LANeFoRD WON IN FOURTH.
Boston Heavyweight Knocks Out Eng
Iish Champion.

London, May 24.-Sam Langford,
of Boston, knocked out Ian Hague,
the heavyweight champion of Eng
land, in the fourth round at the Ma
tional Sporting Club here Monday
night. The fight, which was for a
purse of $4,000 and the champion
ship, was scheduled to go twenty
rounds.
The ring generalship which he had
picked up in many battles enabled
Langford to score a comparatively
easy victory over Hague, and the
fourth round had barely commenced
when the burly Yorkshire man was
loored by a well-directed blow and
counted out.
Langford was at a disadvantage as
regards weight, height and reach, but
his superior knowledge of ring tao
tics. and his quickness, overcame
this, and what was expected to be a
long contest proved to- be a very
brief one.
In the first round Hague was slow
to start. Langford had a shade the
better of it until the end of the
round, when Hague reached him with
a hook to the jaw. This seemed to
encourage the Britisher, and although
no damage was done in the second
round, he showed more cleverness
than the colored man.
Langford opened the third round
with a hard left to the face, and he
used this blow effectively several
times before the gong sounded.
Hague, however, partially closed the
Americans eye with a hard right
swing.
The men came together in a fast
mix-up at the opening of the fourth
round, and Langford put a terrific
right on the Yorkshire mans chin,
which ended the fight.
A record crowd saw the fight, and
the American was a warn favorite,
considerable money being bet at 2 to
1 and 5 to 2 on him to win. There
was some dispute when the men
came into the ring e the bandages
on Hague's hands, but Langford's OBJ
iections we're speedily overcome, and
the Yorkshire man was allowed to
wear them.

The Leland Giants made their first
appearance in Nashville on the 25th
and Goth, and though the ground was
very heavy, the fielding stunts they
pulled off were indeed wonderful.
Nashville has never before in all her
history had the pleasure OF seeing
such a fast aggregation of ball play
ers. 1t is useless to mention any
one individual, as each man is a part
or a cog in the machine that runs
smoothly and with clock-like regular1-
ty. Tolbert at third base is far ahead
of any thing ever seen in these
parts and has done so much damage
to hunters and short hitters that the
players call him Danger" Tolbert. The
whole inield is as fast and as near
perfect as ever played upon the dia-
mond; and the outfield is as perfect
as can be. The AM in which
they peg to the bases and to the
home plate is perfection itself. The
Standard Giants found themselves
helpless before such a team and were
shut out in both games-Tuesday
10 to 0 and Wednesday 8 to 0. They
seemed unable to solve the delivery of
Gatewood and Winston, and in neither
contest did they get as far as Bird
base. The Chicago boys always had
the game well in hand. The feature
of Tuesdays game was the fast work
done around second base by Harris
and Wright. In Wednesdays game
Winston, the first man up, putting the
ball over right field fence for a home
run was the feature. The Leland
Giants demonstrated that they are
ball players Of the first rank, and that
few if any big league team have any
thing on them. Foster Bell and Gate
wood are the equal of any pitcher
in harness to-day. The Leland Giants
are also the champions of the Chicago
City League, which has a very high
rating and is stronger than any of the
Minor Leagues. Their record last sea-
son for games won and lost has never
been equaled, having had fourteen
shutouts to their credit and Il against
them. The team left Thursday morn
ing for Louisville. Playing there
Thursday evening. They go from
there to West Barden, Ind, playing
there Saturday, and then back to Chi
cago to play the Gunthers, a strong
white team which is also a member Of
the City League and is o leading
the league, There is one thing that
all should feel proud over; most Of
the players on the team are Southern
boys, who got their early training on
the lots and hills in the dear old
Southland. RUDE Foster, the greatest
pitcher the game knows, halls from
Texas. Many say that RUDE was using
the splitter before Chesbo or any one
in the big league knew about the
ball. Here is hoping for them a very
successful season.

dered to be issued for both the Sher-
if and his deputy, the %jailer, as they
were for Williams, Nolen, Padgett
and May, the last four being charged
with being members of the lynching
party. Against them, to use the
technical language of the Court, "the
rule was made absolute" Deputy
Galloway and Justice and Ward were
discharged. The Court said there
was direct testimony of the partici-
patton of Williams and Nolen in the
lynching, while he stated that Pad
get and May had themselves made
statements which incriminated them.
In conclusion, the Chief Justice
said:
OPPOSITION to the Court.
In our opinion, it does not admit
of question from this record that this
lamentable riot was the direct result
of opposition to the administration Of
law by this court. 1t was not only
in defiance of our mandate, but was
understood to be such. The Supreme
Court of the United States was called
upon to abdicate it's functions and de-
cline to enter such orders as the oc-
%casion, in its Judgment, demanded be-
cause of the danger of defeat by an
outbreak of lawless violence. 1t is
plain that what created this mob and
led to this lynching was the unwill-
ingness of it's members to submit to
the delay required for the appeal.
The intent to prevent that delay by
defeating the hearing of the appeal
necessarily follows from the defend
ants acts, and if the life of any one
in the custody of the law is at the
mercy of the mob, the administration
of justice becomes a mockery. When
this court granted a stay of eXecu-
ton on Johnson's appeal, it became
its duty to protect him until his case
should be disposed of. And, when
it's mandate issued for his protection
was defied, punishment of those
guilty of such attempt must be
awarded"
Concede the Facts.
Under the facts shown, when the
Sheriff and his deputies assert that
they expected a mob on the goth they
practically concede the allegation of
the information that they were in
formed and had every reason to be-
lieve an attempt would be made on
the evening Of the 10th or early in
the morning of the Goth.
"In view of this, Ships failure to
make the slightest preparation to re.
sist the mob; the absence of all the
deputies except Gibson from the jail
during the mob's proceedings, occupy
ing a period of some hours in the
early evening; the action of Ship in
not resisting the mob and his failure
to make any reasonable effort to
save Johnson or identify the mem
bers of the mob justify the inference
of a disposition upon his part to rem
der it easy for the mob to lynch John
son and to acquiesce in the lynch
ing"

ent story. According to the informa-
ton he has, Bright was convicted some
time ago in Hilo of gross cheat and
sentenced to ten months in jail. At
ter he had served only week or two
of his sentence, he was adjudged in
sane and sent to the insane Asylum
at Honolulu. Here he was kept for
two months when he was discharged
as cured.
From the pupule house Bright walked
directly to the Young Hotel and regis
tered there as John K. Baker, Jr. The
rest of the story agrees with that told
by Bright himself.
IF Bright really was convicted OF
gross cheat at Hilo and has not served
out his sentence. it is probable that
he will be sent back with Sheriff Sam
pua. who is now in Honolulu. Sheriff
| pua intends to send wireless to Hilo
this morning to obtain the facts in the
case.
IF Bright is not wanted at Hilo, a
charge of some sort, probably gross
cheat or obtaining money under false
nretences. will be placed against him
here and he viii have to stand trial
| for what he has done.
Superintendent Peterson of the In
sane Asylum says Bright is not and
never was insane.

the bunk. An alarm was at once given
but the man could not be located. All
the ports On the island were watched
for months and it was finally reported
that he had made away on sailing
vessel for the Coast and had sailed
from California to Japan.
Search was abandoned when the au-
thorities were convinced that this story
was true. Moore and his brother, jaileT
ane. deputy, were discharged from their
positions and Judge Little called the
sheriff, and everyone connected with
the local government, to account fol
their carelessness in allowing the man
to escape. The getaway was looked
upon as joke in after years and was
referred to much in the same way as
the Charlie Ross episode has been dur
ing the past quarter of century.
