CANS SAYS HIS HEALTH is GOOD
Denies Report that He Belongs to the
OsIer Glass.

NEW YORK, April 1T.--Joe Cans, former
lightweight champion. is highly incSnsed at
the report crediting him with being a
tuberculosis victim. The ''old master
stated that he was in good health and that
he contemplates obtaining a physicians
certificate to that effect and having II
published broadcast. After the Cans
white bout in this city a story was current
to the effect that the negro was a victim
Of the white plague It was said that
he spit blood during the contest and that
the poor fight put up by the former cham
pion lent color to the rumor.
1t il common gossip In the Monumental
city that Cans did little or no training
for his tight with White. At the time the
match took place the negro was endeavor-
ing to have his hotel license renewed after
the application had been turned down by
the commissioners Cans was greatly wor-
ried over this matter and spent little time
In conditioning himself for the bout with
the Englishman. The fact hat the rumor
gained considerable ground is probably due
to the fact that Bans himself caused a
similar story to be spread prior to his
fight with Nelson last September. The
negro issued a statement al that time. de-
clsring that he was forced to sleep out OF
doors. The object was TO raise his odds
and the trick succeeded. Cans stated tina
he had gained IN weight which is rather a
strange thing for q ''consumptive'' TO do.
