REST DOES NOT
REVIVE JOE CANS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l2.-Several
sports who returned yesterday from
Hardin Springs. where Joe Cans has
been staying since his defeat by Bait
ling Nelson, give gloomy reports Of
the ex-champion's condition and the
reports are borne out by photos.
They say the excessively hot
weather In Lake county has had bad
effect Oh Cans. He is drawn. with the
face OF an old man. Cans picked up
weight at first, when the weather was
good. but lately, since the mercury has
run far above the hundred mark,
Cans has lost flesh until now he only
weighs 1874 pounds. He goes out
horseback riding and driving. but open
air exercise does not seem TO make
him rugged. He looks tired. and
lately he has lost his appetite.
Joe attributes this to the heat and
says he will be all right when he gets
to the sea coast next week.
