HAS BEEN AILING A YEAR
Started Ring Career in 1894 and
Lost Title in 1908, When Mel
son Beat Him.

BALTIMORE, August 10.-'Joe" Cans,
former lightweight champion pugilist,
died this morning.
Cans died of consumption, which man
ifested itself in his system about year
ago. Late last spring he went to Arizo-
ma, with the hope of restoring his health,
but the disease had been too deeply
seated and he declined rapidly. He was
brought home last week to die. He was
thirty-four years Old
Joe Cans true name was Cant, the
name Cans having been fastened upon
him early in his ring career by mistake
of referee.
He began his ring career in 1894, but
prior to that time he had made name
for himself as a fighter about fish mar
ket in this city, where he was employed
His first fight for money is said to have
brought him 81. The largest purse for
which he ever fought was $4,000, in his
first bout with Nelson. OF this Cans rel
ceived but $1,000, he having agreed to
give Nelson the remainder win, lose OF
draw.
Cans won the title of lightweight cham
MON from Frank Erne at Fort Erie in one
round in 1902, and lost it to Battling
Nelson in 1?GS in the seventeenth round

tree, or something just like that. Man
ager Jim McAleer of the Nationals has
been sort of up a tree for the past Few

fingers, all of the backstopping work was

McAIeer was at lunch Tuesday, won

until one of the other backstoppers round

man, Ainsmith by name. had arrived from
Lawrence. Mass, in advance of the time
he was expected.

after shaking hands with the youngster

Some youngsters have made more aus

of thinking of Boss McAleer and his mer
Ainsmith was there with bells on. Doc
Reisling was more to blame than the
kid for the stolen bases charged aga INST
him. as Doc failed to pitch out to give
the kid a chance to nail men al second.
Ainsmith did not shine at bat the first
time up, but on the second trip he con-
nected with. one of Cy Youngs offerings

CHASE HAD SUNSTROKE.
Highlanders' Captain a Heat Victim,
Which Keeps Him Out of Game.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, August 1O.-It is not gen
orally known. but il is nevertheless a fact,
that Hal Chase the Highlanders' crack
first baseman and captain, is suffering
from the result of sunstroke which he
received during a recent hot spell in this
city Chase, who is naturally Of a ner-
vous temperament, has gamely tried TO
continue in the game in spite of severe
headaches and spells of dizziness. The
injuries sustained by Laporte. Wolter.
Sweeney Gardner and Vaughn, in addi-
ton to Chases illness, coming at the most
critical period of the pennant race would
seem TO indicate that the Highlanders'
hoodoo which has followed them persist
emily ever since they were installed here,
has returned 10 duty.

Detroit Loses Opener.

DETROIT. August 10.-Eddie Plank $
good fielding, some timely hitting that
mingled with Detroits two errors. and
two wonderful plays by Eddie Collins in
the eighth inning. when Detroit appeared
TO be getting ready to break up the game,
proved a combination that the Tigers
could not beat yesterday.
Connie Mack's men got the decision in
the opener by the score of 3 TO l, despite
the fact that Edgar Willett allowed them
but four hits. Unfortunately for the
Tigers, one of these safeties was a four
base drive by Capt. Davis with empty
sacks. while another. though technically
held 10 d single. was good for three
. sacks. as Davy Jones let the ball go
through him. Score:

If as many good youngsters are UNI
earthed this season as last. major league
magnates will have little cause to COM
plain. In all fifty-seven approved can
didates were brought into the best cir
cults, says the Detroit Journal. great
many more were hauled in. of course,
but after the wedding the net total de-
preciated materially.
Last year may have been exceptional
in the number of men produced by the
major leagues Fifty-seven tolerable ball
players. with a star here and there, is
an abnormal harvest for any one sea-
son. Yet it was not enough to fill the
hiatus made by the departure OF Vete-
rams Ten clubs in the best circuits are
searching increasingly for new material
and six others are not passing up any
thing in the way of good lockers.
The choicest recruits to enter in last
years influx for 1910 duty were pitchers.
The Cubs secured Cole of Bay City
Southern Michigan League club. young
man who kept Chances outfit going when
all the veterans were having hard time
of it. Now that Brown, Overall and
Reulbach are pitching up to thir stand
ards, Cole is keeping up the pace as
strongly as ever. To date he has won
ten and lost three games. Hurphy cor
rallied a star when he signed Cole.
Ford Is Star Finger.
Russell Ford. spring sensation of the
American League. is another hurler who
is far ahead of mediocre. During the
first three months of the race Ford found
it almost impossible to lose game.
Lately, however. he knows how the SEN
sation of defeat feels. Yet he is Stall
lings' prize package
Cleveland was lucky in procuring good
pitching talent. There are Hardness,
Koestner. Fanwell and Mitchell. The
first three named are with the Maps to
stay. without a doubt, and Mitchell is ex-
pected to prove wise investment in
time. The southerner is handicapped by
inexperience, but he will get lot of it
before the present campaign comes to
a finale.
In Stroud and Pernoll Detroit has a
pair of very passable shooters. There
have been no pyrotechnics connected with
their performances. but Jennings appears
to be hanging on to them. and Hughey
has reputation of knowing base pal
and it's actors.
When Ray escaped from Oklahoma Jack
O'ConnOr hit upon choice specimen o!
twirler. This juvenile person defeated
the Tigers in his debut and later in the
same week downed them again. He has
also been effective against the Athletics
Evans hasn't been given much of d
chance by Manager Lake of the Boston
Doves, but his record shows he is pretty
fair Appearing in seven games. he has
won three and lost none. In point OF per-
centage he is the leader of the National
league.

man of the Northwestern League, having

Anent the many complaints that some
pitchers deliberately pitch at batters
head in order to intimidate him and fire.
uuently even hit the batter a local fan
makes the suggestion that a rule be
established advancing all base runners
whenever a batter is hit regardless of
how many are on the bases. the rule
having the same effect bak.
There is no doubt that this would put
a severe penalty on the practice of pitching
the bean ball., and there would be fewer
instances of batters having to fall to the
ground in order to prevent heing hit when
facing the pitcher in a pinch. There are.
of course many incidents where batterrs
are hit accidentally but entirely too many
times does the pitcher deliberately take
a chance of running some ball player by
trying to hit him.

Many Pitchers Have Developed.

Boston Red Sox. is one of the best in
fielders to break in this year. He is
finished fielder. shows tineSse in putting
the ball on the runner and can hit and
run bases. Gardners namesake. Earl
with the Yankees, is another very fair
second sacker.
Daniels a Star.
OF the third basemen. Bert Daniels.
another of Stallings' selections, seems to
be the star. Bucknell, Villanova. Notre
Dame recruit. didn't need any rounding
out when he was placed on the hilltop
third base some weeks ago. Daniels went
into his work like an oldtiner and is still
performing like one. He is one of the
few players who can make the jump from
a college into ma jor ranks and make
good from the start
Pittsburg obtained a stable youngster
in Mcketchnie. third baseman with
Wheeling last year. The Central Lacquer
isn't fracturing the fences or anything of
the sort. but he makes an occasional hit
when, it counts, and he can field like
Wagner.
Sharpe. traded by Dreyfuss to Bos-
ton is the premier first sacker. Jake
Daubert, who evaded both the Maps and
Giants. finally landing with Brooklyn,
is a close second Flynn of the Pirates
is Following at Daubert's heels. Pat
Newman. the Texas boy with the ST
Louis Browns, is batting Dbl OConnor
showed wisdom in keeping him the
first bag when al first he failed to come
up to the touting. Chick Gandil of the
White SoX is quite acceptable man who
can cover ground and hit now and then.
Lewis and Campbell Are Good.
Duffy Lewis of the Red Sox and Camp
bell of Pittsburg are the two best out
fielders developed. These two probably
will be wonders next year. Great things
are also expected of Jack Dalton. the
Des Moines gardener, with Brooklyn.
Jack Graney of the Maps has proved him
self class A man. Starting out as
pitcher, he failed to stick with the CIeve-
lands two years ago As an outfielder he
is thought so well of that he couldn't
get outof the league if McGuine wanted to
ship him.
Roach of the Yankees is undoubtedly
better short fielder than Russell Black
burne Of the White SoX. In fact, Black
burne has been pretty much of tiZZle,
but COmiskey has hopes that the former
Providence wonder may yet earn his pur-
chase price. Roach is not hitting as well
as he might, but he may be rated as a
very fair Ball player.
AS usual. catchers have been mighty
scarce this year. The only one worth
speaking about is big Ed Sweeney or the
and throw and pick up hunts! He's not
far from being the best in the league be-
hind the bat.
All in all, Duffy Lewis and Russell are
the stars of the American youngsters,
while the bright lights of the newcomers
in the National League are Cole and
Campbell.

Joe Cans death takes from the
pugilistic game one of its most popular
opponents. Joe Cans though colored has
always been popular with the sport-lov
ing public His retiring nature, together
with the fact that he always knew his
place. made Cans different from most
men of his kind.
Even when it was found that he had
put blotch on his record by laying down
to Terry McGovern he was forgiven be-
cause every one realized that he had not
been the instigator OF the fake and was
really only following the instructions Of
these who had him in charge
Cans was great fighter and most ac-
tive one. For years he fought almost
every week. and his long record shows
him to have been the most amb. . ouS

Special DISPATCH To. The Star.

Special DISPATCH to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, August 1G.-In an open
letter Tyrus Raymond Cobb of the De
troit base ball team yesterday afternoon
answered his critics, who he claims. have
been dealing out too much injustice to
the player for a few days. The letter
follows:
Much has already been said about
myself and my connection with the De-
trot ball club. | realize l am not above
making mistakes-not the least one be-
ing in getting into an argument with
some ducks around this town not worth
the effort to win an argument from.
AS yet, however, | have not burned any
orphan asylums or robbed any blind
men.
Critics say I am getting a fabulous
salary Whatever that salary is, l feel
that my employer. Mr. Navin. believes
[ am earning it to the best OF my ability.
l have always given the public the best
| have in me If some OF my critics who
have been roasting me in the paper
would work as hard and honestly they
would find out the real facts connected
with the recent trouble on the team and
would not be miSguiding the public.
Denies Dissension Story.
"As far as dissension on the club, l
can only point to our continued victories.
We are giving our best to win another
pennant for Detroit, and when the end
comes the fans of Detroit will find us
there. If some of our critics would be
as sincere in the hope that we would
win as the players themselves our path
would be much easier. We have not
failed the fans for three years and we
don't propose to this year. 1t seems that
some of the critics who are supposed to
mold public opinion are the first to desert
us.
Il write this for the enlightenment of
the fans and as little advice for some
of the aforementioned, unkind critics.
Respectfully. TIRtS r. COBB.
"P. S.-A story printed Saturday &C
cused me of refusing to play and seek
ing to cause dissension on the club. AT
the time when that story was printed l
was on the field doing all that | could
do TO help the team win. 1t is such
stories as this that hurt the team more
than anything that happens in the field
in the clubhouse.
