CANS BADLY STUNG

Royalties.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. July 1O.-The

tween Joe Cans, the negro pugilist, Of
Baltimore. and Battling Nelson, OF
Hegewisch, H., champion lightweight

posted by each fighter TO bind the
match. and today Cans is a lot more
bitter than he was on July 5, the day
following his fight with Nelson.
The deal the negro received from
Willus Britt manager of Nelson, is a
lot tougher than that which ne received
from Nelson in the ring. According 10
agreement signed Nelson gets $4,000 OF
the $4,000 purse, win, lose or draw,
while Cans will have 20 be content with
$4,000. Nelson will have two-thirds

Nelson cleaned up $4,000 by his victory
over Cans in their recent battle, in

A case in point arose in the second
game on Wednesday. Burns resigned
after the fourth inning with Washing

strong. Falkenberg succeeded him, let
Chicago earn run In the seventh in

ton of collapse IN the ninth that Chi
cagO made two runs, tied the score ana
drove him from tie box. Smith took
up the burden in the tenth and In the
thirteenth went to pieces, allowing Chi

though the two runs above the one
needed TO win were scored on Mcbride s
error. Now, under the rules, Smith, who
started when the score was tied, IS

The whole subject of scoring winning
and losing pitchers IS coming To the
front more strongly than ever nova
days because of the policy Of managers
in changing slabmen when they show
signs Of evaporating. At present the
system is so poor that the figures are
practically worthless. For instance,

Baron Takahira Tells of Excellent Rela-
tions Between Japan and america

Rome, Jan THE ''Tribuna' in article on the
cruise Of the American battleship feet to the Pa
cihc expresses the opinion that President Roosevelt
perhaps, mistaken in ordering it. ''n view Of
the excitement it has aroused in the United States
both the part of the people and the press" The
paper quotes Baron Takahira. the Japanese Min
lister to Italy. saying:
The Japanese government Loyalty maintains its
promise to do everything possible to diminish emf
grafton to America, as we have no need to send
off superfuous population, even after the
Japanese emigration. much the Italian
emigration. has been the result of special conditions
IN certain regions. and ii has been augmented by
the desire to seek better opportunities and the de-
sire for adventure and, in addition, intending emil
grants have been ably seconded by the agents of
the navigation companies.
Although 1 lacking official news, know that
the relations between Japan and the United States
are excellent The dispatch of the American fleet
the Pacific cannot more than merely interest u.s.
San Francisco being thousands of miles from Japan
The 'Tribuna" also publishes an interview with
Lloyd c. GrisCom the American Ambassador to
Italy who attributes the increase of Japanese emil
grants to California TO its enormous development
He points out that the population of Japan is in
creasing at of 100000 annually, but believes
that the Japanese government is sincerely striving
to prevent growing population from annoying
other governments. by opposing emigration so far
as it can but always successfully The Ameri-
can government, he AYERS, is thoroughly satisfied
with its relations with the Japanese government
