1T was a vicious go from start to
finish, with the negro well in the lead
after the first half dozen rounds. From
the tenth in which Barry had been
twice knocked down for the count Of
nine, until the sixteenth, when a
straight left to the chin ended the COM
bat, 1t was wholly One-sided. Lang
ford landed upon his man almost at
will, and victory for him by the knock
out route appeared to be only a matter
of time.
Barry surprised thes ringside crowd
with the strength he displayed, despite
the terrific bOmt ardment and a rally
in the fifteenth inspired his backerA
with the hope that he would yet outiast
the ultimate winner.
While the men did not weigh in be-
fore entering the ring, 1t was said that
a difference in the weight of 80 pounds
favored the white fighter. Barry's
weight was given as 1876 and that of
Langford as 166. In the clinches the
white man showed far the stronger of
the two being cautioned by the referee
several times for nearly throwing
LangfOrd to the floor.
The two gladiators went at one an
other viciously at the sound CT the gong
for the first round. There was slam
bang fighting at close range in the
second and both men were bleeding at
the mouth when they went 70 their
corners.
In a clinch near the end Of the third
round Barry almost threw LangfOrd
through the ropes. From then until the
eighth the milling was a mixture of
terrific smuggling rallies and mitigating,

Barry throwing the negro around
roughly in the clinches and undergoing
severe punishment whenever tney
fought at long range. Several times
during the eighth and succeeding
rounds the white man was hoOted Tor
wrestling. LangfOrd showed the utmost
good nature.
"stop Your Tickling"
stop your tickling" he admonished
during one of tile clinches.
'TYOu can't win that way.
LangfOrd cut loose after the eighth
round and was constantly trying for
knockout Barry fought back gamely
and at times rushed his lighter 0ppon-
ent to the ropes.
In the tenth round the negro executed
a coup in ring tactics. Getting Barry
near the ropes, he suddenly eXerted ali
his strength and threw the white man
against them. and then catching MIN
on the rebound landed terrific swing
flush on the jaw. Barry dropped FOR
the count of nine.
After that time ii was only question
of how long Barry could endure the
punishment. His left eye. which had
been cut open early In the fight was
almost closed; his cheeks were pulled
and blood flowed in a stream nom his
nose and mouth. The last four rounds
were marked by a succession OF slug
ging matches. Il was during one OF
these hard rallies in the sixteenth
round that the BOstonian. caught his al
most exhausted opponent with a
straight left to the chin that ended the
combat.

The first stunt on the program was
three rounds of boxing with Bob Arm
strong. the coIored heavyweight. Com
mencing with defensive tactics in the
first round with a view of improving
his speed and fOotwork, Jeffries, who
is not much given to backing away,
was soon chasing the big negro all over
the ring. Armstrong was glad when
it was over. Jeffries' speed was trifle
better than last Monday but it was
evident that he still needs a lot of
boxing practice to be anything like his

Ever since McAleer took hold of the ST.
Louis club, in 1902, there have been hopes
of pennants down in Missouri There is
nothing doing as yet and will not be this
season, although O'Connor can be expected
to bring the club little higher, although
the first division in the American circuit
this season will be just a little crowded
without him. In only one year since st.
Louis took the place in the American has
the club been a first division outfit. This
was in 1905 when at one time it looked as
though the Browns might have serious de-
signs on the pennant.
This season O'Connor finds himself
with the remnants of the Browns of other
years, and many of them on the shady
side of their baseball careers, with such
pitchers as Howell, Petty and Waddell.

BILL TAFT FAM
THROWS FIRST BALL
Starts American League Play
at Washington and Home
Team Wins.

Washington, April 14.-President Taft
today enjoyed the novel experience of
seeing the Washington American league
team win ball game. Last year he saw
Washington play Boston late in the sea-
son. but the local players got stage
fright when the President arrived and
threw away the game.
Mr.. Taft remarked then that he must
be 'hoodoo," and remained away from
the ball park the rest Of the season. This
morning President NUyes OF the Wash
ington club went TO the White House
and presented the President with base
bali pass No. 1. Mr.. Taft showed his
appreciation by using it later in the day.
Accompanied by Mrs Taft and his mil
itary aide, the President squeezed his way
through the jam of baseball enthusiasts
who mad gathered at the park for the
opening game of the season between
Washington and and Philadelphia.
Mr.. Taft took an active part in the
game Just before play was started,
Umpire Billy" Evans made his way to
the Taft box in the right wing of the
grand stand and present the President
with new ball. The President took the
sphere in his gloved hand as though ne
were at loss as to what to
do with it. until Evans told him he was
expected to throw il over the plate when
he gave the signal. He handed the ball
to Mrs. Taft, who weighed il carefully
in her hand while the President was
dOffing his bright new kid gloves in prep
aratiOn for his debut as a baseball pitch
er.
A Bit Nervous.
The President watched the players warm
up and a few minutes later shook hands
with the managers, McAleer and Mack.
When the bell rang for the beginning of
the game the President shifted uneasily
in his seat, the umpire gave the signal
and Mr. Taft raised his arm. Catcher
Street stood at the home plate ready to
receive the ball, but the President knew
the pitcher was the man who usually
began business operations with it, so he
threw il straight to Pitcher Walter john
son. The throw was little low, but the
pitcher stuck out his long arm and
grabbed the ball before it hit the ground
The ball was never actually put in play,
as it is to be retained as a souvenir of
the occasion.
AS the game progressed and Washing
ton maintained the lead ii took at the
outset, the President became as enthusi-
astic as others and applauded the bril-
liant work of the young Washington
pitcher He insisted on remaining until
the last Philadelphia had been retired.
Vice President Sherman, who rarely
misses a game when he can get away,
witnessed the contest from another box
and seemed to get as much satisfaction
out of the victory as did the President.

In the outfield there are George Stone,
star batsman of 1907; Schweitzer, who has
shown well the past two seasons; Dem
mitt, secured from New York; Hoffman, a
hOldOver from 1909, and Fisher. a recruit.
During the winter Bill Abstein was Sc
cured from Pittsburg to play first; Oleson
is practically sure of his job at second
to succeed Jimmy Williams with Bobby
Wallace again back at snort and HaTtzell
on third. Utility roles are to be assumed
by Corridor and Devote.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
make a catcher cut of Griggs to work
with Stevens. The pitching task must
be taken up by these regulars; Powell,
Lake, PeIly Graham, Waddell, Howell and
Dode Criss. Altogether it isn't hardly
right for the Missourians to expect first
division berth this season.
