Baltimore, Moc.i Aug. 10. Joe
Gnns, fonnor lightweight champion
of tho world, died at 3:30 this morn
lug surrounded by group of his old
est frlonds, his wlfo and his foster
mother.
Tho ond came peacefully. At the
bedside were Mrs. Gans, his foster
mother, Kid North, a pugilist; Miss
Tallgham, tho nurse who has been In
attendance on Cans, and Colonel Dan
Pondloton, an old time friond of tho
former champion.
Gans' estate is estimated at only
110,000. Ho sarriod llttltfllfo Insur
ance. Tho earnings of his entire
career were over $300,000.
Gans' last public appearanco wus
on tho stago of tho Gnioty theater In
Baltimore, tho night befora the
strlckon fighter loft for Arizona, in
liopo of regaining his falling health
Battling Nelson was playing at tho
Gnioty at tho tlmo. Gans camo on
tho Btage with his ono-tlmo victor
amid a thundor of .applause. Ho
spoko briefly, telling of his sorrow
at being obliged to leave his home.
Ho then pathotlcally bid good-byo to
Nolson and loft tho stage, never . t.

Slory of His JAtc,
Baltlmoro, Md., Aug. 10. Joe
Gans, ttio "Old'MaBtor," is no more.
Ho has licon gathered to the master
of all masters.
Death, which ho fought with nil
tho courage that marked his marve
lous cureor, has placod the last
mark ngnlnst his record. But he
wont down for tho last tlmo fighting
grimly, not for a purso, but thnt hp
might see his old "mammy" and his
chlldron for tho last tlmo and bid
thorn. - farowcjl.
With tho passage of Gnns the ring
has lost one of Its greatost light
weight boxors and mot lovablo fig
uroa. Once admirod,"thoh oxecratod,
for permitting himself to bo drawn
Into crooked contests; tlion after his
ntonoment, bolovod' In spite of his
color,. Gnns' career is without paral
lel In tho nnnals of tho ring.
Tuberculosis, tho malady which
has laid its blighting fingers on
other great colored flghtors, notably
Peter Jackson and George Dixon,
woro down tho onco sturdy framo
which pulcl tho black boy through
many a storm.
Four yoars ago lacking on'
month Gans was ono of tho mos'
perfect fighting machlnos that ovo
stoppod Into tho ring. Ono montr
lator, Soptombar 3, 190C, his physi
cal downfall bogan. Forced to ton
needed flosh off his bonos to moot
tho onerous conditions Imposod by
Billy Nolan, thon mannglng Battling
Nolson, for tho contest with tho dur
able Dano for tho lightweight cham
pionship, his magnlilcont constitu
tion was,undormlno(J and ho was
never again tho gront Gnns who had
successfully defondod his tltlo
ngnlnst scores of Ilghtors from tho
tlmo ho won it from Frank Erno in
1902 until hl3 Bocond oncountor with
Nolson July 4, 1008.
Two days boforo tho Gans-Nolson
bnttlo, .Gans, try ns ho might in his
stuffy little gymnasium, could not
toar off tho pounds of flosh that No
lan said must como off. Becoming
dosporato, tho nogro took to tho hot
nlkall rond undor n blnzlnz sun. re
peating tho performance noxt day.
Nolan insisted that Gans weigh In
with full fighting togs sonllng not c
fraction of an ounco over 133.
Gnns n,OQdoU tb monoy from that
fight nnd would havo out off a log
to make the weight. For throe days
ho nto little more than n bit or
toast tliroo tlmoe n day, slaking his
th'rst with a tiny cup of ton.
When he woke on the day of that
battle t doldflold he weighed 133
strlppml but he had to get below
that tj a'tow for the trunks nnd the
roat of hls'flghtlng togs. Out on tho
road ha wont without n blto to out,
At 10 O'clock that morning ho had
to Btep on tho scales for tho prelim
lnitry wolgh-In. Nolan, naming i
ooudltlon ' that the newspaper men
covering the light protested against
m unfair.' Insisted that the negro
must step on tho scale twlco boforo
the ringside oallng. Fearful lost
he bp overweight, Gans worked al
most until 'the Inst minute.
When he stepped on the soaloe He
had loft off part of his scanty at
tire. Nolan quickly observod this.
"If you are going to fight with
any tnoro clothes on you had better
put 'em on." mid Nolan.

mention. For 42 rounds tho boys
fought savagely undor n blazing
Novada sun, Gans, owing to his
weakened condition, being put to
tho severest test of his life to keep
tho onrushlng Dano from ovorcom
lng him. Ho was forced to rosort
to ovory trick ho know and tho ex
orxtlon told on him.
A few seconds after tho openlug
of the final round Gans went down
undor a blow that Refereo Sllor hold
was foul. Gans was awarded the
battle.
It was his last great fight, how
over. Tile weight had killed him
and tho Gans that won tho cham
pionship from Erne In a round began
to - fade. Whon ho mado his last
battle, which was with Jabez White,
the "Englishman, In Now York March
12, 1909, ho was only a Bhadow.
Tho two boatings that Nelson gave
him In San Francisco In 1908 wore
tho finishing touches.
Gans wa born in Baltlmoro in
187C and bogan fighting at tho ago
of 16. Ho was substituted for
boy who failed to show up at a lit
tle loca) boxing show in his hom
city. He whipped two boys that
Ight and his reward was ?5.
Gans took up boxing because he
was Inclined to ill health. He dte
played such cleverness that ho was
urged to mako boxing his profession
Iri 1894 Gans began to show the
real stuff in him and from that time
'jntll he fell beforo Nelson ho fought
ovory lightweight that sought a bat
lo with him and sometimes ho took
on tho welters. After fighting his
way through tho second and third
rntors he challenged Frank Erne.
Tho champion was then at his best
and Gans was forced to stop in tho
12th round. His eyelid wns almost
completely sovered and tho blood
blinded him so that he could not see
Erno. In their noxt meeting Gnns
won in tho first round.
When Gnns becamo champion he
fell Into bad hands and for soveral
years ho was known as the crooked-
?st lighter that ever stepped between
tho ropes. His greatest fake fight
was with Terry McGovorn in Chi
cago in 1900. Ho had agreed to lay
down for the benefit of a coterio of
negro gamblers who made thousands
out of tho match. Gans tried to
quit in the first round but was
afraid of being mobbed. In tho
second he kept his promise.
From that timo until his momora-
blo fake fight with Jimmy Brift in
1904 ho participated In a number ol
crooked fights, allowing his oppo-
nonts to stay so that he and his
backors could win the round monoy.
Ilia fulto with Brtt wns ono of tho
rawest ovor nttomptod nnd almost
forced his retirement from tho ring.
Gans placed hlmsolf in better
hands, howovor, confessed that ho
had been crookod nnd said ho would
light honestly and from that tlmo
.until his last light ho was absolutely
-n tho lovol.
Gans was quiet and retiring nnd
of a religious turn of mind. His
mothor had hoped ho would become
a minister and Gans sometimes ox
pressed tho wish that ho had lis
tened to hor advico instead of going
into tho ring.
Whon tho plucky Httlo fighter
realized that ho was In tho grip of
consumption ho mado poaco with his
onomles. Evon Nolson, whom ho
had hated bitterly, was taken into
tho fold of friendship.
Gans' ono vlco wbb gambling. The
thousands that ho mado In tho ring
ho lost at "craps." Ho retained
onough out of tho proceeds of hla
last fight to build a hotel in Balti
more, but tho place Is now hoavily
mortgaged.
