JOE CANS FIRST FIGHT
WAS A PARLOR AFFAIR

one OF the old guard who was an ar
dent admirer of Joe Cans from his
earliest days writes concerning the
first battles of the former champion.
That joe fought his first encounter In
parlor is not generally known, and
what cold Timers has TO say should
prove interesting. He writes as fol-
lows:
"The first fight in which Joe Cans
appeared before anything more extern
siVe than 'neighborhood' audience
was with Fred Swcigert, the trial
horse before the Acme Democratic
club at Baltimore, the occasion being
an elaborate club night. The ring was
rectangular i'm shape on account or
It being necessary to pitch IL In two
parlors. The trial horse had tribe
the better of the battle and got the
decision. but no one who saw the sin
envy negro youngster fight that night
doubted that he was going to put up
a nrst-class article in the pugilistic
line when he had time to develop.
And it is probably equally true
that no one who witnessed that prac-
tically first public appearance of Cans
dreamed that he would ever attain the
pinnacle OF fame he was destined to
reach.
"Soon after this Cans appeared in
Kernan's amphitheater, which was
the scene of some strenuous amateur
matches in those days. There he dis
posed of several local aspirants for
pugilistic laurels and steadily added
To his honors and popularity.
"Thon came to town with n vaude-
Vile show one Kentucky Rosebud a
stout. short. black fellow who offered
$50 to anyone who would stay six
rounds with him. The theater was
packed on the night Cans essayed the
lob, The Baltimore man had never
met an opponent of the caliber of the
black visitor. and he went at his task
with that carefulness that always ar
terward characterized the first few
rounds of his battles.
"Gans did not attempt to fight ag-
excessively at any stage of the SIX
rounds. Nor did he run away from his
antagonist. lie countered and guard
ed and ducked and handed over a
light one occasionally, to the eXasper-
alton and discontinue of the Rose
bud
Cans stayed the six rounds and
presumably captured the $50, but what
was more, he had satisfied himself
that he could best the Rosebud and a
match was made. The fight came OF
few night later, and Cans literally
beat his man up. There was very lit
tie to t..
From that time on Cans star
gained in brlTiancy and he was ready
for the best of them.
"Gans was a clean fighter. He never
stood over a fallen man ready TO
soak him as soon as he arose, but
generously extended n helping hand
and aided him to his feet. He was
white black fighter"

calls to mind the fact that Bresnahan
broke into the big league as a pltcher
and was changed into catcher some
10 years ago by Muggsy McGraw on
account of his batting ability. From
that time Roger never pitched until

How TO AVOID
TIRE TROUBLE
PRESIDENT OF FRANKLIN CON-
PANY GIVES VIEWS-MUCH
DEPENDS ON WAY THEY
ARE HANDLED

Two important viewpoints OF the
automobile tire question which own
ers are very liable to neglect entirely
or to consider only I'm a hurried man
ner are those OF load placed upon the
tire and the influence of flexible chass-
Is construction on the life of the tire"
This is statement made by Presi-
dent III. III. Franklin of the III. II.
Franklin Manufacturing company re.
lative To the recent heavy increase in
the cost of automobile tires. lie adds:
THE rapidity with which automobile
tires wear out is approximately pro-
portionally To the square of the excess
load. That is, IL one car weighs twice
as much as another using tires of the
same size, the tire on the heavier car
will wear out about four times as fast
as those on the light car.
when the load TO be carried and
the carrying capacity of the tire are
considered there should always be an
excess I'm favor of the latter. With the
same carrying capacity a small load
can be carried n much greater dis
tance than heavy one before there is
n breakdown or n general wearing out.
THE tire that is not overloaded or
crowded to its carrying capacity will
not blow out unless from some vio-
lent external cause. the greater factor
of safety being sufficient 10 take up

ing largely to the wearing out of
| tires is excessive road shock. on cars
using semi or three quarter elliptic
springs the rigid portion transmits
the shock back through the frame and
allows practically the full weight OF
the car to pound the tires during trav-
ell over rough roads. With proper
spring motion that absorbs all the vio-
lence of the shock and reduces wear
on all vital parts of the automobile,
particularly tires, TO minimum.
1.-THE fact that the tires are pumped
to n hardness only sufficient to keep
the rim off the ground often passes
as indicative of proper imitation. The
result Is blowout from rim cutting
after very limited mileage.

an internal pressure is brought about
which is beyond that which the tire

MlNTOSH Will
PROMOTE BOUTS
AUSTRALIAN PROMOTER WILL
STAGE SEVERAL FIGHTS IN
THE BRITISH ISLES BE-
FORE LONG

London, England, Aug. 17.-Hugh
ID. Mcintosh, the Australian sporting
promoter. will give some high class
bouts here. He arrived in London
Monday. August /. and by Tuesday
had made arrangements for one of the
biggest boxing campaigns that this
land has ever witnessed. Before com
ing to London, Mac had signed up
Tommy Burns and Sam Langford to
fight twenty rounds under his man
agement for the light heavyweight
championship of the world, and the go
will take place In London during Sep
TENDER.
Mcintosh secured the Holland park
skating rink for the affair and Will
erect an arena to seat 5000 people.
He has taken lease on the rink and
will run monthly shows, which, he
says, will be of world wide interest
Eugene Corri has been retained to
referee all battles.
The next big one TO follow the Burns
-Langford fight will be Jack Johnson
against the winner. Mcintosh having
battles. Mcintosh gives Johnson s75,-
900 for nine months tour during
which Johnson Is TO fight the best
three men that Mac can put against
him.
This is not all that Mcintosh did
during his whirlwlnd trip. He has
taken big abandoned skating rink in
Birmingham and will put on fight
between heavyweights there on Sep
TENDER 10. He is after Bombardier
Wells the new England heavyweight
fights that Wells could not get from
any other source. If he secures Wells,
Mcintosh will have a corner in the
best heavyweights In the world. He
already has Lang of Australia, John
son and Burns of America and Wells
OF England under his thumb.
Mcintosh. who was hardly known a
couple of years ago, has already made
over $750.000. He controls the sport
in Australia, one of the best fields In
the world, having big stadiums in
sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Now
that he is breaking into England, in
tending to establish clubs In London,
Birmingham, Manchester and Glas-

SEVERE BLOW TO CARLISLE

IL was a severe blow to football at
the Carlisle Indian school when Har-
ward dropped the red men from the
crimson schedule. Carlisle made her
football reputation by her annual
games with Harvard and Pennsylva-
MIA. and occasional games with Yale
and Princeton. and when the Ellis and
the Tigers both dropped the Indians,
the government school at Carlisle
looked to Harvard for salvation on the
gridiron. The rules Of eligibility were
not very strict at Carlisle and are not
now for that matter, and when Cornell
pressed Harvard for a football date
II did not take long to decide that the
Indians would have to go back to the
woods.
