Knights Templar triennial conclave
for the competitive drills for the hand
some trophies and championship hon.
ors. Beginning at 10 o'clock this
morning bands of gallant knights from
various points throughout the United
States and Canada marched and man
euvered before youth and beauty and
brave swords at the National League
baseball park. Thousands OF special
ors filled the grand stands and loudly
applauded the crack drill corps as
they executed their fancy eyolutions.
The drills were far superior to any
thing of the kind ever seen here be-
fore. In all the movements the dis
tances were excellent and the COM
plicated movements Of three right and
left from column of platoons and right
and left front into line simultaneously
executed from column OF threes and
various other difficult and complicated
eyolutions evoked enthusiastic cheers
from the spectators.

Elaborate plans for the races have
been mapped out by the Potomac Boat
club. of this city in charge of the re-
gatta. The course to be rowed over
lies within the shadow of the White
House and the Washington Monument.
Already many out of town crews are
here practicing daily and learning the
course, which is rough at times but
safe. SO the officials say. Both the Po-

stringent regulations governing the
use of the Potomac river, on the occa-

Two Bloody BATTLES.
At the age of thirty-four-at least
eight years past the time when most
prize fighters have received their
quietus, Cans fought within one year.
the two most bloody battles of his
career-his two fights with Battling
Nelson. For gameness and skill, these
fights have stood without parallel
Cans. after having been knocked out
by Terry McGovern eight years pre-
viously, surprised the entire fighting
world by come back that has Of
ten been declared impossible. After
that defeat, during the years 1901 to
1908. he moved everything down that
stood before him in the pugilistic field.
Frequently he weighed down to 1873
pounds. although it was terrific
strain. but he was willing to make the
weight in order to not miss the fight.
At one time he was both lightweight
and welterweight champion.
He was considered by the greatest
analyzers of prize fighting to be the
best combination of hitter. boxer and
ring general that ever essayed the
game. Although a negro of humble
origin, he was a model of considera.
ton and politeness. He never sought
the limelight. kept among his own race
and was the personification OF cheer
fulness. He began his breadwinning
career in a Baltimore fish market. BY
prudence he saved a good part of his
ring earnings and invested profita-
bly, in a Baltimore hotel property,
which he said frequently paid him all
he needed.

After his last battle with Battling
Nelson, Cans went west and reports
came east almost Immediately that the
beating he had received and the strain
to train down had undermined his con-
stitution. Cans denied the reports
but sporting men who met him declar.
ed him to be but a shadow of his for
mer self.
Cans was married three times. In
1900 he welded Miss Madga Watkins
of Cincinnati, a member of a negro
theatrical company. In 1893 the an
nouncement of his third marriage
this time to Miss Martha Davis OF Bal
timore was made. The exact cause OF
Cans death may be learnedly filed by
the physicians. but Father Time and
the pummelings received in over 1Jo
ring battles, do not leave much doubt
as to what finally laid the once great
fighter away.
