 OF RING BATTLES

19o3-Joe Cans defeated Tommy Tracey in g rounds at Portland, Ore. Tommy was a foster brother of Dan Creedon, the Australian mfddleweight, and began fighting in his native Aus tralia about a quarter of. a century ago. He came to America in 1893 and fought Billy Gallagher in San Fran cisco, knocking him out in the 18th round. Tommy then decided to go after the we1terweigft championship, and in 1894 he fought Joe Walcott in Boston. Tommy held the Black Dem- on even until the 18th round, when Joe got over a knockout wallop. Tom
 ny's next bout was with Tommy Ryan, who defeated him. He then went to England and defeated Tom Williams, but upon his return he lost to George Green, the California welterweight. He fought Tommy Ryan again at SyTa- cusei in 1897, and was knocked out After that he fought several good bouts, including two draws with Joe Walcott, but lost a decision to Kid Lavigne. After quitting the ring Tracey became boxing instructor of club in Portland, Ore, the scene of his defeat by Joe Cans. That was no disgrace, however for the black boy was then ir his prime and there was not a white boy who could hold a candle to him.
