OLD MASTER OF PUGILISM SUCCUMBS TO THE DREAD WHITE PLAGUE
DELL FANCIED IN
BOUT WITH CAMPI
'Admirers of North Beach Ban'
tarn Like His Chances in
Tomorrow's Fight
. Tob> Irwin, who has been handling
Harry Dell for the last year, is of the
opinion that the .North beach bantam
weight will surely relieve Eddie Campl
of liis four round championship title
tomorrow evening at Dreamland pa
vilion. This pair>>f local scrappers are
to dish up the main event of the Haw
thorne «;lub"s boxing show, and as it
will be a.*lugger opposed to a fast,
Kcientitie boxer, the spectators should
\u25a0?ee a rattling good tight. Owing to
the Shortness of the bout and the fact
that Campi is so shifts', the sports
have made him a slight favorite in the
hotting.
Big Landis, the Portland heavy
'weight, [s faiuiod by some of the wise
hoys to defeat Lou Rushing, the motor
man niltt wiolder, who has put up s?ev
.rr<il good scraps during the last six
months. Landis is said to be a hard
hitter and is very fast' for a heavy
. we'erht.
•'.The other visiting- boxers, Buck
ftrpMsm ;md Barney Lustlff. have for
?niilabl«> opponents in Kd Petowski and
FVeddie Couture, as the latter pair of
fighters are. game and clever. Lustlg
is a N>r- York lad and claims to have
ie«:riVfM a »lr;iw verdict in a six round
encounter with Jack Dorman, a. top
notcher in the cast. All of the boxers
are reported to be fit and rerfdy by Al
Youns-, match maker, so a .good even
ing's sport is in store for the followers
«>f the- four round game.

Joe Gans Counted Out by
Death After Brave Fight
j Joe Cans, former lightweight champion pugilist, who died in Baltimore
| \u25a0•;.-. yesterday ;
Former Lightweight Ghampion Conceded to
Be Marvel of the Prize Ring
BALTIMORE, Augr. 10.— Joe Gans,
former lightweight champion pugilist,
died this morning 1 .
Gans died of consumption, which
manifested "itself about a year ago.
Late last spring he went to Arizona
with the hope of restoring his health,
but the disease had been too deeply
seated and he failed .rapidly. lie was
brought here last week. He was 34
years old.
Joe Gans' true "name was -Gant, the
name Gans having fastened upon him
early in his ring career by a mistake
of a referee. He began, his ring ca
reer in 1894, but prioV to., that time he
had made a name for himself as a
-fighter about a fish market In this city
where he was employed.
His first fight for money is said to
have brought him $4. The largest purse
for which hVj ever fought was $33,000
in his first bout with ' Nelson. Of this
Gans received but $11,000, he having
agreed to give Nelson the remainder,
win, loose or draw.
Gans won the title of lightweight
champion from Frank Erne . at Fort
Erie in one round in 1902 and lost to
to '^Battling" Nelson in 1908 in the
seventeenth round."
With the passing of Gans, the "old
master," the Queensberry ring loses
one of the greatest, if not the great
est, fighter who ever battled for a
purse, a side bet or a ring of sharpen?.
Had he been another John L. Sullivan,
"always on the level," there is no tell
ing what Gans might" have accom
plished, but he was early led astray
by evil associations and up to the time
when he fought that historic battle
with Nelson in Goldfield four years
ago, but* few of the followers of the
boxing game would trust Gans. He
had been fighting to orders too long.
Gans was born near Baltimore about
34 years ago. He never knew his cor
rect age. Neither did his mother. His
father died when he was a mere lad
and Joe was forced to go to work in
order to support his mother.
He obtained employment in an oyster
market in his native city and gained
his first boxing experience with young
sters around the block. He was at the
game for some time before he became
recognized. One of his first important
engagements was In , a battle royal
with three other negroes in Baltimore.
Joe was the only one standing at 'the
finish, and. the spectators stood up' and
cheered him for his wonderful science
and hitting ability.
.Al Herford was then a well, known
politician around Baltimore. - He had
seen Gans in several of his minor per
formances and he was shrewd-enough
to realize that the colored fellow had
a. great future as a. boxer. . Seeking
Joe out in the oyster market where he
worked. Horford quickly convinced Joe
that the fighting game was the game
for him. Incidentally Herford signed
Gans up to an iron clad contract/which
made him practically a slave for many
years. /". '
Herford held some sort of magic
sway over the great black fighter.
He could make him do what he pleased.
\u25a0Some of the sports are unkind enough
to say that Herford fixed and framed
most of Gans' notoriously crooked
fights. , This has never been proven,
but the fact remains that some'master
hand, directed all' of Gans' 'doings, -and
the fighter always stood pat.
' Gans fought twice 'as many battles
jib any other of the pugilists now be
fore "the public. There is T nb: accurate
record of the exact numberof ring con
tests in which he engaged, but his only
possible rival was ; the late .George
Dixoiv . These great ;" colored. .fighters
ran each other neck and neck in the
number of battles, with the oddsf in
favor of Gans; , • * . :
Gans started' fighting in. the latter
eighties,; but- he' did ; notarise" to; fame
forlnearly 10 years, when Herford;took
him to New York.; .His; first real.fight
wa« ff gainst; the" then famous; "Elbows'^
McFadden \u25a0 in^Gotham Iri ; :lS99. V^MdFaVl^
den was a wonder in. ttioseT days, arid
he beat Gans in the twenty-third round, 1
though there- is -reason to~ believeVthat
Joe laid' down. y. .";
A few months la.ter Gans «. was" mixed
up "in that notorious Terry iMcGovern
THE y SAjSTFRANCISCO^C
frameup In Chicago. This was one. of
the most barefaced fakes in the his
tory of boxing, and it killed the l game
in C»i4cago for all time. McGovern
,was given the decision in the second
round, and the fight went as a knock
out. 'The sure thing men made a great
cleanup. \u25a0> " •
This one past him, Gans' hooked up
with Frank Erne, then lightweight
champion of the world. It was a great
fight for 10 rounds, and then Gans com
plained that Erne had butted his eye.
He continued" for two rounds longer*
when he quit. His excuse was that his
optic was hanging out, and that he
would rather lose the battle than his
sight. , . - . V • r..-.y -.
Gans showed his superiority over
Erne two years later in Fort Erie,
when he knocked him out in 1 minute
and 40 seconds and won : the light
weight championship. Then he came
to San Francisco and flattened his old
time rival, McFadden, in three rounds.
Gans' first appearance in San ' Fran
cisco was in 1896 against Charley Ro
chett. He was not even a near cham
pion in those days and the crowd which
turned out at old Woodward's pavilion'
was not a large one. The present su
pervisor, John L. Herget, who was
known as "Young Mitchell" in those
days, promoted and refereed that bat
tle, and Gans won it in the twelfth
round by a knockout. Then he returned
east. ;-.-,; '\u25a0\u25a0:.
Gans took part in several other bat
tles here and in Oakland in, the mean
time, but his first real, great stand
was against Jimmy Britt in 1904, when
he "lost on a foul" in , the fifth round.'
This was one of the, most " barefaced
"frames" ever put : over, and later Gans
confessed the part he played..
It was shortly after .the fire that
Gans was taken hold of by Benny Sellg,
a manager who' made money far him
and gave him a, reputation and the
ambition to be honest. . On Labor day,
1906, Gans and Nelson tangled . up in
Goldfield in that historic 42 round
battle, which the "old master", won on
a foul. This was the fight which put
Tex Rickard on. the map: and the one
which brought Gans his greatest indi
vidual purse. : V;^:-. ' .-'v f fj;..-:-.;
Less ; than two years later Nelson
took the. championship"; away from
Gans at Coff roth's ;Alisslon: street arena
in the seventeenth round. Two months
elapsed and Nelson" repeated the trick.
Then Gans began to : fade - away and
the dread white- plague- gripped him.
Try-as he might, Gans could not rid
himself of the gnawing 'disease. :
Though he made many -a' fortune in
his day, the marvelous colored, fifhter
left little of the world's .; goods behind,
lie fell : for the gaming-tables and he
was a mark for sharpers all over the
country. He "wrecked- his health by
staying up "for days^ and nights at .a
time without any, sleep.
Gans is survivedlby an a«ed mother,
a wife and, a grown .son by his. first
wife, from- whom; he: was: divorced.: A

PARIS AGREEMENT
FAVORS MOTORISTS
International Certificate Has
Been Adopted for Those ,
Touring Europe
R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU
The agreement made
at Paris concerning motors crossing
the frontiers- of countries
has beeri'tratified; by Austria : Hungary,
Bulgaria; "Spain,, France, Germany,
United Kingdom, Italy and Monaco.X .'
..An international certificate has been
adopted, which will. "only, be issued -if
the cars and the drivers' meet the re
quirements agreed upon. This certifi
cate is in the form. of a booklet, on the
cover of which,; and on the first and
the lastpage, the' certificate is stated
in'the language, of the country where
it was Issued; on the other pages this
text appears in | the languarge of ; the
various countries, parties to the agree T
ment,.so that the'frontier officials can
examine the certificates without diffi
culty. 'It is also provided V that- the
motor cars, in addition to* the home
number, must show a. sign denoting
theirjriationality. The present German
mode of attaching a sign to the. car by
the ' frontier' officials is therefore done
away with, for the- traffic between the
several countries to the agreement.
For marking dangerous places along
the roads special numbers have been
agreed upon, j This international agree
ment became effective on May 1, 1910.
; Motorists from the United States can
get the benefit of this agreement
through the.. American automobile as
sociation.
