He's big chap-over six feet tall and
built in proportion-looks a great deal
like Old Cy Young in the box And the
things he can do with that little ball are
a-plenty. It obeys him like a we'll
trained child, and he knows exactly what
every bail he delivers is going to do for
him. He has speed to burn, and the
nerve Of a burglar-the entire combina-
ton of his qualities making him a star Of
the first water.

formed on his head during the winter

Gleason late last night closed arrange
ments for a twenty-round fight between
Joe Cans and Battling Nelson for some
night during the fleet week, probably on
the night of May H.

Nelson seemed willing, but his friends
put him UP to demanding forty-five
rounds. claiming he couldn't make his
best showing with so clever a boxer as
Cans in twenty rounds. Cans however,
declined to listen to such a proposition.
He wired to Ben Selig, his representa-
tive here. that he was too old to go
fOTty-five rounds and unless Nelson would
agree TO twenty rounds. the match was
off
Late last night Nelson agreed to Cans
terms, and temporary articles were
signed.
