Joe Cans, the victor in Monday's lightweight fiasco, was around town today without a mark to show that he had been in a battle.

Britt remained in seclusion this morn ing nursing the wrist that he claims was broken. Britt still refuses to per mit disinterested physicians to examine the alleged injury, claiming that to re- . k. - .I..,., abb In In whlnh tK. hand was hurriedly placed, might result In serious consequences. Here are the statements of victor and vanquished: (By Joe Gans.) Of course I had Britt outclassed all the way through. I am sorry he hurt his hand, for I would htve preferred not to have the fight end the way It did. Britt didn't hit me a blow that hurt to any extent Even that time he hit me on the jaw with his left, it didn't hurt me. I could have finished him quicker than I did. If he had kept at me, aa I had been led to believe he would do. But I had to keep after him all the time, and that made It a longer fight There Is nothing to say. I guess I demonstrated that I am the same old Gans and can punch Just as hard. I will leave Thursday for Los Angeles, where I will fight Jimmy Burns. Will I fight Nelson? That all depends. (By Jimmy Britt) Gans didn't do me any damage. My hand went back on me, and what was the use of being killed? It was Injured In the fourth round, and after that It was of no use to me. That was the reason I kept backing about In the ring. All I want Is another chance at Gans. j I can beat him. I don't want a cent or , money if I don't lick him. A fight under ny conaiiionn 10 wnai m wiu nu soon as this hand Is so that I can use it, I will be after-fclm. There wasn't any quitting in me. Tney wouian t let me go on, and I suppose that waa Hhe best. I will be all right In a short time and then I will surprise the people. VANCOUVER PHOTO MEN WIN VICTORY (Special Dispatch to.
