CANS TAKES EASY
BOUT FROM WHITE
TEN ROUND SCRAP LAST NIGHT
SHOWS LITTLE CLASS ON
EITHER SIDE.
Whites Broken Left Arm Hurt In
Third Round and Uses Only His
Right In Last Seven.

NEW YORK, March 13.-JOe Cans
coloreu fighter and former light
weight champion easily took care of
Jabez White, the English scrapper
last night, winning the decision in a
ten-round bout The fight was slow
and uninteresting.
White used his left cleverly in the
first two rounds, but in the third he
changed his tactics, relying mainly on
his right Two rounds later the cause
of this shift was apparent. White had
broken his left arm some time ago in
England and he hurt it early N the
third round.
White was knocked down once III
the sixth, twice in the seventh when
the bell saved him by one second, and
once in the eighth
Cans was far from being the Cans
of even two years ago, as he missed
several blows, misjudging distance and
failing to take advantage of many OPP
Round 1-Wh;te led twice for the
head, but was blocked. Cans jabbed
left to the fact and sent right to jaw
White swung a hard left to the nose,
Cans hooked his right to the jaw and
the bell found them sparring in the
center of the ring.

will take place in Madison Square

March Is. The contest will undoubt-
edly be a great one as the most fam
Gus quartet of long distance runners
in the world, Shrubb the Englishman,
Longboat, the Canadian Indian, Hayes,
the American and Dorando Pietri, the
Italian, will participate in the event
Hayes is most anxious to win and
thus regain his laurels which he lost
in his last race with Dorando on
Thanksgiving eve, when the Italian de-
feated him by a comfortable margin
After this race Hayes claimed that he
lost because he was not in the same
condition that he was in London last
summer, and all his recent efforts
have been to get into the best form for
fthe coming contest. Hayes no doubt
feels the loss of Mike Murphy the
best trainer in the world Who put him
in condition for the Marathon contest
last summer. Hayes is now training
under the watchful eye of Earnie
Hjertberg. He is doing his work along
the Coney island cycle path and over
the roads in Prospect park. Such
good judges of form as Melvin Shep-
ard, Herzberg and Martin Sheridan
have placed themselves on record by
saying that Hayes will surely regain
his lost laurels.

Hardy started east some time ago,
accompanied by Mrs Ella Stovell

and while at Woodstock the woman
sent a lot of postal cards to acquain-

which was addressed by Hardy, found
it's way to the sheriff's office, where
the writing was compared with that on

The college bunch will be afforded ex-
cellent opportunity Of getting into trim
with series of games with the Alb
erdeen BLACK Cats" who will arrive
here next week to take up their train
ing. A team, which is to be organized
in the city, will also be slated for
games with the college nine.
Prospects for a winning bunch at
the local institution are bright With
the majority of the old-time stars back
in the game and with the addition of
several new men of high school fame,
the missionaries feel confident of put
ting a championship team in the field.
From present indications Captain
Mig" Borleske will be back at the
third sack again. With such men as
Schmidt, [.ShubeIt, Barnes. Cushman
and Martin from which to pick an in
field, and Belt, Bassett, Wilson and
several other candidates working for
a garden position, it looks good at
Whitman for strong nine.
The list of pitchers at present is not
as large as it is desired by Blanchard,
but several new men with former eX-
per enCa on the slab are showing UP
| well, and it is thought that Wilson
and Borleske, with their aid will be
able to handle this end of the game.
That the missionaries are to have
one of the best diamonds in the north
west is promised by Manager Thomas
butcher who is rushing the work on
the field. Practice at present is limited
to the gym, and just enough outdoor
| work to keep the squad in condition.
Within the next week it is expected
to start practice on the new diamond
and to indulge in few practice games.
