indicate that it was humorous situation
for a champion of his ability.
He next realized that the blow landed
by Mitchell was hard one and as his

shifted to the condition of grogginess

The events leading up to the bout a.
which Joe Cans, the Old Master. stripped
Frank Erne Of his lightweight cham
pionship OF the world with the first
punch in the opening round, form
most interesting chapter in the history
OF pugilism.
Erne had won the championship from
Kid Lavigne at Cheektowaga. near
Buffalo. July 3. 1899. on a decision on
points at the end of twenty rounfs.
Lav'gne and Erne had previously fought
| a draw Of twenty rounds at Coney
Island. and although Cans had made
several efforts TO get a match with
I.avigne while the latter was champion,
the negro's efforts were unsuccessful.
Cans then directed his efforts for a
title contest in the direction of Erne, and
finally got a match which was staged at
the Broadway A. c., March 2S. 1900.
Owing to his impressive performances
against the leading lightweights and
welterweights OF the day, Cans was a
warm fayorite to win the title, the odds
being to in his,favor.
For eleven rounds Cans outboxed
Erne in most impressive style. The
negro hit the champion at will, but did
not eeem to be putting much vim into
his blows At the end of the eleventh
round Cans had so great a lead on points
that Erne could only win by knockout,
and the big crowd in the clubhouse con-
idently expected the title to change

but something happened in the twelfth
round that changed the complexion of
affairs. The men were boxing az close
quarters and there was collision OFT
