 Cans had things all his own way as the lightweight champion until July 4. 1908, a period of nearly six years. His first fight with Nelson had occurred nearly two years before. on Labor Day, 1906. They met then at Goldfield. Nev. Nelson got $22, 800 for the fight, win, lose or draw, while got but $11, 900 though the house drew $67, 715- up to that time the largest gate receipts ever taken in at a ring contest. Not only did Cans agree to give Nelson the larger part of the purse, but Nelson forced Cans to weigh-in twice. Cans won in the And round in one of the most gruelling fights ever seen in the American prize ring.
 After that fight he defeated Kid Herman. Jimmy Britt, George Memsfc, Spike Sullivan and Buddy Unholz.
 In the meantime Nelson was clamor- ing for return match. He and Cans met on July 4th. 1908. "It was my fatal move," said Cans. Nelson take the count in the 17th round. On September 8, 1908. we clashed for a third time and while I made a valiant struggle to wrest back the title I held so long, the battler wore me down again and I was counted out in the Jabez White, the English champion. I knew I made miserable showing but was far from being myself. Had I been the Cans of old the Englishman would never have stayed ten rounds.
 When Ad Wolgast beat Battling Nelson for the title I thought I could defeat the new champion but though I posted forfeit of $1. 900 it remained uncovered. At that time my health was pretty good but when I went to New York to take in Coney I caught a severe cold which finally put me out of the game for good"
 Cans returned to his Baltimore hotel but consumption had the best of him and he was sent to Arizona in the hope that he might recover He was too far gone.
 At leisure moments said Cans once, T have figured my earnings and l Know that during the time I was in the ring I made s3OO0OO both from my fighting and my theatrical engage ments."

JOE" CANS CAREER.

In the death of Joe Cans the prize ring loses one of it's most picturesque characters and as game a lightweight as ever donned a glove. His real name. by the way vast Cans. but Camp, but it was easier to say Cans, so as Cans he was known all his life.
 He was born in Baltimore in 1874, the son of poverty-stricken and illit- crate negro family. When a mere pickaniny Cans went to work as de- livery boy in the old Baltimore fish market. These facts are taken from Cans own story of his life.
 "Once the boss and his brother and I each put in $1.70 and we bought a set of s boxing gloves. I got too good for other boys so they made me box them two at . time. My first fight was to a finish with another kid My boxing with two boys at once taught me how to block and dodge and lead so I won my first real fight which was for g side bet and collection of $5.40 It looked like a lot of money to me and the first I had won. took the money over to my mother.
 My next fight was for 23 rounds and the purse was $S. Then I began picking up little fights. meeting the boxers and wrestlers who travelled around giving exhibitions and I earned a. few dollars here and there. I took it all home to my mother; It worried
  got it and I told her I won it shoot ing craps. But she thought I was stealing it so had to take the family one night, to see the fight. Then my mother tried to get me to stop.
 '"Those days I didn't have much of a. punch but was awfully quick and I could jab.''
 One of Cans early fights was with the s'Kentucky Rosebud" who had just knocked out Joe Dixon. Cans beating him in six rounds. Then began his professional ring career which took him to the top.
 Cans first chance for the champion ship came in his fight with Frank Erne in New York but Erne won. in the 12th round. Cans claimed that he had been blinded when Erne "butted" him. He was unable to get another fight with the champion until May 12, 1902, when they met at Fort Erie. Can ada Cans won in one minute and

fcation upon the legislative appropria-
ton bill, modifying the publicity feature
by providing that its enforcement should
rest entirely with the President Some
people thought that if Senator Hale got
the provision upon his appropriation Dill
as a rider he could not getsit through the
Senate. at least without d great debate.
He not only got it through the committee
but he got it through the Senate and
there was no debate. The provision is
now in fair way to become a law.
The senior Maine Senator had had hum
dreds of letters from business men in
Maine, imploring him to do something to
protect them from this publicity feature.
He proceeded with his customary prompt
ness and thoroughness and accomplished
what probably no other man IN the Sen
ate could have done so thoroughly and SO
successfully.

Several years ago poor German
fisherman at DeSoto Park, near Tampa,
took in a penniless German, fed him,
gave him work, and at one time saved
his life. Recently a German Baron
stopped at the Tampa Bay Hotel and
made inquiry about the old German,
and finally found him and introduced
himself as the former penniless Ger
man. Before leaving the old man he
asked him to bring his hat, and filed
the hat to overlooking with bank notes
of large denominations.
