HundredSLOOkOnWhile
Cans and Attell Go
Promoter Luke Marisch Hopes
to Match Kefchei and Lang
ford for October

Yesterday was an ideal day for the
busy fight fan to take short trip to
the training quarters of Nelson, Cans,
Attell or Moran and see one of the
stars in full blast working out for one
La Dor day and Admission day, two days
later All four Of them were at thefv
best endeayoring TO make a flash for
the benefit of the hundreds who were
there to watch them go through their
stunts. Each member of the quartet
of world renowned boxers made good
with his admirers and did all that was
expected of him.
Naturally the greatest interest CEN
tered in CrolTs gardens, Alameda, where
both Cans and Attell are conditioning
themselves for their coming ring en-
gagements. Not since the days when
Jim Corbett prepared for his fight with
Jim Jeffries in the same old gym has
such a crowd turned out to see fight
er perform at the transbay resort
Fully 1900 men, women and chill
dren We'd with one another for D.
glimpse of the once great champion
and his clever little sparring mate for
feather weight title. The fact that the
pair would hook up in a friendly mill
was well advertised all around the
line and as 1t was well worth going
to see the fans fell for it.
The once unbeatable old master and
the fastest little fellow in the business
went three lightning rounds TO the
delight of the multitude. To say that
Cans has lost any of his ability to
block, shoot out both hands and take
care of himself against clever boxer
would be doing Joe an injustice, for he
seemed to be there with all his old
time classy stuff.
Really he outboxed Attell. himself as
shifty a man as any one would care TO
watch in action. There was nothing
that Cans did not try. He used all
his old effective blows and he kept
Attell at "a distance with his marvellous
blocking and natural reach. In fact.
Joe made a grand gymnasium play and
took the fans by storm with his pretty
work.
Suffice to say that Cans can still
box. Now the question is: Can he
take any more gaff and can he come
back and make a stand against his con-
queror after the beating that was ad-
ministered to him not two months
ago?" These things will have to be
learned when Cans steps into the ring
against Nelson on Admissioquay. Box
ing counts for nothing against Nelson.
In order to make stand against him
Cans must be able to go the route.
1t will be hard to determine whether
or not Cans is there till the bell brings
him face to face with the champion
again. 1t is seldom that one Of them
comes back, but there are exceptions
TO all rules. Now it is up TO Joe to
show us something that We have never
seen before.

Battling Nelson Passes

Nelson when he fought Cans the last

under the impression that a great dis

Moe was so excited on the day OF the
battle that he forgot to bring the candy

the battle and wanted TO tear back

little longer. This showed how
badly OF Nelson was He was so much
himself that he spent his resting time
