Eight Marks the Arrival Of Has

Champion
BY WILLIAM P. MCLAUGHLIN.

Il is hardly right 10 say that the
ridiculous bout between Cans and White
AT the National Athletic Club in New
York was framed" as we say i'm the
wise set II had a dreadrUily suspicious
look about il from ne second 10 the
sixth round. and I watched and watched
and watched. I decided at the end that
there was only one conclusion TO be
drawn, and it is this:
Cans the fighter is gOne-vamOosed-
evaporated- The one-time Old Master
is the most complete wreck Of a nervy
and clever scrapper I ever saw, and T
have met many Of the has bee MS in

rather than the normal decay Of a man

into an English lightweight title, he
must have had a queer lot Of raw ones
to contend with. He isn't class for any
OF our lights
Match Ill-advised.
It was unfortunate for the National
Athletic Club that his clOwnish bout
was put on. The National has made
two bad draws lately and this sort Of
thing doesn't help its reputation. Nor
does II aid the boxing game generally.
No skilled matchmaker would ever
