NEW YORK, Aug. THE six-round

league baseball park in Philadelphia.
promises to be the biggest thing in the
nature of an outdoor event ever seen in
the Quaker City.
The management declares that indca
tions point to one OF the largest crowds
ever seen in the ball grounds.
Langfords manager Joe Woodman
says he Will send his man right after
Kaufman with the instructions to finish
him as quickly as possible.
II want Langford 10 beat Kaufman as
quickly and decisiyely as he can" said
Manager Woodman. FOR the reason that

ish Kaufman appeared to be the stronger.
even though he lost the decision And
that is chiefly the reason for wanting
Langford TO do better than Johnson did I"
When Woodlands attention was called
to the fact that there were many who
doubted the genuineness of the Johnson
Kaufman bout his reply was that he
knew nothing about that; But OF one
thing he was certain, and that was no
one would question the merits of the
contest between Langford and Kaufman
when 1t was over
Langford will make Kaufman take the
count IL he can. and no doubt the big
Californian intends to treat my man in
like manner.
Arranging for Bout.
Tom O'Rourke is negotiating with
Packey Mcfarland for match with Jack
Goodman for the latter part OF the month.
Mcfarland is asking for pretty stiff
terms. and IL may be that O'Rourke may
not be able to sign. for he is averse to
giving guarantees.
II Packey can be induced to consider
reasonable terms the match with Good
man Is as good as made. for the latter
Is more than anxious for miX-up with
the stock yards favorite.
Sammy Kelly, who is directing Good
mans business affairs. says that Packey
can name his own terms. providing he
is willing TO take his chance on a winner
and loser end.
"Paclkey is no doubt a good boy said
Kelly. but ] believe l am handling a
better one, II Mcfarland thinks other
wise, all he has to do is to say how the
purse shall be divided. Goodman has a
strong following In this city and the at
tendance would be largely made up OF
Goodman admirers. One thing Is certain.
Mcfarland will not draw all the money
that comes into the box office when he
meets the local favorite,
Little Broke Even.
George Little. who was unfortunate
enough some time ago to be manager of
Jack Johnson, Is In the city. Little Is
not Dragging about his connection with
the black champion. On the contrary,
he seems TO want to forget II. ] asked
George the other day when / met him
on the street If he had fixed up his af-
fairs with johnson. and IL so how he
came out
Continuing, Mr., Little said he had won
a nice bet on the fight and he had not
had 10 split up the sum with the cham
pion. He does not seem to hold any
grudge against the negro.
Little takes his affair with johnson In
philosophical way. He looks upon John
son as big bonehead who is crazy
about the society OF white women, and
predicts that sooner or later the black
champion Will bump against stone wall
on that account.
Little had a good word for the pro-
moters OF the Reno fight. and thinks that
Tex Rickard is the gamest sport In the
world
