him. Referee George Sller said the
foul was intentional as did many crit
les at the ringside.
Cans went around Nelson like
cooper round a barrel, but Nelson
took punishment like stole. A
gamer man never lived than Nelson
and Cans had few ring equals.
Cans fought clean, manly fight.
He had been forced TO weigh In at
1873 ringside with his togs on. which
meant he had to make 13l pounds.
He fooled Nelson by making tho
weight and retaining his strength and
he left the ring cheered by men who
came ready 10 hiss him. IL was Mel.

Round after round Cans punched
Nelson until the Danes face lost re-
semblance TO a human countenance,
but he piled in for more, doggedly
trying to wear down his opponent
Twice Cans knocked him down, and
once, when he helped Bat to his feet.
his reward was q vicious blow to the
stomach.
In the sixteenth round Cans injured
his hand and in the twenty eighth IL
was literally smashed. He fought
with one hand thereafter, but TO de.
ceive Nelson, he llmped as II he had
injured his foot.
The fight was struggle of brains,
skill, heart, and hands, but above ali
il was one OF will. In sheer will-pow.
er Cans excelled Nelson. Both were
weary at the end, but Cans was
stronger than his rival.
Cans generalship was wonderful
He forced Nelson to do all the work
and saved himself throughout. He
fought with a broken hand gamely
and wonderfully until Nelson's fst
landed in his groin and laid him low.
Ii was a vicious, hard, gruelling
fight, and will live long in ring an
nails. The receipts were $4,000 and
the purse $33,500. Nelson received
$22-500, win, lose or draw and Cans
took $1,000.

YANKEES FORTUNATE TN
SECURING WOLVERTON
Harry Possesses Qualities of
Great Leader-Made Good
In Minors

The New York Americans were
fortunate TO secure Harry Wolyerton
as manager for 1912, say all those
familiar with the latters work during
the past few years.
Wolverton possesses all the quail
tiles OF great leader and during his
career as captain in the minor
leaves, has either won a pennant or
~ , close contender.
"a he took charge of the Oak
lpndvtesm OF fhe Pacific Coast league

gin.
Last season the Oakland team con.
tended with Portland and Vernon for
first honors, and ran a consistent
race, finishing third
In the Eastern league, Wolverton
wols two pennants and never finished
lower than third.
While Wolyerton Is strict with his
men, he never finds fault when he
knows they are trying and is the first
to encourage a man who has an on

CHAPTER XIX.

Grief made Gloria insensible TO the
fight of time. and how long she had
been PROSTATE on the floor before
sounds on the stairs aroused her she
did not know. Thinking that 1t must
be Mrs. Hayes returning with a ply
sician, she rose hastily and tried to
remove all traces of her tears. She
wished above all to avoid explanations,
and II none was asked she did not
wish to have her grief misconstrued
But Il was not Mrs. Hayes, for Gloria
could hear the heavy tread ascending
to the floor above.
Little Ella was restless and rollel
and tossed in her sleep. The daughter
of David Kerr looked with pity upon
her. Her discipline was toe new, her
spirit was still too untamed for her to
understand fully the kinship OF the
human race. Although she recognized
that she was herself without the caste
she thought was hers. she had not
come TO know that on the last great
day there would be only the judgment
of the just and the unjust, not of the
high and the low. OF the rich and the
poor, of the wise and the ignorant, of
the master and the servant.
Poor girl" murmured Gloria, you

RISKS TAKEN BY MODERATE E

Two surgeons stood over man who
was near death from taking an anaes-
thetic-so near that both believed he
would never pull through. They did
heroic work to save him, and for
some time It seemed their efforts
would be in vain. Lies current ebbed
and flowed and sometimes seemed to
cease entirely. SO tense were the mo-
ments that the sweat stood on their
foreheads, At last there was faint
gllmmer of hope, and when IT was
seen that death for a time had been
beaten, one OF the doctors, leader
In his profession in this county. stood

Iron Clothes With Their Feet

A writer In the Wide World Maga
zine says that the most curious sight
he saw at Cairo was men ironing
clothes with their feet! The men
were employed In the native tailoring
establishments. Except for long
handle, the irons were shaped like the
ordinary fiat-iron. only larger. A solid
block of wood rested on the top Of
the iron, and on this the men placed
one foot, guiding the iron In the de-
sired direction by means of the
handle. For the sake of convenience.
ironing boards were raised only a few
inches from the ground, and however
strange the method may seem to US,
the work was done very well and very
expedltiously.
