The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1905-06-05

has made him feel that he has arrived at
the stage at which he can win from Lang
ford. and since Sullivan whipped Douglas
the last time I'm Chelsea he has been an
xious to get on the match.
The great Cambridge boxer will go into
the ring against Sullivan weighing probs-
bly, close 10 100 pounds. Yet I'm spite or
this, Sullivan and his friends are not wor-
rying about the result, for the latter are
fully aware that Sullivan is boxing faster
than he ever was before.
The last time Sullivan fought I'm or
around Boston was with Fred Douglas.
welterweight OF fine ability. The largo
crowd who saw the two bouts between
them still remember them for their won
derful speed and hitting and also the de-
cisive manner in which the Lawrence
boxer won both contests. The last appear
ance I'm ring near Boston for Langford
was when he beat George Gunther so bad
ly that the latter's seconds stopped the
bout I'm the 1lth round. Since then Lang
ford has boxed In public, but once. and
then with Young Peter Jackson OF Balti-
more. Though this bout went the limit.
Langford was the master OF the situation
az all stages. BY many he is said 10 be the
most clever man OF his weight in the
world
While many OF the good things said OF
Langford can also be said OF Sullivan. he
is probably not so clever. but is, just the
same. clever. Then, too he Is a wonder
fully hard hitter and has the faculty OF
sending his knockout punches but a short
distance.
Gloucester, Brockton and Lawrence will
also hold meetings this week. Fishtown
will open up tomorrow night after several
months shut down, with what promises
TO be a slashlng bout. between "Blink"
McCloskey and Fred Douglas. The pair
have been training hard for nearly a
month In anticipation OF doing things 10
each other. and 10 those who know the
styles and abilities OF each, II looks like n
hard bout. McCloskey boxed In Augusta.
Me. last week with Arthur Cote and got
only a draw. which he claims was an un-
just decision
At Brockton and Lawrence Albert Del
mont. the great little bantamweight.
Will be the star attraction. In the former
named city tonight he will box Eddie
Carr in what looks good for fast work.
and in Lawrence on Friday night he will
meet Willie Mack OF that city. In other
parts Of the country there is plenty do
ing In the boxing business, but nothing
Of great importance OUTSIDE the fact that
Battling Nelson may get his again to-
morrow night when he boxes Jack O'NeiI
I'm Philadelphia. To the close followers
OF the game II looks as though Nelson
is following the wrong cue I'm getting into
six-round affairs, and It is only ques-
ton OF time before his reputation will
receive a severe jolt from which II may
not recover and his championship aspirs-
tons will then be knocked skyward.
