~, AM LANGFORD, in the glow of con-
dition. and Jim Barry. half trained
NJ and utterly unfit for fight such as
the negro we him. went ten mediocre
rounds last night to decision TOT
Iangford. he black boy had it on his
opponent all the way with the exception
of one or two little instances, for Barry
was not up to the pace he set in couple
of rounds.
Not alone because of the main event,
but because OF a pair of Jap boxers, the
ten round shows should prove successful
in Los Angeles. The card dealt out 10
the patrons of Uncle Toms Cabin last
night was all to the mustard, despite
Danny Webster's easy victory and the
farce gone through by Eddy Menney'
Harry Dunn, Referee Walsh and some
medico, name unknown.
This little affair came about IN the
third round of the second preliminary on
the card, when Eddie Menney put do"
over Oh Harry Dunns groin. The swing,
light as 1t may have been, was foul
enough for every one in the house to see,
and Dunn Immediately went to the floor
to claim a decision. Some doctor was
called in from the ringside and the most
superficial examination possible was
made of Dunn. Mr.. M. d. felt his pulse,
looked at his eyes and decided that Dunn
was stalling.
There was nothing left for Tommy
Walsh to do after that but award the
decision to Menney. whereat the gallery
howled loud and long. While there is
no way of determining whether the blow
hurt sufficiently to give Dunn decision,

caused much comment. However, the
boys are in the pork and bean division.
and the matter was dropped without
hurting the general public to appreciable
extent.
Japs Hot Stuff
The Jap number on the card was the
real paprika, and if McCarey could dish
a few more of them up he would not
lack for patrons. The affair that opened
the evenings entertainment has never
been equaled in a local arena, and the
crowd showed its appreciation of the
event by the volume of noise which con-
tinually assembled.
Young Oyama and Kid Togo were the
contestants in six round show, and at
the starttit looked easy for Oyama. He
outweighed the other brown boy at least
fifteen pounds, and when he sailed in 1t
But Togo was there with the goods,
and the way he shot them into the big
boys intersection was all to the piano.
At the first ntermission they both went
to the same corner, but Tommy Walsh
Strengthened them out and Togo was
able to have his back famed during the
intermission.
In the fourth round after beating his
opponent at every stage of the game.
Togo Slipped one over that fioored Oyama
for the count. The latter stalled the
round out, but in the opening of the one
following lie stopped another with his
stomach that put him on the mat again
for nine. Oyama took another in the
windup and Tommy Walsh grabbed
Togo's hand without hesitation.
Menney and Dunn came on Immediate
ly after the Japs had been removed, and
after the first round it looked as though
a good fight were in prospect. Dunn was
bit backward in the opening period,
but in the one following he went after
Money and several good rallies resulted
Then came the phoney part of the show,
and Menney was awarded the decision.
Kid Dolbert is no ringer. He is a plain
citizen of San Pedro, and If he waits for
his fighting ability to get him out of
there the Kid will die in the seaside
town. 1t took Dannie Webster two
short rounds to put Dolbert away, and
at that Dannie was stalling most of the
time before he gsf ready to complete the
job.
Dolbert looked like the fall guy right
at the start. After a short sparring ex-
hibition Dannie waded in an sent over
a right to the head that put the San
Pedro "wopder'' to his knees. Webster
laughed and stalled for the rest of the
period.
The second saw Dolbert's finish. Dan
ME started in by cutting his lip, and
then, after playing around for while,
quit stalling and busted up the show. 1t
was curtains for Dolbert and he can re-
treat to the seacide in peace. None of
the busy managers will poster him for a
contract.
Barry in Poor Condition
It looked like the races in between the
Webster-D olbert mill and the main
event. for exactly twenty minutes were
allowed for a new book. Finally Lang
ford appeared, and Barry followed him a
moment later.
When they finally did arrive. the big
fellow lost no time in preliminaries.
Langford looked in perfect condition,
while Barry was undoubtedly in no
shape to fight anybody, let alone man

enough, but after a few rounds of Lang
ford's game he gave every evidence of
being way off color, and despite his big
frame he was. not such an awful tough
proposition for the smoke
Barrys game was to back into corr
ner, and then come out to meet the lead
when Langford started something. Sew
eral times Sam intercepted this move
and made hay while the sun shone, and
on other occasions Barry slipped in his
own corner when about to start some
thing.
Langford had all the best of the in
fighting, and in every clinch walloped
Barrys kidneys and face with Earring
blows. Jim was unable to devise an eff
fectual way to stop this, but made no
effort to stay out in the open instead of
coming to close quarters. Langford was
the aggressor throughout Barry making
feeble efforts to start something until
pressed against the ropes
Barry Scores Touchdown
The first round opened with Barry
sending over right cross as soon as the
fiddling was over Langford kept press
ing until Barry was against the ropes.
