(Bi JOE WlLLIAMS)

The duels of Joe Cans, the great
 negro lightweight, and Bat Nelson
 the Durable Dane, form one of the
 epics of the prize ring. Cans and Nelson each won (or
 claimcd) the lightweight champion
 ship twice and scrapped for it three limos before age, coupled with tho Battlor's relentless ma,Iing. ruled Cans out Of further competition. Ring records show Gang took tho title rom Frank Erno in 1902. They also show he refused 10 make the
 l3S-pound weight and popular ycr- dict gave tn" title to Jimmy Britt of California, who subsequently lest it 10 Bat Nelson in 1905.
 Cans finally quit his campaign among the woterwcights and fought Nelson for the championship in 1906 in GoldticId, Nev.. winning on q foul in 42 rounds.
 That stamped Cans as the real king of the lightweight class. But age was already beginning to mako it's inroals upon him. lIo was 34 years o!d--almost senility in the ring gamo-and had been familiar figure in the roped circle for almost IS years,
 The old gent with the scytho con quorcd the veteran Joe at San Fran cisco July 1, 1908, when Nelson bat tered him into inSen5ibiity in the l7th round, Ring followers saw it coming almost from the beginning. The bulldog Dane showing amazing stamina, forced the fight all the way, constantly swinging his arms watching for an opening battering at tn" guard Of the colored fighter.
 In the 1@th Cans was dropped 10 tho canvas three times and took the maximum allotment each timo. Cans made his last rally in the l4th, crashing into Nelson time and again with his famous short-arm walloDs. They didn't have the slightest effect on the rugged Dane. Cans told his seconds he was beaten when he went to his corner ct the end of that scirmish. They sent him out again to the slaughter with encouraging comment,
 Three times Cans mopped the canvas in the 1Tth before he WAS finally counted out, 4 left to the pit of the stomach sent him down for the third time,
 Aft"r the fight Cans announced he was through. One fight too many" he said. "Old age will tell"
 But f didn't speak loud enough for Joe Cans. He met Nelson for the third tim" at Colma, just outside Of San Francisco, on September 9 of the same year.
 This time Cans lasted 21 rounds but for the second time he suc- cumb"d to the hattcring ram tactics of Nelson and 10 the continued in- roads of age.
 Nelson fought the same fight he had employed so successfully in tbe July bout, working constantly on the body and carrying he fight always 10 his less vigorous foe.
 Cans lost his heart after the ninth round when his punches appeared 10 have no effect at all on the white man. He continued to lose ground steadily until the Fist, when a rain Of blows 10 his jaw and body nut him on the floor. Glass-oyed. he watched Referee Eddie Smith count him out, too far gone even to know what was going on.
