HOT BOUT SCHEDULED

Judging from the interest shown in the
bout between Sam Langford and Larry
Temple which takes place at the Lincoln
club. Chelsea, tonight the arena will be
taxed 10 its utmost.
In addition TO being clever these husky
colored welterweights are about the hard
est hitters and fiercest mixers in their
class. There is a great rivalry between
them. and Langford is anxious to wipe out
his defeat by Temple in Marlboro a year
ago. lie is confident Of doing so. and If
he fails he cannot give poor condition as
a reason, for he never was In better shape
than he Is now. He has trained hard and
faithfully Temple is also in good fettle,
and the contest Is sure TO be as hot as
any follower Of the game would care TO
have IT,
In order TO make the meeting dou0ly
attractive the management has added q
1l5-pound competition and a bout between
Gus Ross and Young Mcdonald

feet wide along the fences the entire

and make a bed down the center Of the

will be room for q bed thirty feet wide

If the woodshed is unsightly, plant
