JOE CANS, THE GREAT MASTER, Is
DEAD; RECORD UNPARALLELED
IN PRIZE RING.

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. 1O.-The "old
Master" has taken the final count. Joe
Cans, former lightweight champion Of
the world, died here at sos o'clock
this morning of consumption
The most popular and most skill
full Negro boxer who ever appeared
before the public, favorite for close
on twenty years, he died as he wished
ton the arms of his mother. II
was that he might be with his old
nanny" at the end that the grea-
fighter made his race with death a
week ago, hurrying on from Arizona
Only a few friends had seen him
since he left Arizona few weeks
ago, in the vain and desperate hope
of checking the white plague. When
he came back he was little more than
a skeleton, scarcely able to whisper.
He weighed sixty-five pounds when
he returned. :
Cans was conscious until two hours
before his death. At his bedside at
the time, he breathed his last, besides
his mother, were his wife and two
children, kid" North, who had &C
companied him on his trip across the
continent, Uncle" Dan Pendleton
and a nurse.
In all the annals of pugilism there
is no record Of a more remarkable
or picturesque figure than that of Joe
Cans, the Baltimore fighter For
nearly twenty years he was almost
constantly in the prize ring, and up
until his final defeat, for the light
weight title, by Battling Nelson in
1908, was justly deemed one Of the
most scientific, aggressive and game
fighters that ever donned the gloves.
Cans often declared he did not know
his exact age. He reckoned that 1874
was about the year Of his birth. He
began fighting in an amateurish way
about 1890. For the following ten
years he engaged in over 125 battles,
easily defeating men of minor repu-
tatien. Had he been directed Alright
At the time, he would have easily
forced to the front and become cham
pion years before he finally achieved
that coveted distinction
In Fakes Early in Career.
The trouble was that Cans became
mixed up with his manager in a SER
les Of LAY down" or fake fights, in
which he might readily have gained
the victory, but in which-as he al
ways said at his managers solicfta-
tion-he deliberately permitted him
self TO be beatsn. In consequence.
for q period. the fighting public
would have none Of him. Try as hard
as he misht to sign I'D a 6sht, there
was always a sheer and q suspicion
that he would throw 1t. About Eve
years before his death, however, he
did such excellent and papably
square work" that the animus
against him had in q great part van
ished, ana his great victories were
received with the entire approhai
ton Of the ring fans. i
At the age Of thirtyfour-at least
eight yeaEs past the time when most
pFiEe fighters have received their quiz

to make the weight in order to not
miss the fight. At one time he was
both lightweight and welterweightI
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 personihcation Of
cheerfulness. He began his bread
winning career in a Baltimore fish
market. He saved enough of his ring
earnings to purchase a Baltimore Ho-
tel, which he said frequently paid
him all he needed.
Cans Fails Rapidly.
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 constitution. Cans denied the re-
ports, but sporting men who met him
declared him to be but a shadow OF
his former self.
Cans was married twice. In 1900
he welded Miss Madge Watkins of
Cincinnati and in 1908 the announce
ment of his second marriage
time to Miss Martha Davis of Balti-
more-was made. The exact cause
of Cans death may be learnedly fled
by the physicians, but Father Time
and the strain of making weight for
over $50 ring battles, do not leave
much doubt as to what finally laid the
once great fighter away"
He left property, diamonds and
money, which amounts to more than
forty-fve thousand dollars.
