BATTLING NELSON AND
JOE CANS COMPARED

The Indifferent method Of Cans training
and not permitting himself TO be knocked
into insensibility has cast some suspicion
on the Gans-Nelson fight.
Every knowing sport from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific Coast is wise TO the fact
that the negro is not above suspicion
The bout was arranged hurriedly. Cans
was telegraphed for and after he left
the East he did less than ST xweeks of
actual work. He cut out boxing alto
gether. and his daily exercise was not
such that would tend 10 increase a
mans stamina for a grueling battle.
Many Of the keen sports in Frisco
who were taking the Cans end in the
betting, wagering 500 20 SO on the
negros chances, and even money that he
would beat the Dane inside OF twenthy
rounds. demanded forty-eight hours be-
fore the fight that they be given a
glimpse Of the champions hitting powers.
To satisfy their demand a third-rater
was brought in, and Cans made a chop
ping block OF him in three rounds. But
the third-rater was not a Nelson. The
sports were satisfied. and down went
their coin or the negro. Now they are
speoulating on their forethought.
should Have Lasted.
The writer has some knowledge Of the
climatic conditions of the Far West. II
man can night forty-two gruelling
rounds in the baking, enervating tenn
perature OF the Sierra Nevadas in the
same physical condition seventeen rounds
would be an exercise gallop in the San
Meter Valley OF California.
The public must not be fooled with
the idea which is likely 10 be advanced
by the "sure-thng" sports of California
that Cans underestimated Nelson. that
the aDne was q physical wreck. and
pointed 10 the Britt and Unholz bouts TO
substitute their claim
Cans is too wise n even nibble al any
such bait There is a little more back
OF the Fourth OF July contest than that.
Another bout between them on Labor
Day at Colma might clear the pugilistic
horizon. Until then all judgment should
be suspended as TO rightful wearer Of
the lightweight crown.
Cans is only thirty-three years old
With no alarming organic weakness.
stood more punishment than any other
man in the ring to-day. excepting the
pugilistic freak. Joe Grim.
Result May BE Different.
II Is only natural to conclude that the
negro has one more good fight left in
him, and If the Dane returned the COM
pument and gives HIM /another chance. a
different story may be recorded.
Cans quit in two rounds to Terry Nc
Govern IN Chicago December lS. 1900:
won on an invited foul to Jimmy Britt
October 81. 1904, and in his bout Sat
urday was stll conscious while being
counted out.
Cans has often said that he never
would be fooled enough TO be cruelty
punished when ne did not have the
strength 10 defend himself. and that Il
did not exhibit any lack OF pluck when
man quit under these conditions.

TELLS UNIONS NOT
TO FIGHT OPEN SHOP

The address OF George A. Eastman,

from all sides. but he stuck To his
point. maintaining that he was right
The union made a great mistake
when II fought the open shop" he
said. 1T fell into a trap neatly set
by the employers. There are about
100000 union men in this country
and 100000 non-union men. When
the fight started against the open shop
Iit made these II 600, 900 non-union men
the enemy of the union and the friend
OF the employer.
When President Gompers was
turned down by the Republicans and
afterwards had his plank Endorsed by
the Democrats ii threw those l7,O00.-
600 non-union men against Bryan and
for Taft. You defeated yourselves"
The speaker urged the union men 10
cooperate with the non-union men in
securing better conditions, and not
fight against them.
Let the non-union man work beside
you. He is a fellow workman. Fight
for him and see that he gets better
pay and shorter hours and you have
made him your friend. AS 1t Is now
you have narrowed your fight to one

MICHIGAN CLOSE
TO BANKRUPTCY

State taxes must go up for the next
year or two. This is the inevitable re.
suit OF the present condition of the
state treasury. Even IL the common
wealth gets back all its funds that
were deposited In the Glacier bank in
Chelsea, there will still be a big de-
felt TO meet. At the end of 1909, be-
fore the next state taxes come in.
there Is almost certain TO be another
deficit.
1t is figured that the taxes collected
this winter will not suffice 10 carry
the state through the year. the last
ie gislature having Jailed to provide for
enough revenue. The coming legisla-
ture must, therefore. allow for the
deficits OF two years and also provide
means for borrowing money at the
end OF the year.
State employees and state institu.
tons may have to run on credit until
the taxes come into the state treas
ury. Auditor-General Bradley has re-
fused to draw warrants against an
empty treasury although Detroit
banks were willing II cash these war
rants and trust the state for their pay.
Bradley states that he does not FEEL
like taking a chance of Illegal action
Just at the end OF his term. He will
only take action on the written opin.
