jim BARRY EASY
FOR SAM LANGFORD
Throw Up Sponge in the
Second Round.

Boston, Mass, April Sim Barry,
the Chicago heavyweight, was defeat
ed in his fight with Sam Langford,
the Boston negro, before the Armory
A. A. last night. The bout was
scheduled to go IL rounds, but it took
just little more than one round for
Barry to get all he wanted, and he
called on his seconds to throw up the
sponge during the first minute of the
second round.
The two heavyweights mixed it
like lightweights in the first round
and went after each other viciously.
Tire round ended about even. although
it was blow at the. end of the round
that really licked Barry. Barry had
landed three or four telling blows on
the negro and had planted left hook
tosthc mouth which brought blood out
in spurts. Just as the gong rang
Langford came back with left hook
to the jaw that lifted Barry off his
feet and landed him in the corner.
Barry came back groggy, hardly able
to stand, and clinched.
Langford opened the second round
with right swing to the body that
, dropped Barry for the count of nine.
He got to his feet and was dropped
again. He rolled over in the corner
and quit.

ENGLAND'S GREAT DUKE.
Stories of Devonshire, Who Yawned In
His Own Speech.

His Own Speech.
England lost one of her ablest states
men when the Duke of Devonshire
stories are told of his nonchalance, al
most amounting to disrespect. for the
houses of parliament. He took little
interest in an academic discussion; but,
given tangible object, he brought the
greatest energies into play and showed
an extraordinary power of concentra-
ton and grasp of detail. Hcdoubtless
worked only from a sense of duty and
rather obtruded on the public the fact
that he found little pleasure in fulfill
ing some of the inevitable obligations
of public life.
Perhaps the best example of this is
the famous incident of the tremendous
yawn given by him in the middle of
his first official speech in the house of
commons. Disraeli, looking on, is said
to have smiled and remarked in his
cynical way, Hell do.n "A lady to
whom the story of the yawn was told
as an indication Of the dukes general
air of boredom ventured to ask how he
could possibly have yawned in the
midst of his own speech, to which the
duke replied: "Ah. you should have
heard the speech! 1t was uncommon
| ly dull"
A well known Scotch NJ. P. of hum
Bile parentage went to Chatsworth, one
Iof the dukes palatial homes, on po-
litical visit. The Duke Of Devonshire
asked him to lunch, and the NJ. p.
fully appreciated the privilege of touch.
