CANS BY WIDE MARGIN
STOPS THE BRHIsHER
cold Schooln1aster" Bests
White, But Does Not
Show Former Trim.

New York, March t3.-Joe Cans won
the ten-round bout with Jabez White
Of England, last night and put it all
over the Briton. But it was not the
same old schoolmaster'' who appeared
in the ring as that of former days. It
was one of the cleverest exhibitions
ever seen here, but Cans has lost much
OF his former speed.
It was the bell that saved White
from a clean knockout. In three
rounds he hit the floor with a crash,
from sweeping slashes sent in by the
veteran and in both round six and
round seven the gong rang Just as he
was staggering to his feet paving the
air blindly. in a dazed condition.
Had those same blows landed on the
Englishman midway in the round he
would have lost by the knockout route.
But it was just that point wherein
Cans was lacking. The veteran did not
show his old-time speed and. although
he explained after the fight that he had
broken or badly crippled his left hand
in the third round, that would not
have prevented him from scoring II he
had been in his pristine form. The
blows that sent white to the floor were
delivered with the right and mostly
clean-cut punches to the chin.
Joe tired, however, toward the end,
and the Englishman commenced to
gather strength and to avoid punish
ment by ducking under the veteran
blows. So far as the bout itself Is
concerned, the main thing that can be
said about it was that 1T was match
between two wonderfully clever men,
both able and willing to set fast pace.
Where real interest in the crowd cen
tered before the main event went on
was in the number of pugiiistfc celebri-
ties among the spectators. Cyclone
Johnny Thompson, Packey Mcfarland
Jack OfBrien and Battling Nelson were
all introduced. Any number Of lesser
lights, such as Sam Langford, Al Kauf-
man, Stanley Ketchel, owen Moran. Abe
Attell, Leach Cross, Sam Berger, Frank
| ie Neil Boyo Driscou and Tommy
Murphy, were on hand.

day wired here, offering to match Hugo
Kelly with Billy Papke for a ten-round

through. AS the bout with Papke, IL
arranged, will be held in McCarey's
club, 1t will have to be within the city
limits where no verdicts are permit

Cart Anderson VS.. Tony Capont; Ed
die Stearns vs.. Bobby Burns. and Kid
LAWN VS.. Jack Tierney is the three
course boxing feast that is to be
served up TO the patrons of the manly
art of self-defense at the Columbia
Athletic club. Wednesday, March "a.
The men will fight ten rounds at 1853
pounds.
Not since the present management OF
the Columbia Athletic club has under
undertaken to provide athletic contests
of the kind, has there been such an
attractive bill offered to the fight fans
of the region.
Everybody knows Carl Anderson the
Hammond product who IS developing
into such a good fighter. Everyone
has heard of Tony Caponi, who is re-
puted to be one of the best men in his
class. These men will provide the
main bout. and to say that the show
will be a good one is expressing it
mildly.
Then there is the semi windup.
Those who saw Bobby Burns in the
fight with Billy Moorhead are con-
WINGED that he is a good man. What is
more. his fighting is different" That
is why any fight he goes into Is sure
to be different. Burns is always the
aggressor and he goes after his man
in a way that makes the spectators
sit up and take notice.
Burns Is Popular.
This man Burns is to take on Eddie
Stearns, the Fighting Conductor of La
porte. They say Eddie is good" and
as there is considerable difference of
opinion as to the relative merits of the
two men this bout is sure to be a good
one
The first preliminary is to be between

SPORTING NOTES
M'INTOSH MAY CONE
Australian Fight Promoter
Expected in the Big
Burg.

If any arrangements are made for
worlds championship bout between
Jefrries and Jack Johnson they are
likely to be in this city Mcintosh ar
rived in New York from Liverpool yes
terday, and Johnson started from Van
couver yesterday for Chicago. It is
said the Australian promoter will come
to Chicago to see the new champ"
Jeffries is now in New York. and
Mcintosh will have a chance to see him
there. Johnson, who was formerly
around the Chicago clubs, will go di-
rectly south from Chicago TO Calves
ton. where his mother lives and where
the colored folk are preparing to give
him a big reception.
Mcintosh declared today that his Of
fer of $50, 900 for a bout between the
men still stood. He said he would
erect an arena and hang up the purse
either in this country. France or Aus
tralia, but preferred England. His sole
purpose in coming to this country. he
said, was to see Jeffries and try to get
him to fight
He said he wanted TO arrange the
bout for some period within six months,
but said that 1t would be an extremely
hard matter to get Johnson into con-
dition.
Dispatches from New York relate
that he speaks highly OF Johnson, and
states that he Is one of the most wond-
erful boxers he has ever seen. He
limited that he would start for Chicago
today to see Johnson.
New York. March It'll box John
son for nothing II I can get in proper
trim, but I can't see where $4,000 cuts
much figure when Pve been offered
$4,000 for a bout"
This was the statement of Tim JEFF
fries today when told that Mcintosh
wanted him to box for a purse OF that
size. The big fellow declared that he
would never enter the ring If there
was any chance of his defeat It is
thought locally, however. that McIn-
tosh will induce him to make some
secret arrangement and then start fol
Chicago to meet Johnson.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-21
ENMESHED IN MUSIC AND
GLORY DURING EAGLES DAY
That is the Modest Prediction Colonel
Ryder lakes for Omaha
and Visitors.

It is the prediction Of Chairman Bob"
Bacon and the other committeemen con-
nected with the arrangements for the com
ing Eagles convention that the catfish
bake and barbecue to be brought off at
Cutoff lake Friday, September II, will be
the biggest joyfest ever billed in Omaha.
Walter Jardine. who is a fisherman from
away up the ''crick," and Tom Fry, who is
an expert on watery delicacies. assert that
1t will be difficult to secure just the kind
of catfish desired, hand-raised and all of
one size, to be cooked with their skins on,
but that It will be done. The steers to be
barbecued will be Nebraska raised and fed
on special corn, and will be cooked over
fires made of the finest wood, under the
supervision of the greatest outdoor chef in
the country.
Chairman Harry B. zimman Of the deco
r~ations committee says the streets of
Omaha will not only be a blaze OF light
right down to the depots, but will also
offer a Kaleidoscope vista Of color and
fluttering life the like of which has not
been seen before. Every guy wire will be
pennant laden and banners of red, white
and blue, the Eagle c%olors, will flaunt
themselves in the breeze with inspiring
abandon.
"Omaha folks who have contributed to
the fund are going to be made proud" says
Secretary Ryder. They will be surrounded
and enmeshed in music, gladness, glory,
and happiness will be diffused from every
angle and to every point. We say this be
cause We are now at the clearing up point
of our work, as the canvassing is 10 be all
finished the coming week. After that we
shall devote all our time and attention to
perfecting details, so that visitors on leav-
ing Omaha will be conscious they nave
been somewhere and seen plumb to the
beautiful heart of the Queen city of the
Corn Belt. We aim to make them talk
about her many attractions with enthusi-
usm for many days after they leave her
gates

after he sent us the letter another tornado
came up from the direction opposite to
that from which the previous twister had
come. 1t picked up the barn, whlrled il
around a few times and set 1t down on the
foundation from which it had been taken.
Our adjuster went to see the barn and
found it resting apparently just where It
had been built. He remarked to the farmer
that setting 1t back was a pretty accurate
Job. The man explained that the barn was
a trifle out Of line where the second tornado
left it, and he had to get some neighbors
and a jackscrew and push against one Of
the corners a little.
Glad to get out Of the matter so easily,
our man asked what the damage was. The
farmer pondered a few minutes and said
the cost Of his help and the use Of the jack
screw and a few pounds OF tenpenny nails
was about $3.50, which the adjuster settled
on the spot.
There was a rather amusing sequel to
this incident" said MT. Carleton. Before
our man started east we got a postal card
from an address in western New York
which read:
n again. DoNNEGAN.'
I'VE took it that somebody way back
had just heard the old story OF the railroad
mans brief telegraph report OF a derail-
ment and treatment and was trying to
have fun with US; but while the office was
looking up the matter and finding that we
had insured a farmer by the name OF DON
negan in the region from which the postal
card was sent a letter that had been astray
came In telling that Donnegan's barn had
been set across the road by a whirlwind.
I'VE wired our man to see Donnegan, on
his way home, and when he got back to the
office he had almost a duplicate OF the
Kansas farmers experience. Donnegan's
barn had been whirled back by another
storm and was on again, but in this case
the foundation was Of stone, and it cost US
a little more to fix things up than II did In
the case OF the Scandinavian."-New York

streets, caused considerable damage and
worried passengers to quite an extent.
The first trouble was at Twenty-fourth
and Burdette streets, where the car hit a
delivery wagon owned by the McManus
wall paper concern. The car was not dam
aged, but the wagon was thrown against
the curb, the team Of horses attached to il
knocked down, and two men riding in the
wagon thrown TO the street. The names
of the men in the wagon were secured b.
the conductor and the car proceeded on Its
way down town. Only six blocks further
south more trouble was in store, and a
wheel was taken off a wagon crossing the
tracks on Seward street Accident No. g,
was at Cunning street. seven more blocks

This was repaired and a third start mad

plunged ahead at fun speed. An Albright
car had preceded the park car and the
switch was turned east. Another car was
northbound and the motorman on this
thought OF course that the s5uthbound car
would go on south instead Of turning east
When IL turned east, however, Il was to1

a crash. Occupants OF both cars wers
