a double and a single, his only real
batting of the series.

one occasion he had a chance to put
the ball to a Sox which he failed to
do, and a rally started.

ingS so that In the fifth he Managed
TO block more of Cans blows.
sans had a tough proposition and
although the weights as
we're 139 for Walker and 1876 for
cans there o to be at least 10
pounds difference. Cans put up as
pretty a fight as one would want to
see n his ability to make good al
most every blow he started soon had
walker playing the role of a human
punching bag for the smaller man.
Gam had a variety of punches which
ne used at random, having a different
FORM or attack for every position
walker would assume in order to es-
cape receiving the full force of Cans
blows.
Both Cans and Walker were we'll
built and the latter had the appear
dnce OF one who had gone through
many q hard fight. He was outwit-
ted n outfought by the smaller and
quicker man through the first three
rounds and seemed unable to land a
punch which would make Cans grog-
gy. Not once during the fight did
Cans stop a blow which resulted in
his slowing up. The smaller negro
had a wonderful faculty for making
blows by Walker miss him by q frac-
ton of an inch.
In the fourth round when Walker
went down for the count of eight he
appeared to be more tired of fighting
than hurt, and was stirred to action
by Referee Harry Ertle's foot, which
just naturally worked itself into
Walkers ribs. 1t looked as though
Walker was willing to call 1t a day
right then and there but his seconds
seemed to change his mind as when
he came back for more he was con-
siderably refreshed.
Cans handed out an awful licking
but did not have the strength neces-
sary to put over the sleep-producer.
Cans started some of his blows from
the floor and put behind them all of
his 1874 pounds-and then some-but
did not succeed in making Walker
keep a heavy date with the canvass
for ten seconds or more.
