When l finally found King the
statement made by him did little
to clear the fog surrounding his
dismissal from the American Oh
ympic boxing team. According to
his story he had at all times since
leaving the u. S. been a model
young mum and as for 'homesick-
ness, nothing was further from his
mind. It would seem in view OF this
statement that the despotic M,
Brundage or the puppet like Olyzn-
pic boxing managers, are due for
real raking over the Goals when
they return to these shores.
King declared he was finished a.
an amateur and would soon enter
the professional ranks which may
be just as well since the plaudita
of the multitude sound much
sweeter when one is being paid.

We can feel justly proud (wheth-
err Hitler does or mott when we re
view the record of the Negro atb-
ietes who have participated in this
Olympiad. Paced by the incompar-
able Jesse Owens leading the way
with a triple win in the broad
jump, 100 and 200 meters, one OF
few athletes to achieve a triple win
in Olympic competition. American
athletes made a clean sweep of the
100, 200, 400 and 500 distances, the
first time this feat had been ac-
complished by America since 1912
In each of these events Negro boys
walked, or rather ran away with
first place.

SPORTS DOPE
Joe Cans
(5y Biddy" Bishop


The boxing world will always
acknowledge that Joe Cans was
one OF the rings greatest light
weights real champion.
The Old Master, as he was dub.
bed by writer's, could either box or
slug as the occasion demanded. He
was, without doubt. a wonder with
five ounce gloves. There is no light
weight in action today who even
approaches him in the matter Of
ability and ring craft.
I witnessed the match between
Cans and Joe Walcott at San Fran
cisco. I have never seen such mar
velous fistic skill such as the Bal
timore boy displayed in that con-
test. Walcott was a terrific slug
ger. a strong, slashing battler with
heavy arms and an aggressive
style. He had whipped big heavy
weights. Cans was sporting him
several pounds. It required unlim-
Ted cleverness to stay in there
with him.
Walcott had much the better OF
It in the earlier rounds. After Cans
got the range, however, he went
along nicely and at the conclusion
Of the goth round received n we'll
deserved draw
It must be remembered that
Cans was lightweight and Wal
colt a welter. Some writers stated
later that Cans had Waloott at a
bad weight and this weakened the
Barbados Demon. You can scratch
that one. Tom O'Rourke, who man
aged Walcott for several years and
who knew more about him perhaps
than any other man living, told me
just prior to that match that Joe's
best weight was 40 pounds, that
he wasn't worth a bet any time
he went into the ring over that
mark. And 1t was at 40 pounds
that Cans and Walcott boxed.
In 1906 Cans opened a saloon on
the Barbary Coast in San Francis
CO. I was matchmaker there for
the two big clubs. I had just ar
ranged q bout between Joe and
Philadelphia Jack 0'Brien. It was
to have been fought at 1914 pounds
ringside. OErien and Cans were
at that time rated the two cleverest
boxers in the ring. The match-mak-
ing was done over the telephone.
We were to have met the following
night to sign articles but that next
morning the earthquake came
along and shook the match out
together with Joe's prosperous 50
loon business.
After the quake everyone was
broke. You couldn't get into a bank
to get any money. Two days later
Cans and myself stood in the bread
line at a relief station in Oakland
to get something to eat.
Joe took part in 155 contests in
the ring and of these he won 81
on knockouts. He lost dozen con
tests but those two with Battling
Nelson, after the Goldfield battle,
might just as well be thrown out
as Joe was through then, the re-
suit of Billy Nolan's weight condi-
tions in the first Nelson battle. His
last contest in the ring was a 10
round no-decision bout with Jabez
White at New York, March 70,
1909.
I always liked Joe Cans.
thought he had a wonderful per-
sonality. It WIS a pleasure to talk
with him. I recall one of his fav-
orite questions (Which came first,
Biddy, the chicken or the egg?"
Joe would be 81 years of age
were he alive today. He was born
at Baltimore, November 25, 1874.

The grit that made great foot
ball and track star of Fritz Pol
lard, senior in times of yore, seems
to have been pasesd on to Fritz,
junior. This lad despite an ailing
leg was able to finish among the
winners in the 10 meter hurdles.
Coping third place was quite an
achievement when you consider the
handicap of strained muscles.

he can feel justly proud since his

tance.

MEETING TOPASS
ONFAREPROPOSED
Petition for Increase in
Rates and Routing to BE
Considered.

Proposals for additional rerouting
Of buses and street cars. as we'll as
the application of the Capital Transit
Co. for an increase in the street car
token fare and abolition Of tn" dollar
weekly pass, will be considered by
organized civic workers at a mass
meeting June %.
Plans to this end were announced
yesterday by Peoples Counsel Will
liam A. Roberts, who has invited the
presidents of citizens associations
affiliated with the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations and the chairmen
of their public utilities committees to
meet with him on that date at the
District Building.
The agenda for the meeting, as
announced by Roberts, is as follows:
Transportation - The application
Of the Capital Transit Co. for general
increase in its rates of fare to SIPS
pass. 10 cents cash and three tokens
for a quarter: In addition. there are
the questions Of ventilation of ouSses;
further rerouting of busses and street
cars; one-man cars; noisy and dirty
equipment and a new subject, the
joint use of the lines and equipment
of companies operating in nearby
Virginia and Maryland so as 70 avoid
unnecessary operation of busses In
the congested area.
Electric power - The principal
questions are the pending applicat
for issuance of 5000 900 in bonds:
the need for a revaluation of prop
erty,1 as you know, there has been no
final valuation of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co., and its property ac-
count has increased under the sliding
scale from 3212 million in 1885 to
over 10 million at the present time;
the relation of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. with nearby Associated
Gas and Electric properties and with
the street car company; adjustment
of the maximum 3.9 rate which has
not been changed for several years.
"Gas-The principal questions are
the use of a single meter for house
heating and other domestic purposes;
the distribution of the reductions
which may come from the August
hearing of the new sliding scale; and,
most important, consideration of the
cost of natural gas and of pending
Federal legislation for the control of
the price of natural gas.
"Telephone-The principal questions
are with respect to elimination of
charges on hand sets and miscellaneous
switching equipment; a reduction of
general residential rate; and the gen.
eral rate investigation which the Pub
lie Utilities Commission has indicated
it will hold in the immediate future"
