straight right-hand punch to the body
that forced the Kid to drop his guard,
and Cans sent a singing hook to the
jaw, knocking Herman to the floor
face downward, where he was counted
out. It was the cleanest knockout
ever witnessed.
