DIXIE KID Is NOT In

BostOn Black and Seconds
Throw Up the Sponge.

Boston, Sept. 29.-The Dixie Kid #
California got his good and plenty
from Sam Langford in five rounds at
the Armorv A. A last night, although
the fans in general thought he was
going to be tough job for the Boston
boy. The kid" showed at the outset
that he was afraid of Sam He did
not make any attempt to lead, but
would cover up or jump away when
Langford let loose with a punch. A
right on the jaw early in the opening
round and a hard hook to the stomach
in the third both nearly did for the
KID, but he managed to weather
both sessions.
The punishment he got in the fourth
was something wicked and it was the
same in the fifth. at the end of which
he was so nearly done that his seconds
called it off, declaring their man una
Dle to continue.
