Thousands Cheer For
King of Ring

No victorious gladiator Of knight
hood days was ever acclaimed by the
populace in more dtting manner than
was Battling NelF n yesterday after
noon when he returned TO his corner
after waiting vainly for the vanquished
champion of the lightweight division TO
arise. Once declared the winner by
Referee Jack Welsh, Nelson bounded
into his corner. there to be fairly over
powered in the embraces OF his sec
onds and crowd Of friends who had
already climbed into the ring.
'sOh, you Bat, you champion" issued
from thousands of throats as soon as
the excited multitude at the ringside
and in the bleachers realized that vic

He was the hero Of the hour. That his
victory was a popular one was attested

quished boxer as he feebly wended his
way through the aisle, but the demon
stration was sad contrast indeed to
the one of few minutes before. when
the cheering thousands made way for
the winner of the great battle.
Once in his dressing room Cans was
laid on his couch while his seconds bent
over him to render him what assistance
they could. The ever faithful Kid
North, Young Peter Jackson and Benny
Selig waited hand and foot on Joe,
while his wife tenderly pressed his
hand and helped wipe away the blood
stains from the bruised face.
The old master shivered like leaf.
His teeth chartered and his knees
knocked together as he lay on the
couch. Strong stimulants were admin
istered in the hope of reviving the
spirit of the defeated boxer, but he lay
silent save for answering the few ques-
tions that his seconds asked him as they
worked over his bruised form.
WILL QUIT THE RING

said Joe, sickly smile creeping over
his face when he gazed at those around
him. Never again will enter ring

Joe's time has come" said Mrs Cans
after she had recovered from the emo
ton that attended the finish of the
battle. Joe was the best of them all
for so many years that it is hard for
him to lose now. but I guess he will
have to make the best of it. Nelson
was too strong and too young for him.
That is all.
II felt that Joe was losing along

Sam Nelson, beat the new champions
sparring partner, Red Cornet, in eight
rounds The bout was scheduled for
eight rounds, but the police put stop
to it half a minute before the end OF
the last round to save Cornet from
further punishment. He was bleeding
freely and did not have a chance when
the fight was stopped. Referee Ttv
Kreling gave the palm to Nelson.
During the early rounds of the bout.
Cornet showed to advantage and kept
his left hand most of the time in Nell
sons face until he looked like a painted
Indian. The latter took kindly to the
going and plugged along until he
copped Cornet several stiff rights to
the Jaw. which put him to the bad

men bIed freely. 1t was Nelson's debut

Old Master Knows
End Has Come
Remembers Years of Victorp and
Says Career in Ring Is
Closed

Poor old Joe Cans true to life por-
trayed the fallen fighter as he lay help
less In chair in his corner after the
referee had counted off the 10 fatal
seconds. Bleeding. sore Of body and
spirit, the old master the hero of a
thousand ring battles and the con-
queror OF all the lightweights of a
decade, sat Imply, his head bowed
down on his breast and his ears deaf
to the cheering words which his friends
vainly tried to pour into them TO make
more easy the bitter cup of defeat.
AS the vanquished champion sat
silent In his corner while the multi
tude cheered the winner, there was one
at least who thought of him in his
hour Of need. This one was his wife,
who had watched the ebb and flow of
the tide of victory as it wended its
way through those IT stirring rounds.
Climbing through the ropes with the
assistance of several gallant bystand-
ers, the better half of the old master
rushed to his side and, throwing her
arms around his neck, fondly embraced
him time and time. For the first time
since the fatal 10 seconds had been
reeled off. Joe looked up and there
was a soft light in his bloodshot eyes.
sOOTHED BY HIS WIFE
Never mind, dear, never mind. you
are all right. You fought, like man.
Remember 1 am always with you,
said Mrs. Cans as she again embraced
her defeated husband. Joe looked UP
but said nothing. He understood and
he knew that he had one friend left
no matter if all the others failed him
Mrs. Cans waited patiently while
the seconds bundled up the bruised and
shaking man and assisted him gently
