a FTER fifteen rounds of gruelling
"a fighting Sam Langford, of this
city, defeated Joe jeanette, of
New York, both colored, at the Armory
A. Z. last night. The decision of the
referee was concurred in by ALL as
the Boston man maintained an ad-
vantage throughout.
In only two rounds did jeanette have
any advantage. In the third round hs
had possibly a shade of advantage, and
in the ninth jeanette landed repeated
ly but Langford came back stronger
than ever in the tenth
In strength and skill Langford was
Jeanettes superior, and left the ring
with scarcely a mark, while Jeanette's
face was badly cut.
Last nights bout was the longest
held in this city or State for several
years.
jeanette had thirteen pounds ad-
vantage over his short opponent, but
that made no difference to Sam. He
went after his tall rival like a wild
cat and gave him the worst trimming
he has received in many years. Lang
ford repeatedly shot over his terrible
! left to Jeanettes kidneys and then
shifted his right to the jaw. Jeanette
often broke ground under the on
! slaught, but was game enough to come
up looking for more Langford really
got tired slamming jeanette.
In the tenth he caught jeanette off
his guard and let loose both fists. Like
piston rods they kept boring in on jean
cites body and the crowd expected to
see the big fellow topple over. He
staggered around the ring with Lang
ford right after him.
Bang" would go Sans right and
Jeanette's head would jolt back. Then
the terrible left would reach the stom-
ach and jeanette began to hang out
the distress signals. but kept on his
feet. He took terrible beating in this
session and all the steam was lacking
from his punches in the next few
rounds.
In a rafting ten-round go last night
at the Fairmont Club Joe Coster earned
the verdict over Young Wagner, of the
west side.
Coster's clever work in the first four
rounds and concluding three sessions
entitled him to the decision Wagner
made a bid for victory in the fifth.
sixth and seventh rounds, but Coster
was wary and clinched at every oppor-
tunity.
Young Sammy Smith and Jack Dor
man turned the key in the lock of
their training quarters and will rest
up until the gong sounds for their ten
round bout at the Long Acre Club to-
morrow night. Both boys are in the
best of condition and are confident of
winning. The fight should be hum
mer from the time the boys enter the
rin6 until the finish.
Jimmy Clabby, of Milwaukee, beat
Guy Buckles. of Omaha, at Sheridan.
Wyo, in the thirteenth round of a
fight before the Sheridan Athletici Club.
The purse was s2nG). Clabbys friends
claim the victory carries with it the
welterweight championship of the
world although just whS NO one seems
to be able to state. The bout was
scheduled for twenty rounds, but
Buckles's friends threw up the sponge
in the thirteenth. Clabby starts for
Australia at once.
Leo Houck and Harry Lewis were
matched for six-round bout in Phila-
delphia some time next week
