His theatrical contracts will extend over an indefinite per iod, he will be making much coin md having jolly roaring time of t, and his ChaIICugCrs can go and fight among themselves if they are aching for scrap. Also, now that tangfOrd has showed Jeanette of his path. f is moral Cinch that John. son will grin and bid him destroy Kaufman before ycnturing to ask for a chance at the championship. Hard lines CT Sam. but after all Ae has f coming 10 him, as far as Kaufman is concerned.

 Hugh Mcintosh of Australia is un. 1Oubtadly q square sport and enter orising promoter of things istic, but raudor compela the declaration that he will never shine as supreme iudEe of pugilistic form If the lepth of his judgment Is indicated ny his continued boosting of Bill Lang Ihe licking the latter reCeiv, ed from Al Kaufman in that G. round Philadelphia Whirl ought to not class with the tOpnotChers O1 his class In this country. Mcintosh g entry possesses gamenes5 but if he had any of he other qualities that go to make a successful champion ne kept them carefully under cover turing the tussel with Kaufman Had .he California youth been a swifJer glove nurler Lang would have hit the canvas and remained there before the limit was reached But Kaufman Is a deliberate sort If boxer who measures his OpDO nent carefully and goes along at a certain speed which never reaches the gallop stage. Delaney has been
  at a liyelier pace, but so far he has failed. There is nothing spec tacular about Kaufmans boxing methods, and it isn't likely that there ever will be. He has travelled in harness since 1904, and surely six years of ring service is long enough to reveal just what a fight CT has in him.
 As it was, however, he gave Lang I batterlng that the Australian will remember for some time to come Not but what Bill is used to such rude treatment His broad coun tenance wears many a rough scar as the result of collision with the its general expression bears a strong resemblance to the type of the old time milling coyes" of the London prize ring regime that one sees pic tured in ancient eneraVings. Jin, Cor bett and Kid Mccoy were in Lang's corner, a swell pair of seconds. sure enough, but what's the use. If the principal cant deliver the goods it makes little difference who hap pens to be in the corner. Corbet' had his usual luck in tipping the winner. A more polished and dag zling boxer than James J. never donned a glove, but when it comes to picking fighters, it seems as though his wits go wool gathering When Corbett selects a winner, il is the height of discreet policy tc put a bet on the other fellow.
