DAVE HOLLY WON

Sound Beating to Opponent in
Ten Rounds Of Red-Hot Fight
ing at Cambridge.
Especial to The Evening WORLDLY

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. April l2,-Sam
Langford ran against a tartar At the
Cambridge a. c. last night In the per-
son OF Dave Holly. of Philadelphia,
who administered n sound beating to
him in the ten rounds theys boxed.
Holly's ability to cover up and avoid
punishment and his quick recovery
when in close was tho cause of Lang
fori's downfall. Sam started in his
usual snappy style. and his lightning
left tab and quick right cross worked
well for the first couple of minutes, but
after that Holly changed his style and
his peculiar crouch and guard COM
pletely bcwildered Langford.
The last Oun was a hurricane RE-
fair. with Holly doing the forcing and
LangfoTd holding on at every Upportu-
nifty, but even as Sam hung on Dave
away, and near the close OF the
round drove LangtGrd to the ropes with
a hard right swing TO the Jaw.

Yesterday the Giants took the Jersey
City Skeeters into camp easily enough
without very much ball playing being
involved, Mathewson and McGinnitv'
with the eat respect for their
salary wings, allowed the visitors some
seven hits, which, however, netted but
one run.
The Giants crossed the plate seven

Browne led the batting, getting away
with three bunts in succession. Two
thousand fans saw the game. To-day
