THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 138, THE BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK EDITED BY ROBERT EDGREN Joe Gans Going Blind 2 May- be; but Boer Unholz Won't Think So When They Meet on Thursday. ling news that Joe Gans, light- ’ weight champion of the world, 2s going bind. Harry Tuthill, for- Sheony trainer for che Giants, and with the Tigers, has vouched the fact, and Detroit is all up and horrified in conse- ice. Whenever a Detroit writer his pen in hand and slaps out & few paragraphs about Joe Gans gktwho fights Boer Unholz in Caiifor- {naa Thursday, by the way), he sheds = and makes a human interest sy. Tt would be an awful thing tf Gans ee lose that wonderful sharpness of fiwision which enables him to block *everythingg in time and land where he .Bleases. If Joe's eyes went on etme, » Or even took a half holiday now and Fs Detroit comes the start- ay Hy then, he couldn't punch anybody on the nose with absolute certainty. Neithe: could he be sure of stopping everything that came his way, and then we would be forced to endure the heartrending spectacle of a great eshampion getting what he has given so Many others during the past sixteen or seventeen years. LOOKS LIKE FOXY MOVE, “I met Gans down East a few weeks @go," Tuthill tells the Detroiters, “and Roticed t e couldn't see very well.

But, unfortunately, McFarland doesn’t think, in his own heart, that he classes with Gans just yet. He'd rather walt a year or two until Gans develops ossified joints or rheumatisin, or something lke that. Whenever Gans does begin to crumble Packey wants to be on the ground close waiting to catch him when he falls If Joe, now, could persuade Packey rves Were tangled, oF might trap Packey into a fi De roit is Packey's favo ite stamping-ground. He fights the-e| often. Tuthill is a friend of Joe's, and| @lready on the ground. Quite conve- alent. GANS IN GOOD SHAPE, Joe Gans Isn't so terribly aged.
