SAM LANGFORD WON.

Before large crowd, Sam Lang ford, the colored boxer of Boston, earned the decision over George Gun ther at the expiration of twelve rounds of fast and fierce fighting at the Valley Falls A. c. at Valley Falls R. l., Monday evening.
 Langford was cool. had great steam behind his punches. and gave his opponent stiff beating. His principal blow was right to the kid neys in the clinches, which was ter rible. and this blow alone had most telling effect on Gunther and served to wear him down.
 In the fifth round Gunther was hanging on. being groggy from lief, and right to the jaw, and the bell al the end of the round was welcome sound.
 Langford had a great advantage in weight. but was clever throughout Gunther did most of the leading. but he was wild and his blows lacked the steam of his opponents.
 In infighting Langford was clever and with his right to the body and left jolt to the face had GuntheI guessing at all times. At the end oi the contest Langford was unmarked but Gunther was bleeding freely iron nose and mouth. In the prelimin aries. Kid Keenan of Attleboro and Kid Ousley of Pawtucket drew in si, rounds, and in the semi-final Bobb, Tickle put Young Clarke away in tho second round.

THE Pu0ILISTS
CANS MAKES
 ABoLD CLAIM
Says the Pictures Were Doctored to Make Nelson Look Good
 -Other News.

Joe Cans is showing in a Pittsburg theater this week and he will leave Sunday for Baltimore, where he will spend week previous to going into training for his fight with Kid Her man of Chicago on New Years day in Nevada. A dispatch from Pitts burg says:
 T see that Battling Nelson and Billy Nolan are still saying Nelson is able to whip me, said Cans. T have said repeatedly. and I reiterate 1t now, that Nelson can have a return fight just as soon after my battle with Herman as he wants it, provided he toes the scratch and agrees to my terms. I offered to meet him pro- vided the weight is 133 pounds and I am given 65 per cent of the receipts, win. lose or draw. That is just 10 per cent less than he demanded when we fought before. I have perfect right to dictate now, and l will do So or we will never meet again.
 As to the pictures of our battle, which are being exhibited about the country, all can say is that they are doctored, and l can prove 1t. l am willing to put up $1,000 at any time to say that I can prove the pictures have been doctored. It is true that have one-third interest in the pic lures, but l am not getting a square deal from them. l complained to Nolan about this and he tried to con me by asking me what differ ence 1t made what the pictures were like so long as I got my share of the money out of them"

O'BRIEN HAS NO CINCH.

Jack O'Brien looks to have some thing of job on his hands in beat ing Tommy Burns. It is not so much on account of his victory over Marvin Hart that Burns must be judged, for according to the statement of all those who saw that contest it was about the worst ever seen in prize ring in any country. It was strictly a case of pull, haul and clinch from the opening of the first round to the end of the last. But to get back to Burns. He will have to be reckoned with on account of his defeat of Hugo Kelly, who just prior to that admins tered to Jack O'Brien an unmerciful facing over in Indianapolis in a con test scheduled to go ten rounds, but which was stopped by the chief of police in the ninth to save O'Brien from a knockout. That is the fight that makes Burns look good this time.

THE 0RlDlRON CORNELL HAS
 CLEAN RECORD
No Player on That Team Has Been Ordered Out of the Game
 This Season.

Of the group of i've varsity teams composed of Harvard, Yale, Prince ton, Pennsylvania and Cornell. Cor nell is the only one that has not had a player ordered out of n game by an omcial this year. In one of the early games . Pennsylvania player was disqualified for offensive language, but no Quaker has been disqualified for slugging. On different occasions two Yale players have been ruled off for scrapping with opponents; one Harvard man has been bounced for sluggfng, and two PrIncetonians have been sexiled for mixing 1t up with op- ponents. Five men were ruled out in the Colgate e-Williams game, one for roughing and four for abusive Ian guage. In the Colgate Hamilton game a player was disqualified for slugging. One West Pointer has srf- fered the disqualification penalty. al- 30 one Pennsylvania State player and one VillanOva player. In several of the cases ready excuses were made for the offenders. To hear their par tlsans tell 1t, they were more sinned against than shining; it was the other fellows fault. Officials should be very careful and always rule out the player who ia being made target for another mans swings; for according to the line of reasoning of the latter's friends the other man started 1t.

NO DEMAND Ar HARVARD.

When the time for receiving appli- cations for the Yale game expired at Cambridge last week the athletic as sociation had had fewer applications for seats than ever before for liar vard-Yale game. Harvard's allOt- ment was 18,000, and only n little more than q third of the number had been applied for. The undergraduate demand for seats was as great as us- ual. but the graduate demand had fallen off. There was a big demand for Harvard-I Indian seats, and it is thought that in the desire to get these the Harvard- Yale game had been ov- erloOked. With the Harvard outlook better than it has been for several years it would seem that the demand for seats would have been corre- spondingly large. The demand in New Haven for seats for the Harvard game has been record breaker, and Yale folks can use what seats liar yard does not want Yaie students are rallying around the team in' fiue style notwithstanding the hard row the eleven has to hoe. They are no fair weather friends.

LAWYER GIVES ADVICE.
Attorney Tells His Son How to Play
 Football.

Great Harrington, Nov 14.-Law- yer Henry L. Wilcox of the Berk- shire bar has given his son advice in the football line that would cause other aspirants for glory on the grid iron to take notice. Lawyer Wilcox attended recent game and he did not like the way his son showed up. He criticized the youth after the game and as the father was formerly foot ball player the boy knew that he un- derstood the game
 The fathers advice to the son was that if he was going to put on foot ball suit he should play the game right and not be afraid of getting hurt. As a result Wilcox played like demon in Saturdays game and on one occasion he was laid out on the field and the father coOly said, Leave him alone. He will come around all right"

NEW SWIMMING ASSOCIATION
Colleges Combine to Decide Cham
 pionships on a Novel Basis.

New York, Nov 14.-Haroid E. vehslage. manager of the Columbia swimming team, announced yester- day that at a meeting held on Sun day. at which representatives of Har- yard. Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Columbia and Brown were present an intercolleg giate swimming associa- ton was formed. The association will make several changes in the methods of deciding the swimming championships over those previously in force.
 Instead of holding the swimming and water polo championships at diff. ferent times. all the swimming con. tests being decided on one night there will be a series of dual meets made up of combination of con. tests. In this way every college will meet every other college in the league. and the team winning the greatest number of meets will get the championship.
 At each meet there will be fast swimming. water polo, plunging and fancy diving. each contest counting a certain number of points in deter. mining the winner. The speed con tests will consist of an 500 yard, relay race, and 50 yards. 100 yards and 22o yards swims. The schedule of the league has not yet been ar ranged. but all the meets will take place in the period between the mid de of January and Easter.

 Yale and Princstoa have agreed to have but one umpire Saturday, Hv- arts having been agreed upon for the position. The conference agreement, under which big teams are supposed to be working this season, has been shabbily treated. in truth. ignored.
 Harry Cross intended the Harvard Indian game at Cambridge Saturday and was the guest of Referee Mich ael Thompson. Cross says tho con- test especially during the first half was the flnest exhibition of football he ever witnessed He Is of the opln- ion that Harvard will eat Yale up.
 While Michigan is invading the east for the Penn game, the Indians will be in Minneapolis for contest with Minnesota, saturday. Minnesota Is nearer championship caliber in the west than Pom is in the eastern cir- cle of football teams, the Gophers having beaten Chicago Saturday { to 2.
 Ralph Glaze, the Boston American league pitcher, is named as probable head football coach at Dartmouth next season. Dr O'Connor. whose two Andover teams have beaten Exeter is also considered. A former Dart mouth star, Frank Cavanaugh knows as much football as either and is wonderfully efficient in getting spirit into the practice.
 Manager Michael Slavin would en- deavor to charter special train to go to Bridgeport Saturday, if he thought that 300 or 400 rooters would accom- pany the team. If special train is chartered, it will leave this city di- rectly after the 20 p. III. regular. Last season when the All Waterburys went to Bridgeport on Sunday a spec ial train was chartered and about 300 fans made the trip.
 The injury to Eddie Dillon prom ises to be more disastrous than 1t ap- peared at first. Although Dillon was able to walk to the club house after being knocked out in the West Point game, he is now in bad shape, if reports. are to be taken seriously, and will undoubtedly be forced to leave the Yale Princeton game, before the finish. The injury to the star quart erback has cast gloom over the | Princeton camp.

 It looks as though Naugatuck would not stand for Mike Thompzon for referee. consequently Dr Hull of New Haven will probably umpire and will sriert a referee from the squad of Yale coaches.

 Chicago, Nov 14.-Hsirs whose az gregats inheritance will be $86,- 000.000 lined up for practice a few days ago on single football team.
 Every player on the eleven. which represents the fashionable Alcott school of Lake Forest. is the son of g millionaire. The average of the players is il years and their average weight is " pounds.
 Here ls the unique lineup, giving the names of the young players and their fathers and how much each father Is reputed to be worth:
 Louis F. Swift, son of L. F. Swift. worth $60,000.000.
 Gordon Mccormick, son of Cyrus cCormick, worth $12,000,00O.
 John V. Farwell IT., son of John W. Farwell. jr, worth $7.000,0O0
 Graham Aldis, son of Arthur AL dis. worth 33,O00.000. Carl Stevens, son of Frederick Ete- vens. worth $3,0O0,000. Carter FItzHugh, jr, son of Carter FitzHugh, worth $2,000,O00. # Matthew Dick. son of A. B. Dick, worth $1.000.0O0.-.

 Unlike most mothers, the million aire mammas of the young players are almost unanimously willing that their stalwart sons should risk their bones and bodies in the reformed game, and though it doesn't appear that these little sons of the rich" play football any better than do the smirchy urchins on the back lots, they show just as much gusto as do their less fortunate brethren.
