he wrtthed and limped with pain, he

sidering the boxing ability OF Cans. it
through the fact that Nelson was one
of tie most powerful fighters of all the
lightweights. The records say that
Cans succeeded in planting innumer-
able hard blows to the face and body
in every round, and out of the forty
two there were less than half a dozen
rightfully belonging to Nelson; they
mixed it from start to finish. That
Cans would have beaten Nelson seems
sure, except from the deliberate foul
the Dane administered. Here is what
the records say about this foul. Short
ly after the round began they came to
a clinch, Nelson had his head on Cans
shoulder, and his arm down; several
times he hit Cans below the belt. ap-
parently feeling for a vital spot. At
last he drew back his right arm and
hit Cans a vicious blow square in the
and rolled over on his back. Referee
Siler, without hesitation. ordered Mel
son to his corner and awarded the fight
to Cans. Tho decision of tho referee
received unanimous approval. All that
Nelson said was that Cans was tired
and quit.
Nelson got the lions share for this,

The fight had a gross sale of tickets
amounting to $61, $50.

sage to Congress will deal moro with
domestic than with foreign affairs
The explanation OF all this seems
to be that the irreconcilablc leaders
in tho Senate arc more eager and
have gono further than the admins
tration has. The truth is that just
beneath the surface OF events there is
undeninably certain amount of
strain on the part of the Senate lead =
initiation of tho foreign policies and
to have larger dominance in the
management of them than has here
toforc been the case.
The traditional and constitutional
role OF the Senate In our foreign af-
fairs is TO provide advice and con-
sent to matters In which the execu-
tive has the exclusive power of ini-
tintive. The Senate cannot make a
treaty, nor begin negotiations for a
treaty. nor have any opportunity to
act upon or express itself about a
treaty. until after the executive has
completed the negotiations OF tho
treaty and formally turns 1t over to
the Senate for advice and consent.
But in the long fight which the
Senate has just had with the execu-
tive department under Wilson, tho
Senate has acquired, thru its victory
"A degree of self confidence and prob
apiy also a degree OF pubic support
which causes it today to take an at
titude toward foreign affairs stronger
than the Senate has ever before taken
in its history
In the present situation the Senate
has one of the very few opportunities
that ever came to 1t take the initia-
tive in "A mater within the field of
foreign affairs Wars arc ordinarily
ended by treaties negotiated by the
executive. That is the way the pres
ent war was ended. But the Senate
having refused to ratify the treaty
ending the recent war, is now in a.
position to substitute for this treaty
n different kind of ending OF the war.
The Senate proposes to end the war
by u joint resolution of Congress,
which does not need to come to them
from the executive. which they can
Initiate themselves and have initia-
ted for themselves, and which they
can pass themselves by any ordinary
majority vote, without the two-thirds
majority necessary in a treaty.
Without any doubt, IL Mr.. Wilson

had held the kind of negotiations he

Cans was one of the greatest light
weight fighters of all time, and GER
tainly the best America ever produced.
There is no better illustration in all
this fighters career than his memoir

September :. 1906. 1t brings out the
abilities of tho colored boy better be-
cause of the Danes ability; his stub

Cans had lost his strength; it will be
remembered that he died from tuber-
culosis in 1910, so it is reasonable to
suppose that the seeds of that dread
malady had begun to sap his vitality
at the time he lost TO Nelson.
But to better understand the PROV

GANs-NELsON BATTLE
Whether we draw the color line or
D0t. the fact remains that the colored
foce have at different times through
out pugilistic history been at the very
top OF their profession. Surely Cans
was one of the greatest little fight
ers the world ever knew. Nelson once
remarked that he was afraid of NO man
at the time We was going good. and
according to his claim he was never
better than at the time no fought the
colored boy: bat he was afraid Of Cans
because he evaded him in every way
possible and as long as he could It
was one of tho dirtiest ring battles that
VAs ever fought in America Time after

and when tho question was asked this
