Got What Was Coming to Him.

Got What Was Coming to Him,
One of the deputy sheriffs got a
little too fresh at the Air Dome
Thursday night. Wearing a badge OF
authority and a huge pistol he de-
manded a free ticket of Miss Smoak,
who was at the ticket office at the
time. The man put his hand on his
pistol in a threatening manner and
exposed its hilt to the young lady.
She was badly frightened and ran into
the theater where her father FORUM
ately happened TO be Without wait

him and gave him the worst thra5hing
that has been inflicted upon anyone in
these parts in some time. In addi-
ton to which he was fined SIS and
costs in the mayors court, and re
ceived no sympathy from any source.
The next morning everybody was
praising Mr. Smoak- The young man
was not only very much disfigured
but very much Inundated. If the pic

that in northern states, like Indiana,
where the negro vote is the balance

Opinions Vary as to Honesty of
Frisco Battle on
July 4.

There is still considerable discussion
of the recent Gans-Nelson fight, and
opinions seem to vary greatly. There
are lots of men coming around to the
opinion that with the odds 4 to l on
Cans there might have been some ar
rangaments made previous TO the fight
which might have included an agree
ment for another fight. The fact that
the colored fighter did practically no
training for the fight was a very sus-
picious circumstance, considering the
later development. One man who
claims to have had a seat close to the
ring says the fight was a rank fake,
his ideas being expressed as follows:
Permit me to call your attention to
one of the most palpable fake fights
the Nelson-Gans fight of July 4-ever
perpetrated upon an unsuspecting pub
lie. Having had a press seat, l was in
a good position to view the iasco from
every angle, and to me it vas plainly
evident there was nothing doing when
Joe entered the ring, He did not have
his usual characteristic smile or gallant
bearing. His face seemed to portray
the feeling within.
csc vi ma NilNtio liiR9 20
concerning each round, not once was
the real Joe Cans in action, and from
the fifth round on he seemed to be
mediating when and where to lay down,
as his eyes instead of being on Nelson,
were constantly on the floor.
He had opportunity again and again
to put the awkward Nelson in dream
land but s%tudiously avoided doing

parent to the spectators and Joe that
Nelson was about all In. Then Joe
walked away. Joe deliberately tried at
one time to lose on a foul, as he struck
Bat after the sound OF the gong. Dis
appointed, he feebly threw himself
within Bats range and received a good
beating.
Joe had to AXE some punishment so
as to soothe the feelings of those who
were double-crossed as the ring made
a pile of money with odds at 10 10 3
Bat Nelson cannot whip Joe in a square
fight. Joe IS not a dead one by far.
even though he was a dead one Satur-
day."
On the other hand, James Coffroth,
the San Francisco promoter of boxing
contests, says that Nelson is the king
PIN OF lOnS-ulSldlCe lighters, ana says
he is invincible in a long contest. al
though his logic is not very conclusive.
In a recent letter Coffroth writes as fol-
lows:
1T amuses me to see the sporting
writer's saying that Cans was all in.
and old, and that stuff. Why, a few
months ago, when he trimmed Britt and
Unholz, they said that he vas a wonder
and would &c on forever. But now non
is giving credit to Nelson. but finding
excuses for Cans.
Their reason is that Nelson lost ten
round decisions to Britt and Unholz,
and later fought a ffteen-round draw
with Attell. They miss the point; Nell
sor is %invincible in a long fight.
Mark me. If the fight last Saturday
was for twenty rounds, instead of forty
five, Cans would have outpointed Nell
ION. He would have stalled and out-
boxed him, as others do when they
know the distance is short. 1t was
knowing that he had to go forty-five
rounds that made him try M wipe up
the Dane. Didn't Jimmy Britt try to
do the same thing when he was
