ring has lost one OF its greatest
lightweight boxers and most low
able figures. Once admired, then
exercrated for permitting himself
to be drawn into crooked con-
tests; then, after his atonement,
beloved in spite of his color,
Cans career is without parallel
in the annals of the ring.
Tuberculosis, the malady which
has laid it's b!ight.ng fingers on
other great coloned fighters, nota-
bly, Peter Jackson and George
Dixon, wore down the once sturdy
frame which pulled the black boy
through many a storm.
Four years ago lacking one
month Cans was one of the most
perfect fighting machines that
ever stepped into the ring. One
month later, September 3, 1906,
his physical downfall began. Fore
ed to tear needed flesh off his
bones to meet the enormous con-
ditions imposed by Billy Nolan,
then managing Battling Nelson,
for the contest with the Durable
Dane for the lightweight cham
pionship, his magnificent consti-
tuition was undermined and he
was never again the great Cans
who had successfully defended his
title against scores OF fighters
from the time he won Ii from
Frank Erne In 1902 until his sec
ond encounter with Nelson July A,
1908.
Two days before the first Cams
Nelson battle, Cans, try as he
might in his stuffy little gymnas-
ium, could not tear of the pounds
of flesh that Nolan said must
come off. Becoming desperate,
the negro took to the hot alkaii
road under the blazing sun, re-
peating the performance next day.
Nolan insisted that Cans weigh IN
with full fighting toys scaling not
a fraction of am ounce over 1873.
Cans needed the money from that
fight and would have cut on deg
TO make the weight. For three
days he ate little more than a bit
of toast three times day, shaking
his thirst with tiny cup optea.
When he awobe the day of'that
battle at Goldfield he weighed 133
stripped, but ne had to get below
that to allow for the trunks and
the rest of his fighting toys. Out
ON the road he went without a
bite to eat.
At 10 O'Clock that morning he
had to step ON the scales for the
preliminary weigh-in. Nolan,
among the harsh conditions that
the newspaper men covering the
fight protested against as unfair,
insisted that the negro must step
on the scales twice before the
'rlngside scaling. Fearful lest he

Cans was quiet and retiring and

mother had hoped he would be-

times expressed a wish that he
