Bill JENNINGS
Scores a Goal
in Wrong Net
Red Wings Hove
Lost Try at Title
in Montreal Meeting

NEW YORK. Feb. 25-tPJ -
Aided by a gift goal from Bill
Jennings, the last-place New
York Rangers gained 3 TO 3 tie
with the Detroit Red Wings last
night before lO,09l fans at Mad
ison Square Garden.
Jennings miscue came in the
second period when he at
tempted to flip away a rebound
shot by Dutch Hitler. Instead,
however, he hoisted the puck
over Detroit goalie Connie Di-
ons head and into his own nets.
The score at that time was IL
on boals by the Rangers Bill
Gooden and the Wings Don
Crosse. Murray Armstrong then
tied it up for Detroit and Carl
Liscombe followed with a
counter that put the visitors in
the lead for the first time. Bry-
an Hextall tied it up again for
the Rangers by registering his
first goal in nearly a month.
New York tried TO complete
the form reversal by forcing the
play in the final minutes, but
the Red Wings, who had scored
40 goals in their last four meet
ings with the Rangers, STAYED
off the attack. The Rangers have
now tied two games in their last
II without victory.
The Red Wings face the
league leading Montreal Canad-
lens at Detroit Sunday and Mon
treal needs but one more win or
a Detroit loss TO put the mathe-
NAUTICAL clincher on the league
pennant.
The Canucks picked up two
more points last night by trim
ming Toronto, 81.
Boston and Chicago were idle
as far as league play went but
the Bruins kept their hands in
by trimming the Ottawa All
Stars, "a, in an exhibition at Or
taWa.
Next league action Saturday
finds Boston at Montreal and
Chicago at Toronto in two inn
portant games.

Even then he didn't have much,

pared to what even ham-and-

loved to gamble. His biggest
purse was $1,000 for his first

Cans began fighting as a boy
while working In a Baltimore

studious. but had no convention

He stood in a position of per-

at chin level, ready to block and
counter hit. He moved only
inches at a time, and his dead
Hest blows Travelled only a mat

Joe Cans fought some of his
best fights while slowly dying.
He probably was the greatest
lightweight who ever lived, but
because he was so good found
it difficult to get matches when
in his prime unless he did bust
ness with his opponents. Usu-
ally he went into the ring hand
cuffed by orders from his man.
ager, Al Herford, Baltimore
gambler, to take it easy or let
his adversary stay the limit.
Cans most lucrative fight
proved his undoing. 1t was the
historic finish fight with Bat
Ting Nelson at Goldfield, New,
Sept. 3, 1905, BY this time Cans
had shaken off the managerial
shackles of HEREFORD, and was
fighting on his merits.
Tex Richard, fabulous figure
of Klondike and Nevada gam
bling emporiums, was selected
by owners of the Montezuma
Club in Goldfield to stage a
prize fight to bring suckers into
Goldfield, where they would be
rea Y customers for mining
stock and the gaming room.
Richard matched Cans with Bat
Ting Nelson for the lightweight
championship of the world.
Tex offered a purse of $50. 900
for the bout, placed the money
in $40 gold pieces on display
in the local bank window.
MATCHMAKING FATAL
Billy Nolan, manager of Mel
son, forced Cans to weigh in at
1873 pounds ringside in full fight
ing regalia, shoes, trunks and
gloves. Cans won on a foul in
the 42nd round, but the weight
making effort sent him into
consumption which ultimately
proved fatal.
Nevertheless Cans went on to
score knockouts over Kid Her
man, Jimmy Britt, Bart Black
burn. Spike Robson and Rudy
Unholz before tackling Nelson
in two return battles, in which
he was knocke dout in II and
81 rounds respectively.
The battle with Spike Rob-
son, English champion, was the
most spectacular ever seen. II

Philadelphia, and Cans April

from the right gutter until 1t
reaches a point about three
quarters down the alley, where
il begins TO break in toward the
three pocket.
When the ball hits II imparts
its spin TO the headpln and con-
tinues on straight through as the
headpin caroms off number two,
resulting in a certain strike.
The spinner is the easiest hook
to execute.
The accompanying illustration
