it is a certainty that he has been stung.
In the twelfth Joe went down from ex-
haustionA From that time on he was in
the position of drowning man clutch
ing at rope just few inches out of
his reach. He was gone, and every one
of the 5000 people about the ring
realized that he was beaten man.
Cans defeat was an honorable end
ing to his long career. He displayed
quality of gameness that would be
a credit to any white man in the
fighting business today. He realized
his hopeless position, but kept on his
feet until Father Time and Mother
Nature threw their hooks into the ring
and dragged him into the ranks of the
has beens.
GLOOM FOR BETTING TALENT
The evil spirit of the short end win
ner seems to be pursuing the western
sports just as vigorously as ever At
one time during the betting Cans was
to l favorite. At the end of the
twelfth round Jimmy Coffroth tried to
bet $1,000 to $500 that Nelson would
win, but could not place his money
Before the fight was few rounds old
Cans supporters were willing to sell
their bets al 80 cents on the dollar
They had no takers. Today many of

Gates are wondering where they will

harness up their next breakfast money.
The colored population is normally
dark. But the normal shade of the
dusky family would now pass for snow
white. Things are so black now in the
dark section that glass of milk looks
like bottle of ink. Bacon is a thing
of the past and "Cockey' O'Brien has
been joined by innumerable new re-
cruits to the ranks of the free lunch
cadets.
Coffroth's management in seating the
big crowd yesterday furnished strik-
ing contrast to the work of eastern
managers. If you come within three
blocks of getting your right seat in a
New York fight you feel that you owe
the management a vote of thanks You
don't feel that you have right to kick
if you discover Somebody's knee i'm
bedded in your spinal column. Physical
torture is part of the eastern game at
the ringside. To a stranger in town
the way things were handled at Colma
looks like a mistake. You think you
have accidentally wandered into a pri-
vate theatrical society. These little
things make San Franciscos wayward
sons love their native town all the
more.
And now sports are asking each other
where a man can be found who will be
able to cope with the stonewall pro-
>clirities of the wonderful Dane. You
can search us.

Every skeptic must now acknowledge
that Battling Nelson's stamina and
durability Should go down in history as
one of the greatest wonders the world
has ever seen. He showed many signs
Of acquired cleverness during the fight,
but the real secret of his wonderful
achievement can be summed up in the
two words-perpetual motion. During
the first iive rounds Cans rained enough
blows OH the Danes jaw to floor an OK
The Hegewisch phenom merely took
the punishment as part of the natural
course of events and came back all the
harder. Punching him is like punching
the side of a concrete building. His
continual grind would discourage the
most lion hearted man in the world.
There is no letup in his rushing tao
tics. Cans backed UP from the very
first tap of the gong. Never once dur
ing the whole II rounds did Nelson
give way an inch of ground
COULD NOT LAST FOREVER
There is q vague possibility that a
younger man than Cans could have
stood the terrific pace better than the
old master. Cans 16 years of continual
lighting told the tale. He could not
last forever. After the fifth round he
seemed to forget his wonderful clever
ness and concentrated his efforts upon
the hopeless task of trying to put his
opponent out with wild right and left

By Promote.

A sensational cutting fray marked
the aftermath of the big fight last
night when Charles Dixon. Nelson's
time keeper. was slaShed with a knife.
1t is claimed Promoter Jim CoffrOth
was the knife wielder and that he in
hicted two painful wounds in the cheek
and one under the arm. The stabbing
occurred in COffroth's Willis saloon,
1913 Ellis street. After being treated
by DR.. William D. Clark. Dixon was re-
moved to Turkish bath. where he was
reported to be resting easily.
According to Dixon the cutting took
place when the receipts OF the fight

larger prices been asked for the tickets

by several thousand dollars.

Nelson planted a short right to the

Nelson rushed Cans against the ropes,

Battler stick close to his prey. worry
him with inighting and avoid open

the chance to shoot in long range

battling ship, rested his CORY face on
the brown sugar colored shoulder of
Cans and worried him ever with
punches in the stomach and sometimes
to the chin and jaw. In that respect.
in the matter of infghting varied with
uppercuts, Nelson followed somewhat
the same tactics he used when he beat
Jimmie Britt at Colma on Admission
day, 1905. And it was the brother of
this same vanquished Jimmie Britt who
yesterday advised Nelson TO use that

The fulness cf the farmers wear ia

Not in years, il ever in the history OF

much of everything and such high
prices as at his time. Take q specific
i~nstan2e: A banker went in his auto

ana among other farmers similarly sit

In the yard We're apple trees fairly

Why do you neglect your fruit?" he

A March DAY in Rome.

1t was a beautiful morning, writes
w. o.. Howclls in the New York SUM-,
with q sun mild as English summer,
which did not prevent the afternoon
from turning colo with wind and rain
ing and mailing and showing. This in
turn did not keep off a fine red sunset,
with an evening star of glittering sill
Yer that frightened as the sunset faded.
At Rome the weather can be of as many
minds in March as in April at New
York.
Through all one remembrance of the
Roman winter a sentiment of spring
plays e~nchantingly, like that grace Of
Botticelli's PrimaHera in his Sistine
frescoeS. 1t is not a sentiment of sum-
mer, though it is sometimes q Sumner
warmth which you feel. and except in
the hotels and apartments which are
steam heated it does not penetrate to
the interiors. In the galleries n the
churches YOU must blow your nails If
you wish to tina your fingers but If
you go out of doors there is a radiant
imitation of May awaiting you. She
takes you by Your thick glove and leads
you in your fur lined oNercoat through
sullen streets that open upon sunny
squares, With fountains streaming into
the crystal air, and makes you own
that you have got Nour moneys worth
that is the Italian winter as adver-
tised. That is, If you are a wanderer
and a stranger: il you are an Italian
and at home you keep in the outdoor
warmth, cut shun the sur and in
doors YOU wrap up more thiclSly thar
ever, or You go to bed il o nave a
more luxurious prejudice against shiv-
ering. IL o are a beggar. as you very
we'll may be in Rome. you impart your
personal heat to a specific curbstone
or the spot which You select as being
most in the path OF charity and cling
to it from dawn till dark. Or you ac-
quire somehow the rights of u chair
just within the padded curtain of Il
church and do not leave it till the hour
for closing. The Roman beggars are OF
all claims upon pity, but preferably L
should say they We're blind. n some
of these are quite young girls, and
mostly rather cheerful. But the very
gayest begsar l remember was a legless
man at the gate of the Vatican mu-
scum; the saddest was a sullen dwarf
on the way to this cripple. whose.
gloom a donation even of 25 centessini
did not suffice to abate.
