Takes Hard Beating, But
Stays for Ten
Rounds.

BOSTON. Mass, Oct. 1s.-Jim Barry.

middleweights ever seen IN the Hub.
was the conclusion Of the 800 spectators
at the Winnisimmet A. c. last night at
the end Of the ten-rOund bout with Sam
Langford. who Is the toughest fighter OF
his weight in the country.
There is good reason for showering
praise on Barry. who is the oQly white
man who ever came here and made
Langford really fight. Though beaten.
he made his dusky foe travel as he has
not done before IN long time in his
career.
knowing the terrible hayma.ker which
LangfOrd possesses, there were some
bets made that Barry would not last
the limit but those who were on the
losing end got a run for their money.
Barry had some weight on Langford-
at least fifteen pounds-and his quick
ness in fOotwork made him about the
tackled The white man was always
sloughing in with awful clOuts TO the
body, and in the early stages swung
rights over which put a mOmentary
damper on Langford's anxiety 10 mix it.
Down Three Times.
Three times Barry was knocked 20 the
mat. As early as the first round Lang
ford shot over his right and then flashed
straight left which toppled Barry over,
but he was rushing back without an
instant's let-up. The same operation
came in the second round. but Barry
wea thered the gale Only once did
Barry take the count. and that was in
the sixth, when LangfOrd crossed his
lightning right to the jaw with the
usual result.
Barry made his best impression in the
first five rounds. and from that point
to the end IL was a case Of Langford
trying for a knockout with Barry stall
ing and showing a kick at the most
unexpected periods.
